𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐨, 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐍𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐋𝐢𝐞

₊ ⊹ 𝐄𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐚 ⭑ 𝘚𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘦 ¹ - 𝘓𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘕𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘚𝘰𝘩𝘰 ² - 𝘈𝘭𝘱𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦 ³

The close-up is a shot that frames a subject tightly, usually the face, an object, or a specific part of the body. When it focuses on the eyes, it becomes one of the most powerful cinematic tools

₊ ⊹ 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐟𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: The eyes are the primary channel of nonverbal communication. A subtle movement of the iris, a long blink, or a trembling gaze can reveal love, fear, suspicion, or despair.

₊ ⊹ 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: By isolating the eyes, the director forces the audience to look inward, to connect with the character’s inner state.

₊ ⊹ 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭: A close-up on the eyes breaks the natural distance between viewer and character. It can make us feel profoundly connected or uncomfortably exposed.

₊ ⊹ 𝐒𝐲𝐦𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐦: In cinema, eyes don’t just show — they reveal. They often stand for truth, consciousness, or the hidden soul of the character.

The human eye is often described as a window to the soul, and cinema embraces this idea with intensity.

₊ ⊹ 𝐄𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡: Eyes express what language cannot. A single glance can communicate hesitation, attraction, grief, or terror more powerfully than dialogue.

₊ ⊹ 𝐄𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞: The eye connects directly to the act of seeing, reminding us that cinema itself is a vision — we experience a story through someone’s gaze.

₊ ⊹ 𝐒𝐲𝐦𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐬: Eyes can represent knowledge, surveillance, vulnerability, or even destiny. A dilated pupil may suggest attraction or fear; a tear can condense an entire story of loss.

₊ ⊹ 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐥 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞: Unlike speech, the eyes communicate across cultures. A suspicious glance, a loving stare, or an empty, hollow look can be understood anywhere in the world.

When the camera closes in on the eyes, it doesn’t just magnify a detail of the body — it amplifies inner worlds. The cinematic close-up of the eyes bridges the physical and the emotional, making the invisible visible, turning vision itself into a narrative force.

They love me in Beverly Hills. I’m supposed be off for three days but I’ll be working in Beverly Hills and Malibu as executive protection officer. You know while I’m there I will be networking, shooting and rehearsing with people! Of course before or after my shift #thelastglow #executiveproducer #actor #director #nowcasting #indiemovie #perfectchaos #suicidesqaud #camerashots #lightingdepartment #dreamcast (at Beverly Hills, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CS7sskfhObd/?utm_medium=tumblr

Old school vs. New school. Innovation was done based on necessity. My ideal camera is one that is about the size of a phone but naturally with a better grip. Voice activated and is more comprehensive than Amazon Alexa so that I can say things like “Change frame rate to 120”, and it does it. This new magic camera will be able to capture raw files and store them without compression at 1gb per 20 minutes of 8k 120. I want 50stops of dynamic range. Full frame sensor with a new lens adapter that is universal, so any lens, any brand and any size fits on. I want the in-camera stabilization to be so amazing that it’s now called in-camera-steadicam when turned on and there will be no need for a steadicam or gimbal. It would even have tripod mode where you don’t even have to put it on sticks if you don’t want to. I’d love digital noise to not even exist and have a native iso at whatever you want. If you wanted to brighting things up so bright that you can see in the dark, cool, do it, no noise. lol I’m dreaming over here, but mark my words a similar camera will exist, it’s just a matter of when and how much. Let’s innovate! On a side note, love working with the equipment you have, old or new. Sharpen your skills with the tools you have. That’s top priority. @sony @reddigitalcinema @canon @panasonic @Leica @sigma #cameras #camerastoday #camerastrap #CameraShy #CameraSetupClub #camerashot #camerasetup #camerastraps #camerashoot #CameraStore #CameraSlider #camerastabilizer #camerashootout #camerashots #camerashop #camerasetups #CameraStoreJakarta #camerastyle #cameraskills #camerasupport #cameraswag #camerasanddancers #camerasecond #camerasensor #cameraservice #camerashake #camerashoutouts #camerasrolling #camerasrouges #camerastuff (at Marietta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBietaTJOGx/?igshid=6x48p5eyevms

