Cinematographers use a range of framing techniques such as extreme close ups, wide shots and varied angled shots. the significance of this is to create and evoke feelings from the audience.

Cinematography influences the way we feel during films.

Different aspects allude to different things and can change how we are feeling/ how we feel about something whilst watching a film.

For example, a slow zoom toward someone can build suspense and create thrill within us.

Using locations, we can establish where we are in a film whilst creating a good transition between other scenes.

Colours can also be used as metaphors for feelings and moods.

We can also take advantage of sounds and music to create emotions and further establish the mood of the film.

Cinematography is a great way to control how viewers are seeing the film.

# data[].attributes.body
Cinematographers use framing and compositional techniques such as rule of thirds, leading lines and depth while considering placements of subjects and objects which can add narrative to the story. For example, a sad scene can be used to evoke emotion by using wide, long shots with the subject surrounded by negative space to create an isolating and lonely mood.

Focus can be used to tell the story, using a shallow depth of field to bring focus and importance to scene, object or subject. A wide depth of field can be used to tell the story and introduce.

This film captures the authenticity that I want to create perfectly. The handheld camera work adds a documentary like vibe especially during the emotional and disorderly moments in the film.

The soundtrack to the film is also absolutely phenomenal. This adds to the melancholic tone of the film and highlights the dramatic moments even more

The music scene is largely dominated by men. I got to introduce some of my favourite musicians in the Glasgow music scene – Ines Paterson (Dallas Love Field) Nova Ruby (Apparatus) and Lauren Rafferty (Raff). With all musicians having different musical interests we find out about their personal journey and what it is like navigating the music scene as women/non-binary people. This gritty, authentic documentary transports you into the world of current musicians in the electric and current Glasgow music scene.

Lighting is vital as it creates atmosphere. Lighting also helps guide the viewer's eye on where to look, i.e. a specific actor or prop. Lighting helps clarify the genre of a film due to creating an intended mood.

Variations of lighting techniques can effect the moods of a scene.

The strength, size and colour of light around a character can be customised to reflect their emotions.

Shadows and light helps create texture and depth due to the way it changes an object's form

Within interviewing musicians I will be filming intricate and detailed shots of interviewees fidgeting with hands etc. Furthermore, shooting personal belongings of interviewees room which help identify their story will help make the documentary more intimate

I will also include crowd footage of being at Raff's gigs highlighting how audiences engage with female artists

When interviewing Nova. I will walk around their room with them while they talk to me about their upcoming punk projects and jackets that they have designed. This will make the viewers feel that they are in Nova's room which helps build a connection with the viewers and interviewees in the documentary

# data[].attributes.body
I am extremely fond of the extreme close up shots within many of the scenes within this film. This adds a sense of intimacy to the film, therefore making the audience feel connected to the characters.

Furthermore, I am a fan of the neutral tones within the film which makes the film feel natural and comforting

Boom Mic - place overhead with regards to the model. This mic is best for getting rid of external sound from behind the microphone

A cardiod microphone is effective with indoor dialogue

Shotgun mic audio sounds natural and is more effective

Make sure boom mic is just out of frame so it’s as close to the person as possible

Put a dead cat over the mic to get rid of external noises that you can’t control

Lav mic and shotgun mic allows for you to choose from two separate audio files or blend them together to create a full sound

Wireless lav mic is good if the interviewee is far away from the camera

"Rushes" is a term for when all raw footage is shot during the day without editing and then sent to the editor.

The name "rushes" derives from the rapid speed at which the footage needs to be sent to the director

At the end of the day when shooting is over, the editor works so that the rushes are ready for evaluation

The process usually involves transforming footage into a perceivable format which will require syncing the visuals and sound

Single Shot - features one character alone in the frame. The individual character is the primary focus.

Clean Single - no other part of the character is in frame. This is best used to convey isolation

Dirty Single - when there is limited presence from another character in frame

The Two Shot - when two characters are visible in frame, both faces must be visible. This shot conveys the visual representation between two characters

Over The Shoulder Shot - this is the most effective way to cover a conversation. It is a hybrid between. single and two shot. This allows the audience feel included in the moment

POV - when you want the audience to experience the perspective of a character

Insert shot - going extremely tight on detail. Best combined with POV

# data[].attributes.body
This requires no camera movement. This shot is usually captured by putting a camera on a tripod. A static shot is useful when trying to make the character feel helpless

# data[].attributes.body
This is when the camera pulls away from the subject which de-emphasises them. Furthemore, it can help show the context of a scene, setting and tell us more about characters. A pull out can help also help us viewers detach from a scene

Panning is used to create a sense of movement within a scene, reveal more of the surroundings, or smoothly transition between different elements in a shot.

# data[].attributes.body
This technique tilts the camera upwards or downwards. This technique can be used to give a character dominance or vulnerability

# data[].attributes.body
This utilises a dolly movement and lens zoom to create a vertigo effect. The technique can be done in two different ways. The first is by dollying in while zooming out. This makes the background appear bigger in size. The second way is dollying out whilst zooming in. Thus causes the foreground subject to be more dominant than the background.

Trucking - this is when a camera moves laterally from left to right. This technique guides the viewers eye across the screen in a smooth manner. It helps establish characters and the world of the film.
