Learning From Cinematography

Why is it important to study films? The answer might sound too trivial to some people. But later I'm gonna explain how essential it is the filmography to our lives.

Now to asnwer that question, we just need to take a loo at what's behind movies. There's a story filled with experiences that may relate to our lives. Naturally, not all stories are based or address to any social or cultural issues, but even the most ficticious one can teach us something.

In my previous post, I analyzed one of the last year's movies that provoked a lot of conversion because how strong it is. You can check it out here: Learning from Joker.

In there I spotted several things movie touches that makes us stop and think about our lives and our society.

Some people, course, watch movies for mere entertainment. That's their prerogative. But even in the mere enjoyment we can take a moment to figure out if the writer or director wants to convey a message.

And if we look carefully we can extract something useful for enjoyable experience. How many times do we keeping about any movie we saw after some hours or even days? All of us have gone through this because movies without warning us can transmit feelings and provoke reactions in us.

For such a reason, films are not just mere entertainment. They are art expressions just like music and painting.

As I implied, movies portray part of society on screen. And this is a terrific opportunity to study the sociology and pshychological aspects.

The way people identify with certain harater in any film is just a connection that enables them feel what the character is going through and even relate to him or her. This is the magic of movies. They can be an album of memories, making us go over and analize our life.
