Write a short essay indicating the choices that the filmmaker has in relation to shooting the scene. You may include tonalities, speed of motion, perspective, camera angles, etc. Also you may include samples of the clips screened in class to illustrate your points
In terms of the Speed of Motion, the filmmaker has a choice of starting the scene on a camera dolly rolling backwards while a person is running in front of it. This gives the viewer the impression that this person is being chased or running from something.
ReplyDeleteAn example of this would be Nicolas Cage in Raising Arizona after robbing the grocery store and attempting to get the pack of diapers.
The filmmaker may also choose to create an aerial shots of the town to display the amount of distance the person has from his destination or in other films in may play an important part of the setting letting the viewer know that the movie is being shot in a enormous city.
The POV (Point of View) shot will create more intensity in the scene because the audience can imagine themselves in the characters shoes.
An example of this could be the runaway car on Thelma and Louise when they were about to drive off the cliff. The camera shot only the road ahead of them to give the audience the feel of them being the drivers.

ReplyDeleteIn Raising Arizona, the filmmaker did a great job with the viewers point of view.Made the viewer actually fell like they were apart of the scene.
ReplyDeleteFor example the shot they did with the dog was first introduced to the film they showed the point of view from robbers angle and also the dogs,and they started with the camera being on the robber and switched to the dogs point of view. They made it feel as though we were actually in the scene. They put the camera on the dolly and ran with the dog to give the point of view of the Dog.
Also they did a wide angle camera shot in the beginning of the scene when the mother realizes that her husband is robbing the store they began to zoom in on her so the viewers can get a closer view of her reaction
When shooting a scene there are many choices for a filmmaker. For each scene in the film, the filmmaker must choose what type of shot to use, close up, long shot, medium. They must choose whether the shot will be from a characters point of view or maybe the audience’s point of view. An example of a shot from the character’s point of view would be Cloverfield, in which the whole movie was shot from the perspective of of one character.
ReplyDeleteThe filmmaker must also decide how fast or slow they want certain scenes in the movie and that is dealing with Speed of Motion. An example of Speed of Motion is in the movie Wanted, some parts, especially the scenes in which the main character had his anxiety attacks, were in slow motion. Aside from Speed of Motion, the director must also decide the angles he shall use to shoot the scenes. Will he shoot one scene from a high angle, low angle, side angle?
These are all factors that a director must consider.
When shooting a scene the filmmaker has to choose what exactly he is trying to get across. For example in "Marnie" the filmmaker decided to use bright colors to contrast dull color tones to make the valuable parts of the scene stand out. He showed her walking cool, calm, and collective to give mystery which set the speed of motion. camera angles zooming in on the blood which took her back to memory lane. Which draws the audience in as well as brings understanding.
ReplyDeleteIn most films camera angles and movements can really make a movie. It can bring a lot of life to the movie and some can make you feel like you are really there. For example, in the movie "Psycho" they used very good camera angles that made it dramatic and a little believable. They used certain angles and lights that made a shadow when the guy came in and you could see him dressed as a woman with a knife from the female in the shower Point of View (POV) shot. And as the guy was stabbing the female in the shower they used motion shots going back and forth from the psycho's POV to the woman's POV shot making the shot look more like a thriller. Then they used a good angle showing the blood going down the drain showing that she was killed. When a film maker is making a movie they have to know certain angles or visuals they want that will make the audience engage into the movie.
ReplyDeleteIn several films, the angle shots and the movement helps the film tell its story. A good example of this is Spike Lee movies he does a lot of POV in his films and also uses alot of creative shots to express how dramatic the scene may be.An example of one of his creative shots is in the movie Crooklyn is when Spike Lee and another actor played the role as basheads and they were sitting outside of the brownstone on a set of stairs. The shot began to to turn upside down allowing the audience to see and realize the state of mind that the characters where in whch means that they were "high". An example of a POV in the movie Do The Right Thing, Spike Lee who plays the role of Mookie who runs into Radio who explains the story of Love and Hate. When he begins to explain the story of the two he camera goes from Spike and pans over to Radio Raheem as a POV shot then pans back to Spike Lee after he finishes. When a film maker is making a film, it is his or her job to use angles and different visuals to get his or point across.
ReplyDeleteLast week in our criticism of film class we discussed mise-en-scene, which is simply defined as putting in to scene. The term originally came from the French and was referring to theatre. When referring to film it is a little more complex. Mise-en-scene In film means everything and anything that helps compose the shot. It refers to the angles you may shoot, the clothes the actor may be wearing and even the set. Mise-en-scene gives the audience a sense of realism or a certain feeling by catering to their sense of sight and hearing.
ReplyDeleteOne of the films we observed was a black and white film starring a woman who appeared to be some sort of "DIVA" . In the film the spot light was only on her the shadows and music were all there going us imagery of how glamourous the woman was suppose to be. Another film we watched featured a band performing a song. The video was filled with jump shots bright colors and loud sound effects giving the audience a feeling as if they were at a concert or party.

