He did not receivr his first camera until he was twelve, and when he did he started to record everything he saw. He did not want to go to the army so he went after another career which was directing. His first work that was related to the cinema was working as a cable person in “La Vispera (1982)”. His first job as director was in a short film called “Vengeance Is Mine (1983)”. His first job in the U.S. was directing an episode of “Fallen Angels (1993)”. Cuaron is famous because of movies such as Y Tu Mama Tambien, Children of Men, Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban, and Gravity. He made Gravity at the height of his career as a director. Although this movie does not have many cast members, Cuaron’s phenomenal job brought many awards for this movie. Also, Cuaron was benefitting from big names such as George Clooney (leading actor), and Sandra Bullock (Leading actress) in his movie with helped him a lot in the Box Office, and getting audiences’ attention to this …show more content…
To make this movie as what we saw, the director and other crew members had to use two main techniques; first, Cuaron used many wide shots to show the location that the movie takes part. The whole time during the movie Earth is in the background which reminds the audience that the characters are in space. Second, the director used many special effects and CGIs to create an atmosphere that was as authentic as possible. The explosions, camera and characters’ movements, and equipment used in the movie were mostly using CGI and visual effects. The other feature that is obvious in Cuaron’s movies is that he loves long tracking shots. Long shots are one technique that he always has in all of his movies. If we watch Cuaron’s movies and compare them to each other, he is not the same person. For instance, the Cuaron who made Y Tu Mama is not the same Cuaron who made Gravity. He is more mature, more technical, and a better filmmaker than what he used to be; but long shots were, and still are, and I think will always be parts of his movies. In Gravity his long shots are more complicated. He was saying in his interview with “The New York Times” that he had to make animations of each scene before he could start shooting the scenes. There are not many cuts in the filming of Gravity because he felt it is not beautiful, and as I mentioned he loves single long shots which makes his movies very
The place where all this happened was in Chicago where you see Skyscrapers and tall buildings which is quite impressive in the film. No doubt the visual team has done a great amount of work just to make sure how the impressive cars, robots and technological stuff look good on screen and they do although as a producer it seems that a lot of money has been invested in the
The second way why cinematography made the film is because the camera shots during the film were very close to one other. It did become kind of confusing many times during the film. Now you would see medium shots more than any other one during the film. There were also long shots that were shot alongside the medium shots so long shots would
It is perhaps the blocking from the director and the skills of the actors though that makes this performance so wonderful. The technique of layering was used by both in how
“Cesar Millan is a Mexican-American dog trainer, author, and TV host his net worth of $25,000,000”. In 1969, Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico Cesar Millan was born, when he was a child Cesar had “a great relationship with animals” and then from this he got the nickname "el Perrero", or "the dog boy", while growing up. He was 21 years old when he arrived in the United States, he got a job in a dog groomer after that he set up the Pacific Point Canine Academy. A few years after that, Cesar created his own “Dog Psychology Centre in Los Angeles” for a range of dog breeds.

In 2009, he created his first magazine, called “Cesar's Way", which was about dog training and talks about how pet owners can develop a healthy relationship with their pet. After “The Dog Whisperer” show ended in 2012, he made a new documentary series, called "Leader of the Pack", in 2013, and a new series, called "Cesar 911", in 2014. “Some of Cesar's training techniques have been questioned over their assumed inhumanity”.

The way Godard uses camerawork and editing in the film is another way that he uses forms and standards of cinema in order to purposefully draw the audience’s attention to the filmmaking process. In classic Hollywood cinema, spatial and graphic continuity editing is extremely important, and often worked to perfection. Editing in Breathless is not used to advance the storyline or show continuity between scenes, but to echo the rhythms of everyday life. There are many jump cuts throughout the movie, which is considered a sin in classic cinema. The interesting thing about the jump cuts is that the dialogue continues uninterrupted despite these choppy cuts.
At a very young age of eight, David Fincher’s passion for cinema grew when he was inspired by the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969). Born in 1962 Denver, Colorado, David Fincher moved to Ashland, Oregon in his teens, where he graduated from Ashland High School. During high school, he directed plays, designed sets, and managed lighting after school. One summer, he and a friend attended the Berkley Film Institute’s summer program, where he hoped to learn film as a true art form but instead was taught the technical production. Either way he was happy to engage is this and as his early film industry career started, he was a production assistant at his local television news station. Years went by as he directed propaganda films followed by becoming a well-known music director until his first movie feature debut Aliens 3 in 1992. However, the American director David Fincher didn’t become a modern 21st century visionary until his creation of the film Se7en (1995). The huge success from this film started Fincher’s popularity in the film industry. From there he continued to make ironic movies we know today such as: Fight Club (1999), Zodiac (2007), The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008), The Social Network (2010), Gone Girl, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
The other scene that had good example of cinematography was when the Avengers circled up, and was fighting together when the group of aliens were fighting them. The shot used was an medium long shot, and the angle was an high angle. The camera was rotating at every
In 1997, James Cameron produced and directed the still prominent movie, “Titanic”. This is truly one film I can watch time after time and still be amazed by not only the acting, but also the wardrobe, famous lines, and special effects.
Cosentino was born on 2 November 1982 in Victoria, Australia to an Italian family. When he was a young boy, Cosentino stumbled across a magic book in a library which he was fascinated by. His mother helped him read it, since as a child, he had learning difficulties that he says magic helped him overcome. As well as this, at age 13, his mother got locked out of the house one day, and to get inside Cosentino had to pick the locks. In lock picking he found a unique skill that he developed and honed. Cosentino also says that he gained confidence through his magic performances. As a boy growing up and to this day, Cosentino admires Harry Houdini saying, "As a child some children had action figures of Superman....but Houdini, he was my superhero". He attended Wesley College,
In this movie, different filmic techniques are used, however, in my opinion, they are not very effective and thus it fails to improve or contribute to the success of the movie, which I believe it should. The filming techniques used in
Kubrick’s and Villeneuve’s strength is the framing. In Space Odyssey an enormous number of scenes that show central perspective can be seen. A very strong scene is the one in which David and Frank are inside the space pod and talking about HAL. This shot indicates a vanishing point in the center of the frame. Kubrick enhances the depth by dividing the frame in a foreground and background; David and Frank are in the foreground whereas HAL is in the background (cf. Kargl 134). Kubrick often uses the central perspective to create additional depth. Although the persons and objects that are filmed by a camera are three-dimensional the screen on which the film is shown is a flat surface. Therefore, Kubrick uses certain perspectives to enhance the three-dimensional effect. Villeneuve on the other hand uses the perspective to guide the audience. A lot of Arrival’s scenes show guiding lines that lead to a vanishing point. Sometimes the camera pans to that vanishing point. Sometimes he guides the audience towards the object of

The cinematography is by Bert Glennon. The expectations for this film is that it has to be western because it’s the genre. The movie needs to have action and movement. And have a heroic character. The expectations are high since a lot of people watch Western genre. I don’t see any manipulation of space and time.
Gravity has an important role in many things, this including, but not limited to, how stars are made, how planets orbit, and rings around planets. It can make rings, and it can also make black holes, that destroy rings, and the planets they are around. It pushes galaxies apart, and also pulls the smallest of atoms to the center of the Earth. Gravity has an important role in space and time, along with our lives.
Firstly the directors and their team use a variety of different camera techniques to shape our view on the characters, and ultimately
