Warcraft — official trailer

What is Warcraft about?

The peaceful realm of Azeroth stands on the brink of war as its civilization faces a fearsome race of invaders: orc warriors fleeing their dying home to colonize another. As a portal opens to connect the two worlds, one army faces destruction and the other faces extinction. From opposing sides, two heroes are set on a collision course that will decide the fate of their family, their people, and their home.

Warcraft is a 2016 American action fantasy film based on the video game series of the same name. Directed by Duncan Jones, who co-wrote with Charles Leavitt, it stars Travis Fimmel, Paula Patton, Ben Foster, Dominic Cooper, Toby Kebbell, Ben Schnetzer, Robert Kazinsky, and Daniel Wu. The film follows Anduin Lothar of Stormwind and Durotan of the Frostwolf clan as heroes set on opposite sides of a growing war, as the warlock Gul'dan leads the Horde to invade Azeroth using a magic portal. Together, a few human heroes and dissenting orcs must attempt to stop the true evil behind this war and restore peace.

What does the cinematography of Warcraft look like?

Across 156 sampled frames, Warcraft builds its coverage from medium shots (54% of the sample), with close-ups (21%) carrying much of the rest. Cinematographer Simon Duggan keeps 62% of it in soft, low-key light. 53% of the frames play at night or in the failing light of dusk. Anamorphic glass shapes the frame. Focus stays shallow in 80% of the frames, isolating subjects from their surroundings. The production design places the film in a fantasy world.
