Questions from last exercise encouraged me
to study some sequence from film The Conversation which I saw yesterday. I thought that there are more POV. Here is link to
the sequence http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Vz5MB_BhfM it starts from 6:00 min. I used here only final sequence.
Gene Hackman looks into bathroom on
the toilette bowl and we think with him, what is wrong with it and after it
there is the POV and the camera is a little bit shaking.
and after it we see Gene again and he moves into the bathroom and instead of POV we see the bowl and Gene's bottom part of body.
And there is a CU shot which is shaking also (maybe
there was not room to install tripod) and surprisingly there is not POV but
because we do not see upper part of Gene's body the shot is closely to be as
POV but it is not.
Important shot where we see Gene's reaction and next
shot where we see Gene's legs. Very impressive shot, we are a witness that
something is wrong.
Again a shot on Gene's reaction and very scary POV shot
of bowl filled with overflowing blood accompanied by music.
and the sequence ends here. The conversation is great film and this
sequence reminded me The Psycho and I have to see the bathroom sequence know.
You made this film look so interesting that I bought it and it arrived today. Looking forward to watching it
