Image and video hosting by servimg.com
Greetings Summer Film School student Hulu! One of the most powerful tools in the arsenal of a filmmaker is his lighting set. For light and color, the photography is able to enhance the mood of a scene and draw the viewer into the world of nature. Even subtle changes in light or color can give ordinary objects a whole new meaning. Explore the role of light and color by the following visual masterpieces.

Mandatory display:

1) The Red Balloon

Camera: Edmond Séchan
Win both an Oscar for best screenplay (original screenplay) and the Palme d'Or for best short film in 1956, is The Red Balloon Albert Lamorisse wrote and directed one of the most popular films of all time children. Its elegant and almost wordless story, tells the story of a young man named Pascal and whimsical world as they navigate through the streets of Paris. From the outset, it is clear Pascal (and the public) that the ball has a will of its own - that is playful and surprisingly tough - as an adventure through the city attracts pair confused looks from adults and the envious racket the local neighborhood.

More than your traditional photography Paris, Lamorisse and his chief of Edmond Séchan Beauty focus on the gray of the city, highlighting the contrast of the wet roads and building for the brightness of the bright red sphere. Lamorisse made the action so that the ball is still bobbing in the middle of the viewer's attention, and weaving fabrics background glorious past, as it happens about Pascal. In a memorable and pleasant scene, Pascal and his red balloon pass by a girl with her own ball, blue. As Pascal retains foot red balloon floats with the girl and began to "flirt" with his blue ball in front of Pascal finally manages to play again.

The film takes a darker turn when the neighborhood bullies trap catch Pascal and his red balloon, subjecting to abuse, at the end of a noose. But this change of tone is because it is important in a magical end which is not spoiled here. Ballon Rouge realized rarefied air, the essence of childhood innocence, sadness and joy on this little screen.

2) Eraserhead

Directed by Herbert Cardwell and Frederick Elmes
Debut of David Lynch is a surreal meditation on the anxieties of parenthood, living in a alienating and dehumanizing world, and feels in a life that is primarily for the tragedy is captured. Photo strict and simple black and white, high contrast lighting to create a world outside of reality. Eraserhead could establish formal comparisons with other works, and may have influences that its technical performance, but the film is timeless in its depiction of Henry (Jack Nance) and Mary (Charlotte Stewart), as she. giving birth to a child who seems to be totally blind

Help The camera work and lighting Eraserhead to one, visually appealing, and safer visceral portrait of an abstraction they always put on celluloid and for that alone, has a place in film history.

3) Electrick Children

Camera: Mattias Troelstrup
A critical favorite at SXSW 2012 Electrick Children tells the story of a young Mormon fundamentalist, he has been impregnated by a rock and companies Vegas to find song singer of the band, she believes that her baby's father thinks he is. While it strange that most intrigue, innocent idealism of our main character, along with the symbolic use of color film and light to the whole a bit more plausible process can make it appear "tape cassette pregnant", is by first.

Throughout the film is set a stark contrast between the landscape and Rachel compound campaign sprawl of Las Vegas. Photography Mattias Troelstrup advantage of the natural light of the country and gives each part a subtle to reflect a sense of comfort, even boredom with the environment desaturation. The soft classification provides a perfect contrast to the subsequent experience of Rachel in Las Vegas, a world of light and great personalities. There is nothing glamorous classical musicians and lazy "Bummin that" Lifestyle Rachel is in her Vegas adventure, but through their eyes unexposed film and the subsequent interpretation of the Troelstrup, everything is in a blaze of Technicolor bathed the child's wonder that Rachel feels to reflect this new world.
