Then we get to Italy and I'm torn a bit because I'm thinking about the possibility of warm colors. The inclusion of Caravaggio is pretty cool.

    Paris Texas is one of the most beautiful movies ever made. It blindsided me and I haven’t been the same since. It also got me to discover Wim Wenders’ stand-alone photography. He has a photo book on the American West (because of course, Germans) that inspired me in my own photography. Great video.

    One film that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere under this video and which absolutely *has* to be seen if you're a photographer is _Himmel über Berlin,_ English adaptation is _Wings of Desire,_ by Wim Wenders.

    the beauty of great film is that it is a series of individuale compositions that flow from one to the next. for me, my 'vision as I live my day is like a movie, where I seen moments or instants where I say, 'wait there's an image, wait there's an image to be captured. so life as it travels around me, I see it as a movie of still frames . an excellent selection for your presentation loved it as I totally can relate and have always promoted this

  • @shyamalganguly3598
    @shyamalganguly3598 Місяць тому

    Your suggestion is really inspiring and worth trying them in making still shots! It's always a handy idea to watch films and learning how innovatively lighting and composition are used to create mood interest drama and intent in almost every shot from sequence to sequence! But the matter has to be kept in mind that learning them photography from films gives us ideas to implement them to make still shots with limited scope of using the same technique single handedly because in films a lot of technicians are involved to get a desired effect and so also lightings use lamps like metal halides and vapour ones and they're super costly and unique to achieve startling effects which nearly impossible in studios of limited capacity space and wiring to have the effects of films but the essence could be maximized when you have limited light sources at hand with reflectors and soft boxes even with single light source! Moreover, the dark room part is indispensable for films while you can get away with without editing your still shots in editing software or darkroom if you are convinced that it's already taken care of while taking the picture!

    Great choices and insights.
    So glad you included Night of the Hunter, which sadly was Charles Laughton's only directorial effort, but which is visually sublime and just right creepy.
    I would perhaps add Orson Welles's Touch of Evil.
    Have you seen La Jetée? It's a unique photography based cinematic experience, though not about photography.
    OH!. I highly recommend watching the Netflix series Ripley. Every single frame is a visual treasure.
    Great, as always.

      Hi Fernando! Thank you for watching! Yes I know what I shake that this was Laughton’s only directorial effort. I wonder why!
      Touch of Evil was on my list funny enough, so I definitely need to find a way of including it on the channel. I have watched La Jetée and a couple of other movies by Chris Marker. It’s not really my cup of tea but I appreciate them a whole lot and I know exactly what you’re talking about the cinematic experience is unique.
      I watched Ripley last weekend and I loved it, right up my alley! Hope you keep well 🤝🏻

    I'd add the movie "Following" to the list, which is Christopher Nolen's debut from 1988. It's in b/w and in 4:3 format, which adds a bit of nostalgia, although it's quite a recent production. But that's not the only reason why I like it. According to some film reviewers it's a Neo Noir movie, which I mildly disagree to. However, it has interesting lighting and low key scenes and the story is quite intriguing as well.

    Good video you did here. As with the movie/film 'Night Of The Hunter', it was composed as photographs with moving figures. In 'All That Heaven Allows', Douglas Sirk and Russell Metty used technicolor to enhance the richness of the image. With '12 Angry Men', the audience is forced watch the jurors from different backgrounds and social classes locked within an enclosed space to decide a young man's fate. 'The Naked Island', we see a family go through the constant struggle of survival on island nearly forgotten by the rest of the world. Never heard of 'Red Desert', but because of the clips shown on here, perhaps I should watch it. With 'Pharaoh', it's the camera that's storyteller more than the director. Through it, we see that it's the high priests who had slowly stolen the power Egypt from the Pharaoh. Making him nothing more than a figure head. 'A Woman Under the Influence' directed by John Cassavetes is interesting, because Cassavetes often starred in other people's films/movies like 'Rosemary's Baby' to finance his independent character studies. By studying these movie/films and the others recommended, it may help improve our photography and/or filmmaking. Good job.

    Nice. A cinematographer I love for his range is Haskell Wexler who worked on Medium Cool, b&w in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, did half of Malick's Days of Heaven, did the opening scene in Union Square in San Francisco for Coppola in The Conversation, Thomas Crown Affair, some of Cassavetes' Faces and more.
    I don't know what category it goes in but Dreyer's restored b&w silent era The Passion of Joan of Arc can be considered as one of the greatest films ever made.

    Some wonderful inspiration here! I love Paris Texas and the films of Wong Kar Wai but was unfamiliar with some of the earlier suggestions. Thanks for the links. Its interesting that there have been critics of the current Netflix production Ripley, a new dramatisation of Patricia Highsmith's book(s), filmed in gorgeous (in my view) black and white, mainly set in Italy, with some lovely deep shadows, textures and rainy streets - the criticism of some being that the noir look is boring and tiring. For me, it couldn't be further from the truth but each to their own I guess!.
