1.43 Which discs include multiple camera angles?
There's actually a euphemism in the DVD industry, where "multi-angle
titles" --spoken with the right inflection-- means adult titles. However,
apart from hundreds of X-rated discs, not very many DVDs have multiple
angles, since it takes extra work and limits playing time (a segment with
two angles uses up twice as much space on the disc).
Short Cinema Journal vol. 1 was one of the first to use camera angles, in
the animated "Big Story," which is also available on the DVD Demystified
sample disc. King Crimson: Deja Vroom has excellent angles, allowing you to
focus on any of the musicians. Some movies, such as Ghostbusters SE,
Terminator 2 SE, and Tomorrow Never Dies SE use multiple angles in
supplements.
You can get an incomplete list of multi-angle discs by doing an extended
search at DVD File or a power search at DVD Express. To weed out the adult
titles at DVD Express, select all entries in the category list (click top
entry, Shift-click bottom entry) then deselect Adult (Ctrl-click).
