1. TRAILER: Hey, mickey is not
all about blasts. Everything production. Yes, you can get your
hand on for life. He misread. Welcome to this course in cinematography
analysis and breakdown of Hollywood movie series. My name is Issachar, but with years of experience,
speaking of cinematography, there's more at play wherever you may want to
be in the industry or whatever area of
film-making you are into biliary as the female. Wet if you make a music
video, female travel, female documentary
filmmaker, product, add fi, makeup login filmmaker,
Spot filmmaker. Or as in the case of the
Hollywood narrative filmmaking, as a movie producer,
whatever it is, you do, notice that
every creative decision as a consequence
on the final okay. Whatever area of expertise you belonged in the
creative industry, whatever role you play, we'll have our you-how
it is essential to know that define
our products of females is influenced by the
indention at that Nika and logistic decisions
and choices made by the industry professionals
at pre-production, production and post-production
stage of the field, that technique and logistic
decisions and choices make a movie of feed
production IT professional, creative venture route by a collective intentional choices of the S bar to be the industry. Therefore, everything
that appears on the screen as a creative reason, a mini for being
there as the sub, the intentional choices
made by the S part, the framing size of the
theme, the shots type, the shot angle, the length
type, delighting type, the frame format, the
composition of the frame, the color tone of the scene, even the sets,
location, and so hot. They also have a populous, okay, hollywood be in the
business of emotion, makes these intentional
choices convey emotion or experiences of
the players in the screen, thereby intensify emotions of the characters through
the careful use of females and elements
and techniques so as to trigger an emotional
response from the audience. Okay, everything you do
must serve a purpose. They are not just there, just because you want to show off your
creative moles you. Okay, That is why I have
created this course to show you why creative professionals do what they do in the industry. This is a critical
breakdown and analysis of real Hollywood
movie deconstructing. Each struck their shots to the bare bone and
decoding the meaning behind each element and technique that made up
the feed production. In this course, you are going to learn a wide range of T's. You are going to learn
and be acquainted with inside-out
creative decisions. You will learn
cinematography in general, the real practical exercises of what cinematography
is really all about. You will also learn
how professionals and cartographers use lighting to convey emotion in this scene. How does shape light for
different creative reasons? Different types of
lighting equipment. They use a widely used
them in the scene. As we get acquainted with cinematographic
techniques in lighting, in natural lighting, in
daylighting, control, or artificial lighting,
cinematic lighting, soft vessels add
lighting, shadows, diffused lighting, what
our lights diffusers. What is C stand and its function in lighting
and so forth. You will also learn
lens choices for different types of
shots and framing size, long lens, wide angle lens, or try wide-angle lens, telephoto lens, frame format, focal length, depth of field, and so hot, you will learn
compositional rules. Why professionals please play as Guinea starting
corner of the frame, right AV, left, AV, balanced and symmetrical
composition. You will learn different
types of shots and the mini behind their
use in the scene. You will also learn
something called Shot combo of professionals combine different type of shots in a single shot to amplify the intended emotion
in the character in the screen and trigger emotional response
in the audience. White frame size plus
low angle plus dot, dot plus close frame is size,
close-up, extreme close-up. Joe car shot, medium
shot, medium wide shot, medium close-up shot,
point of view of POV shot, cutaway shot, B-roll shot. And so you will
also learn how and why colorist create the
movie the way they do it. By the end of each lesson, the list to water we'll
learn in a single screenshot extracted from a professional
movie is unlimited. Goal is to get to more
skewed and increase your expertise in
film production and teach you how it is done by the industry professionals so that YouTube can
do the same thing. We are all unique, creative way. This course is jam-packed. A lot of practical exercises and present the breakdown and analysis in a relatable and most interactive Analytica says, all you need in order to
pass pay successfully in this course is a
basic of film-making. And you'll be fine, okay? This cost is greater for beginner or intermediate
cinematographers. If we make us an
indifferent produces. It is also made for
film student will want to lend beyond
the lecture hall. If I were you, I would just
jump right in already.
