We're back with another fantastic episode of Photosynthesis!
In today's episode, we sat with a seasoned photographer, Arpan Banerjee. He primarily has been doing some remarkable works within the vibrant Bengali movie industry. He specializes in behind-the-scenes (BTS) videography and photography. He is also into film poster photography and capturing the still and candid cinematic shots. But that's not all – outside of movies, he also enjoys snapping fashion pictures as a hobby.
The conversation started on why winter is a busy season for the Bengali film industry due to the more favourable shooting conditions. He takes us through the intricate process of BTS photography, discussing his role as a silent observer capturing the raw essence of film sets.
Arpan reveals how BTS photography is important in documenting the entire production process, capturing the raw emotions of actors and crew members between shots. He emphasizes the pivotal role it plays in future reference, promotional material, and preserving the essence of filmmaking.
Arpan even explains how the scale of production influences the BTS unit's scope. Larger productions may require multiple photographers covering various locations. And don't overlook continuity photography – a crucial aspect in behind-the-scenes photography of a film.
Finally, he describes the impact of colour science in film and photography. He elaborates on how the manipulation of colours contributes to creating diverse moods and aesthetics in both film and photography.
A huge thank you to Arpan Banerjee for sharing his insights. Don't forget to subscribe and leave us a review. Until then, keep capturing those moments that tell a thousand stories.
