Fahir Maithutty @fahir_me #1yearofLucifer Main reasons behind Lucifer's great repeat value is its superior picturization quality , the perfection @PrithviOfficial achieved behind most of his frames and detailing that you notice in subsequent viewings. Few of my fav frames from movie. #Thread @Mohanlal Prithviraj establishing in beginning itself that his villain has depth and is vulnerable in this frame. Prithviraj shows us the books Govardhan read and a photo frame of his family quickly for a moment, before introducing Govardhan. Photo frames have lot of importance throughout the movie Prithviraj gave us hint on which side Murugan might be on early, but we may not have noticed. This opening of barriers with the accompanying BGM is a technique that works to add impact to a mass scene. How the camera quickly turns and Adil saying "Stephen" - another technique to amplify the scene. One of my favorite shots from the entire movie !
Police charging towards the people while Stephen is unperturbed - Yet another technique. Murugan unfolding his mundu - was not fear or respect. It was because of loyalty which you would learn later. Now another frame on how to get the maximum output with a superstar Prithviraj's ambition on big scale visuals visible in this frame. Prithviraj doesn't have his villain and hero together in many frames, but whatever little time he gets, he gets it right. Prithviraj's liking towards centering his frames . Subhash Chandra Bose on the background when Stephen gives his perspective of what a war is! Did you notice the first time that when Stephen kisses the baby and names him Vinayakan, the baby's father smiles in the background ? Prithviraj using the reactions of his characters to his benefit while making the phenomenal "Stephen Nammal vicharicha alalla Sir" sequence "Calm before the storm" - An unmoved Stephen calmly counting the people around before he moves swiftly on his next action
Another favorite shot - Stephen throwing the gun and its parts to either side in style Tribute to Olympian Anthony Adam done right ! Prithviraj does want his frames look perfect and unique wherever possible ! A speech acted, directed and picturized - all superbly ! And not before giving away one more expression of Murugan that you would dissect well later. Love this shot from the jail fight - another well choreographed stunt scene playing to Mohanlal's strengths ! Prithviraj allows camera few moments to capture what a phenomenal actress Manju Warrier is in this hospital scene Prithviraj's stubbornness to have precise frames even for normal scenes Mayilvahanam seeing this terrific shot through his blurry eyes Didn't I tell earlier that Prithviraj like to center his frames precisely well ?
