More problems in watching stuff with me..
Sep. 10th, 2024 07:56 am.. or "I see cinematography 2".
The latest one is the second series of Sherwood. Never mind the political bits - one character manages to combine being a city councillor, a county councillor, and in the third episode that we're up to thanks to a couple of weekends away - a district councillor in a single role, it's incredibly noticeable (if you are me) that someone loves putting the actors in front of bright back lighting.
Have a scene in an office? Put everyone talking in front of the window with light pouring in! Shooting outside? Have at least one person with the sun behind them!
There were so many of these shots in the episode, I am tempted to to fast forward through one from the first series to see if they did it then too and I have just forgotten.
