Each makes a substantial contribution to understanding the work of a cinematographer; and crucially, the role of cinematography as part of the collaborative practice of filmmaking. These essays discuss cinematography across a range of historical and theoretical contexts, including lighting for black and white within film noir, the use of Technicolor, and the contemporary use of digital technology in both production and post-production. This work is based on research that links specialist technical writing on lighting and filming techniques to academic film analysis, and in doing this illustrates how the subject of cinematography can be successfully incorporated and articulated within the domain of film studies. Teaching Materials To illustrate how the subject of cinematography was discussed and taught within an MA context, the teaching materials for this four-session topic are included at the end, after the essays. It should be noted that the teaching and learning strategy was research-based learning. There were no formal lectures, and students undertook independent research work developed from screenings, seminars and student-led presentations. It is very impressive that from this limited basis such individual, distinctive and knowledgeable essays were produced. Essay Texts and Images The essays presented in this collection appear in the form they were submitted for assessment. They have not been substantially re-written or edited. As such there may be some variations in referencing, and presentation. Also, since all photographic reproductions are in low resolution black and white they do not accurately reproduce the images as they appear in the actual films. In these circumstances it is useful to refer directly to the film in order to be able to follow the discussion of cinematography in the essay. 5 6 Jack Cardiff and Technicolor A Matter of Life and Death (1946), Black Narcissus (1947) and The Red Shoes (1948) RASHPAL SAINI Jack Cardiff’s pioneering cinematography introduced colour into British cinema. Having worked on the first British Technicolor production Wings of the Morning (Harold Schuster, 1937) as the first British colour cameraman, Cardiff’s name has become synonymous with Technicolor. Using the three-strip colour process Cardiff’s cinematography is so vibrant ‘that you can virtually taste [the colours]’.1 Nowhere is this more evident than in his first three feature films with Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. A Matter of Life and Death (AMOLAD 1946), Black Narcissus (1947) and The Red Shoes (1948) all represented a turning point in Powell and Pressburger’s post-war cinema in which Cardiff’s colour cinematography played a vital role: ‘I [Powell] was moving into new worlds of light and colour after the drab realism and Khaki of the war’.2 This shift from realism to fantasy cinema gave Cardiff endless opportunities to experiment with chiaroscuro and mixed coloured lighting styles to the point colour was being used more than just for decorative purposes. Cardiff offered a more conscious approach to controlling colour for narrative purposes, which, according to Powell, was lacking in his [Powell’s] earlier work with Technicolor cinematographer George Périnal in The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943) where there was no ‘planning for colour; it was just letting colour happen’.3 AMOLAD was Powell and Pressburger’s first real experiment with colour. The central role of Cardiff’s colour cinematography is evident by the fact the film’s production schedule was postponed for nearly nine months because Technicolor was not easily available during wartime rationing. As Powell puts it, the film ‘had to be in colour. In Technicolor’.4 AMOLAD is a story about two lovers, Peter Carter (David Niven) a British Squadron Leader and June (Kim Hunter) an American radio operator who by chance come into contact and fall in love over the radio as Peter descends from the sky in a crippled bomber plane during the last day of the Second World War. Having escaped death due to the mistake of heaven’s soul collector (Marius Goring) Peter is forced to justify his reason to carry on living on the basis that he now loves June. Central to the film is the correspondences between the forces of heaven and earth. One can see why Powell was insistent that the film must be presented in Technicolor because Pressburger’s script required frequent cross-referencing between coloured earth and black and white heaven vice versa. This occurs, for example, when an extreme close-up of Goring’s black and white rhododendron slowly turns pink as the camera zooms out to establish the conductor is now in earth. A self-reflexive reference to Cardiff’s work is made when the Conductor says ‘one is starved for Technicolor up there’. This is not only a humorous reference to wartime deficit in British Technicolor 1 Magic Hour: The Life of a Cameraman (London: Faber and Faber, 1996), p. ix. 2 MichaelMartin Scorsese, Powell, A ‘Foreword’ Life in Movies: in: Jack An Autobiography Cardiff, (London: Methuen, 1986), p. 501. 3 Ibid., p. 499. 4 Ibid., p. 500. 7 production (there were only eight British Technicolor films that were made during the war5) but the phrase also sets colour’s relationship to Peter; that is to say, he will not only lose his love if he submits to heaven but also the world of colour signified by the deliberate attention to the surrounding rhododendrons.6 Cardiff’s methods of shooting allowed the editor (Reginald Mills) to slowly fade into colour and black and white stock with extended dissolves. Though a switch between colour and black and white was not a new concept in cinema (Ian Christie recalls The Wizard of Oz (Victor Fleming, 1939) where there is a jump from black and white Kansas to Technicolor Oz7) the smoothness of the transition between the two had some novelty at the time: ‘Never has the reviewer seen such perfection of mechanics…. [The] dissolves from color to monotone, as well as from full sets to miniatures are so smooth that it is difficult to tell where one scene ends and the other begins’.8 Cardiff explains that the he shot ‘the black and white sequence with a black and white camera, but the penultimate one was done with a Technicolor camera, and that was printed in black and white’9, which allowed the editor to slowly bring out the Technicolor colours from there on. Cardiff’s method of presenting a slow transition from one world to the other (as oppose to a simple cut) is a key visual signifier of Peter’s intermediate position between both worlds, where he desires to be on earth yet there is a demand for his presence in heaven. Peter’s intermediate position in this world of colour is skilfully suggested during the following shot-reverse-shot sequence as the Conductor and Peter have their first conversation together in frozen time. Where as the rhododendrons in the background are depicted in sharp focus during the low angle shots of the Conductor, a switch to Peter shows a dramatic change in focus where the more distant roses are depicted in a shallow depth of field, blurring and diffusing the pink and green colours of the rhododendron bush to the point colour becomes almost intangible. Peter’s intermediate status on earth is in fact impinged on the character from the outset during the beach scene where he crash lands and miraculously survives. Cardiff’s cinematography turns what looks like an earthy location with strong natural sunlight into an uncanny vast space where the beach looks like earth, but it has enough suggestions to imply it could be heaven as well. As Peter slowly wakes up after being washed ashore there is a strong early morning orange frontal sunlight hitting Peter’s face.

