Roger Deakins

And...

i i gotta say i love the way that this conversation is is gonna gonna happen right now because we see that that both andy and red are pretty much working in the library and they're both in different rows and their conversation is basically going through you know they're talking to one another through through the bookcases so it's uh this shot is done really well i mean i i know that we've we've mentioned this many many times but roger deakins Really knows how to shoot movies.

Keep them so interesting to watch and listen to.

Yeah, for a scene like this, I would kind of wonder, like, you know, it was the actual initial original script or even shooting script, you know, just had them just had this dialogue happening and no indication of really where they were rather than i mean maybe maybe it says library but doesn't really indicate oh and they're going to the shots are going to be you know going back and forth between you know this view one person's view and the others essentially or just slightly off of it even um and and i could totally see a great cinematographer you know saying hey there's something fun we could do with this we could you know have them One being one aisle, one being the other, and make these shots go back and forth between the

Now, aiding our theme of isolation is the cinematography.

Have to move to that next because I just started breaking down some of the shots, but should probably note that Roger Deakins is a cinematographer for this one, and he is unquestionably one of the best around.

Now, if you're not familiar with Roger Deakins, he's been nominated for Best Cinematography Award 16 times between 1995 and 2023.

So he was nominated more times than he wasn't.

Crazy.

After the Coens went with Barry Sonnenfeld for their first three films, Deakins has served as their DP for 12 of their next 15 films, so definitely a common collaborator there.

Fellow cinematographer Joshua James Richards, who you might know from Nomadland, says of Deacon's work in Fargo, quote, He followed that up by adding that the Coens came up with a story that really works well with the minimalism look.

The perfectly framed shots through the movie, even in mundane places like at the buffet, it makes me feel like I should use Roger Deakins' movies as the template to show my classes how to frame shots.

So for example, Skyfall, I recall that less as a Daniel Craig installment.

And for me, it's more of a Roger Deakins highlight reel.

What of the latest Sense and Sensibility, adapted by screenwriter Diana Reid and directed by Georgia Oakley? This time around, sisters Eleanor and Marianne Dashwood are played by Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esme Creed-Miles, respectively.

And Eleanor and Marianne, along with their younger sister and their mother, must fend for themselves after being booted from their family mansion in the wake of their father and husband's death.

That

was Deakins.

It was Deakins.

But

too gimmicky.
