Levels of Immersion

AMA · Trust Campaign

Director's approach

Did you ask
your doctor?

Coverage is key.

Not a dizzying world of POV, but never fully leaving it. Four levels of immersion, one visual language the campaign can own.

The scale

Each level steps one remove from the body.

0 · True POV

The lens is their eyes. Hands and body in frame.

1 · Eye contact

Talent looks to lens. We're inside someone else's POV.

2 · Wide + motion

Wide lens. Camera moves like a person.

3 · Wide only

Just the lens. Same signature, room to breathe.

True POV

The lens is their eyes.

Hands and body in frame. Our most intimate level, saved for the moments that count.

Eye contact

They look at us.

No limbs needed. A look to lens puts the audience inside another character's eyes.

Wide + human motion

The camera moves like a person.

No body, no eyeline, but someone is clearly in the room.

Wide lens only

Just the lens.

The same optical signature. Room for the edit to breathe.

Built in-house

POV rigs I've built.

Lens at eye level. Both hands free to act.

Why it fits

No dialogue.

Eyes and movement carry the story.

One grammar.

From the :30 down to the :06.

One house, two days.

Lenses and blocking, not builds.
