What makes good cinematography?
It is a visually pleasing image
>>23310211Would that mean every shot of tits is good cinematography?
reflecting on the theme of the scene in an interesting way
>>23310228nope
>>23310228It's pretty hard to not get a good shot of tits.
Did you seriously post a screenshot from Blade Runner?Mah nigga. For me, it's just whatever comes off as beautiful. Obviously Blade Runner has many of these shots

>>23310294Did you learn that shit in film school?
>>23310252ChristSo many 90s celebrities have horrible, horrible tits
When it aids the story.
>>23310264Also this shot.Ridley Scott turns rain, light, and steam/smoke into something beautiful.
>>23310334Don't forget to acknowledge the work of Jordan Cronenweth. That's some superb lighting right there.
how geometry intersects, the color palette, architecture, lighting, depth, spatial balance, etc.
>>23310313Or art school, or design school; hell, even music school. Maybe you should've gone to school like your parents wanted.
>>23310383What exactly does a cinematographer do? I mean, does he have more input that the director?
>>23310462No, director trumps cinematography, dop, lights, and all.
>>23310448Not sure if understands joke or not...
>>23310462depends on the director and the cinematographer
>>23310462That's up to the director's discretion. Some dictate everything a cinematographer should do, while some trust the cinematographer to compose the shots by him/herself.
>>23310462Basically, Cinematographer takes care of lighting, colour, shadows, contrast, etc. Director takes care of camera positioning and movement. They typically colaborate so the resulting image is in fact the brainchild of both.
>>23310399Brutalism should be brought back I tell you huat.
Who's that guy who does all the cinematography for the Coen bros? That guy is fucking brilliant.
>>23310462they decide what goes into the shot, how it is lit, maybe what lens and camera to use if they get to choose, but like anon said if the director wants something different they have to accommodate
>>23310462The director tells the cinematographer/director of photography what he wants in the image and the cinematographer produces it. The cinematographer can input suggestions but ultimately it's the directors choice. Cinematography is fucking hard work, it may not be their vision but they know exactly how to do what needs to be done.
>>23310508>>23310500Thank you.
>>23310462Should have seen that question coming. Incoming debate as to what a cinematographers job is.
>>23310462Sorta. Director says what he wants to do with a scene, and the DP works with his peeps to figure out the best way to shoot it. It's a collaborative process. Hell there's a decent amount of directors today who started out as cinematographers.
>>23310511No. Brutalism should remain in the dustpan.
>>23310511just wiki'ed brutalism and I agree. It seems quite cold and minimalistic. This sort of aesthetic would help convey specific moods quite well.Luckily im an aspiring cinematographer/director who also does compositing and 3d architecture (cs1.6 background), so ill see what i can do ;)
>>23310189composition + storytelling + mood
When I see a shot that looks like something I would take if I were a photographer or one that conveys a mood, that is what I consider to be cinematography.
>>23310462He directs the visual elements of the movie, like the lighting, composition, etc.
cinematography thread?
>>23310856
Excited as fuck for The Master
>>23310252those are mournful tits.
Le Malick time

OP, you need to watch Baraka, it's the quintessential of cinematography; Ron Fricke is the director/cinematographer.
>>23311018I get such a weird feeling when I see these screencaps from Bladerunner. Are there any other movies like it?
>>23310707You're a bro.I've always really liked that greenish, yellowish tinge Gattaca had. Made it feel old and new at the same time.
Cinematography thread.
Scenes that can evoke the emotions the director wants to evokeLike loneliness or dualism etc etc, then it becomes preferential, some like it to be textbook, some want it to be subtle.
Why do I see in the credits "director of photography"? Is it the same with cinematography?
>>23311025heres one without the text
>>23311068In my opinion, no.
>>23311062
Anyone like se7en's feel to it?That griminess...
>>23311121I love it. Sets the tone nicely.
>>23311121I love how that movie has not aged a day. 17 years old and it looks like it could have been released last friday.
>>23311068
>>23311117Watch it in 1080phttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-b895UdLzc
>>23311121
>>23311068Akira?
>>23310827>>23310854>>23310875>my face when the use of mirrors in that movieBlew my fuckin' mind.
>>23311121>dat killer's apartment>dem props>dat set
Depends on the context.
I mean we can all agree that cinematography boils down to setting the feel for the scenessad, griminess, etc etc. Great ones are the ones that really evoke strong emotionswhether you should be able to notice that or make it subtle, I can't really judge
Anyone have a higher res?
pls respond >>23311097
The fall, Jesse James....the list could go on
>>23311240Hi there anon :3
>>23311240DP = Cinematographer
tits and violence
>>23311240They're pretty much the same and it was implied in >>23310547. Also, it's right at the beginning.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinematographer
>>23311238
>>23311240This>>23311267>>23311237I agree on that, without many definitions that's about it.
DP = Cinematographer
DP=Double Penetration
>>23311303
>>23311303>le feel when those are my initials
>>23311303or Deep Penetration.
>>23311348i know that feel bro
>>23311348hey at least your initials arent DVDA
>>23311106Sorry about the text. They were the only high res shots I can find.
I did some work on Scott Pilgrim, it was cool to see Bill Pope in action.
>>23311180Duly noted.
>>23311516>>23311425
>>23311533Is it the text or do you just hate the movie?
>>23311550Nevermind
This whole scene was great.
>>23311562This movie had the most unimaginative and dull monsters.
Cinematography is the total specter of elements in the picture you see. This scene from Supernatural has some of the best cinematorgraphy i've ever seen. The colors, the street etc. It's simply the best i've seen ona TV series.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1EzU9sLQ6I
>>23311606>>23311579film names?
>>23311550>Jessica Chastain will never be your mommyUltimate bad feel
>>23311659Control
how did transformers not win an oscar for this cinematography?michael bay got robbed
>>23311659First one is Control. Second is Punch-Drunk Love.
making something visually expressiveexample: in munich, the dude's blood turns into an image of stars. shows the effect that murder has on the cosmos
>>23311112What is this movie?
>>23311773Heat.
>>23311738http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bkcPS3GHQY
People are so used to technique meaning nothing.
Aliens
>>23311773heat
This movie gave some really great Z-movie cinematography tips.
>>23311841Shitty movie looks like a tv show
>>23311854This.I find nothing beautiful or nice about that shot.
>>23311131whats that from again?
>>23311791Joy Division/New Order sing great songs about /tv/.
>>23311876Do you have any other songs similar to that New Order one you posted today?
>>23311871In context I find the shot to excellent.
>>23311872Appears to be an Atonement-tracking-shot.
>>23311237according to this criteria i would choose the french movie La Heine to be the most successful. really great, evocative photography. one of my all time favorites.
>>23311121I absolutely love the camerawork in Fincher's films. The process they all use is bleach bypass, which leaves a black and white image under the color image and increases the contrast (darks are darker/brights are brighter). Great example of the visuals fitting the content.
