Or a very very high zoom to get a similar effect.
No real reason for this question, just a random wonder I had. Basically the effect this would have on perspective might be interesting, and I wonder if any movie used this kind of shot for more than a couple of seconds.
That’s quite impressive. Is this it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQE73GDo4So
Yes, that’s a good example, though there are several other candlelit scenes in the film.
It might not be Kubrick’s most exciting film when it comes to plot, but it’s certainly remarkable and unique when it comes to its cinematography.
Definitely a must see (at least once) if you’re interested in cinema as a visual art.