2. CINEMATOGRAPHY ANALYSIS AND BREAKDOWN ABOUT THE STORY: Here's a quick one
about history, the cavea in the world we're about to analyze and break down. The genre of the movie is
comedy, fantasy, and trailer. When five college
friends arrive at a remote forest cabin
for a little vacation, lead to today are sped
directors that are weights one-by-one used for victims
to backwoods zombies. But there is another
factor at play to scientists are manipulating the goalie's going on in the forest. But even as the
body count rises, there is yet more
work than means. The higher the world
was once ruled by pass as gods Live beneath the head surface over the generations it
designated committee has been keeping the girls API by offering human sacrifices wide. Initially the sacrifices
were either too simple, and the GSS now slowly
started demanding some added drama for their
personal entertainment. The film begins with the
American Committee which discusses that the rest of the world sacrifices are failed. Only Japan and America
remained a group of friends or getting ready to head out to a remote cabin for the weekend. They have been on peak by
the committee off-screen. Do is the world caught Jews? Boyfriend is the athlete. Diana is the Virgin, holding is this scholar
and Marty is default. It is mentioned later on, but these titles are only approximate and
the patient goes, don't seem to care much as
long as the get-go shoe, the cabin has been rigged with everything from mind control, drugs and two traps
and to debt agent. Eventually it is length that the group didn't happen
to be there by accident. It is elaborate set up. Now, let's begin
the movie analysis and breakdown proper.
Are you ready? Let's do it.
3. SHOT ONE CINEMATOGRAPHY ANALYSIS AND BREAKDOWN: You're welcome to this lesson, critical breakdown,
analysis of cinematic shot. Now for the sake of copyright, we will not be able to dive deeper into the
motion of this shot. However, provide a screenshot
of the scene alone is enough to learn the real deal of the industry professionals, art, and craft of
cinema photography. Here you will learn a
wide range of reasons for intentional choices made by the industry professional
during pre-production, production, and
post-production of the movie. Now, here is a quick
information about the movie we're
about to analyze. The title of the
movie is the cabin, produced in 2012,
directed by Drew go dad. Degenerate of the movie
is comedy, fantasy, or are they famous
cinematographer is damaged. And the time period of
the production is 2010. That was the time the production of this movie takes place, but it was eventually produced
in 22, released in 2012. Okay. So the time the cinematography production
process took place in 2010. Now this set is forest, which is the location
of the scene. The story location, which is the location associated
to the story world, is not America, United States, but the female location is
British Columbia in Vancouver. Of course, you don't
need to shoot it at exact location of the
storyworld unless it is. Now the technical part
of this analysis. Are you ready? Let's do it. Now. The technical the camera used to shut this production
panel view Sean, millennia and millennia XL may lead to delays in use
in this production. Is panna vision
prime, more primes. Alright, so the format
of the picture is tight, five millimeter, which is the commonly used visual
format in the industry. Okay. So similar to, to photography, the format uses a camera, run it at five millimeter film horizontally instead of
vodka through the camera. The format is used so as
to provide the picture as the humor highest vision valence of that five millimeter format. Though 50 millimeter,
is taught as the equivalent of vision
from one human eye. But tight five
millimeter is close to the fusion from
both highs at once. Okay? So remember that
this is only valid for 35-millimeter film camera
size of full frame digital, say, alright, the lens, the lens choice for
this scene is white. They used a wider angle lens. For this, a wide angle lens has a focal length of tight five
millimeter or shorter, okay. Gives you a wide field of view. The wider your field of view, the more of the scene you'll
be able to see in the frame. So a wide-angle lens keeps
almost everything in focus unless your socket
is very close to the lens. This lens allowed the subjects, which is the building and the
background in focus, okay? If your background is just as
important as your subject, especially when your subject
is walking through a desert or a forest landscape from
a long shot point of view. So wide angle lenses also allow photographers
to get as close to the subject as possible without excluding crucial element
