Hello Roger Deakins, I hope you are well. My name is Kyle, and I am currently studying film at college. At the moment I am currently working on my final project. In this final project I want to develop my cinematography skills. Due to this I wanted to ask you two questions to help with my research if that is okey.
1 – What is your thought process when coming up with the cinematography for all your films? For example, what do you take into account when lighting and composing a scene,
2 – How do you decide, which lens you want to use and how important do you think lens choice is?
3 – What helps to inspire you?
I understand there are quite a few questions here and that you are probably busy so if you can’t answer all of them that is completely fine.
Many thanks,
Kyle

1. The script and the director’s thoughts regarding the script. From that I use my imagination. It’s imagination, exploration and collaboration. After that come all the practical issues you have to take into account when you point a camera.
2. The lens informs the audience where they are in relationship to the subject. I don’t know how the choice of the lens could be considered unimportant! Just take a photograph of a face on a variety of lenses! It should be clear why its important.
3. I’m inspired by everything I experience. What helps? More experiencing!
