Working the medium closeup, changing marks, and hitting the focus in the tight closeup with . All from a scene from “Barry” in Matt’s On Set Masterclass yesterday. In this split screen, the medium shot shows her physicality, her body language. As she steps into the tight closeup, her acting gets smaller and her thoughts get bigger. Even the whites of her eyes tell the story. If you think it and feel it, the camera will capture it.

Working tight closeups on set with in our on camera masterclass. How do you let the lens capture the secrets behind your eyes? How do you pay attention to what you want while dealing with the technical aspects of filmmaking, which can easily take you out of the moment. As Ethan Hawke says:
1. Imagination
2. Relaxation
3. Concentration

Then say f$ck it and go for it.
