Dir Jacques Audiard

DoP:  Eponine Momenceau 

“The actors guide the form, the sets, and the lighting, and not the other way round.”

“A graduate of La fémis’ Image Department in 2011, Eponine Momenceau directed an experimental film screened at the Palais de Tokyo in 2013 and a film for Arte, Jungle, as part of the Atelier Ludwigsburg-Paris - La fémis. Her artistic approach is summarized by a "an attempt to put contemporary elements into perspective with older representations". She was the director of photography for several short films and then one day… ... Jacques Audiard calls. He saw her film Waves Become Wings at the Palais de Tokyo, and he wants to offer her the job of director of photography on his next film, because he is interested in combining cinema and contemporary art. 

Camera

She tested the Sony F55 and found that it did a very good job rendering skin tone and other colours. It was fortunate that she chose this compact camera and hyper light because, as she already said, a lot of the scenes ended up being filmed from the shoulder. Eponine opted for Cooke S3 series lenses, which she likes because of their flaws : they have a tendency to vignette or to flare, which “breaks up the digital effect." She often used them without "matte boxes" and without a filter, in order to be able to handle the camera however she pleased. Otherwise, she also used the Angénieux Optimo 24-290mm zoom lenses for very slow zooms and long focus length shots. She also used a Mitchell filter to reduce the sharpness.

Lenses, Camera, and Settings

800 ISO at night because beyond that, there is noise in the image. But 1200 ISO for the day, in order to have as much flexibility as possible in the high lights… And then the LUT : a film LUT that reproduces the colors of Kodak film and gives the image body in some of the film’s scenes.

Regrets ? Yes…"Not being able to watch the dailies together because the shooting took up all of our time.”
