Since we’re talking about time, there is a film that is amazing in its whole and really conclude what great cinematography is. The film is “Life Cycle”. The elements that I think make this clip really stunning is first the composition of every shot, which is done to perfection. Second is the play of color. The film plays out through all four seasons which gives the cinematographer the opportunity to use every season and its color to his favor and incorporate the color it gives into the location that is chosen. Thirdly, I must say that the filmmakers took the extra time to create a narrative to the beautiful cinematography. Way too many times there is no narrative in sports films and it is a challenge to create one. This film really did it in a great fashion and I enjoy the poetry, philosophy, together with great harmonic music that suits the clips very well. Buy the blu-ray! You won’t regret it.
