This film is filled very artistic scenes but I chose the hallway scene since it is one of the most crucial scenes in the film. Without the scene as important as it being well made, the scene continuing forward would have been weaker. It uses very aesthetic camera angles, lighting and other movie effects to get the message across. This is also a very important turning point in the film as it shows the reaction of Frank’s parents after his death. The director portrays the grief and sadness not by using words, but by using music, lighting, camera angles, and color. The way camera angles was used in the scene, was to show the dark abyss that Frank’s father enters as he has to deal with his son’s death. As he walks deeper the the hallway looks …show more content…
Before that scene the movie was very uplifting and romantic. It was a film of a kid trying to get a woman that is hard to get. This scene is very significant as the plot of the story completely shifts from figuring out what Frank has to do with the Strout situation to a film about sadness and despair in the death of Frank. The way this scene was handled was perfect to the development of the film. The main character is changed and that doesn’t really occur in films. The happy tone is shifted to a sad one. It becomes a story about dealing with death and injustice which changes the film from being like every other love story and makes the film …show more content…
It uses intelligent camera angles and other elements of films to help the plot of the film. The story has near perfect plot progression and is praised by critics receiving and 9.4 out of 10 on iMDB. One reviewer called it, “A draining, exhausting experience, but you'll be all the better for it. Wilkinson, Spacek, and Tomei are magnificent, but it's Field's sensitive, inventive direction that really catches the eye.” The reviewer points out that the film has a sensitive topic of death and depression and speaks on how the film handles it the right way. The film also has the capability to make very real like topics like the death of a loved one feel very real even though it is a film. This review also expresses this belief, “There are scenes as true as movies can make them, and even when the story develops thriller elements.” My final rating of the film is an 8.5 out of 10 since the film does have a very long beginning and it takes a while for the importance of the film to set in. I also found some of the scenes to be unnecessary though it is expected since this film is based on a short story not a full length
My initial reaction to the film was of utter shock at the brutally raw reality of the film. Upon reflection and commentary from other sources, the film’s simple yet vastly effective filmmaking techniques of developing the explicit and implicit meaning of the film. The explicit meaning, as
I loved the use of the hall of mirrors and the neon lighting during one of the film's final sequence. Laustsen used a myriad of directional shots to make the room appear even larger, and the neon light added the right amount of ambiance to the whole sequence. Laustsen is no secret to great cinematography as he was the chief cinematographer on the film, Crimson
Sometimes it is too late to find out where your destiny is at or it takes a while to find it. It does happen in this lifetime. This films tells us that life can be sad and challenging. Sometimes we want to help others, but we can not because of what they are going through, but finding out the background story can change everything, The film reflects did not really reflect on what I do because it involved with FBI, investigation, hunters, and parents I am not in that stage yet, but it can reflect on me in the future. This film reflects cultural because it is about Native Americans and Whites this shows cultures because it a scene it shows the murder young women father with a painted face. It was a sad film because many good men died in this film and even a young innocent women, it was also a shocking movie because the whole time I thought the boyfriend murder the innocent women, but the whole time it was the boyfriend friend who was the murder. It is sad because a young women had many more years to experience life and just walking all the way to her boyfriend house ruin
Frank Dabaront also used many different camera angles during the filming of this movie. One he used to show the setting early in the film using an aerial shot. He used this at the beginning of the film when Andy was pulling up to the prison in the bus along with other inmates. In this shot you got to see the prison, the yard, the fences, sniper post, as well as all the new prisoners pulling up. This gives the audience an idea of the setting and how a prison looks. He also used other camera angles like the medium shot, the close up, and eye level shots. His reasons for always using different camera angles is to help the audience pay attention to what they should be looking at. He uses the medium shot in the court room when Andy is being questioned
Overall I found the movie to be quite interesting and exciting at times but a bit slow in others. The story itself was very clear to me and didn’t cause any confusion. It had a good flow also, just as you were on the verge of falling into boredom with a scene they switched it up on you to keep you
The camera angle is kept normal throughout, no high or low angles, which helps keep the scene simple and understandable. Afterward, the scene cuts to the arrival of the bus at the bottom center of the frame, then cuts back. This portrays that there’s a difference in depth from where the characters are, and the bus. The camera dollies forward as the criminals bid M. Gustave farewell and wish Zero good luck. The subsequent series of shots are cuts between M. Gustave and Zero, and the criminals high jacking the bus (by mercilessly killing off the bus driver first). This is done to show us the complete disregard from M. Gustave and Zero of the fact that they just let dangerous criminals out into the world, in return, causing the viewers to share the same
You should have the time to watch it and I'll assure you, you will not regret. I am giving the movie a score of 5 out of 5 for they showed a serious, tragic and a really dramatic movie but has full of lessons to learn
The camera angle is canted which is usually typically to show villains , the canted angle builds tension and makes the audience feel uneasy. The over cranking with the canted angle successfully builds tension within the opening of the movie. This successfully follows the genre conventions by the use of camera angles as it over cranks a dramatic
Its usage of the clichés paired well with the extra levity that Marquez brought to his performance - from his quip traces to his facial expression, have been all strung collectively very well. It’s even surprising that despite the now and again balk-worthy dialog, its emotional message was correctly conveyed - specifically with the dying scene, which become proven simply sufficient to benefit the audible gasp and the subsequent grief that Lea felt.
