Lighting In Cinematography: An Examination Of Its Impact On Audience’s Emotional Response In “The Nun” And “The Fisherman’s Diary (2021)

A key reason for the success of live-action films is the effects of cinematic lighting. The movie that does not engage the audience emotionally is a failure and this implies that the filmmaker has failed in his goal to get to the audience. Lighting for film is not an easy art and requires a lot of learning and practice as well as research to be able to do effective lighting. The problem is that most filmmakers especially in Africa are not well trained in lighting and that is one of the main reasons why film does not reflect the original and intended massage for the screen writers. This dissertation therefore examines the effect of film lighting and its impact on audience‟s emotional responses in the movie, THE NUN and THE FISHERMAN’S DIARY. Considering the fact that this research is an analytical type of research with a qualitative approach in nature. This research is aimed at looking at the different techniques of cinematic lighting applied in the two movies and how they are used to impact audience‟s emotional response. It is based on the hypothesis that Lighting in film is a great determinant of how the film affects the audience‟s emotional response. An in-depth analysis was carried out as the method of research where the researcher watched the two movies to critically analyze and identify the different lighting techniques employed in the movies under study by the filmmakers to impact audience‟s emotional response. The results show that, Film lighting has a significant impact on audience‟s emotional response as seen from the movies under study THE NUN and THE FISHERMAN’S DIARY, which has been supported by film literature for the last 100 years. This research ends by proposing films to be watched and books to be read by film students and filmmakers. Keywords: Lighting, Impacts, Audience, Emotions, The Nun, The Fisherman‟s Diary.

Female Objectification In Cameroon Cinema: A Representation Of Women In Victor Viyouh’s Ninah’s Dowry And Ngang Romanus’ Bed Of Thorns” (2020)

Female objectification is a predominant representation of women in Cameroon cinema. The filmmakers enhance this representation of women through the projection of patriarchal oppression faced by women within the family, not leaving out the manipulation of certain aspects of our culture (head of the family, dowry, and patrilineal heritage) by men, resulting to female objectification. It is well established that the Cameroon society is grounded in a patriarchal culture, which has defined our perception of life and the world at large. This cultural aspect is reflected in Cameroon cinema as seen in the film understudy. This study aimed to examine the various narrative and cinematic tools used by filmmakers to project a visual representation of women as objects, while also emphasizing on patriarchy as the root cause of female objectification through its cultural malpractices.To test the hypothesis that, Cameroon filmmakers use film as a medium to expose the shortcomings of our culture through its representation of women, content analysis was chosen as a suitable methodology. Content analysis allows the researcher a lot more freedom in reading and analyzing the texts at hand, guided by related research and relevant theory.The result showed that the family is patriarchal‟s chief institution, where women are oppressed, exploited, violated, marginalized, and subjugated. These results also confirmed that patriarchy is the root cause of female objectification with its diverse cultural malpractices. Through cinema, filmmakers can sensitize and conscientize the audience on these societal ills.