Cinematography is poetry put into motion. The director takes words from paper and paints a visual picture in action. There are diffent angles of shots a director shoots to give the film a great mood for the audience. Giving the audience a perspective as they were a part of the film themeselves. The visual qualities of cinematorgraphy shot are stark black, grays, white, textures. The director can manipulated these examples by film stock, developing, and exposure. Film stock is defined from the chemical element. Depending on the age of the image captured, will the detemined how much contrast will be used. Contrasts is simply the difference between the darkest and lightest areas of the shot. In a film called Casablanca, the director incorporated a combination of blacks, grays and whites to balance the shots.
ReplyDeleteThe range of tonalities is effected by how much light passes through the camera lens, which is called exposure. To much of light can affect the shot, just as too little. Filters are the devices used to help regulate exposure. Sheets of glass or gelatin are placed in front of the lens to decrease certain regularities. Another important aspect of Cinematography is the speed of motion. Which is a relation ship between the rates of the shot and projection. Rates are measured by frames per second. In the past the standard rate calculated at 24 frames per second, but in today's filmaking it's between 8 and 64 frames per second.
Cinematography depends to a large extent of photography. Filmmakers eliminates the camera and works with the camera individually. Such things drawing, painting, punching holes, or growing mold it are some of the things filmmakers do to create a pattern of light on celluloid. To me film stock plays an important part in this as well. It kind of persuades things to look a certain way. Film stock can be defined as the different chemical qualities of an emulsion of a film.
ReplyDeleteSpeed of motion is a very important thing. Speed of motion is when a certain event in a movie that the director wants the viewer to strongly focuses on goes in slow motion. It basically shows emphasis on the skill of the activity that is going on. Many directors use this special effect to great illusion of the art, and give viewer something gaze in amaze about
Cinematography, the way I would describe it is like visual literature. The term literally means, writing in movement. The filmmaker basically takes what was written in the script and puts that visual into effect by using his imagination. The filmmaker has to plan out the actual shot before shooting the shot such as; the lighting(too much or too little) can drastically affect the shot, the type of angle, etc.
ReplyDeleteCinematography is often known as writing in movement. Filmmakers sometimes eliminate the camera and work more intently on the film itself. Filmmakers can select the range of tonalities, manipulate the speed of motion, and transform perspective. They project certain light to specific scenes to be looked at by the evidence in a different point of view. The photographic image tells a story through the cinematographic shots taken during film.
ReplyDeleteThe range of tonalities aides to the image because filmmakers may have control of all these visual qualities by manipulating film stock, exposure, and developing procedures. The changing of color tone of the images are made to give a certain mood or perceptions of the photo by adding or taking away effects. Perspective is used to seethe audience's point of view from the set up of the scene that the filmmaker created. Speed of motion is also used in the cinematographic shot because it portrays the action of the scene. The camera shots are most rapid when the scene is intensified while the transition becomes slower when needed to be seen as more dramatic
Cinematography is basically the different shots and angles used by filmmakers that complement the movie. Filmamakers use shots such as long shots, mid shots, and close-up just to name a few. Alot a filmmaker may use speed of motion. The camera angle also provides a focus for the audience. The lighting also adds to the audience members response. Different types of lighting and tonalities of color change an audience members mood to fit a scene.
ReplyDeleteCinematography is an art form. Anybody looking to produce/analyze a film should be aware of Joseph V. Mascelli's Five C's of Cinematography; camera angles, continuity, cutting, close-ups, composition, and compliment. The director takes the script and transforms it. Directors plan out shots and figure out what would be the most visually appropriate set up, tonality, time held on each frame, lighting, and more. Each element evokes a different emotion in the audience and as the filmmaker you want the emotion evoked to be the one you intended. Film makers can use filters made of gelatin or glass on the camera lens to change the feel of the moment. The placement of the camera and its angles is determined by the narrative significance.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Mascelli, “Good continuity encourages the viewer to become absorbed in the story-telling, without bothersome distractions. The prime purpose of a motion picture, whether theatrical fiction feature or documentary fact film, is to capture and hold audience attention – from opening shot to final fade-out.” When we watched the film showing behind the scenes from the editor point of view they made this clear, it is the editors job to make sure the film flows through each shot. The shots must combine to create audience reactions of a unified composition aka the final film.
I relate Cinematography to painting with cameras and light. While the script is the blue print for the movie, cinematography is what brings it to life. Camera angles, lighting, and continuity give characters a personal touch that take us on an emotional journey with them. For example, low key lighting is typically associated with villains, horror films (along with the lack of sound), and dangerous situations. Conversely, quick-cut editing can make action scenes more intense while continuous shots build suspense and tension.
ReplyDeleteEditing is also a big part of cinematography. Film editors cut shots and scenes together to make the movie flow. Continuity is a major part. Making sure that characters say the same words, wear the same clothes, and move in the same directions ensure that the audience doesn't get confused. Editing can also catch flaws in production and correct them. At the end of the day Cinematography is the visual language that helps tell the directors story.
In using the speed of motion, the person making the film has choices of what direction should the camera go in. You can either dolly in or out, use a hand-held camera, and use pan and tilt motions in order to keep up with the actor in each scene. In Raising Arizona, Nicholas Cage robbing the store and running from the police is an example of speed of motion. Nicholas Cage running into the house up and down the stairs is an example of the hand-held camera and the camera-person following him. Another example in Raising Arizona, when Nicholas Cage jumps the fence and lands in the backyard with the dog coming full force towards him, the camera used the dolly in technique around the same speed as the dog running towards him.
ReplyDeleteCinematography is basically the art of the eye. There are many different perspectives of the cinematographic shot which include flash forward, point of view shot, or shooting from high angles such as a helicopter. How you want that actor to be perceived is how your shot should be taken. For example if children are having a conversation you may want to get on their level and shoot it at the height. In the movie Forrest Gump a lot of angles from the camera were shot from his point of view. Such as when he went on a two year run that camera was most of the time shot looking at whats in front of him or what was behind him.
ReplyDeleteCinematography literally means writing in movement. Many aspects and views of cinematography such as the the different angles and different movements of the the camera. things like the point of view shot and shots that are shot from higher angles such as planes and helicoptes. Along with the movement of the camera tilting and panning in different shots to show the perception of what the actor is doing in the movie. Quentin Tarantino did many POV shots in his new movie Django with Jamie Foxx. When Jamie Foxx was on his horse in the movie looking down to the ground at the other slaves and at his wife.
ReplyDeleteThe cinematographic shot is the use of the camera to provide perspective(s) that help the shot express the ideas that are being conveyed in the scene. The angle (high angle, low angle, and straight shot) can convey concepts such as superiority, inferiority, a child’s perspective, an adult’s perspective etc. The camera shot (long shot, medium long shot, medium shot, and close up) can create drama when using a close up, or take in the entire scene when using a long shot. When panning in cinematography you are providing information on the off screen environment that you won’t see in a regular scene and tracking is used to make the audience feel like they are traveling with the character.
ReplyDeleteIn the Harry Potter films, angling is used to express the extreme height difference between Hagrid (the giant) and Harry Potter who is a child. This also allows the audience to feel as small as Harry when the camera is angled for Harry’s POV and as tall as Hagrid when it is angled for his POV.
The point of the cinematographic shot is to influence the audience to feel or see things the director is trying to convey in the shot. It is using visual cues to psychologically guide the audience through the story of the film.
I relate cinematography to my photography because it is all about using different angles and props as a form of expression. The job of a movie is too please the audience and to make sure that they follow along with your story. In order to make sure this gets accomplished you must first make sure that you have the things in your film that your viewers will find appealing. Certain jump cuts and b roll shots causes the movie to have more depth and adds the look of a different pov. For example in citizen Kane when he lost the election, the low angle of him in his office still gives him a sense or empowerment even though he lost. Angles, color, light all play big roles in cinematography.
ReplyDeleteThe cinematographic shot is the use of the camera to provide perspective(s) that help the shot express the ideas that are being conveyed in the scene.There are a few ways you can use the camera to shoot during a scene. You may want to use a long shot, close up or you can even run parallel shots to catch two people at one time with continuity.
ReplyDeleteCinematographic shooting is the part of filmmaking when the camera is operating. Shooting produces rushes for processing in post-production. It is the only part of film making where technicians work with actors. After shooting, the film is completed on computers and editing rooms. The camera can move by travelling or by panning or in combination. It can travel in all 6 direction, up, down, right, left, forward and backward. The camera can be supported on a rail, on a vehicle or supported by the cameraman or pan by rotating left or right. A high-angle shot is when the camera is placed above the scene, looking down. It can produce a dramatic effect and make the subject appear vulnerable.
ReplyDeleteA low-angle-shot puts the lens below the eyeline of the subject. This angle reinforces the subject's power.
Cinematography is the combination of the techniques of camera angles and shots. Camera shots such as long, extreme long, full, mid, close up and extreme close ups. Using natural lighting with emphasis on background spot lights. Long shots are used to emphasize the scenery or the location around the subject. Oftentimes, a wide shot comprises of sweeping land or cityscapes.
ReplyDeleteMise en scene is a term that means "putting into scene". It basically refers to how you use things such as background, camera, costumes, lighting etc. to set the scene. These aspects make a difference in helping visualize the scene or the message the director is trying to convey.
ReplyDeleteFor example in the movie Babel, the club science is set by several lights and fast movements. The room is filled with several people and there is a lot going on. This gives the idea that you are at the club intoxicated. It puts you in the scene.
Cinematography is the art or science of motion picture photography. There’s a lot that goes on in relation to shooting a scene for a film. This ranges from different aspects. For example, the filmmaker must consider the speed of motion in the scene, the angle at which the scene is being shot, the kind of lighting being used to convey the type of emotion wanted in the scene, but it really depends on what’s going on in the scene in the first place.
ReplyDeleteIs the scene an action shot or an establishing shot? Do you want to use a long shot, close up, point of view? What kind of lens do you use? Do you shoot from a high angle, low angle, or straight on? These are just some of the few questions one must ask themselves when creating the imagery of a scene. Each different aspect is as important as the other and can affect the impact one will perceive while watching your film.
In Quentin Tarantino’s film, “Deathproof” he starts with a of wide shot Stuntman Mike looking at a group of ladies go into a bar. Then the camera slowly zooms in introducing the audience to who the ladies are. Then a series of jump-cuts shot of each woman in a close ups of them interacting with one another. A jump cut is the abrupt break in the continuity of a film scene created by editing out part of a shot or scene. While all this is going on there is a musical track that seems to go along with the reel simultaneously. The music draws you in subconsciously, but the jump cuts force you to process consciously what’s going on in the frames a lot faster.
Cinematographic shooting is anything shot while the camera is in operation. There are numerous techniques in filming that are used to make up cinematographic shooting. From camera shots (long shot, mid shot, close up), camera angles (high level, eye level angle, low angle), camera movement (crane shot, dolly shot, tracking shot), to lighting.
ReplyDeleteIn the film Babel during the Moroccan story-line there was an extreme long shot used in a couple scenes. This specific shot was used to establish location/setting. In the Japanese story-line when the young girl took the drugs the camera began to move around in a disoriented way signifying that the drugs had taken effect on her. Also in the film, Babel, during the Moroccan story-line as the police and Moroccan family were having a stand-off the perspective of the situation would switch back and forth between the two groups.
Cinematographers shoot from a variety of angles. In order to create a good film you must know who are you targeting. Of course you have to create a film that is pleasing to the audience. Certain jump cuts and b roll shots causes the movie to have more depth and adds the look of a different pov. Filmmakers can select the range of tonalities, manipulate the speed of motion, and transform perspective. For example Friday the when Smokey and Craig was having a flashback the lighting change to black and white and angles is high to Debo because he was the enormous scary dude while Red angle was low because he was being intimidated.
ReplyDeleteA camera shot is the amount of space that is seen in one shot or frame. Camera shots are used to demonstrate different aspects of a film's setting, characters and themes. As a result, camera shots are very important in shaping meaning in a film. Reviewing the examples on the right hand side of this page should make the different camera shots clearer.
ReplyDeleteIt is important that you do not confuse camera angles and camera shots. Camera shots are used to demonstrate different aspects of setting, themes and characters. Camera angles are used to position the viewer so that they can understand the relationships between the characters. These are very important for shaping meaning in film as well as in other visual texts.
Cinematography is the combination of the techniques described in this chapter. This includes camera shots, camera angles, camera movement and lighting. Use the term cinematography to group all of these together, for example, 'The cinematography in that film was exceptional.'
The Cinematographic shot is the cherry on top of the production. This along with the mise-en-scene the shots that are finally picked to make up the film also can make or break the film. You have multiple camera angels along with shots. Long shots, wide angel shots, close-ups, and POV (point of view). One camera angel that I like is the behind the shoulder, but out of focus on one image and focused on another. This camera angel is so unique to me and I find it interesting how the camera is concentrating on two images at the same time, but only focused on one. POV shot is also another one of my favorites, the POV shot is simple but very much detailed at the same time. With a POV shot you can catch the characters reaction, and the true emotional display they are giving you. The POV shot can also make you feel how the character is feeling. I also like in an action movie, how the director uses a dolly to move with the action especially dealing with car action scenes. The dolly movement gives you the feel like your in the car with the character.
ReplyDeleteThe filmmaker has many choices when creating a scene. Depending on the different editing techniques he uses to his disposal, he can create a masterpiece or a failure. the variety of choices depends on what the filmmaker is trying to portray. the filmmaker may want to give the impression that the depth of field is farther so he would use a wide lens or a telephoto lens to shoot the scene. Utilizing the correct camera angle or shot can give a particular feeling to the entire scene or show the mood of said scene. For example a shot reverse shot camera editing technique can give a sense of intimacy between characters. The filmmaker has the power to turn a film into anything with the use of editing techniques and semiotics; the right camera angles with the right sounds can turn a man running from the police into a hilarious comedic adventure that allows the viewer to feel like they are there with the runner. As seen in Raising Arizona, Nicolas Cage is running and with the use of a dolly camera and weird yet realistic sounds it feels as if your alongside Cage as he is running from the police for stealing diapers. The filmmaker has a multitude of choices when shooting a scene from the camera angles they use to the speed of motion the shots are taken, the choices are limitless depending on the message that is trying to be delivered.
ReplyDeleteAn overall defintion of cinematography is the art, process, or job of filming movies, but a more in depth and concise definition of cinematography is essential filming techniques that connects your audience to the film. The right camera shots, angles, movements, and lighting are very important in building a meaning in a film. Its the filmmakers goal and job to connect its audience to the film by making you feel every emotion of the character by using the correct angles and lighting. For example In the Spike Lee movie Crooklyn, Spike Lee wanted his audience to feel just as disoriented and uncomfortable as the main character felt while staying in the south so Spike Lee found the visual for that alienation by filming the southern scenes in a squeezed format, close shots, bright, bland lighting. His change in cinematography in that particular scene was deliberate from the rest of the film, starting off with vivid, contrasting, full shots to a bright, bland, tight shot Spike Lee made that change in cinematography to draw the audience closer to the film, engaging them more in the story
ReplyDeleteWhen shooting a scene, the filmmaker has to make some very critical choices when it comes to many aspects. One for example being camera angle on a particular shot. If two people are talking, and the director wants to focus on the conversation, he wont use a long shot because he would most likely use a close up shot that cuts to each person as they are talking. This gives us the feeling that we are apart of the conversation and we can feel some of the intensity of it. Another example of a filmmaker making a decision is when it comes to speed of motion. To show a conflict happening, or a chase scene the director will use rapid motion effects to show the level of intensity in the scene. He might use a long shot combined with quick camera cuts to show different perspectives and angles. All of this increases the dramatic effect of some scenes and increases the effect that the filmmaker wants us to perceive. An example of a good camera angle in class was in Babel when the little boy shot into the bus and shot the lady tourist in the neck. He used a long shot to show us the distance the boys were from the bus and that alone showed us how accurate the little boy's shot must have been. A few scenes later the director changed the perspective of the boys to the perspective shot of the tourists inside of the bus reacting to the lady being shot. I think this was an excellent method used by the filmmaker to give us two different point of views. These are examples of how the director must make some critical choices when it comes to shooting a film.
ReplyDeleteCinematography is the art or technique of movie photography, including both the shooting and development of the film. The producer brings their creative thoughts and ideas from paper to motion pictures. The producer has to first make a blue print of the different camera tonalities, speed of motion, perspective, camera angles, etc. in order to keep the interest of the audience. The director also purposely adds connotative and denotative meanings throughout the movie. An example of connotative and denotative meaning is in the movie The Nutty Profess. After having a nightmare Sherman goes the university’s lab and tests the weight loss formula on himself. The Denotation of that scene is as Sherman prepares to take the formula we see a camera focus on the blue formula. We also see a flash of lightning after Sherman consumes the formula. The Connotation is an indicator that this blue formula is the key to Sherman’s weight loss. The lightning indicates possible trouble, or its purpose was to give the movie a more scientific fiction theme.
ReplyDeleteThe cinemographic shot helps the producers of a film paint a picture for the audience. Without proper preparation and strategic placement of shots, the image of what the filmmakers are trying to convey can be messed up. They are basically painting a moving portrait for others to interpret. Tonalities can play a key role in the cinematographic shot. If the cinematogropher wants the audience to feel sad, he will direct the actors to have a sad tone and etc. Camera angles and POV shots are able to illustrate to an audience whatever message needs to be sent. If there is dialogue between two characters, the cinematographer may get a close-up of someone's face to make the audience feel like they can connect. You want to keep the audience engaged at all times.
ReplyDeleteThe cinematographic shot that the director makes is highly essential for the success of the film. Depending on the type of movies, such components such as tonalities, speed of motion, perspective, and etc. are very essential to making the right feel and right scene in general. For example, if a director wants to work with perspective, it would be best to do it in a scene were perspective plays a a vital role like a killer coming advancing upon it's victim with the victim's awareness. This type of cinematographic shot will establish a feeling of fear for the victim amongst the audience and inducing emotion is always a goal for a director. another example would be using the right camera angles. Camera angles really do add to the intensity of a scene and is the center piece of making a successful one. An example would be if two people were engaging in a duel and setting up the camera so that both fighters are viewed and observed. Using cinematographic shots are very key to keeping the audience entertained.
ReplyDeleteAn example of the right cinematographic shot would be during a scene in The Amazing Spider Man where the hero was flying through the air and the camera was moving through the air with the antagonist. This gave the audience the brief sensation that they were also flying through the air
The choices that the film maker has in order to indicate the choices in relation to shooting the scene includes characteristics such as speed of motion,perspective and camera angles just to name a few.The speed of motion during a film gives the scene a sense of life that necessarily puts the scene into action.The perspective is the main point of view shot that analyzes what the director is trying to present and what the viewer sees. The camera angles are one of the most important pieces to a specific movie,tv show and etc. The camera angles are what you can generally feel for a film and its point of view in order to make the cinematograhic shot successful.
ReplyDeleteCinematography is the process in filming a movie. Camera angles are very important when creating nice scenes. The director is in control of the cinematography. There are many different film shots that enhances a movie. Slow motion is used to create impact of the action. Freeze frames are used to introduce characters usually at the beginning of a film. Close up angles are used to show intimacy or emotional connection. Many directors shoot in shutter speed because it keep the footage from being choppy. During the driving scenes in the movie "Motorcycle Diaries" the director chose long shots to show more of the scenery while traveling. This gives the viewers a good idea of where the setting is.
ReplyDeleteWhen filmmakers come to the conclusion on what they want, they depict to different sources. They allude to them because they want different aspects of media to go against the mindset of what is intended. When going for a certain theme they may aim for different perspectives and angles. A film director never wants to be like everyone else. So they have to think outside the box and think of different ways to counter their competition. Most of the time the film director’s curve to using more of the different motions speeds of the camera. This way the audience feels more engage on what is going on.
ReplyDeleteThe decisions a filmmaker has to make for shooting a scene are endless. Some of the qualities that go into these shots are photographic aspect, framing, and duration. From the lighting to the angle, everything is in the film maker's hands.
ReplyDeleteTo begin with color lets focus on totalities. You have the choice between using black and white images, color images, or in some cases a combination of the two. The visual qualities are strictly in the hands of the film maker.Different colors create different moods such as saturated colors; these colors create very vibrant and exciting scenes rather than black and white scenes or scenes with dull lighting creating dull colors create mystery or suspense.
Speed of motion is another factor that has a major effect on the film. Frames taken at average speed are shot at 24 frames per second.Just like the movie Babel most of the movie was shot at 24 frames per second with the exception of the Chinese girl taking drugs from strangers. You can tell that the frames per second dropped to under 24 frames to show the drugs effect on Cheiko.

