Cinematography and Diegesis

Intra-diegetic (firstperson): ‘Hereditary’

During Charlie’s death scene; the audience is placed in Charlie’s perspective. The use of subjective camera angles creates a relationship between the character (in the film) and the audience.

Extra-diegetic (secondperson): ‘Deadpool 2’

Deadpool 2 contains scenes throughout the film where Deadpool directly addresses the audience. Breaking the 4th wall in films makes the audience feel involved, but the repetitive uses of Extra-diegetic techniques can sometimes break the immersion between the audience and the film.

Diegetic perspective (third-person): ‘her’

A perspective that presents the audience with content and subjects for them to focus on. In this example from the movie ‘her’, Theodore is dressed and positioned to stand out; from the color of the clothes he’s wearing; to the various couples who surround him. He’s essentially separated from the rest of the crowd.