The OnePlus 8 Pro will use a 48MP main camera, betting on larger pixels rather than chasing megapixel counts as well as a 48MP ultrawide angle cam. CEO Pete Lau’s latest tweet shares two camera samples shot in the dark, as well as two photos from a “another flagship” for comparison. The ultrawide shot has been pixel binned to 12MP resolution. This matches the 12MP photo of the competing phone, however since the EXIF info was stripped, we can’t be sure what it is. The OnePlus phone reveals much more detail in the darker areas, though it looks heavily processed. The next pair of photos were shot with telephoto cameras. The resolution of the OnePlus 8 Pro photo is around 3MP while its zoom camera has an 8MP sensor – so this is likely the result of some night mode (pixel binning, digital zoom or perhaps a bit of both). Lau also posted a short video recorded with the phone – this is a different scene, shot with the sun in the background to test the camera's dynamic range. It also shows off the phone’s video stabilization skills (but it has been downscaled, so not much to say about the image quality). The OnePlus 8 Pro and the vanilla OnePlus 8 will be unveiled in less than a week. Their specs leaked extensively, so we know that those two will be quite different in terms of camera capabilities – the vanilla model uses an older 48MP sensor (IMX586 vs. IMX689) and lacks a telephoto camera. . . . . #oneplus8pro #oneplus8 #oneplus #48mp #camerashots #shotononeplus #oneplusphotography #petelau #ceo #flagships #flagship #imx586 #imx689 #sony #techies_page #techies #tech #technology #usa #china #europe #asia #southamerica #northamerica #canada #mexico #argentina #germany #spain #unitedkingdom https://www.instagram.com/p/B-wplOwAZgm/?igshid=1xfoxpo3ck9mk

The teased Realme smartphone will be equipped with a Samsung ISOCELL Bright GW1 sensor. This a 1/1.72″ sensor with a pixel size of 0.8μm. With Samsung’s Tetracell technology, which implies 4-in-1 pixel binning, the sensor captures output pictures at 16MP with a pixel size of 1.6μm. . Follow @intriginmag . Follow @intriginmag .

Edgar Wright’s Approach to Filmmaking

When you watch one or two Edgar Wright movie, you get familiar with the visuals and camera shots.  His unique method of shot transitioning also stands out with the energetic and quirky mood of the shot types. But in his movies, the thing that  is pointed out the most is his distinct comedy techniques. Fundamentally we can say that he is a cinematic master when it comes to comedy and close-ups. Fast and controlled pace of zooms became his signature with well-known comedies. In addition to his camera shots, he does a good job balancing originality with parody too. About this he gives an example from Hot Fuzz and says “... that was the idea of taking the boring parts of job and fetishizing them and people say ‘oh that is strange and great at the same time’ ...” 

“Not only does he use close-ups as a comedy device, but he also uses them to set the speed of his movies and, in a way, force the edit. He mentions in the video essay that by starting a scene with a close-up, you are essentially giving the editor no other choice but to mark that shot as the beginning of your scene -- which might be an effective method if you have very specific parameters for different aspects of your film.” (V Renée)

Heighten emotions and intensity of the shots gives audience to fulfilly experience the movie. Personally, when i watch his work, i always feel the tension whether they are funny or not (they are always funny). Like its so cringy and cheesy that you see the vision and the humour in the scenes immediately. 

“With each film, Wright picks up a beloved Hollywood genre and transforms it into both a comic masterpiece and stunning example of that tradition.Working with his cohorts, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, Wright created his enduring saga, The Cornetto Trilogy—named after, of all things, a British ice cream treat. Starting with Shaun of the Dead, a hilarious revival of the genre that refuses to die, Wright went on to make Hot Fuzz, a madcap takedown of action films, and then The World’s End, an apocalyptic sci-fi comedy. While each is distinct in its on way, similar themes, gags, and actors knit the trilogy together as a cohesive work and demonstrate the genius of Wright’s craft.” (Focus Features)

Testing some of my shots.

I really liked how the bottom one looks apart from in my scene obviously it’ll be a phone not a laptop. It is slightly grainy though but it isn’t bad night footage.

The coat pictures are testing the focussing by adjusting the f stop.
