Kids and Aspect ratio

Recommended Posts

HI,

Here once again asking things...

 

Any recommendations to what good movies to see where Kids have been the main actors? I want to se how they were shot and especially in the 1.85 aspect ratio. I am really interested in how different cinematographers approached the issue and how they represented through camera the child relation to the world.

Many thanks once again

Miguel

I'm suprised that A Series of Unfortunate Events hasn't been mentioned yet.

Ive always envied Iranian Directors and how they are so good with their child actors.

A lot of Iranian Directors have shot some gorgeous films with child actors in the lead.....

 

 

Abbas Kiarostami: Wheres my friends home -(the earthquake trilogy)

Majid Majidi- Children of heaven . And - Colours of paradise

And a few other directors whose names i cant recall now...

aaah yes Jafar P..... something He made i think "the white balloon"

 

All of them have some gorgeous films with child actors....

 

They probably have the most memorable child performances ive ever seen.

I dont think they were shot 1: 1.85 though

Another great film made with street kids from Bombay and about them was "salaam bombay" by Mira Nair. Shes the lady who made "monsoon wedding".
