The Art of Cinematography
A film by ArnoId GIassman
In the century that cinema has existed, audiences have become increasingIy famiIiar with the names and faces of the men and women who made our movies; from D W Griffith to Steven Spielberg, directors' names have been widely known to their audiences, and the cult of the movie star is almost as old as cinema itself. Often overIooked, however, and seIdom Iess a contributor to the finaI cut than a director, editor, writer or star, is the cinematographer - the DP, the Iightening cameraman - the man, or woman, who creates the image to be recorded in that artificiaI eye, the camera.
Visions of Light goes some considerable way towards redressing that oversight. A study in cinematography, this 90 minute programme features interviews with no less than 29 lighting cameramen and directors who acknowledge and illustrate their infIuences, their mentors, and inspiration over 100 film cIips, and who share with us some of their tactics and secrets.
The programme was originated in a revolutionary format of HDTV (High Definition Television) in an on-screen ratio of 14:9. The many film clips were transferred from their originaI 35mm prints onto the new high definition format, and these are presented in their originaI aspect ratios. lncIuded among the programme's many contributors are Ernest Dickerson, HaskeIl WexIer, Vittorio Storaro and the late Nester AImendros, to whom this film is dedicated.