Cinematography can be defined as the art or technique of motion-picture photography. Cinematographic qualities of the shot include the photograpic aspect, framing and duration. The filmmaker can select a range of tonalities, manipulate the speed of motion and transform perspective. The director can also use contrast, color contrast, exposure and speed of motion to affect how the movie. The director may certain types of camera movements or framing to convey a certain message. The cinematographic shot is extremely important to the films effect on the viewer.
ReplyDeleteCinematography is defined as the art of making motion pictures. The main focused of cinematography is capturing images for movies that are both beautiful and powerful in the way they drive the narration. The choices that the filmmaker makes, such as what angles or what colors he uses to highlight a scene, is broad. They also uses elements such as camera shots (pov, long shots, and close ups), camera motions (panning, and usage of the dolly) and lighting to create the image they want the audience to capture.
ReplyDeleteCinematography is writing in motion or even the movement it also depends on the photography or should i say the writing in light. Also it creates vigorous patterns of light in the celluloid. The people behind the film can make different tonalities to change up the speed or transform the concept of the motion. Within the shot its many different aspects like totalities which a filmmaker can control visual qualities and expose and develop procedures. Another is contrast there are two contrasts high and low one possesses wide range of grays with no white or black areas and the other is narrow shows bright white lights. You have color contrast, exposure, motion speed, perspective, lenses and also framing. Camera movement is also involve with all these aspects make up the shot. The shot is one of the most important things in film work because of its aspect being able to change how viewers look at the movie or to add emphasis to the scene.

Cinematography stands for writing in movement. There are three different types of cinematographic qualities of the shot which are photographic aspect, framing, and duration. Cinematography depends on photography to create patterns of light on the celluloid. The filmmaker can select a range of tonalities to manipulate the speed of motion and also to transform the perspective of the film. The range of totalities includes a black or white range of colors and the filmmaker controls the visual qualities with film stock. Also contrast can be affected within the film. Perspective is affected by the lens gathering light from scenes and transmitting them on a flat surface to form an image. The perspectives included are lens focal length, short focal length, and also zoom lens.However techniques of the camera can affect cinematography as well. Techniques range from the most basic movements of panning (side-to-side) and tilting (vertical shift in viewpoint from a fixed position) to tracking (placing the camera on a moving platform to move it to the left or right). These techniques are used in movies to help create the audience visual perspective of the movie.
ReplyDeleteCinematography is the art of making motion pictures. It deals with shooting scenes and using those scenes to tell a story. The cinematographer, therefore, is the camera operator who uses the movie camera to tell his/her story. When it comes to the visual design of a film the cinematographer is usually a close collaborator with the films director and is generally the second highest ranked in movie crews. They also use various camera shots such as close shot, and long shots and different camera techniques. Also cinematography is a function of the relationship between the camera lens and a light source, the focal length of the lens, the camera's position and its capacity for motion. Lighting, color, tone, clothing, mood, focal point, and camera placements, as well as depth of field are very crucial elements in cinematography that will give the audience an entertaining film.
ReplyDeleteCinematographic shooting is the part of film making when the camera is operating. Shooting produces rushes for processing in post-production. The shot is the only pat of the film when the producers actually works with the actors and side actors.The cinematographic shot consists of the cmaera movements, the shooting angle, and the framing.
ReplyDeleteCamera movements- The camera can travel in 6 directions; up, down. left, right, forward and backwards. The camera may even be supportd on a rail.
Shooting Angle- Two types of shots are high shot and low shots. A high shot is when the camera is placed above the scene. a low shot is placed below the scene.
Framing- An artistic choice. Common framing choices are: the extreme long shot, the medium long shot , the medium shot, the close shot, the close up (typically on a face or a specific object, the extreme close-up
The qualities of the cinematographic shot consist of: photographic aspect, framing, and duration. Cinematography is the creation of patterns of light on a celluloid. The filmmaker can select a rang of tonalities (black and white or range of colors;contrast between darker and lighter areas of the frame; exposure) and manipulate the speed of motion, (rate of shooting and rate of projection; fast motion and slow motion effect; time lapse;) ,transform the perspective (lenses affect perspective; lens focal length; short focal length;) and camera angles (pan, tilt, crane, tracking; hand held, steady cam, the long take, re framing;).
ReplyDeleteThe filmmaker must you these characteristics and qualities to piece together how they want to shoot and direct their film. Depending on the characters and or the action that is going on in the film, a filmmaker may have to shoot their shots numerous times in different ways in order to get the perfect shot that fits for their film.
Cinematography is writing in movement whereas Photography is writing in light. Some Cinematographic qualities of the shot that the filmmaker should consider includes the Photographic aspect, Framing, and Duration. The filmmaker should also consider the range of tonalities, speed of motion and perspective. All considerations play a major role in the Cinematographic shot.
ReplyDeleteTonalities includes many different range of colors, exposure, and film stock. It also includes the contract which refers to the difference between the darkest and lightest area of the frame. When referring to the speed of motion, you are referring to the rate of shooting and rate of projection. Filmmakers have the option to choose a fast motion or slow motion effect. Exposure refers to how much light passes through the camera lens. Filters, glass or gelatin placed in the front of the camera can affect the films exposure.

Cinematography is the combination of the techniques of camera angles and shots. There are different forms of camera shots such as long, extreme long, full, mid, close up and extreme close ups. Using natural lighting with emphasis on background spot lights. For example a close up are used to show in-depth aspects of a shot to capture emotion or to see something up close.

DeleteCinematography is writing in movement or writing in light. It's manipulating the film stock, exposure, and developing procedures. Black Swan comes to mind because of the POV of the dancer and the camera focus on her. The lights in her dance scenes helps the viewer understand the emotions of the dance and how she is feeling. This movie is about a female ballerina and the stress that comes with being a performer.

Cinematography can be described as using camera angles and shots to rely a message throughout a cinematic piece. Different camera angles and shots can mean different things with in cinema. For example extreme close ups and close ups tap into the emotion of the character and gives the audience a connection with in the character.
ReplyDeleteCinematographic shooting is the part of filmmaking when the camera is operating. Shooting produces rushes for processing in post-production. It is the only part of film making where technicians work with actors. After shooting, the film is completed on computers and editing rooms. The camera can move by travelling or by panning or in combination. It can travel in all 6 direction, up, down, right, left, forward and backward. The camera can be supported on a rail, on a vehicle or supported by the cameraman or pan by rotating left or right. A high-angle shot is when the camera is placed above the scene, looking down. It can produce a dramatic effect and make the subject appear vulnerable.
ReplyDeleteA low-angle-shot puts the lens below the eyeline of the subject. This angle reinforces the subject's power.
Cinematography, the art and technology of motion-picture photography. It involves such techniques as the general composition of a scene; the lighting of the set or location; the choice of cameras, lenses, filters, and film stock; the camera angle and movements; and the integration of any special effects. All these concerns may involve a sizable crew on a feature film, headed by a person variously known as the cinematographer, first cameraman, lighting cameraman, or director of photography, whose responsibility is to achieve the photographic images and effects desired by the director. There is a video on Youtube called the top 20 amazing cinematic techniques that some great techniques that uses semotics, tonalities, framing, shooting angles, and lighting.

The film maker chooses to include in his scenes are camera angles, speed of motion, perspective and others. The speed of motion gives the scene a realistic view. This realistic view of the action. The perspective characteristic is the main point of view that the director presents and how the audience sees it. The camera angles are the point of view for the audience. It determines how the audience sees the scene. All these characteristics determine the cinematographic shot and the outcome of the film.
ReplyDeleteWhen discussing the cinematography shot, you always have to consider the photographic aspect, duration, and framing. When picking a range of totalities, you can choose black, white, or a range of colors. Things that you would have to consider is whether you want high contrast or low contrast. Also, when making a film there are different angles that you can take, whether it be a high angle, low angle, or straight-on, but you also have to consider what lens you want to use. A wide angle lens will be below 35mm, middle focal length will be 35mm-50mm, and a long focal length will be anything above that. Focal length affects depth of field and when trying to film with a wide focal length, that already produces depth. A telephoto however will never create a sense of depth. When producing a film, you also have to consider the speed of motion. The standard set is 24 frames per second. If you want something to go in fast motion filmmakers choose something below 24 like 8, and if you want something to go in slow motion, something above 24 will work. Adjust your liking. There are also cool camera movements you can use like: pan, tilt, tracking/dolly, and crane. Directors choose pan and tilt to make objects appear more solid and three dimensional, while tracking and crane shots supply continuous changing perspectives on passing objects as the frame continuously shifts its orientation.
ReplyDeleteThere are three cinematographic qualities of a shot; photographic aspect, framing, and duration. Cinematography depends on creating patterns of light on the celluloid. The film maker can select a range of tonalities, manipulate the speed of motion, and transform perspective. The film maker may control the visual qualities by manipulating film stock, exposure, and developing procedures. Different types of stock are differentiated by the chemical qualities of the emulsion. Contrast refers to the degrees of difference between the darkest and lightest area of the film. Fast film stock is very sensitive to reflected light and will produce a contrast look, while a slower, less sensitive one will be in control. The film maker has the ability to control each of the aspects listed.
ReplyDeleteWhen shooting a scene there are many choices for a filmmaker. For each scene in the film, the filmmaker must choose what type of shot to use, close up, long shot, medium. They must choose whether the shot will be from a characters point of view or maybe the audience’s point of view. An example In the Spike Lee movie Crooklyn, Spike Lee wanted his audience to feel just as disoriented and uncomfortable as the main character felt while staying in the south so Spike Lee found the visual for that alienation by filming the southern scenes in a squeezed format, close shots, bright, bland lighting. His change in cinematography in that particular scene was deliberate from the rest of the film, starting off with vivid, contrasting, full shots to a bright, bland, tight shot Spike Lee made that change in cinematography to draw the audience closer to the film, engaging them more in the story
ReplyDeleteCinematography is the art of the cinematographer or director of photography . A good cinematographer does more than merely light a scene. They go and beyond what is set in front or what the audience excepts to see. The power of cinematography consists of extreme emotions of delight, sadness, or fear through the mastery of a cinematic syntax that has been developed for more than a century. It is one of the most complex and challenging areas of filmmaking. Cinematographers are the head of camera and lighting, have the largest crew on any film set. They have be on point so the film can be ready to on important movements. In the Tomb Raider films, it has many moving and stunts that makes the film maker aware of the aspects of the film.
ReplyDeleteThe cinematographic shot is what tells a story about the movie. Mise en scene basically refers to how you use things such as background, camera, costumes, and lighting to set the scene. When directing a movie, you are supposed to make the audience feel that their actually apart of the film.
ReplyDeleteThe cinematographic shot gives a perception the audience that are watching the film. The shot will go more in-depth and give the audience a better understanding of the film. The cinematographic show is used widely also instead of just movies. The makers of GTA V recently came out with a first person point of view, which actually gives the gamers playing a realistic feel like they are actually in the game, that is a prime example of the cinematographic shot.

The camera angle also tells the audience where to look while lighting adds to the audience members response to the film.
ReplyDeleteThe way you light your film significantly affects how your audience perceives it. Using moody lighting with dark shadows in a teen comedy is not advisable; by the same token, your film noir is unlikely to work if there are bright colors and flat lighting. Imaginative and tonally appropriate lighting is crucial to successful filmmaking. The rule of thirds prescribes the placement of significant vertical and horizontal elements along the horizontal and vertical thirds. Good framing techniques will work wonders for your film. I am convinced – and there is evidence of this in every film – that imaginative camerawork will increase the connection between the audience and your story. There is so much mediocre camerawork around that you may as well err on the side of unusual angles – just make sure that your choices are motivated by the characters and the scene, not by a self-defeating lust for wacky camera angles.

