  • • ASC Archival Photos
    ASC Archival Photos – All Captions Draft 8/31/2018 Affair in Trinidad - R. Hayworth (1952).jpg The film noir crime drama Affair in Trinidad (1952) — directed by Vincent Sherman and photographed by Joseph B. Walker, ASC — stars Rita Hayworth and Glenn Ford and was promoted as a re-teaming of the stars of the prior hit Gilda (1946). Considered a “comeback” effort following Hayworth’s difficult marriage to Prince Aly Khan, Trinidad was the star's first picture in four years and Columbia Pictures wanted one of their finest cinematographers to shoot it. Here, Walker (on right, wearing fedora) and his crew set a shot on Hayworth over Ford’s shoulder. Dick Tracy – W. Beatty (1990).jpg Directed by and starring Warren Beatty, Dick Tracy (1990) was a faithful ode to the timeless detective comic strip. To that end, Beatty and cinematographer Vittorio Storaro, ASC, AIC — seen here setting a shot during production — rendered the film almost entirely in reds, yellows and blues to replicate the look of the comic. Storaro earned an Oscar nomination for his efforts. The two filmmakers had previously collaborated on the period drama Reds and later on the political comedy Bullworth. Cries and Whispers - L. Ullman (1974).jpg Swedish cinematographer Sven Nykvist, ASC operates the camera while executing a dolly shot on actress Liv Ullman, capturing an iconic moment in Cries and Whispers (1974), directed by friend and frequent collaborator Ingmar Bergman. “Motion picture photography doesn't have to look absolutely realistic,” Nykvist told American Cinematographer. “It can be beautiful and realistic at the same time.

PUB DATE 29 Mar 68 NOTE 19p.; Paprr presented at a meeting of the Society of Cinematologists (New York, March 1968) EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC-$3.29 DESCRIPTORS Art Expression; Audiovisual Communication; Creative Activities; *Film Production; *Film Production Specialists; *Films; *Film Study; Visual Arts IDENTIFIERS *Cinematographers; Film History ABSTRACT The stress given to film directors and stars in current academic cinema studies unjustifiably ignores the artistic contributions of cinematographers..Frequently, cinematographers are responsible for much of the artistic expression and inventiveness in films. Although determination of the extent of the cinematographer's contribution is difficult, it is possible to assess the frequency with which cameramen are credited for their contributions to award-winning films. k'survey of 339 of the "best" feature films produced between 1930 and 1964 indicated that writers, directors, and editors were credited more frequently than cinematographers. It also indicated that a relatively small group of "top" cameramen were acknowledged as contributing to the "best" films of the period.. (CH) FILMED FROM BESTAVAILABLE CO U S DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH.
