Cinematography!!

Wikipedia defines cinematography as "the making of lighting and camera choices when recording photographic images for cinema"

If my teaser trailer was to be exhibited in the world of cinema it would be distributed in an arthouse cinema because it is not going to be made on a major scale. This means that the imagery of the this would be much different to imagery from a blockbuster. To illustrate my point I will put down to images, one of a blockbuster and one of an individually produced movie and then comment on how they look different.


This is an example of an arthouse film and a shot which has been used from the film. This shows many of the main characters in the shot just looking at the camera. The background of this film is also suitable for when this film is supposed to be set in and therefore establishing the time period brilliantly. On another point, this means that when I make my teaser trailer it wont have many elemants in which my target audience will have to look at. This means that there isn't that much cinematagraphic images in there that woud make it approproiate to use on the cinema scale. This is the sort of thing that I will need to establish when making my teaser trailer because I would be exhibiting this film in an arthouse cinema because it attracts my target market and the images that I will use wont be suitable to use in a multiplex cinema.


This film is a blockbuster and the cinematography for this movie establishes all the main character by using close up of their faces. This is because the target market will associate with the actors better. This is a convention of these sorts of movies because showing close up of the actors' faces means that we can judge whether the movie is any good because of who is in the shot. Also, Inceptio is a very good example of using great cinematography. This is because when the action sequences show up on the multiplex cinema, everyone is mesmerized in the cinema because there is so much in the shot that if you were to watch it on a small screen, the viewers would miss certain elements which make the shot amazing.
