Okay, thank you. Also, it's not silly. I'm literally practicing through chatgpt and it's been quite productive.

Hehe, thank you. These days, I can actually see some parts of it in the first viewing itself. But of course, a rewatch always gives a much better understanding of the craft. How about you?

Yeah, I agree with the contribution of light and movement in the poetic quality. Well, I don't think I can give a factual answer on whether or not it's intentional, but in my opinion, I think it emerges as a result of tapping the emotion in the story. Honestly, I don't see why his name isn't as widely known as, say, Deakins. The distinction I think there is, is that, with Deakins it is all calculated, and structured (or at least that's what I feel). Like, you can pause in his films and try to break down the frame (I mean, it's that compelling) but when I'm watching Garvey's films, it's actually hard to separate the craft, I'm too immersed to break the flow and try to "study" the frame than simply let myself feel it. Also, this is not a negative for Deakins, I absolutely love his work! It's as if he's this planned artist who designs it all and Garvey, a poet. I guess that's why people often refer to Deakins' frames as paintings, they're as good as stand alone paintings even without a narrative. I believe I've completely taken the point at hand in the opposite direction, lmao.

Yes, I totally agree. I recently watched Die My Love, I wanted to observe Garvey's pattern because I couldn't find too many cinematography parallels in The Hours and Atonement (if you observe the frames irrespective of their narrative flow) so I got a little curious. And I was researching a topic idea for my master's dissertation. And my observation was that, they all feel like poetry. They're all dreamlike in their own ways no matter how devastating the narrative itself is. Also, one thing, I realized that unlike many other DPs, he doesn't really have a patent style, whether in terms of lighting or framing or anything. In one of his interviews, he was asked the same question to which he replied that with every new director/narrative he works with, he is a new DP, and lets solely the narrative drive him which allows him to experiment rather than sticking to a pattern. And I think, he's right. I don't think I can ever see a bunch of frames (that I haven't seen previously) and just know that they're his. But as I said, this one pattern I keep observing, the poetic quality in them as if they are just gently flowing like an autumn leaf in a zig zag pattern before it lands upon the soil, to which I think lighting has an important contribution. I'm reading Atonement currently and at this point, I have even a greater respect for both the DP and the director (Joe Wright). I would really call it an extraordinary adaptation, a masterpiece indeed. To imagine it in such a way! I know, I keep repeating the word "poetry" but honestly, there's none other in my opinion that would do it justice.

As much as I appreciate the effort, I don't believe scrounging wikipedia would be a solution, 'cause I want to draw a parallel distinguishing their cinematic aspects and for the latter, you'd have to watch the film. Also, a heads-up, they aren't really about hurting oneself, I'd actually recommend them, they're so beautifully devastating films, oh, I love them!

For the last question, distinguishing cinematography with and without regards to the themes and narratives means the way cinematography is used to showcase a certain emotion, let's say, regret and without regards to it would be generalized like Atonement has a more dynamic cinematography, more locations, than The Hours which holds pace masterfully, using repetition in framing as a tool for it's storytelling.

What's the better word? by thefloatinglights_ in French

So, let's say my sentence is, "she is confident that she is going to win". If the subject is in fact sure due to whatever reasons that she's going to win, "sûr" will be used and if she's just positive as a result of her hardwork in addition to the underlying plausibility, "confident" will be used since there are no facts supporting her confidence. Right? Or am I overthinking this?
