After my discussion with Robin today I’ve realized that you can’t just stop once you’ve had a mental blockage. This may be a little on the philosophical side but you never stop learning in life. Likewise, I think it’s all too arrogant to believe we have fulfilled all of the knowledge about a particular thing. I’ve already chucked out the idea of montage as a component within my shot; focusing on the movement of my tracking shot for suspense. However I did not recognize the possibility of such suspense through an entire lack of movement of the camera. Robin mentioned this – and it really resonated with me- that everyone thinks of the long take as a movement shot. Why so? Perhaps we fear the still shot. Do we fear the fact that everything is cut so quickly nowadays that we’ve trained our minds to only perceive film through a lens of camera movement… ? Robin suggested I try to experiment with this. I agree as I think a great push for inspiration lies in the simple process of comparison and juxtaposition. What I mean by that is if you are trying out a certain technique, try to invert that technique and analyze the comparisons… they may just inspire you that little bit more…
