Scene in Frida

My favorite scene in this superb film is when Frida faces another tragedy in her life when she finds her love of her life sleeping with her own sister. This causes Frida to drink even more, and become careless about her own ways of managing her life. The scene after her isolating her self after this incident where she's cutting her own hair, wearing a black/grey suit, heavily intoxicated. This is perfectly portrayed through the camera, showing the imbalance in her life by tilting the camera slightly sideways. Later in this same scene, she's staring at herself in the mirror then walks away and it shows a painting of her devastatingly sitting on the chair, and it transcends into a moving animation. I chose this scene because it was one from the many that caught my attention and the cinematography behind it is remarkable.

King's Speech cinematography

The cinematography in King’s Speech was well shown throughout the entire film. This one scene out of the many scenes that potrait very well cinematography is the one when Bertie finishes his final speech and walks out of the speech room and keeps walking as his workers all clap for him and he continues walking and there’s a tracking shot following him as he passes by all his workers clapping for their King. The tracking shot portrayed a very relieving feeling and also showed the King’s pride as he successfully improved in his speech.