    DOCUMENTARY FILMS Page 1 of 10 DOCUMENTARY FILMS Documentary Films, strictly speaking, are non-fictional, "slice of life" factual works of art - and sometimes known as cinema verite. For many years, as films became more narrative- based, documentaries branched out and took many forms since their early beginnings - some of which have been termed propagandistic or non-objective. Documentary films have comprised a very broad and diverse category of films. Examples of documentary forms include the following: z 'biographical' films about a living or dead person (Madonna, John Lennon, Muhammad Ali - When We Were Kings (1996), Robert Crumb, Stephen Hawking in A Brief History of Time (1992), or Glenn Gould) z a well-known event (Waco, Texas incident, the Holocaust, the Shackleton expedition to the Antarctic) z a concert or rock festival (Woodstock or Altamont rock concerts, Madonna: Truth or Dare (1991), Stop Making Sense (1984)) z a comedy show (Richard Pryor or Eddie Murphy shows) z a live performance (Cuban musicians as in Buena Vista Social Club (1998), or the stage show Cirque du Soleil-Journey of Man (2000)) z a sociological or ethnographic examination following the lives of individuals over a period of time (e.g., Michael Apted's series of films: 28 Up (1984), 35 Up (1992) and 42 Up (1999), or Steve James' Hoop Dreams (1994)) z an expose including interviews (e.g., Michael Moore's social concerns films) z a sports documentary (extreme sports, such as Extreme (1999) or To the Limit (1989), or surfing, such as in The Endless Summer (1966))

  • In Cinematography
    Sean O’Connor DSG 610 Prof. Hogencamp June 10, 2018 What is Cinematography? In Cinematography: Theory and Practice, Brown defines cinematography simply as the film director and director of photography (DP) collaborating on “the same basic task: storytelling with the camera”1. However, based on further readings in his book and others, as well as the documentary film Visions of Light, cinematography seems much more complicated than that short and simple statement. The medium seems essentially a balancing act, between the artistic and creative aspects of visual storytelling as well as the logistical elements of completing a day’s worth of shooting, getting the light just right, and coordinating several crewmembers operating cameras, lights, and other equipment. Therefore, the duties of a cinematographer range from the creative to the technical, and they are all essential. In terms of creative and artistic choices, Mercado attests that every item contained in the frame, from actors to props, matters: “Anything and everything that is included in the composition of a shot will be interpreted by an audience as being there for a specific purpose that is directly related and necessary to understand the story they are watching.”2 There is no place for arbitrary choices for the cinematographer: every aspect of the framing, lighting, and motion of a shot must have purpose, which that cinematographer must decide creatively based on the story and characters of the film. Because of this, cinematography contributes heavily to story by visually enforcing or affirming the emotions, conflict, and even structure of the story. “There has to be,” continues Mercado, “a direct connection between what takes place in the story and the use of a particular composition.”3 Regarding the notion of visual structure accompanying story structure, Block writes, “Progressions are fundamental to story or musical structure, and they’re fundamental to visual structure.

  • Bob Oei Thesis Final Final
    ABSTRACT The Cinematography of Closet Memories Robert Oei, M.A. Advisor: Christopher J. Hansen, M.F.A. The cinematography of a film heavily influences the audience’s mood and their perception of tension. The way a director of photography uses lights and the camera can enhance or destroy the moments of a film a director has built. Keeping this knowledge in mind, the cinematography of Closet Memories uses film noir lighting, a mixture of handheld and smooth camera work, and other techniques to maintain the emotional content of the film’s scenes.

    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.

  • Steinhart Runaway Hollywood Chapter3
    Chapter 3 Lumière, Camera, Azione! the personnel and practices of hollywood’s mode of international production as hollywood filmmakers gained more experience abroad over the years, they devised various production strategies that could be shared with one another. A case in point: in May 1961, Vincente Minnelli was preparing the production of Two Weeks in Another Town (1962), part of which he planned to shoot in Rome. Hollywood flmmaker Jean Negulesco communicated with Minnelli, ofering some advice on work- ing in Italy, where Negulesco had directed portions of Tree Coins in the Fountain (1954) and Boy on a Dolphin (1957) and at the time was producing his next flm, Jessica (1962): I would say that the most difcult and the most important condition of mak- ing a picture in Italy is to adapt yourself to their spirit, to their way of life, to their way of working. A small example: Tis happened to me on location. As I arrive on the set and everything is ready to be done at 9 o’clock—the people are having cofee. Now, your assistant also is having cofee—and if you are foolish enough to start to shout and saying you want to work, right away you’ll have an unhappy crew and not the cooperation needed for the picture. But if you have cofee with them, they will work for you with no time limit or no extra expense.1 Negulesco’s letter underscores a key lesson that Hollywood moviemakers learned overseas when confronted with diferent working hours, production practices, and cultural customs.
