Summary

Yeah! Abe’s gonna talk about lines! Lines of Speed! Strap yourself into a chair and prepare to be lifted into the air at 50 mph! Alright, everyone calm down. It’s not that impressive. It’s just Abe talking about how the affinity of lines and visual motifs in this 90’s blockbuster classic are both thought out and thematically resonate. After which, you will hypothetically know how to frame camera in order to draw the audience’s eye and use camera and/or subject movement to build expectation and surprise.
