Conor Larkin 

BA [Hons] New Media Studies

I have always had a passion for music and film, and studying at IADT that passion only grew. When I find a new band or musician I like, I delve into their process; the same goes for films, for the actors, directors and most notably, cinematographers. Learning how an actor preformed a stunt, how a scene was set up and shot, or how a director and cinematogpher work together, intrigues me. I have also gained two new passions - podcasting and documentaries. Over the 4 years of my couse we made a few documentries and podcasts, which I greatly enjoyed making.

Video Project - Cinematography of Robbie Ryan: The style, aesthetic, and process of Cinematography

For the video portion of this project I wanted it to be viewed by all who have an interest in films whether they watch films every now and again or are enthusiasts of cinema and cinematography. I used screen recordings from each of the movies I discuss as well as an interview Robbie Ryan did with Variety, talking about the cinetography and prodution of Poor Things.


Essay - Cinematography of Robbie Ryan: The style, aesthetic, and process of Cinematography

For the essay portion of this project I took an academic approach. going into the details of the techniques which Robbie Ryan uses, how they came to be and how they evolved over time. I then went into each film seeing how Robbie worked with each Director to create their films using the techniques.
