Spike Lee Influence

The way in which Spike Lee shoots his characters with the floating effect to show the character is in his or her own thoughts. This effect was in The Streets which was very effective to show his high state and his intoxicated state of mind at the time. we are definitely using this and would like to refer to Spike as an Influence for our video.
the close-ups of Mike Skinner's face are similar to how Spike films like 'Do the right thing' films the characters very closely to show their facial expressions and also detail of the face.
