During this workshop, we will pose lens questions to Matthew "Matty" Libatique, who was the cinematographer of "Mother!", "Iron Man 1 & 2" and many other films.
Cinematographers have been using various focal lengths of lenses in creative ways for over a century in order to evoke emotion. Certain lenses pull you into a character, some lenses can scare you, while others capture a breathtaking action sequence. Why are there so many choices, and how are focal lengths used in cinematic photography?
