Cinematography : When the fear of going wrong IN ONE SCENE. In the words of PHOTOGRAPHY DIRECTOR RODRIGO PRIETO by John January Noble

Great share, John January Noble! Thank you!

Thanks for sharing, John January Noble.

There's a part in the article that says "I remember Scorsese saying, ‘No, we don’t need to see the house explode. We’re with the characters'."

That reminds me of what some filmmakers do. They show the moments leading up to an expensive scene (an explosion/car chase/etc.) and the moments after the expensive scene. That way, the audience knows the expensive scene happened without it being shown on screen. Screenwriters can do the same thing when they write scripts.

Ashley Renee Smith your welcome

Maurice Vaughan Exactly, depending on the situation you have the actor with you on the line. I really admire Martin Scorsese Vaughan's work, he's the kind of gentleman in what he does. And Rodrigo is on my list of PHOTOGRAPHY DIRECTORS.

it can also be a way to shield the audience from horrors that may be too much. When Sid, the bad kid in Toy Story, blows up a toy, we never see the toy blow up - that might be tough for the audience - we just see him light the fuse and Woody’s face in horror when we hear the explosion.

Great post John January Noble! yeah that type of subjectivity can be powerful depending on the scene and how it's used. Love this discussion!

Sam Sokolow Well remembered!

Nick Phillips Great ! It was a hook after your penultimate post that talked about INARRITU AND TOM. It was next door.
