BLOG QUESTION ADV: MAKING BEAUTIFUL IMAGES

What are some key things that you learned in this video? What is Deakin's approach to cinematography? What makes his work so beautiful?

Deakin doesn't have a "set" style to his cinematography, he constantly adapts to the project depending on the genre and message of the film. Some of the techniques he utilizes includes Silhouttes (denies the viewer information about the character, forcing them to look at the background and analyze the scene itself). This creates mystery to a character, drawing the audience in. He also utilizes practical lightings to create a realistic and convincing look to the scene. Practical lights can even be lights based on your environment (e.g. the different lighting on the planets in blade runner).
