Every Little Helps

Here is an interesting take of a conversation scene in which the camera stays longer on the subject and rakes focus back and fourth between the actors before cutting and reverting back to the pulling of focus. It is an interesting visual and it may not be something I will use, but definitely may help down the road.

This scene here is a nice example of what you can do when you shoot behind your subject. The light from the setting sun brings a lovely colour to the actors face and it gives the impression that the actors are talking in private. We the viewer are behind the subject so they have no idea we are watching them so it feels like we are experiencing the intimacy of the scene without the characters knowledge.

Another Video I came across that tells a short story based solely on a bench. This short film is quite helpful as it was shot nicely, but it was something good to look at as the film was 7 minutes, so the cinematographer had to come up with interesting shots so it wouldn't become boring visually, which I think he did well.
