Visions of Light

The video was interesting.  I never really looked into early cinematography.  I found it intriguing but a long video.  Some of my favorites that were mentioned were:

-Red Dust (1932)

-The Grapes of Wrath (1940)

-The Graduate (1967)
-Blue Velvet

I found the subject on Film Noir to be very cool.  It still amazing to me all the things I notice outside of just photography when it comes to other things like film or video.  Composition & lighting are always on my mind when I watch tv these days...LOL.

I also thought it was interesting they mentioned to put your shadows anywhere but their faces during a certain time frame.  It's interesting to see the changes that evolved.

Also the question, "What is the basic visual need to tell your story?" was a good thing to point out.  Always something that you need rolling around in your head, no doubt!

But my favorite was the quote......."Think about what will make your clients take away the IMAGES as well as the words!"  Ahhhhhhhhhh LOVE IT!
