Documentary on Cinematography "Visions of Light"



Today we'll be watching the 1992 documentary "Visions of Light" about the work of the top cinematographers.

It covers many aspects of topics covered in the reading - particularly the use of contrast and color and composition in the structuring of the frame.

The film also discusses how technological innovations have impacted upon the work of the camera operator, and therefore how images for the screen have evolved since the earliest days of cinematography.

As you watch, please fill out first part 1 of a quiz about the film - and then come back to this blog and do part 2
