I know its a little confused in terms of image choice (i.e. it's from one of our other projects), but it was the best image i had... i'll show the other experiments too.
So I started with this photo of Tilly - I thought it had a certain cinematic quality:
I then cropped it using the same proportions as Leone:
This gives it a certain amount of extra tension and presence. The I adjusted the image and added a filter or two:
The final one i think is the most successful... It's best seen full screen, but i'm sure you get the gist. I also did these two - one terrifying image of John Sutton - due to the 'Glare' it moves into the Kubrick territory - and the other of a snowman:
I'm not really sure where this is going... I think it maybe about the 'affect' - but how could this be brought into the process of capture? Could we design genre specific cameras/equipment?
About a week ago I spent an hour developing a "Fight Club filter" in Photoshop. Not about scale, just about colour/saturation etc.. I didn't save the file. What an IDIOT (add tape).
ReplyDeleteI like the really dark one btw
I quite like the idea of doing it low tech first... so making a series of crop frames at the right aspect ratio and then taking photos physically through them. Also maybe using a light or coloured lens/filter.
Maybe making a rig to hold a camera at a specific 'framing' point from a person, so they are always photographed a certain way.
yes... yes... yes... lo-tech is the way forward... umbrellas, gaffa tape, kitchen foil, coloured paper/cellophane.
