BLOG QUESTION ADV: SNORRICAM

What is the snorricam used for? What is the intended effect on the audience? What could you use this tool for coming up?

The snorricam is used to amplify the emotions of a character during a movie by placing the audience in a unique position that forces them to observe the emotions of the character and their surroundings. The intended effect that the snorricam has on the audience is disorientation. It creates an uncomfortable feeling for the audience as it stabilizes the camera and keeps it focused on the person, while the background behind them changes as they move. It's usually used to convey a character's dizziness from drunkness, injury, or emotional injury. It portrays the subjective experience of a character by showing their emotions and placing the audience in their shoes. I can use this for upcoming projects in order to enhance the emotion of a scene. Since it doesn't require too much equipment, it's a pretty easy solution if you want to get a dynamic shot.
