Course Content:
This talk will explore the thought process behind the cinematography of the movie “Spiderman : into the Spiderverse”. Using clips from various stages of production, we will examine the emotional thinking that goes behind choosing the camera style for a given scene. As ideas evolve throughout production, we will get a glimpse of the role of Camera at various stages of the process.
1. The motivation behind the overall camera language of the film.
2. How Scouting in pre-production informs the Design and Story departments.
3. Follow the camera plan into the first stage of production called Rough Layout.
4. Many changes occur as the Animation department refines the action and we will see how much the camera is affected, especially on Spiderverse.
5. Eventually shots move into Final Layout, where environments are tailored to camera for each shot and finishing touches of cinematography are polished in the back and forth with the Lighting dept.
6. Finally we will highlight a couple of camera moments between sequences that help tie the film together.
