Menu Item: Documentary Styles

This past week for my menu item I have been watching different youtube videos about DP's and how they shoot, and mainly while shooting documentaries. The main DP I have been watching videos on has been my personal favorite, Roger Deakins. He got a start as a DP in documentaries and it was really interesting hearing his insight on how he portrays emotion through how he films and what he films. This can be portrayed through everything from how a person is shown, how exactly something is being filmed, or even how the equipment is being used. Personally I like documentaries a lot, and I would love to get the chance to film one some day. And if I did, Roger would definitely be an inspiration.
