	Conrad Hall - Films as cameraman:, Films as cinematographer:
		In a film narrated by a dead man telling the story of the events leading up to his death, the camera is of necessity hidden behind the point of view of the narrator; the integrity of the narrative depends on the integrity of the images through which it is expressed.
		Hall captures the superficial lives of the protagonists, emphasizing the garishness of the decorations in unsold houses, for example, or the unreal cleanliness of the expensive fabric on a sofa.
		Hall won an Oscar for the cinematography in American Beauty, but his experience behind the camera also proved invaluable to first-time film director, Sam Mendes, who with characteristic openness, regularly asked him for advice on the practicalities of shooting a particular scene.

	Conrad L Hall Biography at Hollywood.com (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The son of "Mutiny on the Bounty" co-author James Norman Hall, American cinematographer Conrad Hall initially intended to follow in his father's footsteps as a writer, but a bad grade in a journalism class at the University of Southern California turned him in the direction of filmmaking instead.
		Hall's decision to use anamorphic lenses on Brooks' bitterly monochromatic "In Cold Blood" (1967) placed the picture slightly outside of the documentary style inherent in filming on the exact locations where the famous murders had transpired, thereby involving the audience more deeply on a dramatic, storytelling level.
		Hall was back in the running for the Academy Award with Robert Towne's "Tequila Sunrise" (1988), ratcheting the golden romanticism of "The Day of the Locust" a few notches higher to upstage the lackluster script.
