Poessessor [2020]: A study in cinematography
This is a small study on cinematography that I put together while watching a film called Possessor.
A well written script will draw the audience in with moving dialogue and thoughtful story arcs.
A beautiful score will bring us to tears or make our hearts race as we are involuntarily drawn into the world.
An amazing performance will connect us with people we've never met, could never know, and will never become.
A perfectly shot, simple scene, however... is the vessel that all of this hinges upon. Powerful and well constructed cinematography will catapult even banal writing and cheesy performances to greatness and memorable experiences.
Expect greatness, demand greatness. This is the level of quality we should expect out of all of our media.