The filmmaker can select a range of tonalities, manipulate the speed of motion and transform perspective.
ReplyDeleteWhen filmmakers make films, there are different dilemmas filmmakers abide by. These dilemmas are: choosing the range of tonalities, manipulating the speed of motion, and transforming the perspective. Sometimes in order for filmmakers to establish perfect films in the audience’s eyes, they omit cameras. According to a previous class discussion, human beings’ sight seeing in films are sensitive to the differences.
ReplyDeleteAny images that appear to be the colors black and white, it is a possibility that they will exhibit or show a range of colors. In other words, it enables filmmakers to have control over every optical standard by controlling the exposure, film stocks, and established film policy.
Filmmakers who present what is happening in the film prescribe the speed of the actions. For example, the motions of the speed can either be fast or slow. In the early years, filmmakers only had the choice of choosing 24 frames per second in a film. Nowadays, filmmakers are allowed to choose the frames 8 to 64 per second. The more frames per second that are present in the film, the slower the screen action will show. The small frames per second that is present, the faster the screen action will show.
Film makers want to make their vision come true once they start to film. There are a lot of techniques that film makers can use to make their vision come true and this is created by using different elements in Cinematography. Three cinematographic qualities of a shot are 1. Photographic aspect ,2.Framing, 3.Duration. These all deal with the visual aspect of film. Other aspects of cinematography include exposure, camera movements, and the speed of motion. All of the qualities can create a mood and affect the viewers in a certain
ReplyDeleteCinematography consists of a director expressing his story through video. It includes him using camera angles, high, low, mid, close, and long angles to help along with lighting such as (high key, low key, soft, & hard). All of these components help him convey a message to his audience. They even help him to decide what kind of message he wants to convey.
ReplyDeleteSuch as bebel director making chicko blind and showing the world and her life experiences and even as far to put the audience in her shoes, these are prime examples of director decisions!
There are different forms of camera shots such as long, extreme long, full, mid, close up and extreme close ups. Using natural lighting with emphasis on background spot lights. For example a close up are used to show in-depth aspects of a shot to capture emotion or to see something up close. Cinematography is writing in movement or writing in light, the use of the camera to provide perspectives that help the shot express the ideas that are being conveyed in the scene.
ReplyDeleteAn essential part of everyday life is our eyes. Funny as it may sound this is serious, and the director uses 'the cinematographic shot" is the director opportunity to point our eyes in the right direction. He can't say, hey stare into the eyes of this beautiful woman, so instead he gives us a close up of her face as the camera slowly zooms into an extreme close up of her eyes. He has just communicated to us what we need to look at. Vise versa, one of my favorite camera shots, the point of view shot, a shot very essential in scary movies. Imagine watching a horror film and you never see that point of view shot of the main character walking into a dark room looking for danger as the light from the flashlight screeches through the darkness. It really adds to the ora of the scene, pretty necessary in film.
ReplyDeleteCinematography is writing in motion. When it comes to cinematography, the director has several options on how he/she wants their frame to be. The range of totalities consists of the range of colors that are used during the shot. Color contrast consists of the toning and tinting of the shot. The exposure regulates how much light passes through the camera. The speed of motion is the rate of shooting and the rate of projection. The more the frames per second the slower the screen action will be. The type of lens that is used is also important in cinematography. Using a wide lens or a long focal lens will be the difference in the frame shot and what the viewers will see.
ReplyDeleteIn class, we watch a video that feature a break dancer. In the video, the director used the speed of motion to sped up and slow down the dancer's moves. The director was able to do that by using more frames per second to slow his moves down and fewer frames to speed him up. We also viewed a video that showed nature but the director used a certain lens to point out the depth and the perspective in the pictures and the nature bugs. The selective focus made the frame more precise to the focus point.
The cinematographic shot is the use of the camera to provide perspectives that ultimately help the shot express the ideas that are being conveyed in the scene. The angle (high angle, low angle, and straight shot) can convey concepts such as superiority, inferiority, a child’s perspective, an adult’s perspective etc. The camera shot (long shot, medium long shot, medium shot, and close up) can create drama when using a close up, or take in the entire scene when using a long shot. When panning in cinematography you are providing information on the off screen environment that you won’t see in a regular scene and tracking is used to make the audience feel like they are traveling with the character.
ReplyDeleteWhen a director decides to shoot a scene there are many different options and possibilities that the filmmaker must think about in order to put on a great production. For each scene in the film, the filmmaker must choose what type of shot to use, whether it is a close up or long shot. Different shots determine what the audience will take out of the production. For example, if the filmmaker shoots the shot from underneath the character, that will show that the character is superior and if he shoots from above then that means that the person is inferior. When the director decides to utilize the Speed of Motion, the filmmaker has a choice of making a clip in slow motion , regular pace, or fast pace. They make decisions on which point of view that they will display the film and from whose point of view. Individuals do not always realize the amount of work that a filmmaker undergoes in order to put on a production because they only see the final product.
ReplyDeleteDirectors shoot scenes in the movie to paint a picture that we as the viewers don't even realize we are looking at. Various shots are taken by the camera when filming angels and perspectives of the characters. High angle, low angle, and straight shot all convey concepts such as someone being superior. The actual camera shots for example, long shot, medium long shot, medium shot, and close up create the effect of making the viewer feel as though they are in the movie and it creates that dramatic effect.
ReplyDeleteThe range of tonalities are effected by the amount of light that passes through the camera lens, which is called exposure. To much of this light can greatly affect the shot.
The speed of motion is the rates of the shots and projection. The rates are measured by frames per second. Filmmakers rate between 8 and 64 frames per second. One perfect example that we watched in class that exemplifies speed of motion would be when the editor sped up the video of the break dancer. The editor used the speed of motion to speed up and slow down the dancer's dance moves.

Cinematography is defined as writing in movement or light. The three important elements of shooting a film are the photographic aspect, framing and duration. This is the portion of film making in which the camera is being operated. It is the filmmaker’s choice to decide which range of tonalities to influence the amount of light that passes through the lens. The amount that passes through is called the exposure. Different exposure mounts can affect the shot. The speed of a film refers to the frames per second. The average amount of frames per seconds is 24. Going over or under 24 frames per second determines the speed in which the film is seen. There are a variety of camera movements and shots. Movements include tilt, dolly, pan, and truck. Different camera shots include extreme long shot, long shot, medium long shot, long shot, medium close up, close up and extreme close up. These different shot and angels can determine the mood or direct the audience’s attention to something particular.

DeleteThe choices that the filmmaker has in relation to shooting the scene are very important when it comes to the construction of a film. angles, lighting, speed of motion and perspective play a major role in how well a scene impacts the viewer. Slowing an action down can make it seem more dramatic, while speeding it up can make it seem more sporadic. A close up on someones face can make the scene seem more intense and personal, while a long shot can make it seem more distant and disconnected. Like i said before, the lighting of a film is key as well because it can change the focus of a scene. A set where everything is lit and full of light will seem more open and busy, while a scene with lowkey lighting or spotlight lighting will seem more closed in and intimate.

ReplyDeleteCinematographic is defined as the art of making motion pictures. When making a movie the director has many ways he/she can deliver their creation. It can be in black and white or overly saturated colors. It can be seen in different sequences in order to give the audience a different point of view. For instance in Babel some of the scenes were shown out of order this was to make the audience think and try to guess the outcome. A director also controls the screen space ,transitions, editing, and speed.
ReplyDeleteIn the movie Legend of 1900 when they were playing the piano to see who was the best, the speed would often slow down to focus on the piano keys. At one point it while 1900 was playing the there were overlapping images that were shot from above him making it look like there was more than one person playing. There were also moments when the motion would slow down to focus in on the lit cigarette.
Cinematographers shot is what is seen in a shot or frame. The way a shot is positioned plays a part in further conveying what the director wants the audience to obtain from the plot. An example of this would be in the color purple the director uses a reverse shot this shot was used to see the perspective of both characters and it helped us as viewers understand the conversation between Celie and Mister better, as she held a knife against his throat you see he has to look up to her showing that she is now in control of herself and the situation she was once forced to be in.

For example directors use different shots such as establishing, long, medium, and close ups to engage the viewer.

ReplyDeleteCinematography is the art of composing light and movement, giving decisions that filmmakers make carefully for the perfect choice. By controlling the mis-en-scene the filmmaker is able to fill the image with material. The choices include range of tonalities, speed of motion, a variety of perspectives created by special effects. depth of field and length of the lens. For example, in the movie "The Legend of 1900" when the famous ragtime piano player Jelly Roll Morton, is seen competing with 1900, the filmmaker uses the speed of motion to show how fast he was really playing the piano. In the same scene when 1900 played the same song as Jelly they showed him sweating really hard and multiple shots of his hands playing the piano really fast using superimposition. The special effect the filmmaker used to show 1900, the better piano player, was him putting the cigarette he doesn't smoke, to the piano and lighting it because he's "on fire".
ReplyDeleteCinematography plays an essential role, filmmakers have the decision of setting the mis-en-scene depending on what angles and lighting the director chooses. The director has options of speed of motion, variety of depth of field and length of lens, effects, and range of tonalities. In the movie Do the Right Thing the director chose to do close-ups on the characters when they said racial slurs about each other. This was to help to make the viewer feel uncomfortable just as you would feel uncomfortable if someone was that close to your face saying hurtful things about your race. These close-up headshots also give a dramatic over the top feel while watching these scenes. The director of the film has the power to convey these emotions just by determining which angle to use.
ReplyDeleteCinematography is the art of visual storytelling. The Rule of Thirds is a technique of dividing the frame up into a 3x3 grid, splitting your frame into nine boxes. Positioning your action in any of the four vertices where those nine boxes meet, you create a balance in your composition that feels more natural. Varying your shots will keep your audience interested by giving them something new to look at or an object presented in a new way. Long Shot: The distance of the camera from its subject also reflects an emotional distance; the audience doesn’t get as emotionally involved in what’s going on as they would if they were closer. Medium Shot: the medium shot is where we are starting to engage with the characters on a personal level. It is an approximation of how close someone would be when having a casual conversation. Close Up: More intimate than the medium shot, the expressions and emotions of an actor are more visible and affecting and is meant to engage the character in a direct and personal manner. Extreme Close Up: for amplifying emotional intensity, the extreme close-up puts the camera right in the actor’s face. Dutch angle: Tilting the camera gives a subtle cue that something about the scene is unstable. The effect shows the unbalanced mental or emotional state of the character, or to make the scene feel somehow unsettling. Each shot is meant to draw the viewer deeper into the scene by narrowing their focus.
ReplyDeleteCinematography is the art of making pictures. Movies use different shots to convert and capture different movies and different events in a different light. They can use a speed a motion shot, they can use different focal lens, also they use close ups and long shots to determine scenes as well. Directors pan up sometimes to show something in a dominant power or to show how great this particular character is or pan down to show how small something can be. An example of this would be in war of the worlds Spielberg would pan up to show the tripods to show how powerful these beings were. He also had a lot of close ups on the actors to show the fear they portrayed in their eyes. He also use different lighting techniques to make a room or space seem darker and make only a little light come out. He use a lot of low key lighting to signify the dark feel of the room when they were trying to hide form the aliens. Directors really paint a picture in our head on the screen in these different angles to really make a movie come to life
ReplyDeleteCinematography is known to be the art of making motion pictures.
ReplyDeleteIt is the visual communication through different types of shot angles. Not only shot angles communicate with audience but sound track as well. The lighting use is important because it can helps identify the tone of the set or scene. All three gives the audience a feeling of already knowing what is going to happen or in suspension. There do not have to be any script or subtitle shown to create a scene, but rather let the lighting, sound tract, and camera shots do the visual talking. The director must know how to make all three components come together to create a scene with some type of feel or emotion between the film and audience.
Cinematography is the art of making pictures. When shooting a scene the director can chose the photographic aspects, the camera angles, framing and the speed of the film. The filmmaker can control the range of tonalities by manipulating the film stock and the amount of exposure. The filmmaker can choose between 8 and 64 frames per second. By choosing the amount of frames per second the filmmaker can control the speed of the film. More frames per second will cause the action in the film to move in slow motion and less frames per second will speed up the action in the film. The filmmaker can also control the perspective of the film through the lens. Using lens with a short focal length will widen the angle of the film while lens with middle focal length will cause the film to appear normal.
ReplyDeleteThe director has various choices when it comes to shooting a scene. The choice the director makes all depends on how he/she visions the scene and how they want it to look. Different camera angles can be utilized to portray emotions or the depth of the shot. Also different speed motions can be used to speed a scene up or slow it down depending whats going on in that particular scene. Lighting plays a major factor as well, It gives the scene its mood.

