Robert Giampa Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 I just saw Suspect Zero last night, and I noticed that the film was extremely grainy, looking almost as if it was shot on 16mm and blown up for projection. Of course, I am no expert... I have come to expect that 'grainy dark look' in every serial killer movie because of Se7en, but in this case it seemed almost unintentional! Add to that what also seem to be ND filters used to make some of the daylight scene shots look a lot darker. Hey, that's fine with me, but a lot of the scenes don't really match very well. All of this leads me to think that these decisions were not really thought out or at least just not used too well... but that's just my opinion, and I don't want to diminish the achievement of actually shooting and completing a film, no easy task. Anybody else have an opinion? (uh oh, I asked for it! hahaha) -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted August 30, 2004 Premium Member Share Posted August 30, 2004 The director's last film, "Shadow of the Vampire", was shot in Super-35 using Vision 800T and was rather grainy -- maybe a similar approach was done here, although that would not be typical of Michael Chapman's work. I haven't seen it so I can't say if it's particularly grainy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Elhanan Matos Posted August 31, 2004 Premium Member Share Posted August 31, 2004 Does anybody know how they got the grain so large in the black and white scenes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
