Vertigo
Vertigo was about Alfred Hitchcock, a former police officer who was deeply scared of heights. The storyline had an enigmatic atmosphere to it, and it progressed seamlessly over the length of the film. The cinematography would leave you feeling like you’ve got nausea when you’re watching it, due to something called a dolly zoom, an effect that shifts perspective from the camera’s point of view.
The Shawshank Redemption
This film was deemed to be the best of all time but was not a success in theaters even though it earned loads of award nominations. Despite the long, relentless struggle to make audiences enjoy the film, the cinematographer Roger Deakins wound up winning the American Society of Cinematographers Award for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography. Twenty-one years after the movie was released, it was identified for conservation in the National Film Registry.
