Aside from the brilliant performance of Daniel Day-Lewis as oilman Daniel Plainview, Paul Thomas Anderson’s 2007 film There Will Be Blood is perhaps best known for its beautifully naturalistic cinematography, which was nominated for over 20 different awards including a win for Best Achievement in Cinematography at the Academy Awards. So, how did they do it? Today we will take a look at what cameras, lenses, and film stock they used, as well as the real locations, naturalistic lighting, and how they got some of the tricky shots. This is Making Film.
