In the lecture on Monday, we were shown a clip from Tarkovsky’s ‘The Mirror’, or ‘Zerkalo’ as it was in Russian. A mind-boggling piece of sequence shooting, the camera was used in such a way that got the audience confused and disoriented. Immediately when I watched it I had visions of another time I’d seen it used in one of my favourite films of all time – Contact by Robert Zemeckis..
I was confused how they did it originally, and still am to this day. Brilliant editing
