Personal Quote:
I think films of the future will use more and more of these "camera angles" or, as I prefer to call them, these "dramatic angles". They help photograph thought.[1928] See more »Trivia:
The film Tabu was originally shot by cinematographer Floyd Crosby as half-talkie, half-silent, before being fully restored as a silent film - Murnau's preferred medium. See more »Trademark:
Innovative use of light and dark shadowing to create a certain mood See more »Star Sign:
