![]() ![]() ![]() Please keep in mind that I had nothing to do with this film! The notes I have made cannot be accurate in the sense that I actually don't KNOW what is going on, what lens was used, etc. That's just me, but I'm sure you'd rather this format than listening to me waffle on for pages at a time. I for one like pictures and the less I have to read, the more engaged I am. Instead of writing paragraph upon paragraph, detailing the craftsmanship that I noticed behind each scene, I decided to sort of make a book. Here's the dissecting part.so it took me a while, but I decided to go through the entire film and look for things that I may have missed during my first viewing. I'm always analyzing films and shots but this is the first time I've ever published those has been a great experience for me and hopefully you get something out of it too :) So, below I've picked some of my favorite scenes from the film and have outlined things that I noticed and appreciated about the cinematography and other interesting elements. The inspiration to write this in-depth blog post came to me after a friend of mine (I won't dare mention his name hehe) said that the film did nothing for him! Not only was I completely glued to the screen and scrambling for clues to solve the case, but nearly every single scene had me looking with awe at the masterful cinematography and film-making craftsmanship that was before me on screen. I recently watched PRISONERS, written by Aaron Guzikowski, Directed by Denis Villeneuve and shot by the cinematographer I admire the most, Roger Deakins ASC (visit his amazing cinematography site). I know I find it very difficult to watch a movie and NOT analyze the craftsmanship behind it.but you know you're watching a good one when all you can see is the story un-fold, but even then I can't help but notice things like lighting choices, camera moves and color. NOTE: If you enjoy this breakdown, please also check out my newest edition for Inglourious Basterds HERE :)Ĭan you imagine being a chef and going out for dinner to a new restaurant? Or a builder who's looking to buy a new home? What are they looking for in a meal? Or a house? I think it's natural for anyone passionate in their field to study and enjoy the work of their peers, but sometimes it gets in the way of the experience. ![]()
