“The Florida Project” From iPhone to 35mm film camera, the visual power brought about by the ever-changing shooting method

The visual beauty of 35mm film illuminates the real world with vivid colors.

There are many factors that made this unique and generous atmosphere possible. For example, the production team repeatedly interacted with the local people and dug up various episodes in pursuit of a film that was completely realistic, they hired cast members with no acting experience, and they constructed the story from a strictly "children's perspective"... But there is one element that underpinned the worldview of the film at its most fundamental level: filming with a 35mm film camera.

Now that digital cameras are in their heyday, you might think that only a very select few masters and virtuoso directors such as Christopher Nolan would stick to film , but it seems that director Sean Baker of this film also decided that 35mm film was the best way to embody the pastel-colored world of "The Florida Project."

The effect is obvious at a glance. The images are so colorful and vivid (these are also called "Baker Rainbows"). Every scene leaves a deep impression on the mind, and the texture unique to film envelops the audience as if they were residents there. This effect makes us feel so immersed in the atmosphere created by the film that we can feel the texture and even the smell of the images.