in the background. See, a wide angle
lens is a great tool for architecture or
videography or landscape, or when you want to show a
wider scale of an environment, keeping everything in
focus in its entirety. Okay? So a wide angle lens
also allows you to capture an entire building
without being very far away. Giving you the option to choose an interesting point to frame your shot at that don't rely solely on the building
to carry the shot. Now to show this
shot of this scene is really that the shot was taken outside
as you can see it. Okay. So if it was shot inside, should be referred to as into, that is the language
film-making. Okay, Now, the time of the
day for this scene is sunset. Okay? The Kelvin temperature
scale of this scene is between 3 thousand
to 4 thousand Kelvin, which is the Kevin
for sunset class. Okay, This is called magic
car or Gooding by filmmakers. This kind of lighting
is also called toxic. This sunset is chosen intentionally for
the purpose of this. Okay. And delighting source of
delighting pipe is daylight. There are variations to
daylight lighting source, but the one employed in
this shot is Thompson kind. It's saturated,
good and magical. That's why it is
commonly referred to as the good in our magic car. In film production. Though, it's a natural light, the picture always
come out beautiful. The light source in this scene is not controlled or diffused. It was taken as
natural as it is, but they had to complete a short as fast as possible
because the light source, we should go away if we make us always take
advantage of this. Okay? So these are choosing in this scene now
for the sake of Gordon R, but in order for these seem to transit tonight as
the scene progresses. Okay? And also, this
choice was made with degenerate in mind as
fantasy or a trailer. Now, delight. The lighting
is hedge, light, hard light. The lighting source make
it rim around the subject, as you can see here, right? This is naturally so as the scene lighting
is not controlled, the lighting source is harsh, making it as hard as it gives a treeless and
magnetic effect to the same. Hard Light is a full-cost, often bright light that
cost harsh shadows and draws attention to a
specific part of a photo. In add lighting, the transition
between the light and the shadow is very harsh and
divide as you can see here. Alright? So, yeah, shadows,
yeah, as light. It's defined, very defined. Where your subject is biased
in ad like their silhouette, we cast a distinct add shadow. The associated color of
this scene is warm, green. Color palette associated
with the same. Okay? Now the frame size, the frame size of the
scene is extremely wide. Extreme long shot set the camera for this away from
the subject and it's typically used to emphasize settings are
establishing location. Shots engages the extreme wide in order to review
the entirety of the subject in-focus to review or clarify
disease location. Okay. Now the shots shots type of this scene is
establishing shot and low angle shots type forest establishing shot, an
establishing shot. It is this opening shot of the scene introducing two halls, the context of the scene in relation to the story
before any of that. It's setting the stage for
the events of the scene. This is why the females choose the wide angle lens so as to capture the whole of the action
area of the scene. Okay? Low angle. Now the choice of the low
angle shot for this scene is chosen so as to strengthen and give trait to the
subject in-focus, the low angle shot I
often use to strengthen certain psychological effect
in film-making theme editor, typically to make a subject look very strong and powerful. This scene engages
the use of low angle in order to give character
or trait to the KB, meaning that this cannot be an ordinary KB for the camera to show
us from this hunger. As you can see here, this
gives it a dominant and power. It gives the sense of abundant and creepy KB in
the middle of nowhere. Okay? Now composition, the composition
of this shot is center. As you can see, the
center composition is the most powerful way to draw attention to
your main subject, as the name suggests, in the center composition, the main subject is
placed placemark, middle of the image frame. Sometimes it is used to
achieve a purpose in line with degenerate of the field
and all the go of the scene. In this scene, the
center frame is used purposefully to give dominant
to the subject in focus. In this scene, the KB can be
referred to as the subject because it's being given character as low
angle is engaged, making it even more
powerful as carrying. Right? Now, that would
be off for this C. Now, let's move to another
scene of the same movie. Are you ready? Let's do it.
