The lightning really fitted the scene and made it better make it look more interesting and realistic. Another reason for why Labyrinth is another example of an excellent cinematography is because of the music which determined how or what the mood of the scene was whether the scene was happy, sad, or scary. The music also helped with telling a story of the story of the main character to find her brother which had been taken from the goblin king that fateful night. Music is a way to help viewers see what the mood is in the scene which makes it easier for people. Music was good to have in the Labyrinth because it meant when there were other effects it would match how the character was feeling or what was happening because it is better for everything to match up. Camera angles are a big part in the successfulness of the film Labyrinth because different camera angles can benefit in different ways. This film used a number of different camera angles from low, high, bird's eye view, dollying tracking, close up and extreme close up and more. These different angles are the main reason for why this movie is what it is because with different camera angles you show different emotions better. For example, they used a low angle view in the beginning of the film which showed that she looked more superior as they camera was below
The Sapphires, directed by Wayne Blair is a 2012 Australian musical comedy-drama based on a true story. The film is written by Keith Thompson and Tony Briggs, staring Jessica Mauboy, Deborah Mailman, Shari Sebbens, Miranda Tapselland and Chris O'Dowd. The film was based on a true story exploring the themes of family, courage and race identity. Wayne Blair explored these themes by using various techniques throughout the film to have an effect on the audience.
Camera techniques is a very general aspect of cinema that covers all movements, lens’, angles, and shot types a camera can ascribe to. For example, the camera angle can establish the mood and tone of a sequence, with the application of high camera angles depicting characters as exposed. Furthermore, camera movement comprises of zooming, panning, tilting, and tracking as a way of producing emotion and compelling viewers. Camera lens’ spans from telephoto to wide angle and gives to the tone and appearance of the movie. Finally, shot types can include long shot, extra-long shot, close up, extra close up, and point of view, and form circumstance of the characters in their settings amid that moment in the plot. In Edward Scissorhands, director Tim Burton relies upon a bevy of different camera angles to capture Edward as an assailable protagonist, alone and existing as separate from community.
clever camera techniques which create tension and fear. The camera shots also pay close attention to detail. For example, when the man with the dog throws a stick for his dog to fetch into the sea, the camera
Firstly the directors and their team use a variety of different camera techniques to shape our view on the characters, and ultimately
Pan’s Labyrinth, originally titled El laberinto del fauno, was published in 2006 by the Spanish director Guillermo del Toro. The story is set in the year 1944, in the country-side of a post-Civil War Spain. A young and imaginative girl named Ofelia, played by Ivana Baquero, travels with her pregnant mother, Carmen Vidal, who is very ill; in order to meet and live with her stepfather, a cruel and sadistic man named Capitan Vidal (Sergi Lopez). During the first night of their stay, Ofelia meets a fairy that leads her to a pit in the center of a labyrinth where they soon meet a faun (Doug Jones). The faun tells Ofelia that she is a princess from a faerie kingdom
The music helped in elaborating this great film. As I mentioned in class different instruments helped create different moods for different scenes in the movie. We heard the cello and the violin to create sadness and remorse. The flute created eeriness and the trumpet created awareness. I thought these were instruments and tools that help make this film extraordinary.
The language of the film is in Spanish, adding to the enmity as a foreign language to English speakers. The use of subtitles draws in the audience’s attention making them cling on to every word being said because of the intensity of the movie. There is also a lot of disturbing visual effects in the pan’s labyrinth which also captures the audiences attention such as the scene where Captain Vidal must stitch his own cheek sliced open from the mouth adds to the realism of the film, leaving the audience to squirm in their senses, imagining the pain. The use of close ups and tracking shots emphasize the hysterical, tragic mood of the story. This causes the audience to feel maudlin and affected. An example is the frame of a close-up high angled shot when we see Captain Vidal shoot Ofelia. We realize the gravity of the crime, watching Ofelia fall to the cold stone floor as her blood drops down the entrance of the Underworld realm.
The music in horror movies are very similar to our modern time music but not the same. It is a great way to scare you because the sound can turn suddenly loud and scary music can also create suspense. Jaws had the best music technique. One example was when the shark comes attack the music used there made the movie one of the best.For another example when there are on the beach the music was really calm lt all sudden change to scary music that is used when the shark comes attack The Others used music for a fake scare also at the end when they know they are dead also the beginning.signs hads sunden music scares that was really good for scaring people but jaw was the best.If you use good
When you see Pan’s Labyrinth starring Ivana Baquero as Ofelia and Sergi Lopez as Captain Vidal, prepare to take your emotions for a ride. As the movie is a fantasy/drama film set in Spain of 1944, during the civil war. Yet, it still captivates its audiences with its selection of an unconventional fairytale. While, keeping some of the same elements such as a princess and fairies of a traditional fairytale. Not to mention the sudden dark twists and turns of a ruthless stepfather, heartbreaking losses, and the horrifying unseemly creatures which the legendary lost princess Ofelia must prevail. While, taking on an expedition to completing three dangerous tasks.
The second way why cinematography made the film is because the camera shots during the film were very close to one other. It did become kind of confusing many times during the film. Now you would see medium shots more than any other one during the film. There were also long shots that were shot alongside the medium shots so long shots would
The Comparisons and Contrasts of the films of The Thing and The Thing From another world
In all of the previously mentioned films, there are a range of camera techniques being utilized to their advantage. In the horror film Psycho, they use extreme close ups to help show emotions or to add drama. Point of View filming is also common in all three of the films, as POV can make the viewer feel more engaged and being able to see what the victim in the film can see adds an element of fear that wouldn’t be able to be achieved if everything was shot in 3rd person. For example, in Scream, it is often filmed in the Point of View of the victim who is being stalked and later killed by the antagonist and shows things such as the girls boyfriend tied to a chair or the killer running through her house. Another technique that is used in these films is Mise-en-scene.
The importance of music in movies is highly regarded for manipulating the viewer’s emotions and helping them immerse into the story. Music is one of the prime elements in cinema. Without it a movie would feel dull and unexciting. There are three elements in a movie: one is acting, the second is picture, and the third one is music. It is a holy trinity; if incomplete, there would be a lack of sensation and excitement. Both acting and picture can stand independently from one another, but music is the one that makes the movie memorable.
This time we will focus on the analysis of the sound of a film that, in addition, to be well achieved according to my personal appreciation, has been nominated for several awards for sound and has won some of them. It is then a proposal that, when like others, it is convenient to analyze and understand, to take from it what works best for us or interest, or for our future productions. For this I have chosen the feature film Pan’s labyrinth (2006) by director Guillermo del Toro; in charge of the sound Martin
Camera Shots also make the movie repetitive and tacky. When the director wants you to feel fear for the character he will use a point of view shot. So when the headless horseman is crossing the bridge to fight Ichabod Crane we see him: a tall, dark figure walking towards us. Yet, we cannot see Ichabod Crane’s face. How do we know that Ichabod Crane isn’t laughing at the cheap special effects? A big close-up at the beginning of a substance which resembles blood falling on a piece of paper is actually hiding the fact that the so called blood came from a candle and
