The second is the form in which Boyle injects this dynamic. The entire form of the film is based on putting us inside Ralston’s head. He uses mixed mediums and many different shooting styles to achieve this, aided by Cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle’s ingenuity with small handheld cameras. Boyle employs POV subjective camera work, Ralston documents his situation with a video camera and talks to the camera, we go into Ralston’s fantasies, sometimes they are obvious, sometimes ambiguous until the end.
