Vantage Point...Different way of story telling

Repeating the time scale with incremental level of information can change the level of understanding. That is the basic theory used in Vantage Point.

Each point of view starts at 12.00pm. Pete Travis, the director first shows the incident from one point of view. Then increases the level of information by showing the next point of view and next. This enables director to show same set of screens without leaving the ‘have seen this’ feeling in viewers’ mind. That’s a brilliant method of story telling. I have seen this style in Red Violin also.

Overall, I like the movie. Especially Saurez (the mastermind behind the operation) is far more attractive than Thomas Barnes (the agent). I like the way Saurez is using a PDA to initiate incidents. That a innovative way of using new technology.

Missed post, while we were in Pakistan

I should have included this post earlier. But I really felt this when I mailed to my friend Waqas yesterday. Then I realized that I haven't mentioned about friends we have in Pakistan in any post. So thought to do it here.


With Waqas we worked almost three and half months together, from the start to end. Travelled around the country. Worked long hours. Had issues, solved them all. It was really good to work with him.

Another friend to mention, Zohaeb. Zohaeb is such an interesting character, who was a very close friend for us while we were away from our home country.

I need to mention about Adil, who worked with us in Rawalpindi region and then several days in Islamabad. But I can't find a photo of him. When I get a photo, I will fill the gap.
