Hey everyone!
I'm making a film with an autistic main character and wanting to get a bit creative with POV shots for this character and perhaps non-POV shots of the character too.
Some features of autism (and how I'd like to highlight it using the camera):
- lack of eye contact (POV shots with the other person's eyes or face mostly out of frame or out of focus)
- poor attention span (POV shots with lots of looking around or focusing)
- obsessive with a specific area of interest (POV shots looking at object related to obsession rather than what they should be looking at - e.g. person speaking)
- repetitive or restrictive behaviour (repetitive/identical framing during repetitive activities/rituals - e.g. morning routine)
- dislikes change (when change happens or character loses it a bit, go overexposed or if character starts shutting down/shutting out the world go underexposed)
Was wondering if anyone else had any ideas/suggestions/thoughts/comments/etc????
Would love to get some crazy/wacky/weird/wonderful/odd stuff in there!
