Travelling POV shots are an ambiance-creating hallmark.
The Coen Brothers always keep their low-budget horror teeth-cutting in the heart of their films. Think about the nightmare absurdism that is Barton Fink’s descent into a fiery hotel hell. What you might not realize is that specific cinematographic techniques (and equipment) make their films kin to those of Sam Raimi – most specifically, Raising Arizona to The Evil Dead.
Both share a shaky, moving POV shot that disrupts and upsets the perspective of the audience, hopping over obstacles and telling us character traits through nothing more than speed, direction, and route.
Philip Brubaker takes us through archival footage and interviews, along with shot-by-shot comparisons, explaining why these films are so similar and what kind of effects these filmmakers elicit from them.
