· What is cinematography?
Cinematography is the art of capturing images during the creation of motion pictures. The main focus of cinematography is capturing images for movies that are both beautiful and powerful in the way they drive narrative. When it comes to the visual design of a film, the cinematographer is usually a close collaborator with the film's director, and is generally the second highest ranked person in most movie crews.
For example: Cinematographers use lighting to manipulate the audience's emotions.
· How could you improve the cinematography in one still from your film?
For my group’s film intro, in my opinion I think that it’s necessary to change the lighting of our film it’s established in; by dimming the amount of light the camera receives. It gives a darker spectacle and thus employs a grittier atmosphere. The techniques in our camera angles as well should be increased to provide all points perspective of our character’s activities and engagements.
· Give an example of a film that won best cinematographer at the Oscars; agree? Or disagree?
Agree: in terms of visual effects and high-resolution picture of the surroundings the characters are in this film has definitely deserved its award for having the best cinematography. We as the viewers, throughout the film experience the different types of camera angles and shots, from close-up shots to enhance the actors/actresses expressions to tracking shots to make us as the audience follow their disfigurements through space. Some of the focus is one-point perspective, significant to this film as their setting is indeterminate due to the lack of life present in the scenes, thus by putting the viewers in the seats of the characters it brings up the haptic visual responsiveness.
Disagree: the environment is very contained, so there’s lack of colours and experience with the outside milieu. Most of the time the characters are either stranded in the middle of space, or confined in a space shuttle. It lacks creativity and thus may not receive the ‘best cinematography award.