In the short film called Six Shooter was a movie that was directed pretty amazing in my standards. It starts off in the hospital and there was a man looking at a woman which later on in the movie is to be known as her wife. In the setting of the hospital scene there was such suspension in there that gave me the chills and that is what you suppose to do as a producer is to set modes throughout the movie and if not then your movie will become boring and unappealing to the crowd and will get bad reviews. After the discovering his wife is dead the man is poorly sad in from the death and it sets a tone for the movie. Plus, after the man is leaving the hospital it gave suspension on what the old man was going to do further on in the movie. Although,
The first scene in the movie I thought was powerful was the scene where kids with HIV were forced to leave school due to the fear of the parents and the ignorance they had back then about not understanding how HIV were transmitted. Dwayne Maori a 12 year old hemophiliac infected with HIV from Tennessee was forced to quit school due to the fear of other parents and the ignorance that they had about AIDS. In this particular scene the parents were protesting outside the school with big poster boards, when Dwayne Maori left in the car there was a parent shouting out loud that he is trying to kill everyone but the parent is not going to let him kill her baby. Others were shot or got their houses burnt to the ground. I think that this scene is important and powerful because this scene tells us how one person’s word can lead to so many fears in the society (when president Reagan re-enforces that AIDS can spread by casual contact). This scene also showed us how scared people were about this new virus. At the same time, this scene tells us that HIV doesn’t only affect the person infected by it, it affects their families as well. This scene is effective because it allows us to learn that when these new
Paradoxically, his journey begins from his attempt to suicide and this is revealed in the scene where the title of the film ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ is superimposed on the image of Frank at the hospital, which shows irony. The use of juxtaposition has a meaning of being happy and joyful, however it is contrasted across a scene where the camera is zoomed into Frank with an expressionless face at the hospital. This portrays Frank’s weak human spirit, where he did not have profound understanding of empathy as he tried to commit suicide. In contrast to this, in a later scene where Frank jokes around with Dwayne, the use of close up shot allows the audience to recognise his happy emotional status. Moreover, understand how his developing relationships with family members and their shared experiences which influenced him to find happiness in life. It reveals the power of developing human spirit has assisted Frank to understand empathy with others leading to self
As I mentioned before, camera angles matter a lot but they do so subtly. TV and film directors always artistically manipulate camera angles and shots because it is one of their many tools they use to convey a specific message. One example the article
The actors are believable in their roles. Steven Martin who acts as George Banks is outstanding in his role, he acts very well, so the audience knows his feelings, and feels sorry for him. The stars are not the main reason for me to see the film, but the title is.
This camera shot is panned out to show the small and narrow surrounding, making the audience feel Andy may be feeling trapped. The high camera angle is used to show ‘the Sisters’ have power over Andy and Andy’s feeling of hopeless. The lighting was also dark to express that everything is going bad for Andy. This isolated and hopelessness moment of Andy was shown by a variety of cinematography techniques in Mise en Scene which has influenced the audience to feel the isolation of having no hope during the moment when Andy’s got beaten
