  • Friendly Fire, It's Only Natural to Pranica Praise Its Director the Most
    Note: This show periodically replaces their ad breaks with new promotional clips. Because of this, both the transcription for the clips and the timestamps after them may be inaccurate at the time of viewing this transcript. 00:00:00 Music Music Tense string music. 00:00:01 Adam Host When we watch a great film on Friendly Fire, it's only natural to Pranica praise its director the most. It's easy to do, and every critic does it, from the film reviewers in the newspaper to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. But you and I, and those same directors, all know that it takes a video village to bring a film from the page to the screen to the stage accepting an award. Personally, I think it's the editors that get the shortest shrift in these cases. But the person who's often just as responsible as a director for how a film looks and feels is the cinematographer. Which is what makes the partnership between they and the director so crucial in filmmaking. If a director is lucky, they form a bond with one for most of their oeuvre. Paul Thomas Anderson and Robert Elswit. Spielberg and Janusz Kamiński. Christopher Nolan and Wally Pfister. And sometimes you'll get some cinematography polyamory. Oliver Stone, Quentin Tarantino, and Martin Scorsese share Robert Richardson. Of course a counterpoint to this film paper is that Kathryn Bigelow has worked with many different cinematographers over the years. Roger Deakins, on camera for Sam Mendes's 1917, is widely considered to be one of the greatest and most influential cinematographers in the history of film.

  • Elegies to Cinematography: the Digital Workflow, Digital Naturalism and Recent Best Cinematography Oscars Jamie Clarke Southampton Solent University
    CHAPTER SEVEN Elegies to Cinematography: The Digital Workflow, Digital Naturalism and Recent Best Cinematography Oscars Jamie Clarke Southampton Solent University Introduction In 2013, the magazine Blouinartinfo.com interviewed Christopher Doyle, the firebrand cinematographer renowned for his lusciously visualised collaborations with Wong Kar Wai. Asked about the recent award of the best cinematography Oscar to Claudio Miranda’s work on Life of Pi (2012), Doyle’s response indicates that the idea of collegiate collaboration within the cinematographic community might have been overstated. Here is Doyle: Okay. I’m trying to work out how to say this most politely … I’m sure he’s a wonderful guy … but since 97 per cent of the film is not under his control, what the fuck are you talking about cinematography ... I think it’s a fucking insult to cinematography … The award is given to the technicians … it’s not to the cinematographer … If it were me … How to cite this book chapter: Clarke, J. 2017. Elegies to Cinematography: The Digital Workflow, Digital Naturalism and Recent Best Cinematography Oscars. In: Graham, J. and Gandini, A. (eds.). Collaborative Production in the Creative Industries. Pp. 105–123. London: University of Westminster Press. DOI: https://doi.org/10.16997/book4.g. License: CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 106 Collaborative Production in the Creative Industries I wouldn’t even turn up. Because sorry, cinematography? Really? (Cited in Gaskin, 2013) Irrespective of the technicolor language, Doyle’s position appeals to a tradi- tional and romantic view of cinematography. This position views the look of film as conceived in the exclusive monogamy the cinematographer has histori- cally enjoyed on-set with the director during principal photography.

  • 101 Films for Filmmakers
    101 (OR SO) FILMS FOR FILMMAKERS The purpose of this list is not to create an exhaustive list of every important film ever made or filmmaker who ever lived. That task would be impossible. The purpose is to create a succinct list of films and filmmakers that have had a major impact on filmmaking. A second purpose is to help contextualize films and filmmakers within the various film movements with which they are associated. The list is organized chronologically, with important film movements (e.g. Italian Neorealism, The French New Wave) inserted at the appropriate time. AFI (American Film Institute) Top 100 films are in blue (green if they were on the original 1998 list but were removed for the 10th anniversary list). Guidelines: 1. The majority of filmmakers will be represented by a single film (or two), often their first or first significant one. This does not mean that they made no other worthy films; rather the films listed tend to be monumental films that helped define a genre or period. For example, Arthur Penn made numerous notable films, but his 1967 Bonnie and Clyde ushered in the New Hollywood and changed filmmaking for the next two decades (or more). 2. Some filmmakers do have multiple films listed, but this tends to be reserved for filmmakers who are truly masters of the craft (e.g. Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick) or filmmakers whose careers have had a long span (e.g. Luis Buñuel, 1928-1977). A few filmmakers who re-invented themselves later in their careers (e.g. David Cronenberg–his early body horror and later psychological dramas) will have multiple films listed, representing each period of their careers.