These cinematography approaches are used a various ways to make scenes and action more natural. For example, in my film analysis of "Boyz In The Hood", director John Singleton used a variety of medium shots, close-ups, and point-of-view shots to narrate the conversation of Doughboy and his crew friends while they were playing spades with each other.
ReplyDeleteCinematography deals with "the shot" which may include the photographic image, the range of totalities, contrast, color contrast exposure, perspective,lens,framing, and the camera movement.
ReplyDeleteCinematography is writing in movement and has three different qualities of the shot, photographic aspect, framing, and duration.
the range of totalities make include black and white range of colors, but it depends on the filmmaker that controlling the visual qualities by manipulating film stock, exposure and developing procedures.
Contrast is another aspect, high contrast images can display bright white lights, stark black areas, and narrow range of grays in between. Low contrast is another quality, and low contrast images possesses a wide range of grays with no true white or black areas. Also fast film stock will produce a contrast look, while a slower, less sensitive one, will be low in contrast.
Another quality is the color contrast certain procedures may add color to the footage original shot in black and white, for example tinting and toning. Tinting cast a uniform hue of any chosen color over the image with blacks remaining. Toning is the opposite, toning reproduces the image grey scale in the desired color.
Exposure is another thing the the film maker has creative control over. The filmmaker can regulate how much light passes through the camera lens, through images shot at the correct exposure. The film Nori sometimes underexposed in keeping with low key lighting. Exposure is affected by filters, slices of glass or gelatin by being put in front of the camera or printing to reduce frequencies of light reaching the film. Using blue filters in sunlight will render a night scene giving day to night. Digital cinematography does not use film stock, imaged is captured on an electrically charged sensor and recorded to tape a hard drive.
Speed of motion deals with the rate of shooting and the rate of projection. The rate is calculated by frames per second. The standard in 1920 was 24 per second. Most film makers chose between 8 and 64 frames per second, which can project fast motion or slow motion. High speed cinematography deals with hundreds or thousands of frames per second.
Cinematography gives the camera man and the director and editor creative control over the way they conduct their film.
The film maker has many options to look through when devising the scheme of s movie. Certain elements like cinematagraphy, editing, music choice and also canera angles are some of yhe things they must weigh. Maybe most important is the cinematographer. It gives the man with the camera, dorector and editor many options to capture the main feelings to be invoked in the film.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting feature of cinematagraphy is the speed at which motion is captured. It is calculated using frames per second with shooters aiming for 8 to 64 seconds. It contributes to slow motion and fast moving scenes. One more yhing to keep in mind is the creativity available to directors using light. They control how much light is exposed to the lens contributing to low-key and high-key lighting effects.
The choices a filmmaker has when shooting a scene determines the feel of the film. Different camera angles like; eye level angle, low level, high, close up and point of view. The eye level angles are placed at the subjects height. So if the actor looks up or down the camera will catch it. A low angle is captured from below the person. this indicates that the actor has dominance and looks aggressive. A high angle is placed above the subject. This position makes the character look weak. Another camera placement is point of view (POV). Close ups are another camera angle. Close ups convey the detail and emotion to the viewer. They can change from an extreme close up shot or to the standard head and shoulder shot. The speed of motion is also a factor. The different types of motions are normal, fast and slow. Slow motion can be used for a romantic or suspenseful moment. A filmmaker would use a fast motion to speed up time or to exaggerate a certain scenario.
ReplyDeleteThe director is in control of the cinematography during the film-making process. Cinematography is the different shots and angles used by filmmakers that enhances the movie. Filmmakers can use shots such as long shots, mid shots, and close-ups. In most films camera angles and movements can really make or break a movie. The angle shots and the movement helps the film tell its story. In using the speed of motion, the person making the film has choices of what direction should the camera go in.
ReplyDeleteOne major key when filmmakers and writers produce movies, is they intentionally portray their film is through the choice of camera angles and shots. The viewers can only see what’s on the screen; this gives the filmmakers all the power to choose what gets seen and what doesn’t. The filmmaker choose which camera shots are used in what order, this allows viewers to understand the character’s emotions and also enables them to feel compassion or empathy for a specific character. Thus, what is particularly interesting about the cinema is that the absence or endless chain of underground signifiers which deconstruction considers to be “inherent” to representation is both more and less blatant here than it is in purely verbal signs” (Brunette) For an example, a close-up shot contains just one character’s face, so when there is a close up shot of Coach Boone’s facial expression in Remember The Titans when he is referred to with a racial slur the viewer will get a clear image of how he is truly feeling.

Film makers want to make their vision come true once they start to film. There are a lot of techniques that film makers can use to make their vision come true and this is created by using different elements in Cinematography. Three cinematographic qualities of a shot are:
ReplyDelete1. Photographic aspect
2.Framing
3.Duration
These all deal with the visual aspect of film. Other aspects of cinematography include exposure, camera movements, and the speed of motion. All of the qualities can create a mood and affect the audience in a specific way.
Cinematography is the art of making films through using movement. The three main cinematographic qualities include: Photographic aspect, duration, and framing. The director’s responsibility in creating a scene is based off of sole creativity and possibilities/options. They have complete control of selecting the range of tonalities, transforming perspectives, and playing with the speed of motion. The filmmaker is held accountable for determining how the audience will view scenes throughout the movie. For an example, if the director feels like a scene should be a slow motion black and white close shot they have all rights to creating the scene point of view as they envision it.

The way a film maker decides to shoot a scene sets the mood for the scene. When it comes to tonalities, the music in that particular scene may effect your overall mood. If sad music is playing in the background it jerks the audience sympathetic emotions. The film maker also has to decide the speed of motion of the film. This is determined by many factors such as camera dollys, camera angles, and what camera will be used to shoot the scene. Perspective shows the audience the point of view of the actors so they can get a sense of whats going on in the film. Camera angles allows the director to make the audience focus on the point they are trying to get across.
ReplyDeleteCinematography is a very diverse form of poetry put into movement. The executive takes words from paper and paints a visual picture in real life. There are distinctive points of shots an executive shoots to give the film an awesome inclination for the gathering of people. Giving the gathering of people a point of view as they were a piece of the film. The visual characteristics of cinematography shot are stark dark, grays, white, surfaces. The chief can controlled these cases by film stock, creating, and introduction. Film stock is characterized from the compound component. Contingent upon the age of the picture caught, will the decided how much differentiation will be utilized. Complexities is just the distinction between the darkest and lightest regions of the shot. In a film called Casablanca, the chief consolidated a mix of blacks, grays and whites to adjust the shots.
ReplyDeleteIn cinematography, the filmmaker, through the usage of camera angles and various speeds of motion, creates a visual perception that is a representation of his/her imagination. We, as the audience, are invited to explore into the creative depths of one’s own interpretation of reality through the direct emphasis of how they convey the message. When watching a film, the audience has the choice to either be captured in the suspension of disbelief where logic, reason and sense of realism is temporarily indisposed for the duration of the film or analyze the film’s theatrics and composition as a whole and allow your knowledge of cinema and film to transcend beyond your mental facilities thereby adapting more of an ideal sense of the filmmaker’s style, techniques and methods.
ReplyDeleteSince cinematography is art through motion, the filmmaker is the main architect on what all is able to be projected, seen and accepted by the masses. He/she holds a crucial role in film development as well as the construction of new ideas, new themes, new philosophies that may or may not lead us closer to understanding the physical world, the metaphysical, the unexplainable, the infinitesimally disproportionate.
-Jaylon O'Neal
They say the term "shot" comes from the early days of film production when cameras were hand-cranked, and operated similarly to the hand-cranked machine guns of the time. That is, a cameraman would "shoot" film the way someone would "shoot" bullets from a machine gun.
ReplyDeleteCamera shots are used to demonstrate different aspects of setting, themes and characters. Camera angles are used to position the viewer so that they can understand the relationships between the characters. These are very important for shaping meaning in film as well as in other visual texts.
In filmmaking and video production, a shot is also just a series of frames, that runs for an uninterrupted period of time. Film shots are an essential aspect of a movie where angles, transitions and cuts are used to further express emotion, ideas and movement.
Cinematography is usually a collaboration between the director and the director of photography (DP). The director controlling every aspect of a scene, from the location to the actors. The DP however is in control of the "shot". When the director and DP are on one accord their relationship can come together and make a great scene. There have been instances where a single shot has won a film an academy award. The shot is extremely important to a film. Each shot is filled with tons of information that the audience must take in and process. It is up to the director and DP to create a shot and scene that is easy to understand. If done incorrectly or bad the audience will miss important information in the film and will be left confused.
ReplyDeleteThe main definition of Cinematography deals with "the shot" which includes the photographic image, the range of totalities, contrast, color contrast exposure, perspective,lens,framing, and the camera movement. An interesting feature of cinematagraphy is the speed at which motion is captured. The normal shot is shoot at 24 frames.It is calculated using frames per second with shooters aiming for 8 to 64 seconds. It contributes to slow motion and fast moving scenes.There are also cool camera movements you can use like: pan, tilt, tracking/dolly, and crane. Directors choose pan and tilt to make objects appear more solid and three dimensional and realistic. A key example in class would be in the movie 1900, when the different shots showed how the main protagonist 1900 would play piano and would make the audience feel like they on piano itself.
ReplyDeleteThe film maker controls the cinematographic qualities of the shot. These shots include three factors: The photographic aspects of the shot, the framing of the shot, and the duration of the shot. In cinematography, tonalities is how light registers on film. The filmmaker usually controls the tonality by controlling how much light comes through the camera lens. Speed of motion is the rate film is shot in and the rate of projection can affect this. The filmmaker can over crank or under crank to change the speed on a camera or change the speed in the post production phase of the movie. Viewpoint demonstrates the group of viewers the perspective of the on-screen characters so they can get a feeling of whats going ahead in the film. Camera edges enables the chief to make the group of viewers concentrate on the direct they are attempting toward get over.
ReplyDeleteWhen shooting a scene there are many choices for the filmmaker to make. The filmmaker can choose from a range of tonalities, manipulate the speed of motion and transform perspective. With the range of tonalities, the filmmaker may control these visual qualities by manipulating film stock, exposure and developing procedures. Types of film stock are differentiated by the chemical qualities of the emulsion. An image may have more or less contrast depending on the stock. Development procedures may increase and decrease contrast. The filmmaker determines the speed of motion for a scene to have what fits the action presented best. Rates are measured by frames per second. In 1920 the standard rate was calculated at 24 frames per second, but in today's filmmaking it's between 8 and 64 frames per second. The more frames per second the slower the screen action will appear. The lens gathers light from the scene and transmits that light onto the flat surface of the film to form an image. Lenses affect perspective. A wide angle lens may exaggerate depth; a telephoto could reduce depth.
ReplyDeleteCinematography is poetry put into motion. The director takes words from paper and paints a visual picture in action. There are diffent angles of shots a director shoots to give the film a great mood for the audience. Giving the audience a perspective as they were a part of the film themeselves. The visual qualities of cinematorgraphy shot are stark black, grays, white, textures. The director can manipulated these examples by film stock, developing, and exposure. Film stock is defined from the chemical element. Depending on the age of the image captured, will the detemined how much contrast will be used. Contrasts is simply the difference between the darkest and lightest areas of the shot. In a film called Casablanca, the director incorporated a combination of blacks, grays and whites to balance the shots.
ReplyDeleteThe range of tonalities is effected by how much light passes through the camera lens, which is called exposure. To much of light can affect the shot, just as too little. Filters are the devices used to help regulate exposure. Sheets of glass or gelatin are placed in front of the lens to decrease certain regularities. Another important aspect of Cinematography is the speed of motion. Which is a relation ship between the rates of the shot and projection. Rates are measured by frames per second. In the past the standard rate calculated at 24 frames per second, but in today's filmaking it's between 8 and 64 frames per second
Cinematography is the art of visual storytelling. It controls what a viewer sees or does not see and how the image is presented. The qualities of cinematography include the photographic aspect, framing and duration. Framing refers to the perimeter of a the film's image during a shot. For an example when seeing actors in a doorway, the doorway serves as a frame. Also when there is a shot in a car and we are seeing the driver drive, the window shield serves as a frame. When speaking of a duration this deals with how long the shot is.
ReplyDeleteThe range of tonalities in film relates to cinematography because it focuses on the colors presented in a film. Tonalities range from high to low. High displays bright white lights and a narrow range of grays and low displays a wide range of grays with no true white or black areas. With the use of colors there is color contrast. Tinting is when a hue is casted over an image with remaining black and white areas picking up color. Toning reproduces in the desired gray color scale. Exposure relates to the amount of light that passes through the camera lens. This could either be over exposed or under exposed. Speed of motion handles the rate of shooting and projection. The more frames per second equals slower screen action.
Perspectives that directors include are point of view shots. This is evident when a clips shows a character looking at something and then shows what the character is looking at. This allows viewers to be able to understand what the characters see especially if they are the only ones to see it and not the other characters. Camera angles directors use are large depth of field where everything is able to be seen, and establishing shot where viewers can see where the story takes place, close ups, low, high and straight on. The different shots are used by directors to provide different angles to viewers. This makes a film more interesting and allows them to see every aspect of a story.
Cinematography is poetry put into movement. The director takes words from paper and paints a visual picture in real life. There are diffent edges of shots a director shoots to give the film an extraordinary state of mind for the gathering of people. Giving the gathering of people a point of view as they were a piece of the film themeselves. The visual characteristics of cinematorgraphy shot are stark dark, grays, white, surfaces. The director can control these cases by film stock, creating, and introduction. Film stock is characterized from the substance component. Contingent upon the age of the picture caught, will the detemined how much complexity will be utilized. Complexities is essentially the contrast between the darkest and lightest regions of the shot. In a film called Casablanca, the executive fused a mix of blacks, grays and whites to adjust the shots.
ReplyDeleteThe scope of tonalities is affected by how much light goes through the camera focal point, which is called presentation. To a lot of light can influence the shot, similarly as too little. Channels are the gadgets used to help manage presentation. Sheets of glass or gelatin are put before the focal point to diminish certain regularities. Another critical part of Cinematography is the speed of movement. Which is a connection send between the rates of the shot and projection. Rates are measured by casings every second. In the past the standard rate computed at 24 outlines for every second, except in today's filmaking it's in the vicinity of 8 and 64 outlines for each second.

