The Power of the Gaze
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Kalvo & Yabui explore how the way you frame a face can completely shift the emotion of a scene. From direct-to-camera shots like Barry Jenkins’ signature gaze to off-angle close-ups in thrillers, they break down how eye contact, proximity, and intention shape the viewer’s emotional connection. Special Guest, Elrico Tunstall joins the conversation and shares his process for working on films.
