When done right the results are the beautiful still shots you see below. Like Lord of the Rings, Bong Joon Ho ’s 2017 film, Okja, is a fantasy story that leans on CGI. Only when dream sequences are viable do the low-angle and high-angle shots seem ever-present to showcase how fantasy can be so more enticing than reality. Cinematographers spend hours, sometimes days trying to get the perfect lighting and position so they end up with the perfect shot. There is a horizontal depiction of characters and continuous use of two-shots and medium-shots that balance the protagonism of every character as a driving force.


Cinematography is a lot more precise than what a lot of people think.
