Round 3: Tossup 1
The anamorphic bokeh of lights from passing cars backdrop a scene by this cinematographer in which night shots of a couple buying peaches at a market are set to Michael Small’s trumpet melody “Love Theme.” This DOP hoisted a remote-controlled camera along a winch for an aerial shot that rises towards the dome of a library. “Rhapsody in Blue” plays over a montage of this DOP’s shots of city life to open a comedy shot in monochrome 2.31:1 widescreen, whose best-known frame depicts a (*) bridge looming over the leads sitting on a bench. This DOP’s penchant for underexposing negatives earned him the moniker “Prince of Darkness.” This DOP of Woody Allen’s Manhattan and Alan J. Pakula’s Paranoia Trilogy used a sepia tint throughout a film whose final shot depicts a door being shut on Kay. For 10 points, name this cinematographer of The Godfather trilogy. ■END■