4. SHOT TWO CINEMATOGRAPHY ANALYSIS AND BREAKDOWN: In the previous shot analysis will learn too wide
range of things. We learned about
center composition, low angle shot,
establishing shot, extreme wide frame
size, lighting, edge, lighting, lighting, delight
as the lighting source. Good in Thompson,
the wide lens size, the 35-millimeter film format. So welcome to this
course as we deploy a critical breakdown of the intentional technical
choices made by the filmmakers. Notice force that I will no
longer go into details about any cinematographic techniques we've previously discussed. With that in mind. Let's get you started. In this shot with C, have the same
natural hard light. The frame size is white. The shots type is still
establishing shot, but something is different here. It is group shot of characters. Previously we didn't have the characters
involved in the shot, but in this shot we have
a group of character. This type of shot is
called group shot. In this shot, we also have I. So first, let's treat the group shot from
what does it mean? Was the meaning of group shot? Group shot features more than one characters
in the frame. Okay, three shot for
shot of five shot. All the typical
form of groupings. In this shot, we
have a group shot of food players included
in a single shot. When you're seeing, requires five or more characters to
be recorded or towards, you move into the realm
of the group shot. A practice called blockade
can help with this. Blocking in theme
times usually refers to a director places
talent around the set or location
in relation to the current camera
position and length and go on action
and field of view. Time staging, often used
interchangeably with blocking, can refer to the purposeful
arrangement of sets, dressings, furniture or
doorways and windows, ETC. Group shots can benefit
greatly from Raza time. I'll set such that staging, talent and camera blocking enlightened decisions can be
made in a timely fashion. This shot captures the
players are lots wants to convey their mutual
experiences of their discovery. Now, the high angle shot
type in this frame. A high angle shot is a
famous technique where the camera looks done at
the subjects from above. When you see someone
or something from me, IR perspective, it's makes
it the subject seem smaller. I angle shot can make the
subjects in vulnerable or powerless when applied with the correct mode
settings and effect. In this scene, the
high angle shot is employed in order to amplify the feeling of experience for the characters in the frame. As they discover a creepy k being isolated in the
middle of nowhere. As the short present
them in front of the cabin as it
vulnerable stalemate. The composition type of
this shot is center, as we've learned about Santa composition in
the previous shot. So we're no longer going into detail about center composition. But as the case of this shot, we can see that all the dominoes subjects are placed at the middle
of the frame. So here is the associated
colors of the shots. We have warm, saturated yellow. All the technical decisions taken in this shot
hard, therefore, to emphasize the
Phillies of easiness, tension and curiosity in
the characters involved. Okay, So what we've learned so far in this shot
or group shot, natural lighting, as
we've learned that not all the time filmmakers use artificial lighting
in this shot. Wide frame size,
establishing shot, Griffith shot, high hunger, blocking, staging,
center composition, color, tone of the scene.
5. SHOT THREE CINEMATOGRAPHY ANALYSIS AND BREAKDOWN: Welcome to this shot as we
deploy a critical breakdown of the intention of
technical choices make by the female,
the female industry. You're ready. Now, let's do it. Right. This is another shot
of the same scene. Now this frame size
of this shot is wide. Shots type AND
gate in this shot, Dutch angle and lower, good with not learned
about in this course. So we are going
to talk about it, but we've learned
about low angle. We are only going to learn about the reason why it is
engaged in this shot. Okay, So now, so now the Dutch and Dutch
angle shot is basically anytime you slightly to the
horizon of your camera frame. And it's usually
used to convey on easy emotion that something
is not quite right. It tells us something is wrong or something bad is
about to happen. It could be dead, be
internal conflicts. And so it's basically used to express a vulnerable
situation of a character in the
movie to create a sense of ease or to magnify tension. And this Dutch angle is employed to trigger some
emotional response from the audience in order
for them to feel a sense of unease or to amplify emotion. In this shot, the low angle shot is employed to
present the building. As this carries on. Though it's not the dominant
subject in the frame, but it's still the
area of attention. As the character takes cautious
steps walking upstairs. The composition of
this shot is right. So we've not lend about
right every position type. So the composition of this
shot is right AV because it's places the dominant subject at the right angle up the frame, leaving more space to
the left of the frame. This composition
decision is made to create anticipation buildup of the character in this deck color of this shot is warm, jello. Light. What is soft lighting? Soft lighting is a
type of light with few add shadows that is
bright yet balanced. In soft lighting, they
transition between the light and the shadow is more of a
gradient and much smarter. When your subject is
bath in soft light, there will be little to no shadow on their
face or a random, odd and soft lighting. Different types of
lighting that are commonly used in photography
and film-making. Soft light is light that
pertains to wrap around objects, protecting diffused
shadows with soft edges. Whereas hard light is more
focused and produces as a solders delighting type of
this shot is to daylight. Again, the lighting
source of this shot was not controlled with
artificial years. It is just the nature of doing the job for the
crew on this set. All the technical choices
made in this seen so far is to amplify tension buildup in the character, in the frame. What we've learned, this shot, hard versus soft
light reasoning for the right AV
composition type and a Dutch angle shot care. We also learned about
low angle shot.
