00:51 Chapter 1: Learn Your Film Lights

03:04 Chapter 3: Mix Your Lights
04:50 Chapter 4: Lighting Faces
Roger Deakins returns with part two of his discussion on “learning to light.” In the previous episode of Cinematography Techniques, Roger Deakins walked us through the fundamentals of how to observe light and how still photography became a major inspiration. This time, we’ll get a little more practical as Deakins touches on night shooting, lighting the human face, the subtle art of mixing light in a shot, and knowing which light is best for the job.
In Chapter One, Deakins stresses the importance of knowing the different light available and their characteristics. In this case, he mentions using a skypan in Blade Runner 2049 to create sharp, moving shadows in the scenes at Wallace Corp. The next chapter centers on shooting nighttime scenes that actually look like night - compared to scenes where a pronounced blue or green tint is added to simulate moonlight. If you’ve seen his work, you know that a big part of Roger Deakins’ cinematography is working in the shadows.
Roger Deakins admits one of his “biggest conundrums” is mixing light. From his schooling, he was always taught to match his color sources - a holdover “rule” from the Technicolor days. Deakins mentions a scene from True Grit where he lit a campfire scene by mixing firelight with the moonlight, as opposed to previous Western cinematography techniques that kept a more uniform light in every scene.
Finally, Deakins talks about a fundamental technique in photography and cinematography - lighting the human face. He quotes a fashion photographer who said, “If you can photograph a human face, you can photograph anything.” It’s more than simply adding light to the face, it’s about how you angle, diffuse, and create contrast with the light to brings out that person’s character. There’s a lot more to learn from cinematographer Roger Deakins that we’ll explore in future episodes. Stay tuned for the next episode of Cinematography Techniques.

I never realised just how important the cinematographer was to a film until I realised that Deacon was directly involved in most of the films I loved
Definitely, they along with the director are controlling what we see and don't see!
@@StudioBinder I know its been said before but Deacon deserved WAY more than just 1 Oscar win
@@CarlaGReads Deakins won 2 btw .. Blade runner and 1917
@@MostafaSheshtawy oh woops! I forgot about 1917!! Still, definitely deserved more than 2 :)
“Deacon”
"Light the ambiance like a human face. Show the essence of the place."
That's was so clarifying!
I suppose, also partly cause he can pick a great movie to attach onto.
His tips are insightful but easy to understand
a landscape is a face, and a face has an inner landscape

@@StudioBinder Talk about Alejandro González Iñárritu Movies..
Facts ‼️‼️‼️
"if going around with a camera looking at light doesn't excite you then I don't think there's much hope"
This is such great advice. It's about being passionate and excited about developing your craft.
So many RUclips videos are telling people to just pick up a camera and make things and they'll be amazing. But that isn't true. This is a craft that is going to take years, potentially decades to get good at and a lifetime to truely master.
That was the one line that caught my ear as well. I was a traditional artist using oil paint and pencil before I got into filmmaking. Now focusing on cinematography, I could not agree more with the idea of needing to be excited about my work if I am going to expect to tell a story through visuals.
Love his photograph about human interest, those photos was taken by him in 1972 but it looks just like a couple weeks ago, He knows the composition more than me or anybody else in this world. He's the real legend of photography.
He takes a lot of inspiration from still photography 💯
So true, I had to re check the date again, those images look like taken just yesterday
On a film set right now watching this in LA...lemme confirm...lighting is EVERYTHING and this man...is a lighting GOD!
The colour saturation in Blade Runner is a proof of this technique's excellence.
Definitely, and most importantly he knows when to use it
I can never get too much Roger Deakins. I always learn from his explanations, because I can see what he's saying when I look at his shots. Huge thumbs up. Thanks, SB.
His advice is phenomenal
I love when Deacon shares his work. He's a true master. There's not many people like him in the world. Please do more interviews with him. Especially the dynamic between DP and director
All the voice over is from the Deakins Podcast; if you want to hear more from him you should listen to it!
@@StudioBinder Thank U I def will
Best Channel for future filmmakers. Thank You, Studio Binder.
Thanks for watching!
@@StudioBinder You're welcome
As a photographer there is so much I learn from great cinematographers that I can adapt to my craft. I always love hearing from Roger Deakins and his process, it is one thing to learn about a specific setup and how that was achieved, but it is so much more fruitful to learn about the thought process and approach that goes into why you do a certain setup and build it that way.
Thank you very much to all guys. Every day you make me a better filmmaker. Once again, thank you!!!
Keep it going.
Will keep on going 👌
Who else feels like he/she would make an insane film after each of their uploads
haha give us a shoutout when you make one
Working on it right now
I can gladly say that you have crafted the next generation of filmmakers, this kind of resource is really helpful. We literally owe it all to you
Just give us a shout-out at the awards haha
I've begun teaching an intern who knows nothing about video production but has a strong will to learn. These tutorial series are incredibly comprehensive and entertaining. Having never formally taught before, I've found it's been a fantastic refresher course for me as well. Thanks so much to the writers and editors of these videos!
That's fantastic, happy teaching!
I can listen this man all day
us too 👍
I just wanna say thank you for existing. I’m 2/3rds the way through your ebook on exposure and I love it!
Happy to exist 😂
Videos like these are blessing for film aspirants
That's why we make them!
4:50 , NOW that part is little DRAMATIC.
Indeed haha
Thank you so much studiobinder
You teach me something new everytime I watch your videos
Such a soothing voice.. I wish he read some books for me
Bedtime Stories with Roger Deakins haha
I love your Roger Deakins content!
You guys are just the best! Thank you for your work on this incredible channel 🙌🏻
Cheers!
The last point is 🔥
Fantastic advice right?
There are videos that inspire you by sparking an idea of something you could use or replicate. Then there are videos like this that inspire by showing just how bad you suck. One is reassuring and the other is unsettling. I kind of think I should be unsettled after watching this. Thank you!
Best channel in RUclips. Amazing content!
Cheers
This is best filmmakers channel👆👆👆
We appreciate that :)
I love deakins and this channel
I swear you guys make the best content!

