One truth of this world is that whatever is seen here is not always the reality. There are many videos which look very real, but the truth behind them is something else. Recently, a similar video is becoming increasingly viral on social media, which has surprised people. This video not only entertains, but also explains how the camera angle can make a simple thing seem extremely dangerous or exciting. This is the reason why people are understanding the real meaning of “Reel vs Reality” by watching this video.
In the video, two youths are seen roaming in the hilly area. They reach a high place from where the entire city below is visible. When seen from above, the houses and buildings of the city appear very small. The view there is so spectacular that anyone gets impressed by seeing it. A big stone is also visible at this place, which looks as if there is a deep ditch directly below it.
What is shown in this video?
In the initial part of the video, it feels as if there is hundreds of feet depth beneath the stone and if someone falls from there, it would be almost impossible for him to survive. Meanwhile, a young man reaches the edge of the stone and the other one holds his hand. After this the first young man hangs downwards. This scene appears very dangerous in the camera. It seems that if he lets go of his hand, he will fall straight into the ditch.
The heartbeats of people watching the video also increase during this period. Many people feel that the young man is risking his life and doing a dangerous stunt. For a few seconds the whole scene appears so real and scary that one can believe that this is a huge risk.
But the real twist in the story comes after this. As soon as the angle of the camera changes, the whole truth is revealed. Then it is revealed that at a short distance below the place which till now was thought to be a deep ditch, there is land. This means that even if someone gets down or jumps from there, he will not be in any particular danger. Actually the whole game was about the camera angle. The way the video was recorded created the illusion that the young man was standing at a great height and there was nothing below him. Whereas in reality the situation was completely different. The correct positioning and framing of the camera made an ordinary place extremely dangerous and exciting.
This is why one should not blindly trust everything seen on social media. Many times, through video editing, camera angles and creative shooting, such scenes are created which are quite different from reality. The viewers think that what they are seeing is the truth, but the story behind the scenes is different. This video has been shared on Instagram with an account named baramulla_virals.
