By using his invention the Interrotron, Morris gives the viewer a sense of authenticity in his films. Since he has his subjects looking directly into the camera, it’s almost as if they are addressing the audience and not him. In turn, this establishes a sense of personal communication for the audience through the eye contact with the person on the screen. I found it very interesting to find out that he used to simply put his head on the side of the camera so as to still have that personal connection between the viewer and the speaker. It seems so simple, but at the same time it’s completely different than other films. In watching other films, I always feel like an outsider looking in and having no real interaction with what is going on in the film. With Morris’ films, I feel like I’m a part of their world and that they are speaking directly to me and in some cases answering my questions. In watching The Thin Blue Line, it was almost as if the people on the screen were answering my questions as they came to me. I have included a diagram I found on Craig’s blog because I found that it really helped me envision what Morris’ Interrotron really looks like, and truly helped me get a feel for what went into his films as far as interviewing the subjects goes.
