WELCOME
A s with a previous period drama production that we have covered in Definition called The Woman In White , the director and the DOP for Vanity Fair wanted to move away from the seemingly slow pace of the costume dramas that have littered the channels of terrestrial television for decades. For Vanity Fair it wasn’t the Dutch angles and extreme close-ups of The Woman In White but it was the pace and ‘realness’ of the dialogue (people actually talking across each other), it was the lighting of the anti-heroine Becky Sharp, it was the lens rotation in and out of every episode and it was the breaking of the fourth wall. DOP Ed Rutherford got his reference from the French new wave, the control of the zoom and of course that electric stare straight to camera from The 400 Blows movie, directed by FranÇois Truffaut. Vanity Fair 2018 is a feast of colour encouraged by RED cameras with helpful back filtering and refined in the DI from Technicolor. The Panavision Primo lenses complete the picture of a lively, funny, beautifully shot new drama for Sunday nights.
