    Hi everyone, I just want to share these two frames from Michael Bay's Pain & gain movie (Attached images), in which we can notice that there is dark edges on the periphery of those frames (1st one just in the upright side). whatever are they ( matte box, or helicopter leg in the aerial shot) My question is, is this acceptable in filmmaking business !? especially when we are talking about blockbusters like Michael bay's ones ? if yes !!! why should we do this ??

    Hi everyone, Again with some fundamentals about storytelling, with no doubt camera movements have a lot of effects on storytelling (dolly, Truck, panning, tilting, sliding, steadycam,..) or Handheld, how does camera movements effect the storytelling, what are the meaning of all those movements ? whats the difference for example between moving the camera toward the subject face in a fast way or in a slow way? when we use the camera steady on a tripod and when we slide it slowly ? what the difference between for example shooting an OTS handheld or steady on tripod or Sliding it ? there is a lot of camera movements does any one can advice on a book or an article discuss all those movements with their meanings please. Attached is screen shot from United 93, a very realistic movie from Paul Greengrass when he shot most of it handheld.

    Thank you Gregory and sean, I appreciate your replies, I am not really good with film, I am a pure Digital guy however I am really captivated with film look and I like really Nolan films ( Wally pfister always nail it) but there is somthing that still confusing me, what do you mean exactly by drama !? 2:35 or 2:40 go better with drama !? incase yes, why did Roger Deakons or Denis Villeneuve chose 1.43:1 or 16:9 to shoot Prisoners ( shot in Film also) as it was really a drama genre ! thank you

    Hi everyone, I am a very new "Cinematographer/director" I have no experience and I am trying to learn some fundametals, some of the questions come to my mind about frame Aspect ratio, Why would a Cinematographer choose 16:9 over 2.35:1 for example or vise versa ? and how does this effect the story? And there is some movies where you can see both of tha aspect ratio like for example Chris Nolan's Batman the dark knight rises where he used 35 mm in most of the movie where the aspect ration are 2.35:1 or so and Imax 65 or 70 mm in a lot of the scenes where the aspect ratio is 16:9. doesn't this effect the harmony of the film ??
