Frances Ha - Authenticity in Cinematography

Noah Baumbach is one of my favourite directors, and it seems as though, as time has gone on, he’s only become a better director, however, Frances Ha seems to be the film of his that just can’t be topped. It's his only film photographed in Black & White, Frances is one of the best characters he and Gerwig have ever written, and more than anything, it's a comfortable film to watch.

So, in Wednesday's video, I’ll be covering the look and how it compares to his other films, the use of lighting and composition to tell a story, as well as the equipment Sam Levy opted for, as it was a very interesting choice.

As always if you have a recommendation for an analysis, let me know below!

Very inspiring that the Canon 5D M2 was picked as the camera.
Thinking and talking so much about the gear, overcomplicating everything by spending a lot of money on camera equipment can sometimes limit a movie in its potential instead of expanding it.

PERFECT TIMING! I watched this film for the first time yesterday. Before that I never heard of it before. Then I see you post this video today! Nice coincidence!
