Shooting pretty angles may make you a sell out cinematographer that every director wants to collaborate but it doesn't mean that the story will benefit purely by shooting pretty! Cinematography is about feeling, story, emotions not about light setups, candy angles and pretty camera movements.

I love how you gave a shout for Romania, as an indoor location shooting. Most of the locations here are cheap and you usually don't have white walls. It also depends where you shoot because in Bucharest (capital) you will find less cool locations then in the other big cities around the country, and I am saying that living in Bucharest. But a "pro" of the capital it is that we have more studios to shoot in then the other cities. If any of you guys want to shoot there an indoor scene I would pick one of these: Timisoara; Cluj; Brasov; or even Bucharest if you want more of a street urban/modern look.

"The only difference between a flare and a highlight is in the day rate." Thanks for recognizing the importance of good Art Direction. Composition pertaining to reveals and vanishing points are made or breaks by lighting. Telling a visual story in :15, :30, even in 1minute requires total control of the viewers eyes. Therefore sometimes boxing in or flatting out the shot sets up a reveal of faster story recognition. A flat or boxed in composition with good light as you've pointed out, creates a sense of pause setting the reveal of the the next frame..IMH. Great videos, entertaining, and very good points of view.

Очень субъективная оценка мизансценирования. Лобовой свет от окна и направления в стену (плоские кадры) в первой части ролика - это абсолютно верное решение, которое работает на передачу эмоционального состояния героя. Первая часть ролика отличается от второй. Она делит ролик на 2 части во в момент приезда курьеров. До их появления с новым ноутбуком было грустно и плоско, поэтому камера иногда была направлена на стены и не работала только с теневой стороной героя. Если бы создатели ролика снимали только с теневой стороны в начале ролика, то все кадры были бы направлены на окно, что не позволило бы создать визуальный контраст со второй частью после появления ноутбука. В ролике отлично видны два мира: бытовой грустный (плоский лобовой) и обновленный (глубокий, контрастный, теневой). Автор видео в своих рассуждениях о кадрах-убийцах карьеры зашел так далеко в субъективном восприятии мира, что забыл, что нет правил в этом искусстве. Солнце не светит только с контрового или сбоку. А люди не встают во время беседы только с теневой, чтобы видеть красивый портрет собедеседника. Убийство карьеры - это закапывать себя в рамки контрового или бокового освещения, которое и так все используют.

Good video but to cut to the chase... the best cinematography starts with good photography... In my humble opinion, a quick rack focus could have helped the reversal of the dog on the bed by providing an in-built transition within the shot and masking the flatness. Had a practical been next to the bed it might have helped the flatness of the bed scene. I had an issue that the coloration of the light in the curtain/shears was colder than the light on the back wall behind the desk. Did the light warm-up as it traveled through the room?

"Don't let the director hear you." Yes. I've even whispered into the actor's ear as a gaffer. Turn your head just a bit to the left and we'll catch that tear. But I would worry less about the geometry of the room. Put in a Quasar or Kino in that bookcase and just make it pretty. The audience, save for a few DPs, won't care...it's pretty. Put a special on the dog...James T. Kirk lived for years with a taped-down Inkie lighting his eyes. Good show, though. Enjoyed it.

Just prior to receiving the book that brightens up the protagonists morning. but then I noticed they return back to the bed. I've not seen the ad in its entirety, so its hard to know if there was any reason to shoot into the corner but if it wasn't intentionally to pull the mood down then yeah, the DP had their work cut out. Lovely and insightful breakdown done well :)

Who gives how you light (as long as light is motivated and it helps the story unravel), who gives what angle you shoot as long as you translate the story/message to the viewer. Dont be pretentious, be an artist and shoot art. Not pretty light setups and cool looking angles. Dont listen to me as well, shoot how you want and be as pretentious as your mom allows you and become a sell out.
