The Royal Tenenbaums by Wes Anderson is considered one of my favourite soundtracks; whilst the film has an original score by Mark Mothersbaugh, it also contains some emotive needle-drops of rock n roll classics from the 60s-90s that aid in revealing characters inner thoughts/how they’re being perceived whilst effectively forming a desired mood.

The film’s compiled of songs from ‘Needle in the hay’ (heartbreaking and powerful) to ‘Me and Julio down by the schoolyard’ (whimsical/playful manner), but ultimately the Tenenbaums songs deal with the more adult issues of loneliness and dissatisfaction (underlying melancholy) aiding to drive the plot.

Description: The cinematographer is responsible for working with the director to discover the most suitable lighting, angles, filters, and movements to achieve the required effect/ meaning. Also know as the Director of Photography, although technical lighting and camera abilities are vital for this role, a clear vision for the intended effect of the film is also as valuable. Cinematographers work very closely with Directors and Writers to find the correct techniques which would suit the overall aesthetic and desired meaning of a film project.

Inspirational Practitioner: I have picked Robert Yeoman for my inspiration as I admire his versatility in being able to seamlessly switch between genres and still produce effective pieces of cinematography. He works closely with Wes Anderson, being a part of every production from ‘Bottle Rocket’ to ‘The French dispatch’. His style in Anderson’s films consists of using varied colour palettes to capture the colours of the set/ costumes and usually soft lighting techniques. Anderson and Yeoman shoot the movies with film stock and anamorphic lenses which give the distinctive visuals Anderson’s films are known for. He has also collaborated with directors such as Wes Craven (‘Red Eye’) and recently Paul Frieg (‘Spy’ ‘Ghostbusters’) in which he produced stunning pieces of cinematography which work effectively with the specific genres and directors. I am personally inspired by Yeoman’s individualistic style and use of colour to increase the aesthetic appeal of a movie, in addition to his versatility working under differing genres and directors.
