Body-mounted camera / Snorricam

A Snorricam straps the camera to the actor facing them, so their face stays fixed while the world swings. What it's for: disorientation, exhaustion, a character trapped in their own state.

The prompt

Scene paragraph A crowded open-air market street on a bright afternoon, photoreal urban action. Colorful stalls of fruit and fabric with strings of lanterns line both sides, shoppers everywhere. A young Black woman bike courier with short braids, wearing a canary-yellow rain jacket, black cargo pants and a small black backpack, carries a small brown package through the market, her canary-yellow jacket bright against the stalls. Live-action footage shot on 35mm film, real people, natural skin and textures.

A body-mounted camera rigged to her chest, facing up at her face as she runs through the market. 0–2s: her face is locked in the center of the frame, breathing hard. 2–4s: she runs and the camera moves exactly with her body. 4–6s: stalls, lanterns and sky bounce and sway behind her while her face stays fixed. 6–8s: she spots her destination and a grin of relief breaks across her face. Throughout: her face stays fixed in the center while the background moves with her stride, one continuous take.

The face stays fixed while the world lurches. That inversion is the whole effect, so say both halves.