ReplyDeleteWhen shooting the cinematographic shot multiple cameras are usually used to establish each scene. Cinematography means "movement, motion" and is the use of motion-picture photography to record things such as movies. When shooting a scene the director then has the ability to give the audience different points of view using depth of field, filters, various lenses, lighting, camera movement and other techniques to tell a story. In the movie Get Out extreme close ups were used to express emotion without saying anything. The director wanted you to really take in the impressions on the characters faces to feel whatever emotion they were experiencing. Jordan Peele the director of the movie used these particular shots to make you see exactly what he wanted you to see.
ReplyDeleteThe cinematographic shot is the use of the camera to provide perspectives that help the shot to express the ideas that are being conveyed in the scene.The term literally means writing in movement.The filmmaker basically takes what was written in the script and puts the visual into effect by using imagination. Editing is a big part of cinematography film editors cut shots and scenes together to make the movie flow. Continuity makes sure that characters say the same words, wear the same clothes, and move in the same direction so the audience does not get confused.
ReplyDeleteA good cinematographer does more than merely light a scene. He studies the script and creates an elaborate lighting setup that provokes emotions and strengthens the plot. He communicates a character’s dream, hope, despair, or joy based on where camera and lights are placed. He draws patterns of shadows and lights that upset and stun the viewer.
ReplyDeleteCinematography ranks among one of the most complex and challenging areas of filmmaking. If it were an equation, the terms and variables would be numerous. Figuring out the precise effect intended for a shot can be time consuming and exhausting. To determine exposure, the camera alone imposes three variables: aperture, shutter speed, and film ISO.
In my film Glory Road he used very low lighting when expressing the different races of blacks and whites, to show the world how they viewed them in the public.
ReplyDeleteMuch like cultural studies, cinematography poses an important role in film. Cinematography is the art of motion-picture. Some aspects which best explain this include, lighting, speed of motion, and shots. Lighting for example deals with the select light fixtures which a director or producer chooses to use in their film. In the 1950s and 60s for example, black and white was an example of how movies were produced on screen. As the years went on, color became more in use mainly due to the advancement of technology. In today's society, filters are a big component of films and in photography. This all falls under cinematography and play huge roles in film today.

ReplyDeleteCinematography is the science or art of motion-picture photography by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as film stock. In filmmaking and video production, a shot is a series of frames, that runs for an uninterrupted period of time. Film shots are an essential aspect of a movie where angles, transitions and cuts are used to further express emotion, ideas and movement. The term "shot" can refer to two different parts of the filmmaking process:
In production, a shot is the moment that the camera starts rolling until the moment it stops.
& In film editing, a shot is the continuous footage or sequence between two edits or cuts.
When shooting the scene it’s important for the filmmaker to get and create different shots. Cinematography is the art of making motion pictures or creating patterns of light on the celluloid. The three qualities of cinematography include the photographic aspect, framing and duration. The filmmaker can select a range of tonalities, manipulate the speed of motion and transition perspective. Also Tonalities range from high to low. Framing refers to the perimeter of the film's image during a shot. For an example in the film Babel the framing in the scene where the American lady gets shot through the bus shows after the boy’s scene that shot her. They frame the shot to where you could see her bleeding but no one knew she was shot and where it came from. An image may have more or less contrast depending on the stock. Another important aspect in cinematography will be use of camera angles. Close up shots and over the shoulder shots are the two most important shots to me in a film because it gets you closer to the character and get into the film more. In the film Babel when the Mexican family was running on the run from the border police they shot the scene inside the car as a close up to make you feel the realness of illegal immigrants running from police every day to make it to a better country.
ReplyDeleteCinematography is considered “the art or science of motion-picture photography.” In cinematography the cinematographer job is to be responsible for all the visual elements of the film. He or she makes every creative choice related to composition, lighting, and camera motion or anything that audiences can see in a given shot.
ReplyDeleteTonalities are are how light registers on film. They can range from high to low. Things like filters and lighting effect this.The speed of motion is the rate film is shot in and rate of projection.These different aspects can help bring a movie to life and keep the viewers entertained. In Fruitvale Station the majority of the film is shot it low light to capture the grittiness of the urban setting.
In many movies camera points and developments can truly make a motion picture. It can convey a great deal of life to the motion picture and some can influence you to feel like you are truly there. For instance, in the motion picture "Psycho" they utilized great camera points that made it sensational and somewhat authentic. They utilized certain edges and lights that made a shadow when the person came in and you could see him dressed as a lady with a blade from the female in the shower Point of View (POV) shot. Also, as the person was cutting the female in the shower they utilized movement shots backpedaling and forward from the psycho's POV to the lady's POV shot making the shot look more like a spine chiller. At that point they utilized a decent edge demonstrating the blood going down the deplete demonstrating that she was slaughtered. At the point when a producer is influencing a motion picture they to need to know certain edges or visuals they need that will influence the gathering of people to connect with into the motion picture.
ReplyDeleteWhen shooting a scene there are many choices for a filmmaker. For each scene in the film, the filmmaker must choose what type of shot to use, close up, long shot, medium. They must choose whether the shot will be from a characters point of view or maybe the audience’s point of view. Things like filters and lighting effect this.The speed of motion is the rate film is shot in and rate of projection.These different aspects can help bring a movie to life and keep the viewers entertained.
ReplyDeleteCinematography is the art of making films through using movement.The three main cinematographic qualities include: Photographic aspect, duration, and framing. The director can choose to include camera angles, speed of motion and perspective to their scene. The speed of motion gives off a realistic view of action while the perspective characteristics is the main point that the audience sees. Also, the angles on the camera are the point of view for the audience.
ReplyDeleteThe filmmaker is held accountable for determining how the audience will view scenes throughout the movie. For an example, if the director feels like a scene should be shown in speed of motion, black and white long shot, they can do that.
When it comes to shooting a scene the film maker have a variety of choices.The filmmaker can select a range of tonalities, manipulate the speed of motion and transform perspective. Black and white or a range of colors can be chosen for tonalities.The filmmaker may control these visual qualities by manipulating film stock, exposure and developing procedures.Types of film stock are differentiated by the chemical qualities of the emulsion.An image may have more or less contrast depending on the stock.Contrast refers to the degree of difference between the darkest and lightest area of the frame.
ReplyDeleteWhen choosing a speed of motion the film maker can choose between 8 and 64 frames per second.Fast motion and slow motion effect.The more frames per second the slower the screen action will appear.
For perspective the film maker can a wide angle Len to exaggerate depth.Focal length, to affect the depth of field ( which is the range of distance before the lens within which objects can be photographed in sharp focus).Selective focus,choosing to focus on only one plane while the other planes blur.
The film maker can use different movements such as panning, tilting, craning, hand held, steady cam and etc.
Many don't know that cinematography is creating patterns of light on the celluloid. When it comes to shooting a scene there are three qualities that one must consider. Photographic aspect starts framing and go to the duration of the shot. The filmmaker can select a range of tonalities, manipulate the speed of motion and transform perspective. Camera angels play a big part in the movie they show a different point of view for the viewer to observe.
ReplyDeleteTonalities are characters of a piece of music that will be determined by the key in which it is played or the relations between the notes of a scale or key.
Cinematography is the art of making pictures. The director can choose the photographic aspects when shooting a scene, the camera angles, framing and the speed of the film. The filmmaker can control the range of tonalities by making the film stock and the amount of exposure by choosing between 8 and 64 frames per second.Choosing the amount of frames per second allows the filmmaker to control the speed of the film. More frames per second will cause the action in the film to move in slow motion and less frames per second will speed up the action in the film. The filmmaker can also control the perspective of the film through the lens. Using lens with a short focal length will widen the angle of the film while lens with middle focal length will cause the film to appear normal.
ReplyDeleteChoosing between what shot to use, where it will be shot from, and how they want the audience to perceive it, the filmmaker is given these options along with others. Using speed of motion as an example in the film City of God, the opening scene when Rocket and his friend were engaging in dialogue and he states "Lil Ze will have to catch me first", then ironically they come into contact with each other and the camera speed slows up to dramatize the scene, showing a view of Lil Ze and his gang chasing the chicken and the movement of the camera replaces Rocket as the chicken that they were after.
ReplyDeleteCinematography is the art of movie photography, including both the shooting and development of the film. The film maker brings their creative ideas from paper to film. They have to first decide the different camera tonalities, speed of motion, perspective, camera angles, etc. in order to keep the interest of the audience. The film maker also has the choice of adding connotative and denotative meanings throughout the movie. The average amount of frames per seconds is 24. Going over or under 24 frames per second determines the speed in which the film is seen. There are a variety of camera movements and shots. Movements include tilt, dolly, pan, and truck. Different camera shots include extreme long shot, long shot, medium long shot, long shot, medium close up, close up and extreme close up.
ReplyDeleteA filmmaker has a vast amount of choices to make when shooting a scene. They have o have an understanding of the photographic aspect, framing, and duration.
ReplyDeletePhotographic aspect is the range of tonalities, which is done by the manipulation of film stock, exposure, and developing procedures. They have a choice in contrast from high to low and tinting or toning.
Framing plays a big g=factor also. The filmmaker must keep in mind the six zones of off screen, the dimension/shape of the frame, as well as the angle and position of the shot of the frame.
Duration plays a factor when considering the speed of motion by the rate being shot at. Anywhere from 8-64 frames per second, and 24 being the normal speed.
Cinematography is the art of making film. Camera angles bring film to life, making the story more realistic for the audience. For instance, in the motion picture "Psycho" they used camera angles to make the woman’s death more believable. That made it more emotional and somewhat more real, considering the technology during that time was not as advanced. The film used different point of view shots to show the audience her death. At the end, the camera showed the blood going down the drain confirming that that she was dead.
ReplyDeleteThe term cinematography means writing in movement, and is basically that art that goes into film-making. When making a film, things like camera angles, the speed of the film, framing, perspective, and range of tonalities come into play. The range of tonalities include manipulating different types of film stock, tinting, toning, speed of motion, frames per second, etc. The perspective of the film is of course how we see the film. With perspective, things like focal length, depth of field, portraits, landscapes, selective focus, and racking focus. Framing defines image for the viewer and includes six zones of off screen space. The director has to take all of these things into consideration during the creation of scenes because every little detail counts in making sure the audience understands what point is being made.
ReplyDeleteCinematographic is defined as the art of making motion pictures. Some Cinematographic qualities of the shot that the filmmaker consider includes the Photographic aspect, Framing, and Duration. The filmmaker also consider the range of tonalities, and perspective. All play a major role in the Cinematographic shot. Speed of motion is another factor that has a major effect on the film. Frames taken at average speed are shot at 24 frames per second. . The camera angles are one of the most important pieces to a specific movie,TV show and etc. The camera angles are what you can generally feel for a film and its point of view in order to make the cinematographic shot successful.
ReplyDeleteCinematography is basically pictures in motion. Creating a film can be difficult if you dont know how to use the cinematographic shots to its ability. The duration, angle, and pattern of the shots all play a part in the meaning of the film. The film can be shot in different frames per second but only a smart director will know when to switch it up and for what scene. Usually directors have a pattern they like to follow that you can classify as their signature and this is how you master the art of motion pictures. Letting the audience see the story from your POV.
ReplyDeleteCinematography can be defined as writing in motion or can be summed up as anything shot while the camera is operating. There are numerous techniques in film used to make a cinematographic shot. Most filmmakers consider four major qualities when it comes to cinematographic shooting; camera shot, camera angle, camera movement and lighting. This includes but is not limited to long shot, closeup, high level angles, eye level angles, crane shots, and different types of lighting like back lighting and silhouette.
ReplyDeleteThese qualities were heavily present in Babel. During the Moroccan story line, there was use of an extreme long shot. This helps you as an audience member get a feel of the layout. This provides you the opportunity to establish the location and setting. An example of camera movement would be when the Asian girl took drugs and the camer began to sway as we were seeing through her eyes. This gave the audience confirmation that the drugs were setting in and having an effect on her.
The term cinematography means writing in movement, and is basically that art that goes into film-making. Like in my film get out there is a close up shot on Chris’s face when he is being hypnotized and is scared and in shock you can see the tears running down his face but the camera moves to Missy as well to see her straight face as she has no concern at all. The film can be shot at different frames per second as well. The film maker can film at angles to where it shows the audience the POV from the character

