Question

Which technique would a cinematographer most likely use to let the viewer

know that a character is experiencing strong emotions?
A. Dim the lights on the set
B. Pan slowly across the landscape
C. Zoom out so the entire set can be seen
D. Zoom in on the actor's facial expression

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

By zooming in on the actor's facial expression, the cinematographer is placing emphasis on the actor's emotions. By doing so, the audience will instinctively know that the character is experiencing strong emotions (mostly due to the emphasis on the characters expression, as the character will most likely be showing visual signs of experiencing a strong emotion, using facial expressions and body language [also look into micro expressions])
