Everything is perfect until he finds out that NZT-48 pill gives not only
enormous brain power, but dangerous side effects, which could have
lethal consequences for him.
4. Camera shots & Movement
When main character is of the drug, everything is handheld. Directors
wanted emphasize the slightly chaotic imbalance of his life. There's a
harshness, unfinished look to it.
When he's on the drug, they shot on dollies, on cranes, on Steadicam
to make it very smooth and controlled. Eddie feels like he's in total
control, so the camera is much more controlled.
Directors wanted audience to fell what main character is feeling, by
different usage of colour, movement and design.
