How can we make an image faster, bolder, more intense (fig. 1)? Just work with focal length, frame and focus (the 3 F's), but, mostly, focal length. Set the fl for 20mm (wide angle) and put character close to the camera (fig. 2). This increases the intensity of vanishing lines and things faster and stronger than our so-called "real" life.
Note how large Bonga's finger is, how intense the direction of her finger, and how small her head and body is compared to her finger. That communicates "speed" even in a still image.The same thing in video is available in my other blog and forthcoming eBook.
