    In this episode of Cinematography Style I’ll be analysing the work of contemporary indie and big budget darling, cinematographer Bradford Young. By engaging with his philosophy on his visual filmmaking style, and breaking down the technical gear he uses, we’ll see how those factors contribute to his creation of personal, naturalistic and subtlety engaging images.

    I remember watching an interview with Bradford and -paraphrasing here- he said ' the first thing I do when I prep a room to shoot it, is blackout everything. The ceiling the floor and the walls that won't be shot'. He really loves that negative fill.

    • @InDepthCine
      @InDepthCine  Před 4 lety +15

      Great quote. Exactly, it's part of the key to his 'dark' look. His interview videos on CookeOpticsTV are also super helpful and interesting.

    This is a brilliant breakdown. I always wondered how he got such soft lighting in Arrival!

    • @InDepthCine

      Natural light shaped with negative fill, practical light sources and diffusion, diffusion, diffusion.

    Amazing breakdown, definitely going to be using the bounce, diffusion, negative fill technique. Thanks for sharing

    • @InDepthCine
      @InDepthCine  Před 3 lety

      Thanks. All are techniques that can really soften and elevate the look of the lighting for relatively minimal expense (all it takes is having black or white pieces of fabric).

      The Bradford weighs more than the Alexa. Maybe we could introduce a new metering system. "How many Bradfords does this camera weigh or something?"

    I thought his stye was perfect for Arrival but I remember thinking how much I didn't like how Solo looked at the time. Just my taste but way too flat for that film for me. Good for him for not compromising his vision though, up to the producers who they hire at the end of the day.

    I liked how solo looked. I dont get the hate. It embodied how much more ground level that story was. some of the best looks in the saga

    • @tatehildyard5332
      @tatehildyard5332 Před 2 lety +1

      Interesting because I personally don’t agree. I felt that the dark, monochrome look clashed with the film when trying to be whimsical and I just straight up had a hard time seeing the characters in certain scenes. I like Young’s style, it just didn’t work for me in Solo. That being said, I’m glad that you enjoy it and do not wish to invalidate your take. Merely to elaborate on your perspective on it. Also, hell yeah! Shooting close with wide angle lenses for the win!

    The cinematography was the one redeeming factor in 'Solo', (a film notable for making the coolest character since Rick from Casablanca the least cool character in big budget movie history). A movie so bad it kind of ruined Han retroactively in the first trilogy, seriously I re-watched Star Wars ('A New Hope) and when The Kessel Run came up I cringed knowing that 1) it's not an actual badass achievement, and 2) it wasn't even Han piloting it.
    Rant aside, it was a beautifully shot film.
