Visual Story
Telling
Creating films is about
telling a story in a visual medium. There are certain visual effects which tell
a story in a more believable manner. Bad cinematography can ruin even the best
of scripts. The second the eye stops believing in the film, the whole movie
becomes one big visual distraction. If the camera work is terrible, the angles
awkward and the cutting distracting, the audience will focus on those elements
rather than get lost as an active observer of the story.
Creating movies is about
creating an illusion. It's about making the viewers believe they are in the
scenes with the actors as an observer. As a visual story teller it's your
responsibility to ensure your audience can remain in this fantasy land for the
duration of your film.
If you don't understand
cinematography then you won't be able to keep your audience believing in the 3
dimensional illusion of your story. Therefore our film school focuses heavily on
cinematography and the process of creating a breathtakingly believable film.
