Émotions lumineuses : la poésie de la lumière en mouvement
This thesis, presented as a research-creation project, sounds the power of the light and the shadow in movement. Inspired by the writings of Henri Alekan and Fabrice Revault d’Allonnes, we will point out a work method used to shape the light, that rests upon two essential steps: the first step is called éclairement, and calls on a hiérarchisation of the light sources. The second step is one of lumination, that is equivalent to a dramatisation of the light. The method, considered in a classico-baroque context, will open the door to some analysis of the light’s variations. We will explore two techniques used by cinematographers: the conception of a light «path», and the changement à vue. We will study these two techniques through the work of various cinematographers, such as Vittorio Storaro and Darius Khondji. We will apply these two techniques in a creation that is linked to this thesis, to better comprehend the subtleties of the light in movement, and understand the difficulties that come along with the practice of cinematography. Thus, the creation will be a true exploration for me, and a practical and theoretical learning process about the possibilities and the complexity of light and shadow. This stammering and hesitating approach intends to understand the poetic potential of the light and the shadow.
