The Weight of the Camera

Ingmar Bergman - The Seventh Seal
I love how Bergman gives weight to his camera by either being high tilting down or low tilting up. And when he doesn’t move his camera the character’s weight is on you or you’re falling on the character @ 2:10 he applies this gentle invincible pressure by only being slightly above eyeline to remind you a good picture is subtle it is burdened with gravity, it has substance.
