A cinematographer is in charge of the camera and the decision of which camera angles to use such as low angle shot or a high angle shot and the lighting such as side lighting or back lighting. They’re responsible for choosing a style for the film and they choose how each scene is framed. Cinematography is the art of story telling by using camera angles, lighting, zoom, focus and more. They are needed in pre and post production by planning out the scenes, shooting them and then combining them. A cinematographer that inspires me is Bruno Delbonnel who worked on Amelie. His style consists of a dreamlike soft light scenes which rely on having a warm tone and uses lots of yellows and green. His lighting tends to be soft lighting or big lights far away which makes the subject stand out against the background. He tends to light the subject from the side or behind so to add to the dreamlike effect and make the lighting not too harsh, he also positions the camera faced on the front of the character. With the combined tactics Bruno Delbonnel uses in his cinematography he can achieve a dreamlike style.
