I have to learn a lot about the skill of storytelling through scenes in my role as cinematographer for this film. I've been studying several cinematography techniques and methods to achieve this, mostly using the materials on the No Film School YouTube channel.
These are some important conclusions I drew from my research:
1. Being Aware of the Basics:
- Composition: No Film School focuses on good composition. They provide top-notch lessons on leading lines, the Rule of Thirds, and other methods for producing intriguing and engaging scenes.
- Depth of Field: In order to separate topics, convey depth, and direct the viewer's attention, I've learnt how to play with depth of field properly.
- Camera Movement: The YouTube channel offers helpful advice on how to employ camera movement techniques like tracking, tilting, panning, and dolly shots to improve narrative and produce scenes that are exciting.
2. Lighting Techniques:
- Three-Point Lighting: The three-point lighting system (key light, fill light, and backlight) is a basic method for managing light and adding depth and complexity to a scene, and No Film School has great descriptions of it.
- Natural Light: I now know how to make the most of natural light, especially how important it is to comprehend the direction and type of lighting available at different times of the day.
- Using Lighting to Create Mood: The channel highlights how lighting can be utilized to create a variety of moods and atmospheres, including romance, horror, and suspense.
Renowned cinematographers often get interviewed by No Film School, offering insightful perspectives on their methods and creative processes. They also analyze classic movies, analyzing important cinematography elements and talking about how they develop the plot. My choices on camera angles, lighting, and composition will be influenced by this research, which will eventually allow me to produce appealing and powerful films that will engage the viewer.
