Chapter 1 Exercise


The movie I decided to re-watch was Inception. Even when I watched it the first time I thought it had such great cinematography with their amazing special effects, but after the second time I realized what great camera shots they had with just using the basic techniques in the movie. They used montage quite often throughout the movie (flashing back to various of the same scenes in Cobb's memory that he wanted to change; sometimes with just music & sometimes with the memory's sounds). A few examples include what looked like they used a dolly (while following the characters around Ariadne's first dream city), panning (to show the dream worlds when they arrived), and extreme close-ups (to show the character's emotionless faces while they were put on the machines during the dream & also right when they awoke from the dreams). This movie definitely has great camera work worth watching.
