After reading the script for Rushmore by Wes Anderson and
Owen Wilson, I had a vision as the role of director of photography. As the director of photography, I am in
charge of composing the shots, the effects of lighting, all while working with
the cinematographer and director in order to get the movie to look like how
they want. The DP helps create shots during production in order to capture the
director’s vision.
The look I envision when composing each scene from the
script would be in an overall warm and nostalgic tone. The script seems to
emphasize a lot on Max’s shortcomings and how he managed to deal with his
problems. I get feelings of nostalgia and innocence as Max continues his daily
adventures at school in his youth. I
want a lot of natural sunlight in each scene to show the events that take place
in someone’s childhood memory.

The pacing for the script felt quick and full of subtle
information. With that in mind, I was planning on focusing on mostly just one
subject matter at a time with exceptions to extreme long shots of environments
and purposefully composed shots. A lot of the scenes and shots for Rushmore
would be fast paced and gets the point across for the actor, action and stage.
