Technique, Ideology and Ethics of the Cinematographer
Abstrakt
The present research intends to go through significant contemporary productions done in the Colombian Amazon Rainforest in a time where historical changes are driving the country towards very difficult decisions. In this context, the cinematographer as an artist has a responsibility with his or her culture and society where technological choices are absolutely bounded with the motives of the craft and the construction of an embracing identity that can fit all the post colonial miscegenation. Is the jungle a place to protect and leave untouched? Is it there for the cinematographer with the tools of the profession to exploit its imagery? To whom is the author talking and what is his or her aim with the piece done, particularly in a place with millenary cultural heritage and one of the most important, if not the most, ecosystem in the earth to fight climate change. Technology becomes as an aesthetical and ethical decision as the place where the camera is placed.
