  1. lets say a person is sleeping in a bed, and i want to have a first person view of what he sees when he open his eyes

    since the head is laying on the pillow, what you see is rotated

    for a more dramatic effect i add an eyelids effect

    sort of like this:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmyLzK1TBGQ

    but imagine the head is laying on the pillow



    should the eyelids be kept in horizontal or at the rotated angle?

    im just not sure how to do this

    in relation to the head... the eyelids are always the same, but im not sure this translates in film

    i tried rotating the effect to match the angle of the rotated first person footage but since screens are widescreen it looks sort of cut

    i hope anyone has an idea of what im talking about and knows what looks best

    People when seeing the real thing will have a standard landscape perspective but the image they see is rotated 90degrees (and their brain tries to right it but cannot completely).

    Your choice is:
    A. Keep the landscape, add the mask, do the rotation.
    B. Do a portrait mode image but not rotated, add the mask and additional padding to fill the display AR.

    Depends on what emotions & "perspective" you want to convey/evoke.

    What's the context? Should the audience feel disoriented? Constrained?...

    the character wakes up confused after being poisoned or something, still havent decided

    not definitely a happy mood but like a confusion of waking up in a bed that is not yours

    the character looks at something in the room that feels strange to him and fully wakes up

    im not sure how A and B looks by what you wrote, can u post pics?
