Film

Film is more than people think. My love for film comes from the creative freedom you have with it and the many possibilities you can do with it. I’m particular in love with cinematographers that make videos for themselves. Most of the cinematographers use DSLRS to film which makes it easier for me to replicate this. These independent cinematographers use creative way to project emotions and scenes in their film. Often this is made without paid actors or an entire Hollywood production team. People involved in this project are usually people who started filming in their teens and have a great passion for it. The editor’s, directors, camera men and special effects people are usually not professional yet but they have creative minds and want to use it. There are many kinds of films made by people like this. Music videos, documentaries, short films, movies. My biggest inspiration is an old friend of mine, Rickard Bengtsson. He makes creative videos with his girlfriend where he films directs and edits the video. One example is a video he made a month ago called “Enchanted Forrest” in this video he captures the beautiful autumn light in a beautiful brown/green forest for this video he used no camera stabilizers, everything was filmed handheld. This inspired me to try this out for myself but of Corse I couldn't get the same results as he did. Another example of a great cinematographer is Claudiu voicu is a man who made a short film called “Storm Origins”. This film is about 3 free runners that are fighting for a job. What I particularly like about this film is the cinematographer was making this without any safety precautions and the stable follow shots. I would like to make a video like this if I could. My dream is ultimately to be making independent films, meaning without a movie studio. There is always something new you can make with cinematography if you have the skills for film you can easily get recognized. In this new media era cinematography is an , as some say “hard” profession since illegal internet downloading has cut back the revenue of the film industry, because of this in some years’ time the studios will be going for cheaper directors.
