Zoom in Face

Yuta Sasaki

The classic scene you see in a Japanese samurai drama, a sudden zoom-in to the main character’s face along with a jingle. That effect must always come along with a jingle and the jingle must come along with the zoom-in effect. This device forces the viewer to experience this classical drama effect, whether they like it or not. Through this ‘forced zoom-in,’ all the viewers, each with a different background, can and will share a common experience. Each viewers’ personal background that everyone has is mixed and shared with joy and excitement by this device. A zoom-in to your face is also a message saying someone is paying attention to you and that your presence is positively affirmed.
