#BuckandthePreacher 2/2

This shot:

- makes clear Deshay is ‘lower than’ Ruth

- using a wide-ish lens to accentuate the terror Ruth feels in the moment

- using Ruth’s proximity to to the lens (thus the screen / audience) put us close inside her experience

so much summed up in one close up!

My working background inspiration today is an under appreciated classic, #BuckandThePreacher. Staring Sidney Poitier, Ruby Dee, and Harry Belafonte. After that, it’s time for the weird with The Burrowers and Billy The Kid Versus Dracula!