6. SHOT FOUR CINEMATOGRAPHY ANALYSIS AND BREAKDOWN: Okay, Welcome to
this short as we deploy critical breakdown
of the intention, not technical choices made
by the FIM professionals. Are you ready? Let's do it. Okay. Is another shot, another
C of the same movie, but the time of the day
of this shot is, might. Remember in film-making,
interior is the term used when a shot takes place
inside the set location. The associated color of this
is one, saturated blue. The frame size of this shot
is medium, medium white. In a movie, a medium
shot, medium shot, a width shot is a camera hunger shot from a medium distance in medium wide camera shot
shows both the subject and their location fumed from usually the head
to around Denise. It's wide enough to show
the setting of a scene. Why? Close enough to show
character's facial cues? Medium shot to draw attention to both the character and their surroundings by giving them equal space in the frame. This frame size is
usually employed in females order to get the overall action
of the character in the occlusal view from
a human point of view, it is close enough to see
what the character is doing with their physicality
from knees to the head. In this shot, it is discovered that medium shot is not only distinguish two when
the character is in standard position
from their anger, but it is also so when verity of angles is
engaged in this shot, making it computation of
short of new angle shot, medium wide shot, and group
shot all in a single shot. This shot type a
group shot and lower. Okay. Shot first, we are not going to go into details
about low angle, but we'll talk about low angle
in relation to this shot. To this shot is a group shot because it's present
more than one character in a single shot, as we've learned before
in the previous lesson, as it is employed
to achieve more our experience of emotional
response in them, from their point of view. It is short, it is also
length that not all the time the camera is pointing
upward at character, in short, that it is giving them terminates and power in the
case of low angle shot. But it could present
the point of view of the character from the
ground up perspective. When they looked
down at something, it makes it feel
like what they are staring at is staring back at the lens and use in this shot is wide angle lens will not go into details about this lens type as we've already done it
in the first lesson. So this type of
lens is engaged in this shot in order for
the camera to capture the group of character
all at once without missing anyone heart from
a close perspective. Without the use of wide
angle lens in this shot, the camera will not be able
to get close enough to capture all of the characters and their overall reactions, which is vital for
the purpose of the cinematic
effect of the scene and the overall
gender of the stores. The composition of
this shot is balanced. Yes, we have not learned about
balanced composition yet. So we're going to talk about it. This shot is balanced
because it is symmetric. As you can see, filling the frame hop in a straight
to the highest manner. Picking up all the characters in every corner of the
horizontal axis. When composing a frame, it is important to consider
the way these objects are subject to rest along the
horizontal axis of the frame. Think of it as a seesaw. If your objects subjects
are distributed evenly, it would tip the
balance of the frame to either the left or the right, create an underlying
sense of tension. But not every object contains the same amount
of visual weight. The visual weight of an object
is determined by its size, as in the case of this shot, being a group shot, a balanced frame of
film conveys a sense of stability,
conformity, and powder. It can also convey equality, whether it is between friends, are adversaries and imbalanced
frame pulls the viewers for costs one edge or
corner of the frame. Understanding frame
composition rules is invaluable knowledge for
directors and cinematographers. And so is knowing
when to break them. Shooting a perfectly
symmetrical shot, breaking the rules of Todd is used for very specific reasons. This character was put in
the center of the screen, ignoring the rule of thought, the character then becomes the center of attention
and it causes tension. Artists use these
techniques all the time to direct the viewer's eyes
to a specific place. Balanced and symmetrical in a short can be very effective. Case of this shot. Delighting type or
the lighting source of this shot is
artificial lighting. Tungsten. We've not talked about artificial lighting and
function in the previous shot, so we're going to
talk about it here. Artificial lighting is a form of lighting that is controlled by lighting sources for a
desired effect in the sea, artificial light is engaged
in film production to lead video cameras see the same as the human highest dose, which in turn gives you a much more natural
looking scene. The director of
photography then tweaks and shaped the light for
the purpose of the shot, the type of the artificial
lighting source used in this shot
is called Thompson. We've talked about Thompson
briefly in the first shot, so we're going to
talk about it now. Tungsten lights Most often
refers to lamps that you use. Tungsten halogen