Great content! You should be posting more than one video per week! 🙏🏻❤️
we'd like to! Would have to figure some things out
First ❤️❤️love your contents... I evolved so much due to you guys!!!
That's fantastic :)
Nicely done. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Great stuff
love this lesson but also the 1917 soundtrack just gets me
It's so nice to hear someone talk about the importance of context. I've had so many issues with directors and executive producers not understanding the importance of character development and aesthetic in preproduction meetings. They think you just put up a softbox and light the talent. It's so so much more than that... or they Insist on clean even light and it's just fucking boring!
If you want learn and relax at the same time..so this channel is for you.
that's what the lofi is for ;)
You are great channel 👍❤️ thanks
ty sb, i really needed ds rn.
That's why we're here :)
Many thanks , I learned a lesson worth thousands classes

Wonderful ❤️
Every upload is always an inspiration...I was wondering if you'll do a horror lighting breakdown
Just when i need it!
Hope it helps :)

2:46 There was a mistake here. The shot from The Shape of Water has "Pan's Labyrinth (2006)" in the bottom right corner.

Roger Deakins is the Gregg Toland of our time.

Until you're dead, obviously. Haha!

Thank you so much Studiobinder
Thanks for watching!
❤️
This is not from an interview they did but the audio is from his podcast
Yup, all audio is from the Deakins Podcast
That means he mostly feel to make the light realistic as possible
Reccomend some books on Film Lighting? plz... 💖
😍😍😍
Hope you liked it!
Roger DeGOAT
This came from the podcast right?
Yup, audio is from the Deakins Podcast
Just a query, How does a photographic lens bring a change in the perspective of an image. Love from India!
@@AtlantaTerry thanks man...got it🌞
Focal length, aperture, focus all come from the lenses. It changes everything!
Film Lighting
개방적인 방식으로 만드는 것도 좋은 방법
1. Learn Your Film Lights
빛의 밝기를 이해하는 것이 좋음
2. Lighting the Night
완벽하게 현실을 반영하지 않으려 하지 않아도 됨
분위기를 만드는 것이 중요하기 때문임
눈의 해석에 따라 굳이 파랗거나 초록색이 아니어도 됨
3. Mix Your Lights
밤에도 색깔의 팔레트가 있음
굳이 한 색깔로 일고나성을 가지지 않아도 됨
4. Lighting Faces
얼굴을 촬영하여 관객으로 하여금 감정을 유도하는 것은 어려운 과정임
Why did you censor Doc Brown?
that way to say "Roger is special" it scared me hahah
0:30 Does anyone know how did they do that?
Please make
Directing style hichkok
Besttt @stusiobinder
❤
These were great for lighting philosophy but no actual techniques were shown or broken down for the viewers :/
Movie at 4:41?
Please make a video on SATYAJIT RAY
Thanks for the suggestion!
Any one knows bgm in 4:13....
Novice here, what does it mean to "match your color sources"?
Incandescent lights give off a different type of light than LED and florescent sources do. They can look the same to the human eye, but there are varying levels of blue and yellow tints to some. A candle light has zero blue in it, but an incandescent bulb may have a slight hint of blue, and the medium on which the shot is being recorded may pick up a blue-tint if not controlled properly.
Same goes for an overcast sky. It has LOADS of blue in it, and a florescent light source may easily replicate that, otherwise it is necessary to put blue gels in between the light source and the subject being filmed.
Different light sources have different "tone" for saying, like the typical greenish fluorescents of a parking, or the warm orange bed lamps. That tone is called color temperature, measured in Kelvin degrees. Tungsten balanced light sources (tungstenlight bulbs IE) are defined as 3200k, while the daylight balanced ones (the sun) are defined in between 5500 and 5600k. Film or digital sensors can be balanced towards different color temperatures to match, and hence make "neutral", the color of a scene.
So if you have a scene with natural sunlight, and need to add some fill light with a tungsten balanced source, you first need to "cool" that source with gels and make it appear as sunlight, otherwise color sources will look drastically different. I hope i made it easy
Simply put, it's making your lights give off the same color
@@StudioBinder thats actually much easier to understand that what i said hahahaha
@@Moiguay Haha, I feel the same way!
Sir Roger I want to assist you on floor.. I have passed out from film school in cinematography.may I assist you sir?
I am waiting for your reply sir.
Why is the video so short?? 😕😕
short and sweet :)
I am Steven.. hi..
But what if you live in London where the lighting consists of either wet, rain and wet rain lol.
I was surprised by 1917 and those over lit scenes with the shadows across the ruins. It look like a set, nearly a behind-the-scenes shot from a docu and that seemed like a huge failure to me, immediately pulled me away from the story. How that passed as acceptable is beyond me, otherwise an incredible movie and I have no other negative comments on Roger Deakins' work who's nothing short of GENIUS. ruclips.net/video/Ly6pErhA3NA/видео.html
Please Make Sam Raimi Directing Style Video
Thanks for the suggestion!
I preferred the previous episodes because in this one it wasn't explained so well and it was more a story telling than a tutorial how to acctually learn it.
Thanks for the feedback!
I didn't realize how fake Back To The Futures lighting was until now. 😆
I love Roger Deakins Cinematography. 🎞🎥🎬.
