Movie Studies Vol. 1
I do movie studies from time to time, to sharpen my colour/lighting, storytelling and composition skills. It is fascinating to study master cinematographers, and to learn how they adapt their compositions and colours to support the stories they are tasked to tell. I just wanted to share these studies here that I've posted on tumblr a long time ago. Each frame takes between 15-25 minutes or so.
Movies studied that are included below: Apocalypse Now, Chicago, Love, Rosie, Pride and Prejudice, Rush, The Aviator, The English Patient, The Painted Veil and West Side Story.
All frames are read from left to right first, then top to bottom.
