The Cameraman

Undoubtedly, Patricio Guzmán is an accomplished and gifted filmmaker with his talents evidently shown in both his documentaries La Batalla de Chile and Nostalgia de la Luz. Both documentaries pertain to the coup d'état, which occurred in 1973 in Chile, that overthrew the legally elected socialist President Allende, and subsequently began the autocratic and oppressive rule of the dictator Pinochet from 1973 to 1990. While both movies concern the same subject matter, the prominent distinction…

The film literally follows a man with a camera around four soviet cities. Not only does it show a cameraman at work it also shows the editing process with Vertov’s own wife as the editor.

All news stations, for long periods of time, covered the BP explosion and informed the viewers of the pipes from the ship that leaked oils into the Gulf of Mexico. I remember feeling panicked. There was an increasing lump in my throat when the cameraman zoomed in on the pictures of beautiful beaches turned to toxic waste areas. I kept wondering to myself how I could help and how I could make a difference. That is when I started to research. I researched all different careers that involved…

illness in new papers is centered around the word dangerous, as a way to describe those suffering from a mental disorder (2003).

committing homicides and suicides almost every day. If we want people to stop dying from guns, then we need to ban guns. First, guns are constantly being shot at other people. In 2015, a reporter named Allison was brutally shot along with her cameraman Adam during a live interview (Donohue). People like these reporters are dying because of their job and what they say about where they are at doing a report. During the June of 2014, there was a school shooting in Charleston, and that caused…

Jake Elliott woke up from his six hours sleep at five in the morning. That was his usual time to get ready for the day. He showered after his morning run, got dressed, and spent his days either inside or outside of his home. The first thing that he did was his work as a freelance journalist and edited some of the articles that he was working on. They were about the lamest things that you could imagine. He listened to the popular radio station in both Baltham and Bainbridge Island: 91.3 The Mesh.…

and the Visual and performing arts concert. These memories are very important because I had picked up different experiences working on these variety of school events such as moving props around, working on microphones, adjusting sound, and being a cameraman. What these positions all had in common was the fact that I helmed the task of responsibility and that had soon better developed the type of person that I want to be after I exit Godinez Fundamental High…

Seth Gordon Though director Seth Gordon has zero competitive gaming experience, he is a very capable filmmaker, having graduated from the Harvard School of Design and taught himself how to edit footage. He worked his way up to director from being a cameraman on a Dixie Chicks documentary. Apart from the desire to tell a compelling narrative, we should believe Seth Gordon; it's not as if he has a horse in the race of competitive gaming. #4: The Pathos of The King of Kong Gordon establishes…

Jordan Cronenweth, ASC's photography for Blade Runner, with its use of strong shafts of light and backlighting, immediately evokes images from classic black-and-white movies, and it is not accident that it does. Cronenweth explains, "[Director] Ridley Scott felt that the style of the photography in Citizen Kane most closely approached the look he wanted for Blade Runner. This included, among other things, high contrast, unusual camera angles, and the use of shafts of light." David Dryer, one of…
