Night of the Hunter
Night of the Hunter
Students. I think this is an excellent film to study for mood, staging, lighting, composition, building character, stylization and so much more. I encourage you to really study what is going on in all the shots below which are, for the most part, presented in the order they come in the film. I find them inspirational. Feel free to share your thoughts and findings with your fellow students, myself or your other instructors. It is good practice in learning the language of film and storytelling. And, as always, these are for study only and not for reproduction at any time.
Thanks,
