Описание: The world of cinematography has changed more in the last few years than it has since it has in 1929, when sound recording was introduced. New technology, new tools and new methods have revolutionized the art and craft of telling stories visually. While some aspects of visual language, lighting and color are eternal, shooting methods, workflow and cameras have changed radically. Even experienced film artists have a need to update and review new methods and equipment. These change affect not only the director of photography but also the director, the camera assistants, gaffers, and digital imaging technicians. Cinematography: Theory and Practice covers both the artistry and craftsmanship of cinematography and visual storytelling. Few art forms are as tied to their tools and technology as is cinematography. Take your mastery of these new tools, techniques, and roles to the next level with this cutting-edge roadmap from author and filmmaker Blain Brown. Whether you are a student of filmmaking, just breaking into the business, currently working in the industry and looking to move up to the next level, or an experienced professional who wants to update their knowledge of tools and techniques, this book provides both a basic introduction to these issues as well as more advanced and in-depth coverage of the subject.

Описание: Although cinematographers are vital to the filmmaking process, they don't always get the recognition they deserve. Directors of cinematography often are responsible for the look of a film and its lasting impression on the viewer, but their skills are not as readily appreciated as those of directors or screenwriters. David A. Ellis had the privilege of meeting with a number of accomplished cinematographers to discuss their art and craft. In Conversation with Cinematographers features interviews with 21 directors of photography--as well as two notable camera operators--most of whom still work in film and television today. In this volume, readers are taken behind the scenes of some of the most successful films and shows of the last several decades. Interviewed in this book are: - Sue Gibson (Hear My Song, The Forsyte Saga) - Gavin Finney (Colditz, Mr Selfridge, Wolf Hall) - Oliver Stapleton (The Cider House Rules, State and Main, The Proposal) - Phil Meheux (The Fourth Protocol, Casino Royale) - Brian Tufano (Trainspotting, Billy Elliot, The Evacuees) - Clive Tickner (Traffik, The Puppet Masters, Inspector Morse) - Stephen Goldblatt (The Prince of Tides, Angels in America, The Help) - Seamus McGarvey (High Fidelity, Atonement, The Hours) - Peter MacDonald (Excalibur, Hamburger Hill, Rambo 3) - Mike Southon (Gothic, Doctor Who: The Hider in the House) - Rob Hardy (Every Secret Thing, Testament of Youth, Ex Machina) - Harvey Harrison (101 Dalmatians, The Expendables, Sahara) - Mike Valentine (Shakespeare in Love, Skyfall, The Bourne Ultimatum) - Robin Browne (Gandhi, A Passage to India, Air America) - Adam Suschitzky (Life on Mars, The Whisperers) - Ken Westbury (Dr. Fischer of Geneva, The Singing Detective) - Simon Kossoff (Young Charlie Chaplin, Client 9, The Daisy Chain) - Chris Seager (Call the Midwife, Game of Thrones) - David Worley (Quantum of Solace, Thor: The Dark World, The Full Monty) - Trevor Coop (Amadeus, Ballykissangel, Chocolat) - Haris Zambarloukos (Mama Mia, Cinderella, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit) - Peter Hannan (The Gathering Storm, My House in Umbria, The Razor's Edge) - Roger Pratt (Shadowlands, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Batman) These cinematographers recount their experiences on sets and reveal what it was like to work with some of the most acclaimed directors of recent times, including Danny Boyle, Francis Ford Coppola, Clint Eastwood, Lasse Hallstrom, David Lynch and Steven Spielberg.

Описание: This book contains 55 of the 110 interviews from the feature-length documentary "Cinematographer Style." The lesson from these interviews is that there is no textbook for cinematography. Cinematography is an art, like painting, writing or composing.

Описание: This volume provides a history of the most consequential 35mm motion picture camera introduced in North America in the quarter century following the Second World War: the Arriflex 35. It traces the North American history of this camera from 1945 through 1972—when the first lightweight, self-blimped 35mm cameras became available.Chronicle of a Camera emphasizes theatrical film production, documenting the Arriflex’s increasingly important role in expanding the range of production choices, styles, and even content of American motion pictures in this period. The book’s exploration culminates most strikingly in examples found in feature films dating from the 1960s and early 1970s, including a number of films associated with what came to be known as the “Hollywood New Wave.” The author shows that the Arriflex prompted important innovation in three key areas: it greatly facilitated and encouraged location shooting; it gave cinematographers new options for intensifying visual style and content; and it stimulated low-budget and independent production. Films in which the Arriflex played an absolutely central role include Bullitt, The French Connection, and, most significantly, Easy Rider. Using an Arriflex for car-mounted shots, hand-held shots, and zoom-lens shots led to greater cinematic realism and personal expression.

Описание: With the shift from film to digital, a new view of the future of cinematography has emerged. Today’s successful cinematographer must be equal parts artist, technician, and business-person. The cinematographer needs to master the arts of lighting, composition, framing and other aesthetic considerations, as well as the technology of digital cameras, recorders, and workflows, and must know how to choose the right tools (within their budget) to get the job done. David Stump’s Digital Cinematography focusses primarily on the tools and technology of the trade, looking at how digital cameras work, the ramifications of choosing one camera versus another, and how those choices help creative cinematographers to tell a story. This book empowers you to both correctly choose the right camera and workflow for your project from today’s incredibly varied options, as well as understand the ins and outs of implementing those options. Stump sheds a light on the confusing advantages and disadvantages of shooting theatrical features using digital technology and what it can or can’t do. Topics covered include: * Detailed coverage of Arriflex, Blackmagic, Canon, Ikonoskop, Panasonic, Panavision, Phantom, Red, Silicon Imaging, Sony, and Weisscam digital motion picture cameras * Coverage of a wide variety of lenses, including Angenieux, Canon, Cooke, Fujinon, Hawk, Leica, Panavision, Red, Schneider, Sony, UniqOptics, Vantage, and Zeiss * Coverage of recorders, displays, and look management tools * Exposure theory tips — learn how to correctly expose digital cameras * Focusing tips — learn how to focus digital cameras correctly * Checklists to help design digital workflows * Practical tips on preparation — prepare for shooting a digital motion picture like a professional * Camera set-up and operation, color management, digital intermediates, 3D stereo cinematography, future trends, and much more If you aspire to be a successful cinematographer in this new digital age, or if you already are a working cinematographer in need of a resource to help you stay on top of your game, this is a must-read book.
