While the shot itself doesn\u2019t have a specific term, it commonly goes by the name of the device that makes it possible: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/SnorriCam\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">SnorriCam<\/a>, which is just the principle name for a <strong>chest cam or body mount<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"the-history-of-the-snorricam\"><strong>The History of the SnorriCam<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Xr73ez4lqDI?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve undoubtedly seen this shot many times in <strong>cinema, TV, and music videos<\/strong>. First created by two <strong>Icelandic photographers<\/strong>\u00a0(Einar Snorri and Ei\u00f0ur Snorri, hence the name), <strong>the SnorriCam is a device that mounts the camera to the body of an actor. <\/strong>The camera, in more or less all circumstances, faces the actor.<\/p>\n<p>It creates a <strong>fascinating visual effect<\/strong>. The perspective of the entire scene constantly changes, while <strong>the actor always remains in the same fixed position <\/strong>in the center of the frame.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>The world literally rotates around the actor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The shot is very jarring and ultimately <strong>can\u2019t be used for that long<\/strong> because of the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It can disorientate the audience (much like overuse of shaky cam).<\/li>\n<li>Like a zoom in, the camera draws attention to itself, taking the audience out of the story.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"pick-the-right-time-to-use-it\"><strong>Pick the Right Time to Use It<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-86437 size-full\" title=\"SnorriCam: When to Use One and How to Make a Rig - Wolf of Wall Street\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Snorri-Shot.jpg\" alt=\"SnorriCam: When to Use One and How to Make a Rig - Wolf of Wall Street\" width=\"755\" height=\"424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Snorri-Shot.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Snorri-Shot.jpg?resize=300,168 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Snorri-Shot.jpg?resize=277,156 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Snorri-Shot.jpg?resize=359,202 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Snorri-Shot.jpg?resize=543,305 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Snorri-Shot.jpg?resize=560,314 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Snorri-Shot.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><em>Image via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sonypictures.com\/corp\/divisions.html\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Sony<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>So, if the shot itself can cause <strong>disorientation,<\/strong> when is it best put to use?
