Martin Ruhe

Martin Ruhe is the cinematographer for 'Control', the film I'm using as my base for my assignment, in my previous post I listed some of the lighting techniques used within control.

Another film by Ruhe is 'Harry Brown' http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1289406/

Harry Brown has a lot of blue lighting for the exterior day time shots, whilst the night time shots, for which the most vital scenes from the film are shot, all have somewhat of an orangey glow, which can give the audience in some circumstances, such as if it were in a living room, a comforting feeling. However a lot of the scenes in Harry Brown, where the orange light is used, are where violence, such as gun crime is being committed, so the orange acts more as an aggressive color.

Some of his other work contains the video for UK band, Coldplays, 'talk' the look of it is largley similar to his work on control, it's black and white and the faces are slightly over exposed, theres also a lot of lense flare from the torches the band have in the video
