why are you going to reddit?

What a bunch of pretentious faggots

>>80373247

He's right though. A lot of directors are just as cinematically illiterate as most audiences.

I think that's just you being anti-intellectual, stupid garbage. You're always hiding behind irony so you get triggered when people are forthright with their opinions and tastes because it reminds you of what a shameless, pathetic coward you are.

>>80373247
I like good cinematography too but there are a lot of directors who do it well. They probably "ironically" watch shitflicks and cape garbage and then whine about how there are no good movies anymore.

>>80373434
That makes no sense.

>>80373247
>so few directiors/ camera [sic] with seemingly no artistic or compositional ability

so is he saying that most everyone in the industry is a good director?

>>80373340
As opposed to people here constantly saying
>wow this is totally kino
>no it's a meme and its garbage

Such great intellectual discourse about film here

>>80373450
>shameless, pathetic coward
we're talking about films not storming normandy you autist

>>80373340
Each sentence is crafted in a way that makes it an ironic faux pas,
>this absolutely mundane thing gives me intense sexual gratification that I cannot control
while still being as inoffensive and as middle ground as possible. Because the statement is presented as lighthearted, they can come back against any reply by saying they aren't being serious, or that it's just a joke. Every Reddit comment is designed to be as inoffensive as possible while providing efficient quips.

>>80373498
At least we're not pretending.

What's the joke here? That this poster unironically enjoys cinema? lol what a kek! Im just here for le memes!

>>80373448
It's saddening that most people here only hate on Reddit to deflect from the fact they actually browse that place.

We need a fucking purge. At least with calling out Gaia, ebaumsworld, etc. there was a semi-ironic tinge with those posts. But Redditors, no. They're actually here.

>>80373525
Yea totally edgy and authentic bro. Normies just cant handle our style.

>>80373483
cinematographer is a job title
essentially he is a photographer who sets up the shots and thinks of ways to get a specific shot down on film
he is a photographer but when it comes to crediting him they wont call him a photographer because plebs will think all he did was take snap shots for the characters in the film to look at during a scene or something

what you are talking about when people say good "cinematography" is actually good photography
its a misnomer
idk why i told you all this, i shouldve just let you guys keep making yourselves look like pretentious tryhards but hey now you know

This board does the exact same thing, you just call it kino like a bunch of memeing retards.

>>80373553
Redditors make up the majority of all the big boards, a purge would only mean good things but it's realistically impossible

I have never visited Reddit and I never will and don't care if you're crossposting pleb but bringing different site culture is the cringiest most awful shit you can possibly do and it makes me hate you, you undying faggot.

>greentexting on Reddit, YouTube, Twitch, Twitter whatever
>saying "tfw" or "mfw"
>making threads about Reddit drama or subreddit shit (I see this shit especially on /fa/, /mu/, and sometimes /lit/)

Please fucking stop, this is "le 9gag army" levels of embarrassing and you don't seem cool or smart, you just like like a fucking asshat.

4chan doesn't have a political affliation, it's a website where retarded, stupid manchildren come to shitpost seeing shit like >>80373448 just makes my blood boil because it's obviously a brain dead reddit user that uses /tv/ and he wants to justify himself doing so by saying "oh no le /tv/ is just like us, total spineless faggots that don't have any opinions Bernie amirite?"

The whole
"Le 4chan is a place where intelligent people come to act dumb and Reddit is a place where dumb people act smart xD" is gay as fuck, if you're on 4chan you're a social abortion and if you're on Reddit you're a pretentious tryhard

The visual narrative is the most important aspect.
Quality cinematography isn't just empty pretty pictures but actually telling the story using visual narrative through framing and composition and the performances.
So the context is important, you can't judge it by a screenshot alone.

There is technically bad cinematography, like too strong obvious night scene lighting or breaking the 180 rule for no reason.
And there is bad cinematography because of the lack of actual substance, empty pretty pictures which only fill the form without actually using framing and composition to propell the visual narrative.
And I think the second one is a bigger problem in today's industry because everyone can learn basic photography and produce balanced pictures, but it takes talent/vision to be able to actually tell the story through the visuals.

>>80373566
Except film has the element of time and movement where photography is a still image.

>>80373566

Because photography doesn't involve motion, only stills.

I don't even understand what you are trying to say, that everyone who is calling themselves a "cinematographer" should be called a photographer?
So Roger Deakins would be a famous oscar nominated photographer?

I sincerely hope you are just baiting

>>80374725

why do you think its right?
because youre a pleb follower who only knows about movies on a surface level
if you actually went to film school you would know this
and people in the industry say "cinematography" because they know film making is esoteric and dont want to confuse people

>>80375044

>>80375125
That guy>>80375144 probably doesnt know what esoteric means lol

>>80375125

Because it involves movement, unlike photography which is just single frames.

As I said, every cinematographer is a photographer, but most photographers aren't cinematographers

You "forgot" to answer it.

>>80375186

you probably looked up "cinematography vs. photography" on google and are just repeating what you found there
