Just as I thought, Sunset turned out so nice when slow! ^^ I really want this single!

^They may or may not. Bear in mind, Ayu's PVs aren't really the simpiliest or lowest budget ones out there.

And TBH while a director should have knowledge of cinematography, a director isn't always gonna know the deep down specifics, like the director may know what kind of look he wants but won't necissarily know how exactly to achieve it. The cinematographer knows what film stock, lights/gels/lens/filters/materials, etc. needed to achieve the specific look. Again, a director could know this but not always.
I think some people are confusing what a director and cinematographer is. Like they have two complete different jobs, whether they are the same person or not.
Although isn't Ayu ultimatetly the director of her Pvs?

It's actually interesting because, it's sort of improbable that after all these years of making PVs, Ayu would have no knowledge of directing, etc.

So it's interesting that her PVs are coming out these certain ways. I really wonder how much say she has.

^She has all the say imo this is the Ayumi Hamasaki we're talking about. I mean this is a woman who has a double to make sure eveything looks as it should. If anyone made decisions for her that she didn't want, she'd drop their ass faster than anything. Now, its not necissarily her fault that her pVs/covers aren't the best (I actually don't have a problem with her PVs and really her covers either, just didn't like Sunset) but still...
And she definitely has a part in directing her PVS. If you watch the making of Rule, you can see her instructing the actors being filmed when shes not on screen. And like I said, she has a double for everything.

yeah, I used to believe that too.

The double doesnt really prove anything.

And the thing is, is that there are things Ayu would trust to others, like directing. She can't do everything herself, and I'm fairly certain that she's not the one coming up with every idea in her PVs.

Of course she has final say, but, it really comes down to what she actually questions and what she doesnt, and what she actually decides, and what she just goes along with because she thinks it's good.

Aww, Poroko needs a starring role in a PV one day, haha. [as a double, she should get some face time.. unless she doesn't want that..]

Cinematography (from Greek: kinesis κινησις (movement) and grapho γραφω (to record)), is the making of lighting and camera choices when recording photographic images for the cinema.

I think that's what most of the directors do in her making-ofs, right?

^Not necissarily but maybe in PVs. I mean in film no, but PVs maybe. But Ayu usually has a big staff, which means she could have a seperate director and cinematographer. the director may know he wants a certain look, but the cinematagrapher actually knows which materials to pick to present to the director.

OMG!!! the mv's are soooo good!

SURREAL__RAINBOW · #11 31st July 2009, 07:29 AM

someone told me that they already have Sunrise's pv

but the ones that have it wont share it? xD

truehappiness · #12 31st July 2009, 07:33 AM

They probably can't share it since it's on their cellphones. No one wants a video taped cell phone capture.. haha.

Just wait for them to come out on their own~
