Steve McQueen
Shortlisted: 1999
The use of extreme and unexpected camera angles has become a trademark of Steve McQueen's films. 'The idea of putting the camera in an unfamiliar position is simply to do with film language . Cinema is a narrative form and by putting the camera at a different angle . we are questioning that narrative as well as the way we are looking at things. It is also a very physical thing. It makes you aware of your own presence.'
