\t\t\t\t\tReflections: On Cinematography\t\t<\/p>\n

\n\tDeakins is known for turning light, shadow, and atmosphere into storytelling tools. Whether it\u2019s the rich golden tones of Mendes\u2019s \u201c1917,\u201d the neon dystopia of Ridley Scott\u2019s \u201cBlade Runner 2049,\u201d or the muted, dust-laden landscapes of the Coen brothers\u2019 \u201cNo Country for Old Men.\u201d The new book promises never-before-seen storyboards, sketches and technical diagrams behind some of the iconic scenes from these films, offering not just the why behind his choices, but the how. Some pages that have been teased include sketches of sites and scenes from \u201cBlade Runner 2049,\u201d such as the Vegas exterior and Anna\u2019s lab, Wallace Records and Sapper\u2019s Farm. Other scenes that he dissects include the boardroom at dusk in \u201cThe Hudsucker Proxy\u201d and the motel\/coffee shop\/hospital sequences in \u201cNo Country for Old Men.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition to his work, Deakins also traces his own childhood and rise to fame for the first time, including his difficult upbringing in England and entering art school. Filmmakers will most appreciate his technical insights, in which he discusses the importance of lighting, camera movement and framing, which he has mastered and for which earned him 18 Academy Award nominations, and two wins, over his career. <\/p>\n
