Everyone's favourite lighting exercise - recreating shots from films! But is it actually useful? I would say yes - any practice is good practice - but when it comes to painstakingly recreating a shot from a film perfectly, I think it may be a little unhelpful, at least in the grand scheme of developing our own looks and practices. Instead, taking influence from a film's lighting or composition and making it your own can be far more beneficial when creating an image. We're simply using these influences as a base, tweaking them for own scenarios - and since we're not going for a perfect recreation - we're inadvertently adding our own touch and vision. Therefore, creating our own image, with it's own look. This applies to any creative field, as we're all influenced in conscious and subconscious ways by different creative mediums and even the world around us. You're simply taking - in this case, a library of film stills from ShotDeck - using them as influence, translating them into your own look and developing them into set of practises you can then go on to use in your future work. I think this is why you should recreate shots from films - just not necessarily in the perfected form you might first imagine!