bulbs that produce a light with a color
temperature around 200 Kelvin, which always illuminate Gooding are of good light lighting. The lighting of this shot
is controlled as it engage. The user, says, to reduce the quality of light
from its source, blending evenly to achieve the
desired tone of the scene. Diffuser is used to break up and distributes light evenly. Light rays incident in parallel, distributed in
different direction and does produce diffuse
glare free light, diffusion of reflection, and our shadow and
refraction of light. The optical effect
used for this purpose, we have a wide range of light diffuser in
film production, depending on the required
effect of the diffuser, is always placed in front of the artificial lighting
equipment in order to level the effect of the light evenly on the target
test subjects or objects in the scene. Some diffusers to
require us this time to hang it while in use dependent on the size
of the required light for the targeted
area of the scene. Since stand, I used to
hang lights equipment. So the overall emotions of this shot was triggered through the careful craft of every technicality citizens
of the same process. The acetyl feeling
of this shot is to create a kind
of confused group of young people awkwardly looking down, scared
and friendly. I'm worried. Okay, in this shot
with lent a bar, the following interior
shot, frame size, medium, medium white groups shot, low angle, different
kinds of point of view, balanced composition, the
artificial lighting type, and Thompson diffuser
soft lighting assistant. So intentional reasons for each technical
decisions of this scene is why the filmmakers do what they do in the
film production.
7. SHOT FIVE CINEMATOGRAPHY ANALYSIS AND BREAKDOWN: Welcome to this short, as we deploy a critical
breakdown of the intention or technical choices made by
the females? Are you ready? Let's do this shot five of the same movie and
in the same seat. The time of day, the time of the day in the
shot is the set of this scene, is interior of the KB. Color is one, desaturated. The frame size of
this shot is closeup. So we've not lead to
a close-up shot type. And in this lesson, we are going to talk
about it in great detail. Okay, of all different
types of camera shot sizes. In FEM, a close-up is perfect for a moment that are
important for the character. Close-up shot size is near enough to register
a tiny emotions, but not so close that
we lose visibility. Close-up maybe designated in discrete according
to the image size. Or they may be listed
as close-up or see you. The size left to the discretion of the
director or camera man. The interpretation of actua, Area famed for a close-up, varies greatly, but it's almost always considered in relation
to the subject matter. If phase is more objects, small-scale action
may be selected from the overall scene and shown
full screen in a close-up. Close ups are among the most powerful
storytelling devices available to the filmmakers. They should be reserved for Vitale spot in the
story so that they are intended visual impact upon the audience is
assured in this scene. See that close-up is not only used for characters
in the frame, it is also used for anything that is
featured in the screen. As we see the close-up of
this basement staircase, the shot type of
this shot is inside. So we've now learned
about insert shot. So we're going to talk
about it in great detail. Full screen close-ups
of letters, telegrams, photographs,
newspapers, signs, posters, or other written
or printed matters, props, object, or these
invoked in a short are caught. It can be caught Bureau shots, detail shot in such
short of cotton waste, generally in that field so that they overlap
the frame slightly. Does eliminating the background. Think of this shot
as a review of what a subject in the preceding
shot is looking at. As the case of this shot, this carry basement
whole group of characters staring down
at it in great horror. So this shot also function as a point of view
of the characters. Now we've not talked
about point of view. So point of view or
point of view shot, easy sequence that is
shot as if the viewer, while looking through the
eyes of a specific character. This shot is a common
trick of the oral field. That is, we are placed in
the position of the Keillor, walked is slowly sneaking
up on the victim. In this shot, we are placed in the position of the
character staring down at the creepy who in
great tension and curiosity. So the compensation of
this shot is saying, OK, and delighting type of this shot is artificial light
and tungsten lights. So we'll not go into
details about that as we've already discussed about
artificial lighting. And Thompson, in the
previous shot list. Delighted is soft lighting. So DO Varro and motion of this
shot was triggered through the careful craft of every technical decisions
of the same process. The oscillator filling up this shot is to create a kind of creepy feeling in
the character and the audience as the
stare down the hall. In this shot, we
learned about POV, or point of view shot in such short the close-up
frame size. So hard. Now, in the next shot we have
the finest cinematic scene. We are going to break down
and analyze in this course. You're ready, Let's go do it.
