Peekaboo (also spelled peek-a-boo) is a game played primarily with a baby. In the game, one player hides his or her face, pops back into the view of the other, and says Peekaboo!, sometimes followed by I see you! There are many variations: for example, where trees are involved, "Hiding behind that tree!" is sometimes added. Another variation involves saying "Where's the baby?" while the face is covered and "There's the baby!" when uncovering the face.
Peekaboo uses the fundamental structure of all good jokes - surprise, balanced with expectation.
Peekaboo is thought by developmental psychologists to demonstrate an infant's inability to understand object permanence. Object permanence is an important stage of cognitive development for infants. In early sensorimotor stages, the infant is completely unable to comprehend object permanence. Psychologist Jean Piaget conducted experiments with infants which led him to conclude that this awareness was typically achieved at eight to nine months of age. Infants before this age are too young to understand object permanence. A lack of Object Permanence can lead to A-not-B errors, where children reach for a thing at a place where it should not be.
Peekaboo is a 2011 Australian short film written and directed by Damien Power, and produced by Joe Weatherstone.
The film was a finalist in the Dendy Awards for Australian Short Films at the 2011 Sydney Film Festival.
Synopsis
On the train home from the Easter Show, an over-tired little girl is hyped-up by a stranger, who plays a game of peekaboo with her, until her mother begins to feel disturbed by the interest he’s showing. A short time later, the girl disappears in a carpark and her desperate mother searches. A glimpse of the man from the train fires her imagination, with devastating consequences.
Production
The filmmakers raised the film's entire $5,500 budget through crowd-funding online.
Peekaboo was filmed on location in Sydney, Australia, over three days in June 2010.
The film was shot on a Canon 5D DSLR with Canon 24-70mm, 70-200mm and 16-35mm lenses, and a Zacuto shoulder rig with an onboard monitor. DOP Simon Chapman chose to use zoom lenses over prime lenses in order find shots very quickly, because of the very young actors in the cast. All the interiors were shot at 1000ASA, which meant they could be shot primarily with available light.
"Peekaboo" is the sixth episode of the second season of the American television drama series Breaking Bad, and the thirteenth overall episode of the series. It was written by J. Roberts and Vince Gilligan, and directed by Peter Medak.
Plot summary
Jesse gets the address of the couple who ripped off Skinny Pete and goes to their house. He breaks in, finding nobody home in the filthy and dilapidated building, except their young son, who does nothing but watch paid programming on TV. Jesse feeds him, and puts him to bed when he hears the couple coming home. He holds them up, demanding that they return his crystal meth and his money. They give him part of the meth, claiming to have lost the other portion, and show him that they stole an ATM, so he will get his money; they claim it was a "victimless crime", but it is revealed that they killed a man while stealing it. The husband, Spooge (David Ury), works unsuccessfully to open the ATM. While Jesse is busy playing "peekaboo" with the son, the wife knocks him unconscious, stealing his gun and drugs. Jesse wakes up to see Spooge trying to open the ATM from the bottom. His wife, angry that he keeps calling her a "skank", knocks the ATM over, crushing him; she then takes his drugs and gets high on the couch. Jesse hurriedly takes back his pistol, takes the money he can when the ATM pops open, and calls 911. He then brings the son out of the house, tells him not to go back inside, and runs away.
