Wally Pfister
A recent picture that has stood out to me is the promo which
was released for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ featuring Tom Hardy as Bane. Cinematographer
Wally Pfister has worked on the
entire trilogy as well having collaborated with director Christopher Nolan on ‘The
Prestiage’ and ‘Inception’. His work is always lit very crisp and clean, as
oppose to the gritty feel one might find in Daniel Pearl’s work (Texas Chainsaw
Massacre original and remake).
For the finishing touches I colour graded the image through
after effects, adding in a title also. The main thing the colour grading helped with was darkening the background as obviously the wall should have been black as oppose to white.
This work was done on a Mac where the picture looked best as a Mac has many shades of black but now that i'm posting it on a laptop I can see I overexposed the white during after effects. Overall however when I'd finished this on the Mac I was quite happy.
What I’ve noticed also is I appear to like creating dark
atmospheric images when it comes to lighting, this, The Third Man, The
Exorcist. I will keep this in mind as my assignment develops.
