UNLOCKING THE ART OF DIRECTION

With his upcoming directorial ventures, Ponniyin Selvan 2 and Indian 2, Ravi Varman is all set to take the audience on a cinematic journey. He also shares some insightful tips on direction and the art of film making.

1. What inspired you to become a cinematographer and director?

Life experiences and circumstances have served as a source of inspiration for me. I have been fortunate enough to delve into the world of art, particularly paintings, which have taught me the significance of elements such as color, light, shadow, and reflection. This understanding has helped me incorporate these elements into my work as a filmmaker.

2. Can you tell us about your experience working on the film Ponniyin Selvan"?

As a cinematographer with 34 films under my belt, I understand the significance of each frame. My approach remains the same for every project I take on, be it Ponniyin Selvan or any other film. I am dedicated to my craft and work tirelessly to ensure that each frame is crafted with care and precision, as they are all equally important

3. How do you approach lighting and colour in your cinematography?

As a cinematographer, I view my role as pivotal in creating the visual elements of a film. believe that the combination of color and light is essential to evoke emotions and bring the story to life. After first carefully selecting the appropriate hues, I choreograph the lighting to enhance the mood and create a harmonious balance. The result is a magical interplay of colour and light that elevates the overall viewing experience

4. How do you collaborate with directors and other members of the crew to achieve the desired visual style?