8. SHOT SIX CINEMATOGRAPHY ANALYSIS AND BREAKDOWN: Welcome to this short as we deploy a credit
card breakdown of the intention or
tetany color choices made by the filmmakers. Are you ready? Let's do it. This is the final shot. This shot says that we are going to analyze in this course. So the time of day
of this shot is night is in the interior
of the basement. Okay. Here's another one that we've
not discussed about so far. Extreme close up. The frame size of this
shot is extreme close up. The extreme close-up may be
abbreviated as ECU or domain. If you make us simply
refer to it as a tight close-up or a choker. An extreme close-up shot
is a type of camera shot size in theme that fills the frame
which are subject. And it's so close
that we can pick up tiny details that would
otherwise be difficult to see. The human face occupies
as much of the frame as possible and still shows
the key features of eyes, nose, mouth, or towards
the top of the forehead. Bottom of genes are
cut off. Most types. Such an intimate shot put
the audience directly in the face of the subject because every details of the
face is highly visible, pronounced facial movement or expressions needs to be
soft to very little. Head movement can be tolerated before the
subject moves out of frame. And emotional
connection is easy to make with this in
your face, Freemium, this shot is about war
and how Woolf is hot, hungry, scared, lovey, so hard. Okay, it's transport us into the inner emotional feelings of the character in the frame. Registering every visual cue on the character's face down to the high brow shape
of the character. In this shot, the frame size
is intention in order to present the horror of the scene without leaving any details out. This is important for
this shot in order to make the plot of this
scene come to life, This type of frame size
is engaged to trigger a wide range of emotional
response from the audience. This show, we can see the
character covered in blood, nose, bleeding,
much benches die. This desperation, pain
and cite high are these little details
are tiny but very essential to the
cinematic effect of this. This shot was recorded in
a long or medium shot. All these details
would not be feasible. This is one pathway effect of the extreme close-up
camera framing type. In this scene, we already
started three types of shots combination
in a single shot, I provide an extreme
close-up shots. So the composition of
this shot is right. This framing composition puts the character the right
side of the frame, leaving a wider
space from a front, the angle of the
shot looks down on the character slightly
from a provider, from the top, as in the
case of high angle shot, that presents characters in a
vulnerable, helpless state, the high angle shot is
engaged in order to convey the character's
emotional state in this scene as desperate in pain, misery, Bu Di, and
effortlessness. Though the character's
face is facing the camera, the short can still register. It provides shot of the camera captures from the provider
side perspective. Okay? Site IQ on
her face registers, scared character, watching out
for any trait and matches. Okay? Now the length
times the length size of this shot is long delays. We've not talked
about long length, so we're going to talk
about it in great detail. Okay? So what does it long
lens do you feel make it long focus lens is a
camera lens which has a focal length that
is longer than the diagonal measure of the film or sensor
receives its image. It is used to make decisions. Objects appear magnified with magnification increasing as longer focal length
lenses are used. My personal favorite
focal length for close-ups is eight
to five millimeter. And I'm certainly not
the only one to use this lens as my go-to
for C, you should. In fact, it's been a
long time favorite for many cinematographers in the
industry over the years. The best vocal range
for portrait headshot is 85 millimeter to want that. Because of the
beautiful way that these lenses we
flatten your subject. As in the case of this shot, we can see that the
face is more closer to the screen and flatten
it beautifully. To illustrate this point, let's think about what doesn't
work in terms of liaising. Taking the two extreme side
of the focal length spectrum, ultra wide angle and
telephoto examples. Okay, if you're shooting on
an ox track wide angle lens, let's say a fish
