Camera to the face
I love the camera to the face shot... you know, like when they fix the camera in front of the character's face, and all you can see is his/her expressions and some background, as he moves around. If I'm still not being clear then see this from Kusturica's movie Underground (I love this movie), when the guy is singing I guess it's his wife's death anniversary or something ( I really need to see this movie again).


Or the other one was Scorsese's shot of Harvey Keitel




I like Kusturica better, I can never understand Scorsese ! Just finished watching "When father was away on business" another good movie. Which brings me to another point, that I have generally liked movies in which the main character narrates the story, especially if s/he's a child. Its beautiful. If I ever make a movie, I'll do that :D
