Why did director Roman Polanski insist on using handheld camera in the film "Chinatown"?
Answer:
Roman Polanski’s use of a hand-held camera during the shooting of the film was to induce a greater sense of intimacy and interaction between the audience and the actor’s.

Question 5:
Who is the cinematographer for the film Apocalypse Now, and what is his philosophy?
Answer:
The cinematographer who worked on “Apocalypse Now” was Vittorio Storaro, and his film philosophy is highly influenced by the Theory of Colours made famous by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. It presents the idea that colours have a very specific effect on the viewers psychology and how this may alter their interpretation of a scene, or indeed the entire film in general.
