Continuing from Part 2: Epic Cinematography and Philosophy of 2001 Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick<\/a>:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Also see Part 1 on 2001 Space Odyssey <\/a><\/p>\n You can download all the images used in this series here on Google Drive (274 MB):<\/p>\n The part which also blew my mind: the confusion of perspective:<\/p>\n The next transition scene: note the epic tilted (dutch angle<\/a>) dynamic angle composition of the camera.<\/p>\n And not only that, but note the curved perspective (outlined in pink):<\/p>\n Then the nice mundane scene of “DAVE” (main character) heating up his food, while his co-pilot is watching a live ‘BBC’ stream of themselves on planet Earth:<\/p>\n Lesson: To make a movie feel more ‘real’ put more ‘everyday\/mundane’ scenes into it.<\/p>\n Then we have a nice switch-up in the scene.<\/p>\n First, you get a head-on shot of HAL (the computer) \/\/ (I also like the grid design layout of the shot):<\/p>\n Second, you see ‘Dave’ shot on the right side:<\/p>\n Here are the angles:<\/p>\n Third, you see Dave’s co-pilot mirrored on the left side:<\/p>\n Also angles here:<\/p>\n Lesson: Switch up the camera angles, and play with symmetry to make more effective visual-storytelling.<\/p>\n Also a fun note: I guess Kubrick nailed the concept of the ‘iPad’ watching-while-eating cultural norm!<\/p>\n Then you see a nice shot of the crew in their ‘hibernation pods’:<\/p>\n Note the orientation of the astronaut in the hibernation pod (quite horizontal).<\/p>\n This is important because in the next scene, the orientation of the astronaut in the pod changes:<\/p>\n Then a wider shot of the two astronauts on board, in their life pods:<\/p>\n Then a close-up of the UI of their life support (very important to pay attention to, when later on in the film something…bad…happens to them):<\/p>\n And who is the benevolent individual looking over them? Oh, our trusty HAL computer:<\/p>\n Then this angle\/perspective switch is great– you can “see” from HAL’s perspective, via his fisheye lens — looking (kind of creepily) at the crew:<\/p>\n This is great as a technique, because it ‘puts you in the shoes’ (or in the eyes) of HAL. You can see what HAL sees– which makes you (the viewer) more engaged in the movie.<\/p>\n Then a nice fun scene: you get Dave sun-tanning (I guess this is how you need UV\/sun radiation while in space), while he is calling his family back home (his parents wish him a happy birthday), and mention about his “earth credits\/salary being increased” — which is hilarious, because what is the point of earning money, when you’re alone in a spaceship?<\/p>\n Visually, I love the colors of the hyper-orange sun glasses, and the shifting movement of Dave in the seat (he also asks HAL to constantly adjust the height\/seat of the chair):<\/p>\n This closeup of the video call terminal almost looks like a painting.<\/p>\n First of all, note the proportions of the squares (outlined in cyan and pink):<\/p>\n Even note the beautiful compositional proportions in the close-up of the family in the terminal:<\/p>\n Even see the negative space between the mom and father’s head from the background:<\/p>\n Now see it abstracted, in terms of the color combinations and the composition:<\/p>\n Love the aqua greens on the left of the frame, orange of his glasses, and the purple on the right of the frame:<\/p>\n Another masterful Stanley Kubrick shot.<\/p>\n First, you start with a high angle, birds-eye-view (looking down) at Dave, of him sketching something. Then as you pan out, you get confused with the perspective of his co-pilot (that is shot head-on). Then Dave changes his position, and sits down. Absolutely epic:<\/p>\n Then one of the most iconic scenes, the first time Dave walks through the epic tunnel of lights, and the leading lines, with his red suit:<\/p>\n All photos:<\/p>\n More to come in Part 4…<\/p>\n Cinematography and life\u00c2\u00a0lessons:<\/p>\n Continuing from Part 2: Epic Cinematography and Philosophy of 2001 Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":88880,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-88802","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-posts"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/0-walking-through-entry-red-suit.gif?fit=864%2C544&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88802","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=88802"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88802\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":88905,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88802\/revisions\/88905"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/88880"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=88802"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=88802"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=88802"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
