Chicago Cinematography Scene

When this scene begins, the lookout yells “The sheriff is comin’” (Blazing Saddles) and the camera is panned out a bit with the lookout a little off to the left. The camera is also shooting from below a bit to show he is high up on the roof. When the camera turns to the sheriff riding a horse towards the town, the camera angle is shot from up above angled down to show the distance of the sheriff and the height of the lookout. When the camera is set to the towns folk the camera is set further back with a wide viewing distance to see the band, the towns folk, and the stage all in the same shot. As the sheriff rides into town the camera is used in a way to show the towns folk surprised faces. The camera is first zoomed in on the sheriff riding toward the stage. The camera then cuts to the towns folk and pans to the right, only showing the towns folks facial reaction of the new sheriff. The camera moves the same direction the sheriff is moving on his horse. This adds a sort of point of view of the

The “King Kong” scene is shot using a low key lighting design. Low–key lighting is often used for intense dramatic scenes which was a perfect fit for this scene. The dark lighting used in these scene

Lee makes excellent use of these shots as a way of bringing the viewer into the action of the movie. His use of high and low angle, point of view shots both heighten tension and give the feeling that the characters

Lighting is what sets the mood for the scene it is assigned to so making sure you have the right lighting for a scene or even a movie is important. Burton displays sinister and spooky images with low-key lighting. In “Edward Scissorhands” Peg’s neighborhood is in fact very bright and seems to be perfect. Burton uses this technique to display a very obvious relationship between Edward and the Neighborhood. When peg

The shots, though the same type of framing, have different functions for the different parts of the film. In Leland’s flashback, the film’s lowest camera position happens at the point of Kane’s most crushing defeat. In one of the scenes from Leland’s flashback, Leland confronts Kane in their office. With the desks are pushed aside and the employees gone, the room looks larger and emptier that it is before. The camera is placed at the floor level and shooting from a low angle. The background of the low angle shot adds to the focus to the emotional distance between Kane and Leland and the falling out of these two characters. Hence, the low angle here functions to isolate Kane and

Every character takes up a portion of the screen but the background scenery is what creates the intriguing atmosphere. The move from broad to close-up pulls the audience in and makes them take in everything in the scene by visually grasping the emotions of the characters and the scenes.

As an undeniable expert at visual precision using all sorts of elements, Anderson has the ability to control our emotions just as proficiently as his

The movie American Gangster uses cinematography in order to emphasize or symbolize important parts of the story, giving the audience a better understanding of what is currently happening. Lighting is used throughout the scenes to represent a character's current situation. In the beginning, scenes containing Richie Richie are lit with a harsh blue light to convey his dire situation and inability to make progress in his case. As the movie progresses, the lighting around him slowly becomes warmer, allowing the audience to sense progress and hope as Richie gets closer to figuring out the man behind Blue Magic. The use of lighting in this way symbolizes the progression of Richie Richie' case without the need to use dialogue in order to explain the

There has been a steady decline in musicals being produced, since the 1970’s. The movie Chicago has helped to bring the genre of musicals back into public favor. With the help of the movie, and articles that have been written about the return of the musical, I will convey how this has come to be. I have looked at the history of this genre to see how it has gone down in popularity, and how it has come back.

Chinatown is based on Roman Polanski’s lifeworks. Polanski’s goal is to emphasizes the meaning of how cinematography is made, and how it inspires by understanding the concept of setting, lighting, and how the image is captured. This film was released in 1974 by director of Roman Polanski to focus on private investigator J.J. Gittes, played by Jack Nicholson to investigate the elements behind the truth. Polanski’s goal is to emphasize the audience to give an ominous feeling of the main character, J.J. Gittes and his point of view by showing in color instead of black and white pictures. Due to these reasons, Polanski wanted to use Panavision to give a flawed vision about the past, which the story is set in the years of 1937. Polanski states, “a traditional detective story with a new, modern shape” for Paramount picture. (1) This paper focuses on the film Chinatown which is neo-noir, not only because of the setting, but the concept of cinematography that connects duplicates occurrences together that describe three categories: background of the cinematographer, point of view of the main character, and the interpretation of the ending scenes.

The lighting also shows the way she has something deep inside her heart that she doesn’t want have a connection with her dad and doesn’t want to communicate with him. The low lighting shows the hate and discomfort of her dad. This is where I also notice the colors of the background and how all the colors seem to be dull and dark which, they are not warming colors but colors that make you have a sense that there is a problem. Furthermore, I think these two cinematographic techniques help the audience make a connection to the mood set in our brain to know that the film is going to be about some sort of conflict of some

They lighting was overall very simple, but it brought the story to life, it helped transport us to the world from the stories being told. Sometimes that amaze me with the lightening was that throughout the show a spotlight was never completely on a particular. The lighting stay the same for most of the play.The light on the stage was equally distributed throughout the stage. The intensity of the light was kept low by having orange and red tones to describe warm moods, and blue ones to describe cold moods. The best lighting was a combination with set designing and was really brought to life by the actors in the production. During the boat ride scene in The mock Khalifah the light dim, and the background create the night sky. I found that to be very beautiful, during my lab I create that piece, and to see it brought to life was amazing. The background a small Christmas like lights were able to transport you to being on the boat ride during
