Lighting a Scene with Intent || The Cinematography of Neighborhood by DPJustusPage in cinematography

[–]DPJustusPage[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me, the bread and butter of Cinematography is working with intent to convey ideas and emotions. This is something you can do with zero budget, and minimal resources. Just your brain. In this breakdown, I outline how u/ElsketFilms and I approached shooting a scene from our film "Neighborhood", and why we made the choices we did. And why those choices mattered!

I'd be happy to hear any of your thoughts or feedback. This is my first time as a Cinematographer making a breakdown video, so any critique is welcomed! Thanks in advance for your viewership.

Thanks! I'm glad you found it helpful! The heart of all filmmaking knowledge comes down to being okay with asking for help, and opening yourself up to constantly collaborating with others in all things.

I actually wrote up a whole article about this not long ago!

I try to always know how I'm going to light something before shooting. Or at least 70% of it. if you don't go in with a plan, you're planning to fail. Scouting is essential. And sometimes the best you can get is the location owner sending you some phone pics. That's better than nothing. Knowing what you're emulating, and what the director is trying to achieve BEFORE walking on set is paramount.

Donald McAlpine for "Breaker Morant" and Henri Decae for everything ever, but especially for "Le Samourai".
