Best Cinematography
One of the biggest parts of great filmmaking is definetely cinematography It is a tough job for the cinematographer to picture the directors vision of how he wants the movie and to put it on film. That is why these guys deserve more credit then they usually get. The way the movie is filmed definetely has to do with how entertained and how much the audience will be involved with movie... Here are the nominees for Best Cinematography:
21 Grams
Haunting and very original cinematography was shown in 21 Grams. The mood was set perfectly and the DP sure filmed every important piece of information to fulfill the interesting pleasure that it had.
Irreversible
About eight-five percent of Irreversible was filmed with a continous spinning around. I for one had never seen anything like it and it was truly different and enjoyable for the most part. They hardly had any cuts and that takes talent. It was just all around good filmmaking.
Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King
In each outing of this trilogy the cinemtography has been superb. Return Of The King is no different because it is quite amazing how it was filmed and how the sets were so beautiful. Their was plenty of up high shots and a lot of zoom outs that really stood out the amazing scenery of the film.
Lost In Translation
Such stunning filmmaking was in Lost In Translation. The DP had a huge job here because this film was a lot about character study and he had to catch the facial reactions and play the mood right. It was brilliant filming nonetheless and it made a big impact on how the film is looked.
Master and Commander: Far Side Of The World
Films in the ocean are particularly hard to do in filmmaking. To pull it off as the whole situation is actually in the ocean, the camera movements is very dependent of how it will be witnessed at the end of its completion. Master and Commander gave us some great cinematography and gave a wonderful feel at sea.
The Missing
This may come as odd, but The Mising's cinematography is some of the most surprising of the year. It nailed it for intense scenes and layed it down when battles were going on. At the end of it The Missing will probably be overlooked for cinematography, but I know good cinematography when I see it.
And The Winner Is...
