Reverie and the DSLR Revolution
I picked this picture because when filming this, you didn't have to add much in order to get the lighting and its effect from going dark to light. The lighting is usually found in tunnels. I specifically picked this still image of the lighting because it could symbolizes the good and bad times in life. The character is traveling to find this one lady so he can give flowers to her and the long narrow tunnel resembles the on going adventure to find her. The lighting in the tunnel filters the shot to look black and white. This shot is used to show us the urgency the character has to find the women through the continually changing of lights and the speed of the car. The camera the Laforet uses, the canon eos d5 allows for his footage to be so vivid. In this shot the lighting is blown out to where you can't see anything, but it is perfect to the extent that you can still see the tunnel as it extends farther down. Usually when a light is aimed towards the camera, the camera self adjusts its self so that the lighting isn't to bright, but this camera takes in the reality of all shots. The lighting for the camera is just a minor detail to refocus on, but it doesn't make a big effect on the rest of the shot.
This shot caught my eye because of the lighting that is mirrored onto the water behind the lady. In a big city like the one in the shot, you may be able to see this with your naked eye if you find the right location. The lighting in the shot is very real and the director didn't have to add any effects in order to get this shot to be the way it is. The black and white lighting in the background really makes the women in the red dress stand out while it isn't over contrasted. We can tell from this image that the pixels the camera has reveals to us every little detail in the lighting that we normally wouldn't see with a normal camera. During each shot, the setting is usually taken place at night, so the lighting really stands out in the city. I believe that the city at night with all the lights symbolizes romance. I believe it symbolizes romance because at romantic times usually, its dark with light or candles. The camera's ability to capture such vivid images allows us to see the ripples in the water let alone, make out everything around the women. Lastly in this shot, we notice that the women has a spotlight on her. The vastness of the background lighting and the simplicity of the spotlight on the foreground/women represent the loneliness as the women is waiting.
In this shot, the lighting is really interesting. Laforet reveals to us his interest and what he is looking at through the reflection through is sunglasses. The camera really focuses on the man in the plane as he looks upon the city filled with lights as it starts to get dark outside. Laforet is well known for his picturesque aerial landscapes. He is well known for being up in the air while collecting his footage. He also shots a lot of footage in low lighting. When up in the air, there isn't going to be much light especially while the sun is going down. But the camera's super low f-stop allows the camera to shoot in the low lighting. If you notice, the city in the background is blurry which draws our attention to the young man and the reflection on his sunglasses. Laforet is also well known for his selective focus in his shots from up in the air. Because of the reflection through the young man's sunglasses we can see the extreme detail that the camera can pick up. (* I would die to have this camera with this type of power to capture this footage!)