ReplyDeleteCinematography is the art of making motion pictures. Camera angles, lighting, and continuity give characters a personal touch that takes us on an emotional journey with them. Each element evokes a different emotion in the audience and as the filmmaker you want emotion evoked to be the one intended. Filmmakers can select the range of tonalities, manipulate the speed of motion, and transform perspective. Filters are the devices used to help regulate exposure. Sheets of glass or gelatin are placed in front of the lenses to decrease certain regularities. Perspective is affected by lens gathering light from scenes and transmitting them on a flat surface to form an image. The perspectives included are lens focal length, short focal length, and zoom lenses. The three important elements when shooting a shot is the photographic aspect, framing the shot, and the duration of the shot.

The qualities of cinematography are the photographic aspect framing and duration. Contrast is important in cinematography because it refers tot eh degree of difference between the darkest and lightest area of the frame. There are high contrast and low contrast images that can give a different emotion and perspectives for the audience. The speed of motion is also important in a filmmakers creating a film. the rate of shooting and projection is calculated by the frames per second. The standard is 24 frames per second. The more frames per second make the action in the shot appear slower. The lens on the camera and the angles that a filmmaker uses effects the audiences perspective. A wide angle exaggerated depth and a telephoto reduces the depth.
ReplyDeleteCinematography (writing in movement) depends to a large extent on photography (writing in light). Filmmaker can select the range of tonalities, manipulate the speed of motion, and transform perspective.
ReplyDeleteThe Range of Tonalities: The filmmaker may control all these visual qualities by manipulating the film stock, exposure, and developing procedures. Film Stocks are differentiated by the chemical qualities of the emulsion. The term contrast refers to the degree of difference between the darkest and lightest areas of the frame. High - Contrast image displays bright white highlights, stark black areas and a narrow range of grays in between. Low – Contrast image possesses a wide range of grays with no true white or black areas. By manipulating the film stock, lighting factors, and developing procedures, filmmakers can achieve enormous variety in the look of the film image.
Speed of motion is the rate of shooting and rate of projection. Rate is calculated by frames per second. The standard and set in 1920 was 24 per second. Filmmaker choice between 8 and 64 frames per second, with specialized cameras offering still wider range of choice. Films shot at anywhere from 16 to 20 frames per sec are speeded up when shown at 24 frames per sec. The more frames per sec. the slower the screen action will appear. Time – lapse cinematography permits us to see the sunset in seconds or a flower sprout, bud, and bloom in a minute.
Perspective is how you are looking at things through the eye or the lens of a camera. The lens gather light from the scene and transmit that light onto the flat surface of the film to form an image. Lens affect perspective. A wide range angle lens may exaggerate depth a telephoto could reduce depth. The lens focal length is the distance from the center of the lens to the point where light rays can verge to a point of focus on the film. A short focal length (wide angle) less than 35mm in focal length is considered a wide- angle lens. When a wide – angle lens is used for a medium shot or close – up, the distortion of the shape may become very evident. (Has the property of exaggerating depth. Because distance b/w foreground seem greater, the wide – angle lens also make figures moving to or from the camera seem to ground more rapidly). The middle – focal length (normal) lens is 35 to 55 mm. Horizontal and vertical lines are rendered as straight and perpendicular. Parallel lines should recede to distant vanishing points. Foreground and background should seem neither stretched apart (as with the wide – angle lens) not squashed together (as with the telephoto lens). A normal lens was used for 5.23; contrast the sense of distance among the figures. The long – focal – length (telephoto) lens ranges from around 75 to 250 mm or more. This lens affects subject movement and used in filming or television sports events.
The examples used for The shot: Cinematography was the movie Raising Arizona. The scene where Nicolas Cage was robbing the store for some pampers, the police chasing the women driving the car, the guy getting hit with the car, the dogs running, and the police chasing Nicolas Cage in the store. The camera moves and shoots different angles with different lens. (extreme long shot, long shot, medium long shot, medium shot, medium close up, close up, and extreme close up).

ReplyDeleteCinematography, in my eyes is visual literature, Cinematography is define as writing in movement. The film maker has lots options to look through when devising the scheme of a movie. Elements like cinematagraphy, editing,and also camera angles are some of the things that film makers weigh in on. In the movie Babel the Moroccan story with the two boys there was an extreme long shot used in the film a few times. The shot was used to establish setting.

ReplyDeleteThe filmmaker has multiple choices to choose from when shooting scenes that range from camera angles, speed of motion, Point of view, setting and the different zoom techniques. Other details such as color, contrast, and camera motion must be schematically used per scene to ensure real time motion. The type of shot is the first thing the filmmaker must take into mind when starting a scene such as close-up, long shot or medium shot. Nevertheless, when shooting scenes the filmmaker must also remember to have each shot catered towards the storyline and action throughout the film. This ensures the plot will be coordinated with what's seen on the screen so that it doesn't feel like the viewer is watching a film.
DeleteCamera angles and perspective are extremely important for a filmmaker to express their vision. A low angle shot can make a character appear powerful and dominant while a high angle shot can make a character appear weak or like a victim. POV shots are important because they put the audience in shoes of a character. There in nothing more immersive than seeing something the same way the character sees it. Tonalities help an artist tell a story or make a point without directly telling the audience whats happening. This allows a director to make a film without having to "hold the audiences hand". For example, a shot with high contrast could be connotative of good vs. evil, love vs. hate, etc. As far as speed of motion goes, slow motion shots express drama and are used to exaggerate dangerous or victorious moments. Fast cuts and increased speed can express confusion or tense situations.
ReplyDeleteCinematographic shots are ways directors can use their creative spark, The Legend of 1900 shows just that. Giuseppe Tornatore captures the story of a young boy later into a man with great musical talent who has never set a foot on land. The story is told by another character’s point of view of the main character. One of the best scenes of the movie was the piano scene when the ship was in the middle of rough waves. 1900 takes along one of the main characters on a piano ride. The scene was shot with many angles, it was obvious that there were several cameras used to shoot this scene. There were many wide-angle shots throughout the film as well. Audience’s got a view of the whole shot which told a story within itself
ReplyDeleteCinematography is the art of making a motion picture. A filmmaker can choose from the range of tonalities, the speed of motion, and transform perspective. They can also control visual qualities by manipulating film stock, exposure and developing procedures. The speed of motion is really important. The more frames per second the slower the screen action will be. Another important thing is the camera movement. The camera movement can change the whole feel of a scene.

Some of the choices filmakers have include tonalities, speed of motion, perspective, framing, camera positions and more.
ReplyDeleteTonality is when the film's images are manipulated by the filmmakers. Some examples are toning and tinting.
Speed of motion- when a shot is presented on screen that depends on the rate at which the film was shot and the rate of projection.Both rates are calculated in the frames per second. An example would be in Raising Arizona when he stole the diapers. As he was running the camera had to match his speed.
Perspective- when the eye gathers light reflected from the scene and creates an image of space and the things in it.The objects that are seen in the scene have some relation to one another.
Framing- the process of taking a photo or video. It is making sure that everything is included in the shot. It does not cut images off in any type of shot.
POV shot- it is seen if the audience was looking out of the eyes of the characters. It shows how the character sees the action in the film.
Directors uses tonalities, point of view , framing, camera positions, speed of motion, and other variables in order to bring a film to life. Tonality is defined as the manipulation of lighting, toning, and tinting. Point of view refers to the ability to make the audience feel as if they are in the film and sees what the character sees. An example of this is when the dog in the backyard sees Arizona's father and charges after him. Framing is being able to direct the audience's attention to a specific action and making sure nothing is left out of the picture. Camera positions and angles can vary depending on the importance of the frame. They can vary from close-ups, which provides the audience to see the emotion of the actors' faces, or an extreme wide shot, which allows you to see the whole setting. Speed of motion refers to the ability to keep up with the rate of speed as the character.
ReplyDeleteCamera shots and speed of motion is extremely vital in the film projection proccess. In order to propose a certain effect on a particular character , emotion , action , climax and or INT/ EXT the angles and selection of shot can make or break the success of that vision.Speed of motion is the rate of shooting and rate of projection. For a dramatic death , explosion , or concentrated event in a film , you would use a higher amount of frames to slow down the speed to give off the empathetic effect for the audience. Whereas using lower speed frames can provide the effect of anger , aggression ,chaos and or climax shots. Editing is a big factor in film because scenes can be portrayed any way that the producer has in mind with camera angles , close -ups , establishing shots and close ups . It improves the feel of a film as well as emphasizes points that the characters do not have to verbally say in script.
ReplyDeleteDirectors use camera positions, speed of motion, POV, tone, and other objectives to create a film. These various variables are used to demonstrate the different aspects of a film. Camera positions show different angles of characters and places in the film. Speed of motion is how fast the film is being shot, POV is the point of view and it makes the audience feel as though they are in the film. The tone is the way the characters voice and overall personality is presented. All of these play a major role in how the film is created.
ReplyDeleteCinematography is known as script in movement. Filmmakers focus on the film itself. Filmmakers have vast range different things that come into when creating a film know as tonalities, manipulation of the speed of motion, and transform perspective as well as camera angles and lighting. Helps project certain lights to specific scenes to be looked at by the audience in a different point of view.
ReplyDeleteMore important to me is the lighting and camera because the type of angle can tell how they want you what the character may be experiencing.
The lighting may give off a sense of emotion that they want you to feel and at that moment and time.
Cinematography is the art of making motion pictures. Its almost as if the set is the canvas, production the paintbrushes, and the actors as colors bringing the visual to life. There are numerous perspectives and views of cinematography, for example, the various angles and movement of the camera. There are also many different outlooks of the cinematographic shot such as the point of view shot, flash forward, or shots from high angles like planes or hot air balloons. Other elements may cause a drastic effect in the tone of a film could be tonalities, speed of motion, and lighting, etc. The change in color tone are created to give a certain mood or perception by adding or taking away from a scene. The filmmaker controls all these visual qualities to develop a successful motion picture.
ReplyDeleteIn the clip shown in class, the camera was positioned at a high angle shot to make it look as if the boss was this superior, intimidating figure making his employee feel beneath him. Towards the end of the clip the camera was more leveled, and the employee had an obvious boost of confidence leaving his boss to seem less threatening or not as important. The point of the cinematographic shot is to influence the audience to feel or see things the director is trying to convey. It is using visual indications to psychologically guide the viewers through the story of the film.
Basic types of camera shots are the common language essential for writers, directors, camera operators, and cinematographers to effectively communicate visual elements of a shot, particularly the size of a subject—often a person—within the frame. In film-making, production is the process where you capture the key visual and audio elements of your film on your camera. Depending on the scope of the film, it may be as simple as a one-hour shoot or as complex as months of traveling, shooting, and interviewing at multiple locations around the world.
ReplyDeleteCamera choice depends on many things such as budget, intended end product and way you to deliver the film to your target audiences. Film makers should record on the highest quality camera and format possible.
Many film makers use different camera angles to capture emotion and movement. In track in shots, the camera physically moves in on the subject going from a medium close up to a tighter close up. the movement is smooth, the background is blurred and is used to draw attention to a significant movement in a characters story. this is just one of many film angles/shots
Cinematography is the art making motion pictures, the filmmaker has may choices to decide from to make their movie come to life. They can use close-ups, long shots, medium shots, pan right pan left, crane shot and many other shots and different angles depending on the scene and how they want it to go. These shots and angles that the filmmaker decides are used to help you focus on the certain characters or things in the background such as context clues, that draws you in more. the filmmakers main purpose is that they want you to see what they saw when creating the film.
ReplyDeleteCinematography is the technique used for the motion picture photography. The director is usually in charge of the cinematography with the director of cinematographer. Cinematography consist of all on-screen visual elements, including lighting,framing,camera motion and angles, film selection and more. These shots set up the visual narrative. Cinematography is important to film making because it is the cinematographer 's responsibility to ensure everything supports the story.Speed of motion is how fast the film is being shot, POV is the point of view and it makes the audience feel as though they are in the film.Other choices that film making has are tonalities, speed of motion, perspective, framing, camera positions,etc. The more frames per second the slower the screen action will be.
ReplyDeleteThe art of visual storytelling is the meaning of cinematography. Apart from operating a camera the best way they know how and setting up the lighting for each scene, it involves controlling what the viewer sees and how the picture is presented to them. Choosing the right shooting techniques that best tell the story.Like the extreme long shot, the eye shot of the bird shows massive scale but from a far higher angle to the point where it starts showing abstract shapes and lines from streets, houses, and trees.It is also usually used for introductions and scene transitions as an establishing shot. The Over-the-shoulder shot shows the out of focus shoulder and head in the foreground while the focus is on another person, object, or background. In speed of motion tighter shots like a medium shot or close up would emphasize speed when shooting a moving object, particularly from the side. With most movies filmmakers add music or certain noises to alert the watcher what is about to happen in the scene. Like you know when something scary is going to happen when the music gets suspenseful, and the lights are dimmed. Also when the lights are dimmed it could be a romantic/love making scene but the viewer will be able to tell because of the music. For example when we were watching "Psycho" and the lady was getting stabbed in the shower, there was a sightly suspenseful noise as the person approaches the shower, and before she starts to scream.

