“During the shooting of a film I have found that my visual acuity to landscape and architectural form is heightened. Things that I often walk past or don’t notice, grab my attention when I’m in production. It’s an intensity of observation that would be too much to deal with every day. A certain amount of disengagement in the visual field around us, especially to the constant assault of advertising, enables us to survive.”
The above quote comes from cinematographer John Bailey, ASC, in a recent post (titled “The Snake and the Mongoose”) for his ever-illuminating blog, John’s Bailiwick, which I strongly encourage you to bookmark.
