Okay, for all the money I've spent for film school, one thing I have learned is capturing the mood and image. For my film about Brooklyn I blogged about a week ago, one thing I am dedicated on doing is having a sense of realism to everything. Making the mood, the characters, and cinematography all line up to not just grabbing the audience, but not letting go!
One of my favorite things is shooting photos on my dad's old Chino 35mm still camera from 1976. He got the camera when he was sixteen after someone gave it to him when they ripped off a hardware store. And about three years ago he handed it down to me. Looks like I got a hot camera...
Anyway one of my goals this summer is to take this camera and shoot all of Brooklyn for this business plan focusing towards my next film. Capturing my neighborhood of Brooklyn and expressing the quality and attitude of Williamsburg/Bushwick. Also keeping that grungy old 70s film look. By capturing the sense of realism in photography, I then plan to use this as a platform for my stylistic approach for the film.
