Tech Task #12- I Heart Huckabees- Video Elements

I <3 Huckabees is one of my favourite movies, and as you can see from this trailer, it is a very eclectic movie. In the trailer there are various shots ranging from close-up to long. In the movie, not included in the trailer, there is a canted shot, which in essence means that the screen seems to be on a diagonal, and is usually slightly overhead. There are various editing techniques used as well, and the disintigrating letters in the trailer are only a glimpse of the odd editing used in the movie. ie. peoples heads are "chopped" on several planes horizontally and float around in the air. This editing acheives a greater purpose as it stresses the notion of existentialism, and existence as dust particles in the universe, in this odd-ball film.
