Example

Yesterday I took the recommendation of a really good friend of mine, that is also helping me out in this project, and I watched Call Me By Your Name (Luca Guadagnino). I just watched it to enjoy it, no relation to this project what so ever, but how can I say I want to shoot a love story and not talk about this film. This film is pure organic love, without consequences or extended risks. A story about two people falling in love, no matter age, sexuality, religion, heritage, etc. I feel like this movie is important, people should watch and understand no matter if it makes them uncomfortable.
Not only was the storyline amazing, but the scenery, costume design, cinematography, everything combined just makes it beautiful. We get to know so much about two characters just by the way Luca decided to shoot them. Close ups to see their reaction and to feel what they are feeling, establishing shots to get to know the setting, and fall in love with the little Italian town that you've never seen or heard before. Lighting, lighting, lighting. Luca focuses so much on lighting that just on shot is a wall and it goes from dark to bright as if the sun was just coming up at that exact time.
Prime example of a love story, and again I feel like a love story has multiple love affairs in it's self. We see the main one, the we see Elio with his parents, Elio with his friend, Oliver with his friend, Family with the workers, the town, etc. We need to understand that LOVE is just not boy girl, LOVE is boy girl, boy boy, girl girl, friends, family, animals, fruits, everything.

         By the way, you should watch this movie.