eye for example, your image is to be distorted. Facial features, we get assent tweeted in
all the wrong ways. Wide-angle lenses are not designed to be used
for close-up shots. And D are most often used for landscapes and
white action shot, as we've discussed in this shot, one of this course, which is why you can't expect wide-angle lens to walk well in a situation that they weren't intended for us in the
case of this shot, you can now use wide angle
lens to take this shot, okay? They can look at this shot
for an extreme example. Granted, a cool look, but it's not what you normally want in a traditional
close-up shot, okay? So it's distorted,
it's accentuated, it's not what you actually
want for your shot. So, for instance, a
24 millimeter lens may not be considered an
extreme wide angle lens, but it is quite far from the optimal range you
want to be working with. And Destiel will be
some pleasing effect on facial features if you attend to use it
for close-up shot. It's also important
to think about not only what your lens
is doing to the subject, but also what it's doing
to the background. If we are using the
transform millimeter lens as described, you are going to need to
move your camera quiet close to your subject to have
them framed up closer. Which means you are going to see a lot of more background than if they were framed up using it five millimeter
lens, long lens. For instance, since the
transform millimeter will pull more of surrounding
environment, which means we are going to see a lot more background than if they were framed up using
an 85 millimeter long lens. For instance, since the
transformative meet up with pull in more of the
surrounding environment. So to inform the limit is not
best for a close-up shot. Okay, So the order important consideration that should be
taken is the depth of field, which is obvious in this shot. We can see the depth of
field of this shot. Here. Depth of field is the range
of distance within which all objects would be in
acceptable sharp focus. Close-up shots requires
a more shallow depth of field so that the focus is completely on your subject and the background is
thrown out of focus. Avoiding unnecessary
distractions in the frame in order to achieve a
long lens is needed. So you don't need to worry about placing your
subject really far away from the background for all the reasons
mentioned so far, long lenses are almost always the way to go
for close-up shot. Okay. The lighting source type of this shot is artificial
lights, Larissa. So we've not talked about
fluorescent artificial light. So we're going to talk
about it in great detail. So we've talked about
artificial lighting, but we've not discussed
about fluorescent light. So a fluorescent lamp uses low pressure mercury vapour to produce ultraviolet
light in turn, causing a phosphor
coating on the inside of the glass tube to glue giving off light in the
visible spectrum. If fluorescent light gives
almost the same output as HM, lighting, and it's a lot more efficient than Encarta
sense light, okay. Delighting is soft lighting. It distribute illumination
softly on the character face. The shadow on this side of
our phase is made to achieve a cinematic effect in the shot as it's buries
her in the dark, leaving just a side of the face. All these are
intentional decisions of the cinematographer to achieve the plot in line with
the genre of the film. So the color of this
shot is desaturated. All the technical choices
made in this scene is to trigger an emotional
response from the audience. As it's presented
the character in a vulnerable state and
applets situation. The overall associated
feeling of this is the sense of desperation
and society tension, enjoyed, pain, miserable, die, and helplessness in both the
character and the audience. Shots. So far, we've learned about short combination in
a single shot, ion, good angle, long lens as trim, close-up framing size, right? Every Frame me composition,
provide good shot. New kind of high angle shot, ice angle, provide short. And finally, our shadow is used to achieve
cinematic effect. That makes it the hand of
the analysis for this movie. So far you are not
loaded weeks wide range of knowledge in film-making us. You are now more acquainted with some decisions made by
professionals in the industry. So that will be hard
for this course. On to another word.