The qualities of cinematography are the photographic aspect framing and duration. Contrast is important in cinematography because it refers tot eh degree of difference between the darkest and lightest area of the frame.In filmmaking and video production, a shot is also just a series of frames, that runs for an uninterrupted period of time. Film shots are an essential aspect of a movie where angles, transitions and cuts are used to further express emotion, ideas and movement.
ReplyDeleteThe filmmaker regulates the cinematographic assets of the shot- what is captured on film and how it is shot. The shot's variety of tonalities could be operated throughout movie contrast, and exposure. Speed of motion improves dramatic effects and the alteration of speed assist generates distinct effects that appeal to the eye. Perspective relations is the optical system of your eye, reflected light from the scene gives the eye a sense of scale, depth and spatial relation among parts of the scene. Lens are very significant to perspective; short, middle, long focal lengths and depth of field all give you vital components that forms visual perspectives that give life to the shot. Camera angles and framing are also very vital. Instances of this are straight-on, high-angle, low-angle, long shot, extreme long shot, medium shot, close up, and extreme close up. Everything stated are all fundamental factors that formed what the cinematographic shot and different ways the filmmaker can make the shot.
ReplyDeleteWhen shooting the scene there are an extreme amount of choices for a filmmaker. For each of the scenes the filmmaker can choose from many. Shots like close up, long shot, or medium shot. They must choose the correct shot that will help with the audience point of view, to give the feel of the film. For an example in the movie Queen and Slim, they had many parts where they would do close ups, so you can see the emotions in the character's face.
ReplyDeleteSpeed of motions is very unique in a film. It is when the director wants the viewer to focus mainly on something. Then it is put into slow motion. It shows emphasis on the skill of activity that is going on. The shots are more rapid when the scene is intensified when the scene becomes slowed down. Makes the audience have a more dramatic feel to it.
Cinematography is the art of using technique for motion picture photography. Any film maker knows that creating something they're going to have many options on choosing how they wan t to create their project. Many options as in lighting, camera angles, settings, special effects and more. These decisions can make or break a project because whatever is selected it has to catch the audiences attention and be creative as well. They have to think about a lot of stiff when recording. Cinematography is very important because its their job to make sure that everything fits in place, runs smoothly, and just looks good. POV is the audiences point of view and how they see the film, speed of motion is how fast the shot is being filmed at that time, some camera angles that might be used are over the shoulder shot, medium shot, and close up shot. All of these things are very important when it comes to film making because these components can make or break the movie.
ReplyDeleteCinematography is the technique used to capture movement in film and production. Within this many sub topics that are included into cinematography are capturing lighting, angles, and any addition visual elements needed to produce the film. Without cinematography elements of the storyline would not connect. Different examples of these would be low-angle, high angle, front, medium and POV. Different lighting are back, key, hard, soft, and fill.
ReplyDeleteIn terms of the Speed of Motion, the director has a choice of starting the scene slow as soon as an alarm goes off gives the viewer the impression that someone is just waking up and has low energy.The director may also choose to use an aerial shot of the setting to display the amount of distance.The Point of View shot will create more intensity in the scene because the viewer can imagine themselves in the characters shoes.
ReplyDeleteCinematography is the art of photography and visual storytelling in a motion picture or television show. Cinematography includes all on-screen visual elements, including lighting, framing, composition, camera motion, camera angles, film selection, lens choices, depth of field, zoom, focus, color, exposure, and filtration. Cinematography sets and supports the overall look and mood of a film’s visual narrative. Each element that appears on screen, the
ReplyDeletemise-en-scène of the film and other parts of the film can help to enhance the story a cinematographer is trying to tell.
A cinematographer, also known as a Director of Photography, is in charge of the camera and the lighting crew. They’re the person responsible for creating the look, color, lighting, and for framing of every single shot in a film. The Cinematographer chooses the visual style of the film, establishes the camera set-up, determines the lighting for every scene, explores the potential of every location, and elevates the director's vision.
In cinematography there is a concept called rule of thirds that is extremely crucial and vital when it comes to the film.
Rule of third applies to the process of composing visual images such as designs, films, paintings, and photographs. The guideline proposes that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally spaced horizontal lines and two equally spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections. This process can visually take a scene to the next level.
With Speed of Motion, the normal speed is 24 frames per second. The director has the choice to keep it that frame or they can speed it up or slow it down depending on what type of effect that the director maybe going for. Tonality is defined as the manipulation of lighting, toning, and tinting. Point of view refers to the ability to make the audience feel as if they are in the film and sees what the character sees. Some angles and shots a filmmaker may choose include high and low angles, medium, and point of view. As you can see the filmmaker has many choices when it comes to telling a story it just depends on the audience and the message that director may have and their vision.
Cinematography is all about “The Shot” the art of making pictures. Cinematography plays a vital role in the production of a film, stimulating its artistic value and proving to be a contribution to the different films. It is often taking for granted or missed.
ReplyDeleteCinematography is important in film because without it, it would be hard for stories to be told. Enhancing the storytelling of the film, the different use of camera positions and movement to ensure a drastic change. The shot helps convey a message to express what is being portrayed in the scene.
Visual aspects of the film are camera placements, lighting, composition, camera movement etc.. There are different methods that can be used to make the audience see certain aspects of the film, and how to gain attention to simple details. Three cinematography qualities are: duration, photographic aspect, and lastly framing. When deciding to make a film you should discuss which angle would fit best to relay a message in that scene.
Cinematography is the art of making motion pictures. There’s a lot that goes on in relation to shooting a scene for a film. They’re the person responsible for creating the look, color, lighting, and for framing of every single shot in a film. The film’s director and cinematographer work closely together, as the main job of a cinematographer is to ensure that their choices support the director’s overall vision for the film. Film is the preferred medium of old school film makers, but it’s usually too costly for a studio to authorize. Film carries several disadvantages, that dwarf the authenticity that the film maker is going for. Aside from the expense, film is impossible to reuse. The tonalities is affected by how much light passes through the camera lens, which is called exposure. Too much of light can affect the shot, just as too little. Filters are the devices used to help regulate exposure. Speed of motion is a very important thing. It is when a certain event in a movie that the director wants the viewer to strongly focuses on goes in slow motion. When it comes to camera angles, Low angle shots is where the camera points upwards from below, make people look bigger, more courageous and more important. Another one is high angle; it is shot from above usually make people or things look weaker and less powerful.

A filmmaker has many choices to chose from when it comes to shooting a scene. They can chose a range of tonalities, manipulate the speed of motion, and transform perspective. When it comes to the range of totalities, the filmmaker can select from black and white or a range of colors. They are able to control visual qualities by manipulating film stock, exposure, and developing procedures. The filmmaker can also chose the speed pf motion for a scene. They can chose their perspective when it comes to the lens, they can chose from focal length, short focal length, wide angle lens, or zoom lens to help create their visual goal for a scene. Along with this, filmmakers can use camera movements, such as pan, tilt, tracking, or crane to help the scene come together as well.
ReplyDeleteThe film maker can choose a wide range of tonalities, manipulate the speed of motion, and transform perspective. These aspects of shooting a scene makes the scene unique and helps magnify the message.Shooting a scene from eye level can create a relation between the character and the viewer. It makes the viewer more attentive and connected.
ReplyDeleteWhen using tonalities, the film maker can manipulate film stock, expose, and develop procedures. High contrast can give a scene bright white lights. Low contrast gives off a range or grays.
The film maker has the power to change the speed of motion using frames per second. The more frames per second the slower the action will appear. For time lapse low shooting speed is required.
Perspectives can be transformed by using different lenses. A wide angle lense exaggerates depth. I may be mistaken but the movie clip of the cowboy depicted this perfectly. There are also multiple film tools that could be used such as a camera dolly.
Cinematography is the art of making motion pictures. Film makers use different shots to capture different effects. For instance, the different ways they make these effects is by the speed of motion, focal lens, angles, and range of the shots. By doing these things in film making it makes the viewers focus on certain things in the scene. In class we watched a scene from the Godfather where Bonasera is asking for Justice from the Don Corleone "The Godfather". In this scene the film making use darker lighting to create and set the mood for the movie. Along with the different perspectives.
ReplyDeleteDarrell Emerson:
ReplyDeleteCinematography is a general term for all the manipulations of the film strip by the camera in the shooting face by the laboratory in the developing phase. It also means " writing in movement".
Filmmakers can select the range of tonalities, manipulate the speed of motion, and transform perspective. With tonalities, filmmakers have exposure and contrast, which include grays (in black-and-white filming) and hues (in color filming).
The normal speed in speed of motion is "24 frames per second." Before the filming rate was standardized at 24 frames per second, films were taken anywhere from 16 to 22 frames per second sode look jerky when screened at 24 frames per second.
With Perspective, in 35MM-guage cinematography, a lens less than 35mm in focal length is considered a wide-angle lens. It's called that because take me a relatively wide field of view. A common length for a medium lens, in 35mm and high-end digital cinematography is 50mm because the lens seeks to avoid noticeable perspective distortion.
