- One of my all time favourite film by writer/director Chris Nolan.
Director of Photography: Wally Pfister
This is a cinematography analysis on the final scene in Inception. This scene from the film has many subtle camera movements from a fixed position.
About halfway I started forgetting to read the shot types. Inception is that good
No, I think that just means you get sidetracked too easily
+CalculusFist No, I think Inception really is just that good.
J. Haller Productions Nah. If you're trying to learn the cinematography techniques of a movie that you like a lot and you can't step back for long enough to examine the techniques, then you've got a way too small attention span.
***** Sorry?
I couldn't hear you over how awesome Inception is :P
+CalculusFist If the beauty, the craftsmanship of the work you're studying doesn't make you give it your full attention at least the first few times watching a shot (or first time in a while), you could be studying better works.
It's not an analysis, it's a simple description. An anylysis would explain why they use the angles and stuff.
I know people are talking about the lack of analysis but I really liked seeing proper names of these shots as they would have been discussed on set or written down in storyboards or whatever. As a beginner it helped me understand the power of these shots even more. Especially with that sequence of frikkin Inception!! It was cool!
"Look who's here".
GOOSEBUMPS, every f*cking time!
This is not an analysis, you just put the name of the shots...

I like this. It's sometimes hard to notice what you're seeing and why you're seeing it in movies. Often in big productions everything flows so well you just kind of just experience it without thinking about it. Also I love every move they did was dictated by the story and the scene. So fluid and seamless. Nice clip to break down. I'm going to look for more of these now.
This is cool. Recently discovered how important it is to know the names of all of these shots. Def feel like you can't start making movies until you know the language.
For all the pendants out there complaining that it is not an analysis, it is a break down. He doesn't have to do everything for you does he? As you point out there is lots of analysis out there. The breakdown into shot types and camera movement is still a useful example for students learning filmmaking. I showed it to my students. The lack of voice over makes it a better teaching tool. So thanks Reuben Singham. Ignore these obnoxious people.
before this i had no idea what cinematography is.
making a movie is not an easy work
#respect to the moviemakers
Lmao Nice name :.)
You're literally just listing the shots...
How is this an analysis in any way?
Look up Every Frame a Painting; his Fincher analysis is excellent.
pure art!!!! and is so so so simple but perfecto shots
Thank you for the great video
You broke the whole frame down beautifully bro. Very well observed
this is an usefull hints for studying the cinematography
yes
Excellent! That's truly cool. Thank you for this vids.
Thank you for making this
The amazingness about Inception was the allegorical meaning that man's determination to dominate every aspect of reality will ultimately be his downfall.
What's awesome about that movie is that it alludes to how fragile our very perception of reality is, since after all "reality" as we know it only consists of the information that is gathered by our consciousness by means of touch, sight, sound, smell, and feel. We never stop to think about the fact that the real, objective reality consists of WAY more than that. In fact, just the simple discovery of different types of waves in the air is proof that, with our consciousness the way it is, we're only capable of experiencing an EXTREMELY small portion of the whole of reality. And the more we push those boundaries of our perceptions the more we risk overreaching, thus destroying how our minds currently experience things.
I think it hearkens back to philosophers like Nietzsche, who ultimately died literally insane and alone after spending years trying to dissect the different aspects of life. And I think the most important parallel between those people and the movie Inception is that in both cases someone powerful figured out how to use that knowledge to control others. In fact, Hitler took much of Nietzsche's writing and used it to START the Nazi party.
All-in-all, Inception was amazing because it really made you question what reality is, and how it can ultimately be used. What are your thoughts?
This is actually a huge help.
This is really helpful to me to understand the shots , thanks so much
this scene is great cause when he wakes up confused we can actually relate to that feeling,from everyones expression we can see how is everyone.
I need to analyse this film for school, thank you so much ! this helped :)
You're welcome, glad it could help! Thanks for subscribing :)
Ooooh the ending!!! every time!
this was amazing! thanks!
Absolutely fantastic
Thank you, The520man! :)
such a Beautiful ending
You should make more videos like this. I'm out of animation school and this helps a lot with storyboarding.
Amazing, many thanks
Thank's for sharing.
One of the most helpful pieces I've ever seen to help in my cinematography travels. Thank you so much...
I admire your analytical skills, but you probably need to identify the purpose of certain points because Christopher Nolan is an artistic genius in the field of film.
favorite movie of all time.
can you tell me the tittle of this film, thanks ,
A serbian film
Thank you so much !
Thank you very much...
The text makes it look like opening credits.
waooooh! that is good i like it!!!
Ayy man you start making more videos like this and I bet your views are gonna hit the roof 🤯
The first shots are not on eye level.Dicaprio shot is above and the old man under eye level. This gives the shots it's power.
true, thanks! Sorry, was new to this when I made this vid.
Wrong. In both shots, the camera is subtly BELOW the subject's eyes (which is the case for 99.9% of all the shots with human subjects.
can u please do more of this kind of videos telling medium long shots ,extreme shots etc ,like different shots and angles in the movie , it would be really helpful for the people and students learning different angles and shots !
Good! Just one mistake: the fourth scene is Detail Shot/Pan Left/Shallow Depth of Field.
Good stuff!
excellent
wow
Nice
Is it me or does Leonardo character look like Robert deniro’s character from the movie Heat.
