Same wide-shot format but noticeably pulled back. Really emphasizing the feeling of being watch/watching.
She hasn't done anything about her suspicions until now. She has look all over the hover until she notices the attic.
The camera angles throughout the film do a great job at playing with open space and perspective for giving the viewer of being either the watcher or the one being watched.
First reveal of the invisible man. In active scenes with the invisible man, the soundtrack turns more robotic/cybertronic thrill to it.
The camera movements become noticeably more dynamic to help carry the movement of another person that isn't seen on camera.
The lead actress often giving visual cues with her eyes that she is looking for or at someone so it even with a "still" shot of her face, there is still activity happening.
Play a lot with these "longing" shots but towards the end, we as an audience now expects there to be someone hiding but it works cause are they right in front of the camera or standing tucked in the corner?
This action scene is the most active in the movie but does a great job using the set tactics with dynamic camera movement and perspective changes.
The Invisible Man (2020) directed by Leigh Whannell is a science fiction/horror film. The movie follows Cecilia as she begins to rebuild her life after leaving her abusive relationship with a tech entrepreneur and his suicide. After finding refuge with an old-friend and his daughter, Cecilia finally starts to feel “free” from her ex’s grasp and gain control of her new life. Just as things start to turn around, eerie instances and an unseen presence starts to mess with Cecilia and she’s convinced either her ex is back or she has lost her mind.
The film does an amazing good with camera movements and wide-shots to keep the suspense and tension of “someone” hiding in the background throughout the entire film. At some point, you start to hyper focus on the background watching for subtle movements/actions or trying to hear footsteps/someone breathing. The psychological abuse and tension drive the move through to the more intense action scene which use these “gyroscopic” camera movements and moving wide-shots to help with the presence of there being a “hidden” figure.
A women escapes an abusive relationship after he commits suicide. Free from her ex’s control, she now feels she can finally take control of her life, but she can’t shake this feeling that he is still here.
Suspense, psychological abuse, technology, tension, “hiding in the shadows”
