Cinematography of movie 'The Perks Of Being A Wallflower'


Following on from my last blog entry, I decided to look into the cinematography of upcoming film The Perks Of Being A Wallflower (2012), the film's cinematographer being Andrew Dunn. The films stills and shots are all very well composed, focusing less on straight forward angles and shots and more on less centre angles. Throughout the film a lot of the shots are sharp, using a large depth of field - otherwise known as a deep focus in cinematography - creating vivid, rich colours even in dark or little lighting. The shot of actress Emma Watson in a tunnel is blurred, which I believe help shows the quick movement and the excitement felt by the character in the film. Dunn makes the shots sharp when appropiate and less so when it is used to reflect a moment within the film, which in my opinion is valuable to the cinematography of the film. I particularly like the last shot of the blog entry, due to the use of subtle lighting and the composition of the image, which seems to lead the audiences eye towards the characters slowly, as to reflect the scene.
