I watched a video some time ago on Youtube about how the famous David Fincher qoute unqoute 'highjacks our eyes' by his synchronous, smooth movements which follow the characters perfectly, and even the slightest movement is mimicked by the camera. This, as mentioned by the narrator of that video, helps the audience engage on another level with the characters and start to understand how each of their movements represent a slight change in emotion. I was so intrigued by this technique, that I decided to try it myself, with a twist. I asked Francesca, one of my actors, to pretend she's falling down, while I recorded her with my phone in slow motion. As the footage was way too slow, I added a x4 speed in Final Cut Pro, after which I was surprisingly satisfied with how it looked. The reason why I did this was to see whether it looks good and try it before shooting Aletta, in the following shots after she breaks the plates.
