Cinematography Practice: Roger Deakins Inspired

Credits

Cinematographer
Romantra Spence

What it is

Cinematography, VFX

Overview

A composition and lighting exercise built around shots inspired by the work of cinematographer Roger Deakins. Less about story, more about learning to see a frame the way he does.

Goal

Reverse engineer a frame instead of just admiring it.

Approach

Studied the reference for light direction before touching a camera. Rebuilt the setup with the gear actually on hand. Judged it against the reference frame, not against a finished film.

Have footage that needs cutting, or a film that needs making?
