Cinematography blog tasks










1)This opening scene uses cinematography in various ways to make the scene interesting for the audience. This scene begins with showing a establishing shot to the audience to ,let them know the setting and what the weather is like and then we see the characters and we see a boy putting down a boat and it there is a close up shot shown regarding this stating that there must be a narrative behind this. Furthermore we see a side angle shot of the character and mentions to the little boy to be careful and this heightens the drama across this scene. Furthermore as the scene proceeds and we are shown a high angle shot and the boy continuously  running after this boat and a low angle shot as the boat travels through the puddles. There is also medium close up shown as the boy is protecting himself from the carriers whilst running, In addition to the this there further use of close up shots as the boy and the clown are shown and this adds to the narrative as we do not know who this clown is and what he is going to do and they are both filmed from different sides suggesting the boy is more scared and the clown seems more dominant as he has the boat.

 2) Camera work gives hints about setting narrative and character because of the way a new perspective is created whilst shooting the scene it makes the audience feel different. As when camera shots are at different angles the story line of the movies change. As the shots have to be different for the horror and romantic movies to make the audience feel different each time. When shots are shot at different angles it makes the audience what to know more and creates ambiguity each time.

Related image  This film still shows  a wide shot that is filmed from a high angle and shows the tense atmosphere that the characters are feeling as there faces seem in shock and serious. This scene also demonstrates the vulnerability of these characters and how they are feeling. The use of this shot doesn't only show this but depicts what is going to happen or what is in front of these characters as they all seem to be looking up and this suggests something may be about to attach them. Furthermore within this scene there seems to be filler lights used to soften the shadows to counteract the effects of other lights used. This shot has many people in it from the background and could also be a wide shot as it is showing all characters standing around them.

This film still is a close up of a girl who looks very horrifying as it is from a horror film as this shot is central our focus goes straight into the character that is being shown and this communicates to the audience as it suggests that the girl is trying to get out and attack someone but she is unable to because of the chains around her. Furthermore as the shot doesn't give any information about the background it signifies to the audience that there must be no one else around her which is why she is trying to get out. The character doesn't seem normal as she seems like she is possessed which makes the audience wonder what has happened.

 This film shot seems to be a low angle shot showing batman with a dominant and powerful look as it suggests that he is power because of the way he is standing. Also the background seems to be more dark and cloudy which centralises his image even more suggesting to the audience he has authority which gives the audience a hint that he may be a really influential character within this movie. This is also conveyed by the position he is standing in illustrating to the audience that he is a dynamic character.

Furthermore a high angle shot is mainly used to show the subject of a scene looking up at someone or something, it creates the sense of feeling that makes them look small and powerless. This shot is used when something bad happens or to make the audience feel on edge just from camera angle as it creates a new perspective of the scene to the audience.

sound analysis: Blog task

Funny Games: 1) The music suggests that the family is quite high class and formal because they are listening to classical music and playing games. 2) The use of music is diagetic and parallel as it goes with the sort of family they are. 3)I think that the narrative will develop as there might be some sort of danger when they reach their destination as the music played towards the ending of the scene seems quite serious. A Clockwork orange: 1)This scene uses classical music which doesn't go with the scene as it is non diagetic and contrapuntal as we are unable to associate it with the scene. 2)The action in this scene is slow so it could be adding to the tension of this particular scene. Time in the west: 1)The sounds within this scene were footsteps, water, fingers clicking, the fly buzzing and the train. 2)The sound bridge was the train as we heard it before we actually saw it which creates a tense atmosphere as we don't know what is going to happen next. Once upo...
