Estudio sobre la composición de imagen cinematográfica: encuadre, luz y color como elementos expresivos en la obra de Roger Deakins

Abstract

Cinema has become one of the most influential elements in the society since its origins in the 19th century, for various reasons: its artistic-aesthetic, narrative-communicative, technical, etc. In this sense, the Seventh Art has become a fundamental creative and industrial product of the culture that has evolved over the years. Taking into account the development and value of cinematography, this study attempts to address the way in which the frames, light and color of the images that make up a film serve as expressive elements. To do this, this research analyzes the film composition work of Roger Deakins in four of his works: Fargo, The Man Who Wasn´t There, Sicario and Blade Runner 2049. Likewise, we also ask whether the cameraman has a defined style. At the same time, we intend to highlight the profession of the cinematographer, as the figure in charge of constructing the frame of the film narrative.
