Be real with me. Do directors actually take this much time to plan out every scene to be just right or do they wing it and then youtubers praise them as being legends and over analyze everything?
>>214497107Those youtubers babble horseshit trying to milk some views. We have a say for that kind of speech: 'pouring nothing into the void'Dont pay any attention to it.
>What is cinematography There's always someone directly in charge of precisely that, OP.
Framing and camera work is important but youtubers etc. who draw pretty lines like this and invent relationships that nobody cares about are over intellectualizing it to reel in suckers and toot their own horn. All the best directors are just eyeballing their way through it, many even leave the camera stuff to someone else entirely.
>>214497107It’s more of an artist being able to see something and go>hmm that looks good like that And then YouTubers going into the autistic minutiae of why human perception is pleased by the image because they themselves have no artistic sense or ability
Kubrick used to make models and plan how he would set up his shots with mini people. Spielberg took this idea from him too. How the people are positioned in the frame is just as important as the framing itself. Filmmakers in the 30s and 40s worked this out. Its called blocking,
>>214497107It's the latter. Tarantino is a hack.

>>214497417>compositions like that come naturally >compositions like that are heavily storyboarded beforehand Which is it?
>>214497357Kubrick planned a lot but he also advocated for holding off on a lot of stuff until he was on set, so he could find it through the creative process, including shot choices and performances. That's part of the reason he holds records for some of the longest movie shoots.
