J.J. Abrams heeft beter nagedacht over Cloverfield dan soms gedacht wordt
Van de IMDB faq:
Is the Statue of Liberty's head too small?
EditHistoryDelete No. The movie shows us the actual proportions of the Statue of Liberty.
These dimensions are taken from the National Park Service:
Head from chin to cranium - 17 feet, 3 inches
Head thickness from ear to ear - 10 feet, 0 inches
The head could easily fit on a city street, even on its side. The whole statue is only 151 feet high. The pedestal adds another 154 feet.
The makers of the film cited Escape from New York's poster as the inspiration for the Statue head scene in Cloverfield. However, that film's poster depicts the head as unrealistically large, which might account for the misconception that the head in Cloverfield is too small.
How does the camera's battery last for seven hours or more?
EditHistoryDelete It doesn't. The camera is turned on and off many times throughout the night (a seven-hour period), which preserves the battery life for a cumulative recording time of about 74 minutes.
The entire movie is (within the fictional realm of the story) nothing but raw footage from digital video card(s) recorded on a single video camera (the camera used, a Panasonic HVX200, uses 1 to 2 digital P2 cards for recording -- although many high-end cameras, like the Sony F23, were used during filming, they were not the ostensible camera in the movie universe). No one has edited the footage we're seeing. The cuts occur when Hud turns off the camera. We see pieces of "old footage" whenever Hud checks the recording, rewinds or fast-forwards it.
The battery only needs to last for as long as the movie does without credits--again, 74 minutes. A fully-charged camcorder battery will last longer than that.
>>>>This can be discredited due to the fact that P2 cards create new "files" for each new start and stopped clip. Thus the camera does not rewind when using P2 cards,. A clip is simply selected and then played, old existing footage is not overwritten, it is either uploaded to a computer or deleted to make more room. Furhermore P2 cards are VERY expensive, making it unlikely Rob would buy 2, let alone one large sized, which at their largest hold 16 gigs worth of video. Even on standard definition at the lowest recording quality this does not equal 84 mins of recording time. However, the HVX200 can be used with both standard definition and high definition tape (length up to 90 mins). This is how the footage would have been shot according to the film. Making the "one chunk" style we see in the film possible, making the length possible, and allowing for old footage to show through. More than likely the original tape was digitized, compressed and uploaded onto an SD card after the military had found it and that is also how the title footage was added onto the tape. This would be done as the tape would be reviewed many times and would eventually wear out. Transferring it onto an SD card would allow the footage to be watched over and over again without compromising the integrity of the footage.<<<<<<
What is the monster?
hoope blablabla... en dan:
Because the monster seems to fluctuate in size, it is suggested that some of the small monsters are capable of becoming big ones. The director Matt Reeves said that the monster only appears to change its size because of the way it was filmed. "The monster has a pretty consistent size in the film," he says, "even though it's shot in such a way [at the end] that there is a perspective change that makes him look a bit smaller; but it is in fact the monster at his biggest."
