So for now a these days i made a habit of watching a film and observing these essential points to improve my composition along with lighting, and color. All you need is to take a break, watch a movie and take out a snapshot of scene which has a some properties like the lighting, camera angle and such....after following this exercise for 3 movies it actually gave me a habit of being in the zone and observe not only films but also things around me. Following i am posting the studies of my exercise from the Movie: Prisoners (2013), Cinematographer: Roger Deakins. After
doing some secondary research i have put together these frames into
there following categories, i may not be 100% correct so any feedback
from your side will be helpful too.
And on a side note i would encourage you guys to do a paint-over from one of the frames from the movie scene which you feel that is worth doing.
I am hoping to see some Film Studies postings in the future. Thank you.
Hi, I think its good idea to be more conscious about what we see on movie frames. I don't have too much time for watching movies like that, but I'm going to change it. Do you have any specific list or pattern, what movies are worth to watch and analyze?
I would say study from the movie's that are more aesthetically pleasing and has a strong story-driven approach, not only modern but the old classic's are a great source to learn in this way one can adapt his/her own work.
