GITM 70: Lenses In Anime - Why They Matter | An Analysis

Previously on the show, I have managed to cover some rather niche topics, namely space and aspect ratios. However, in this session I wanted to take it a bit further by discussing camera lenses. The lens is our way into a scene; the lens no matter how distorted works as our eyes into the film and as a result influence how we interpret space and time itself. In this episode, I discuss what the purpose of lenses are and then proceed to break down the visual language of Kyoto Animation's Naoko Yamada & how she manages to imbue her films with meaning from lenses alone.
