In The Frame – Reflection 7

As someone who has the hobby of photography, I enjoy capturing moments in time. Framing them correctly and bringing the moment to life, frozen in time forever.

I believe my hobby of photography helps me when it comes to filmmaking because I understand how to frame and capture each moment.

With photography, you’ve got to tell a story with one single frame. In film you’ve got to tell a story with many.

I love movies that have those shots, which you could take and it would be like a beautiful photo or even a painting. Blade Runner 2049 is one movie that comes to mind. Each frame of this movie is beautiful. It brings you into the world and makes you sit there in awe.

I try to bring my knowledge of capturing a photo into my films, but I don’t particularly want to go into cinematography. However, this knowledge is still crucial to understanding what I want from the films I make. Making the audience going ‘wow’ is my aim.
