Abstract

Cinema has become one of the most influential media in society since its origins in the 19th century for various reasons: its artistic-aesthetic, technical, narrative-communicative character, etc. In this sense, the Seventh Art has become a fundamentally creative and industrial cultural product that has evolved over the years. This study aims to address how the frames, light, and colour of the images that make up a film serve as expressive elements by considering the development and value of cinematography. To do this, this research analyses Roger Deakin’s film composition in four of his works: Fargo, The Man Who Wasn’t There, Sicario, and Blade Runner 2049. We also consider whether the cameraman has a defined style. At the same time, we intend to highlight the director of photography’s profession as the figure in charge of constructing the film narrative frame.
