Write a 3 page essay about the cinematography in a film of YOUR choosing. It DOES NOT have to be a film shot digitally.

Apart from Google, the following magazines may help in your research:

American Society of Cinematographers – ASC

International Cinematographers Guild Magazine – ICG

Some pointers on the essay:
– Write a little background on the cinematographer
– Include a short synopsis of the film
– Did you like the film or not? Why?
– Did the visuals enhance the story? Why and how?
– Pick a shot or two and go into some detail about the visual approach using the
expanded vocabulary you acquired in the course.
(camera movement, focus, colors, lighting, depth of field, composition,
lenses, zoom in zoom out)
