MOM LOOK AT ME I'M CINEMATOGRAPHING!!!

Been a while since ive seen one of these threads

Name one (1(one)) thing wrong with this shot

Just try to think 'critically'.
Does the lighting/framing match the mood of the narrative, story, character(s)? What about the colours?
Watch anything Deakins has worked on to see more cinematography that doesn't really add anything to the movie and is there to just look pretty.
Take the Sicario meme shot where he needed to paint something ugly (since he has lots of control) but ends up falling on his own trappings, making yet another run of the mill Deakins digital photography work and putting everything prettily in position with Always Perfect Lightning and Always Perfect Framing etc.
He is dishonest hackery embodied. He is a desktop background merchant.

Yes, the lighting/framing matches the mood of the narrative, without a doubt. Seems you cant explain whats wrong with the shot and are just regurgitating a meme

>i'd put a bullet right between your eyes
eurocucks are such pussies

No it doesn't. It was jarring even on a first watch. Like I said, it should have been ugly and gritty, instead it looked like a sophomore photography competition entry

why

Seems your subjective opinion is shit and not convincing. Its a very beautiful shot

I don't even really understand your position but this level of vitriol sold me

>Its a very beautiful shot
I know and that's the point: it shouldn't have been

>Plus he's so old his mom is probably dead.
lmao

What a hack fraud he is. I prefer real shot composition

shut up cunt

>contrarian
Literally not an argument. If you actually have a good defense for this garbagemeister I'm all ears

>you disagree with me that means you must be a capeshitter
this is why we need a /capeshit/ board

>it should have been ugly and gritty

Based on what?

I was just thinking about how dishonest this dude is.

Based on the film

looks like I took the bait

It's both haunting and beautiful. They are leaving the "pretty" blue lights of the regular world and descending into the red/dark hell of their work.

Okay, I'll bite. What cinematographers do you like as opposed to Deakin, OP?

Zack Snyder

Simple answer: the ones I don't notice
But this quote from Robert Richardson sums it up:
>"It's important not to confuse visual clichés with artistic photography. If a choice had to be made, I would much rather shoot a good picture than a good-looking picture."
Meme DPs like Chivo and Deakins need to read that line over and over again, grow the fuck up and learn something about integrity.

This is still a retarded implication since not a single shot in Deakins career is just an empty "pretty" shot just for the sake of being pretty. Visual storytelling is all he does.
If anything he's extremely conservative when it comes to camera operating and won't move the camera an inch if it doesn't support the narrative.

I agree with that point for post 2000 Lubezki though yes.

wtf is this shit?
>click

>Don't worry, I wouldn't ever rape anyone.
hahahahah hehehe eh

>If I went to rape you right now, do you think your husband could stop me? Don't worry, I wouldn't ever rape anyone. BUT, if I wanted to, do you think he could stop me? I don't think so.
YOU ARE NOT YOUR FUCKEN KHAKIS

whoa dude it's like..orange n shit. Damn

>Visual storytelling is all he does. If anything he's extremely conservative when it comes to camera operating and won't move the camera an inch if it doesn't support the narrative.
That's actually a fair point, his work with the Coen bros is top notch, and with other directors too. HOWEVER his work with dulleneuve is dire. I think it's because Villeneuve doesn't really have a firm idea of who he is a director, so he lets his suborbinates run amok and then reaps all the credit. Entire segments of Sicario and especially Blade Runner felt like a Deakins wet dream, with little to no consideration of the project in general

*as a director

I disagree. It's not like Arrival or any of his non Deakins films look or operate completely different, which would be the case if it is like you implied it is.

Deakins has most of the creative control with lighting, Villeneuve with framing/composition/blocking. And they always work together long before the actual production starts, so your point of Villeneuve "letting his subordinates rum amok" is factually wrong.

Well Arrival is Villeneuve's best film by far, in my opinion. And it does feel very different to Prisoners, Sicario and Blade Runner.
Arrival is a very sleek machine, whereas the others are comparatively bogged down and tedious. I think at least some of that is due to Deakins. Villeneuve isn't a bad director, but he's pretty young and clearly can't handle a larger-than-life DP like Deakins. He's yet to find his own directorial style.
I don't really respect Villeneuve as a director as yet. I mean he's made some decent films but I don't really think he's the second coming of Christ as some people on board seem to think. Still, there's a lot of room to improve, and I'm really looking forward to his Dune

I find Arrival too "Hollywood" when compared to any of his other films, which is mostly the fault of the script.
Yeah Dune should be interesting since it's the first film in quite a while where Villeneuve is also involved with the writing, which probably means he won't allow any department to twist his vision in any way right down to the script itself.

And while I like all his collaborations with Deakins, picking Fraser as the DP for Dune was the best possible decision

cinematographers are just glorified electricians anyway

cringe
where the fuck do you live?

>can't comprehend ugliness juxtaposed against beauty
>only sees a sunset as eye candy and "dishonest" despite it being one of the most memorable sunset shots in the last decade
>doesn't recognize one of the most hue-contrast shots in the whole film as significant and transitional

are people who hate Deakins just failed photog students who can't cope with their own basic nature? this guy's literally complaining that the cinematography doesn't beat you over the head with VIOLENCE ABOUT CARTELS IS BAD AND UGLY
