Werner Herzog's 2011 film Into The Abyss, a documentary about a man on death row and the humans he effected with his choices. I enjoy the way Herzog always handles his interviewees. He asks questions from an objective yet relative perspective. The emotions and personalities he captures on camera in this will definetly break through your wall of blocked emotions. you are able to see the inner workings of an Texas group that is riddled with crime and hick excitement. what made me decide to blog about this is the great camera work around 1 hour 4 minutes, where there is a red camero. the camera man keeps the reflection of the camera smoothly out of the shot the entire time, then when the scene ends he shows the camera in the reflection and manually zooms into blackness, flawlessly transitioning to the next scene.
