How Cinematographers ACTUALLY Make Their films CINEMATIC

All over KZfaq there are endless amounts of video pundits telling you how to make your films and images "cinematic." It's such an overused term, why do we even need another video talking about?
Well, because I think most of them are wrong.
Or, at least, missing the main point.Today, with examples from the greats, I talk about the only way to truly make your films actually "cinematic" - let's define our terms and let's go.

I'm with you on this, Curren. If the image is king and audio is queen, then story is the kingdom of a film.

That's a great way of putting it. There is A TON that goes into a great story, and image is just one component.

Story is King but even knowing that it’s still easy to screw up. Actors or Doc subjects hold back and sometimes don’t advance the story. So working around that to deliver the story is what separates the pros.

That's a great point. Story is the key element, but there are dozens of things that go into "story," including the people you are filming, the locations, the blocking, the editing, etc.

very well said and NCFOM is just iconic (well, just about anything Deakins puts a lens to is)...

Why the cinematic look obsession?

@CurrenSheldon 2 ай бұрын

Because people want their videos to look "cinematic," without really thinking about what that means. Story makes something cinematic, not always visuals.

😅 el guión y la actuación, la fotografía correcta no es la más espectacular, es la que sirve a la narración. Por eso no me gusta Dune😅😅😅 no veo que sea mejor que otras solo por su "bonita fotografía"...
