HOW TO WRITE A LEAD QUESTION:

Be in Independent position

QUESTION HAS TO BE SPECIFIC AND STRAIGHT TO THE POINT

Don’t make the question too long

Don’t make it confusing (do not add two questions within ONE question)

Focus on one subject and make it defined

Do not put the answer in your question

Formulate your subject into a question

Make your question and subject open to a LOT of discussion

I've chosen 2 subjects I'd like to do a written dissertation on: AI and Cinematography.

IDEAS FOR CINEMATOGRAPHY DISSERTATION

- Aesthetic

- Feel

- LUTs?

- DITs?

- Digital Aesthetic

- New vision of filmmaking in digital photography

POSSIBLE LEAD QUESTIONS:
As of today, how does AI have the ability to create a film without a single human being on set?

How does AI replace people’s jobs on a film set?

With the growth of AI, how does it disrupt the authenticity of filmmaking?

How have cinematographers from the black and white era (1900-1960s)  influenced the generation of cinematographers today?

How have cinematographers from the black and white era of the 1950s-1970s influenced the generation of cinematographers today?

How have black and white films from the 1950s-1970s influenced cinematographers working today?

MY FORMATIVE PRESENTATION:

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13NXvj7mMiWtX8Ebses0r8a58IXwMOObVtzRXadZ4X3c/edit?usp=sharing

MY FEEDBACK:

- Watch Lighthouse

- Think theoretically

- What is the meaning?

- What effect is conveyed?

- Why have decisions been made?

- What is the meaning of this?

- Filmmakers and their influences now

- FOCUS ON THEORIES

- Why are filmmakers now choosing to work with black and white?

- Make a list of those filmmakers

- Focus a smaller group of cinematographers

- Restricting the field

- Distinctive use of black and white

- Black and white vs colour = Realism

- Bait - CHECK THIS FILM OUT
