Hey all,
Iv been sorta struggling with the concept of eye line. So far I have been doing OK with eye line by relying on blocking the scene and not changing the blocking between shots. Basically the actors are always in the same position and thus the eye line looks natural regardless of where the camera is. I have a fear of "cheating" actors around in the scene. I would like to move them sometimes to bring out a detail or improve the light\shadows, but I worry that I will destroy the eye line between shots.
Does anyone have any good examples of eye line trickery or even failures?
Other good links on how to maintain eye line throughout the scene?
