Ode

Arthur O'Shaughnessy. 1844–1881

6. Ode

WE are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers,	5
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.
With wonderful deathless ditties
We build up the world's great cities,	10
And out of a fabulous story
We fashion an empire's glory:
One man with a dream, at pleasure,
Shall go forth and conquer a crown;
And three with a new song's measure	15
Can trample an empire down.
We, in the ages lying
In the buried past of the earth,
Built Nineveh with our sighing,
And Babel itself with our mirth;	20
And o'erthrew them with prophesying
To the old of the new world's worth;
For each age is a dream that is dying,
Or one that is coming to birth.

Notes from Cinematography: Theory and Practice

Image Making for Cinematographers and Directors

by Brian Brown

• p2 create a visual world for the characters to inhabit 
• p7 a long lens compresses space and a wide lens expands and distorts space
• p9 adding visual texture: changing colour and contrast, desaturating, filters, fog and smokefx, rain, film stocks
• p10 movies are one of the few art forms that use movement
• ability of the camera to conceal or reveal information
• letting camera reveal rather than narrator or dialogue
• POV is a key tool of visual storytelling - close to how one of the characters would see it
• cinematography consists of showing the audience what we want them to know about the story
• audience inhabits the characters brain and experiences what they experience
