Just after this, there is a cut after which ambience sound takes over. The hustle bustle of the station, cellphone beeps, footsteps, the metro announcements etc. are used to bring us back into the physical realm of the character, the metro station, which is a shift from her mental space we were at before this. This then grows into another background score evoking anxiety and anticipation, suggesting something grave yet critical is going to happen. Rightfully then, Bob Biswas appears with his uncanny smile, ready to push her. Interrupted by a cut, supported with the train’s honk, we reach the edge of our seats when he pulls her back. Terror-struck, she starts to go back, Bob still following her, this time the ambience sound is layered with a …show more content…
Apart from capturing the shades and life of the city Kolkata with all its bengaliness intact, his clever cinematography can also be noticed in this small yet important scene under discussion. While Vidya is walking towards the platform, there are a few shots of the camera following her from back. Here, the camera has become a POV suggestive of some physical entity stalking her. When we see her back, we get a feeling that someone is behind, looking at and following her, which she is completely oblivious of, yet. There’s another such shot where she is standing on the platform waiting for the train while the camera moves towards her, right before the tap on her shoulder, where it is revealed that it was Bob following her all the while. When we see Vidya’s front Mid close up shot, and see an out of focus Bob come into focus from behind her, an uncanny feeling of panic dawns upon the audience. They immediately know what’s going to be his next action as he says “Nomoshkar”. The side profiles, close ups of him pushing and then pulling her back, leaves an impact of shock and horror on the audience, which makes them chew on it even months after they’ve seen the film. Rao’s editing and Setu’s cinematography work in perfect harmony with each other, producing a work which has become a cult Bollywood movie in contemporary
The film Jindabyne, is a story about death, marriage, and race in an Australian town in New South Wales called Jindabyne. In the film, four men go fishing, and one of them discovers the dead body of a young indigenous girl. Instead of reporting what they found to the police immediately, they decide to stay and continue fishing. They decide that there is nothing they could do for her, so they tie her legs to a tree and continue with their fishing, reporting the death only when they return home. After they are done with their weekend of fishing and report the incident, conflict starts, as the men are criticized for not respecting the dead. Through the story of the town’s reaction to the four fishermen’s response to the dead girl, the movie shows Australia to be fragmented and divided over white-indigenous relations.
The use of cinematography throughout this film helps to get the point of the film across to the audience. One of the most iconic scenes in this film features near the ending, in the background there is sound of an ongoing war which represents the war against the indigenous culture, while ‘Dave’ and ‘Gail’ are in a tent together holding hands. The camera zooms in on their hands, and the audience can see the difference between the skin colours, it shows how close they are regardless of what has happened in the past.
Later in the film, during the escape, the train whistle plays parts as both a warning and ...
When I watching this movie, I notice that I felt less separation from the movie. Initially I could not find a reason for that but, soon after I realize that the camera is not static but it wobbling slightly. In most movie, camera does not move and it creates the frame. In the other hand, this movie’s handheld camera type of camera works imitate the human eyesight feeling and make people feels like to experience the event in a movie as a one of the character. In this perspective, do not explain too much about the detail is emphasizing this experience. Consider these things, I really excited and enjoyed couple of scene which are the running through battle field and engaging to the baby. In the every day world, both scene is pretty rare to experience. For the battle field scene, majority of the people have avoiding to be in there so that is rare. The engaging to the baby experience is quite normal event for most people and of course it is grate experience but, in this movie setting, baby is extremely rare and seeing baby is truly miracle event. To emphasize and provide this miracle event, this camera work is perfect to apply.
Vertov uses montage make the viewer understand the connection between individual potential and societal potential, and furthermore, how technology is able to factor into this connection. To achieve his goal, Vertov uses one scene which begins with a close-up, eye-level of a woman cleaning her face with a towel (Vertov, 11’42”-12’11”). The use of a close-up, eye-level shot pins the viewer on the woman’s eyes. The woman abruptly peers up, and as she does so, Vertov fluidly cross cuts to a close up shot of blinds of a window looking out the city opening, successfully blending together the motion of both shots. The window of the house is a unit of the community, and by blending the motion of the woman’s eyes with the blinds of the windows house, Vertov establishes the woman as a unit of her greater society. Vertov uses another crosscut to connect the shot of the blinds to a close up shot of a camera. The camera focuses in and out on a subsequent close-up shot of flowers. Just as the woman can use
Hitchcock captures the moments where the audience is able to see the visceral experiences with Madeline and Scottie through the use of camera movements. In the first scene of the film, the viewers see a chase in which a man is literally hanging from a rooftop, grasping tightly to not fall into his death. Hitchcock uses the zooming effect to enhance the fear of heights of Scottie Ferguson, as well as provide the point of view of the detective’s vertigo to appeal to the audience of Scottie’s emotive state of being. This traumatic experience of witnessing the policeman fall to his death represents that every experience will end tragically. The chase between the detec...
In the documentary “Fed Up,” sugar is responsible for Americas rising obesity rate, which is happening even with the great stress that is set on exercise and portion control for those who are overweight. Fed Up is a film directed by Stephanie Soechtig, with Executive Producers Katie Couric and Laurie David. The filmmaker’s intent is mainly to inform people of the dangers of too much sugar, but it also talks about the fat’s in our diets and the food corporation shadiness. The filmmaker wants to educate the country on the effects of a poor diet and to open eyes to the obesity catastrophe in the United States. The main debate used is that sugar is the direct matter of obesity. Overall, I don’t believe the filmmaker’s debate was successful.
Religion and human nature combined tend to create a superiority complex among those who perceive themselves as having better, or more, faith. Religion is generally perceived as singular, but humans choose to dynamically express their faith, whether that be by love or war. Gandhi, depicted the movie Gandhi directed by Richard Attenborough, in the face of Muslims protesting Hindus, declared: “I am a Muslim and a Hindu and a Christian and a Jew and so are all of you,” and that perception of himself and others influenced a mass ethnic and religious revolution that enlightened India. Gandhi opened the world to revolutionary ideas -- the strength in tolerance, the pluralism in religion, and the unification of all mankind.
Director Max Ophüls is known for his distinctive smooth camera movements (Liang, 2011, p. 2). Frame mobility keeps the audience focused on the subject (Bordwell and Thompson, 2008, p. 203), and this can be seen in this shot. Due to the camera tracking Lisa and Lieutenant Leopold after they enter the frame, the audience’s attention stays focused on Lisa and Lieutenant Leopold, even thoug...

Holland makes use of this tense scene with a very minimal mis-en-scene, the viewer does not see the interior of the train in any detail, for it is incredibly dark. Neither does the viewer see any of the faces of those that are talking, just darkness. Instead of using dramatic music and intricate camera work to establish the tone of the film, Holland uses the sound of the train on the tracks, the darkness of the train car, and the whispers of Rosa, pleading with her daughter to let go of her doll and jump out of the moving train. Presumably her husband pulls her away, and just as the train is passing through a tunnel, pushes her out of the car and into the forest with a scream. The scene then cuts to Leon visiting his old employer in town and the movie properly
Sex, love, depression, guilt, trust, all are topics presented in this remarkably well written and performed drama.

In many scenes, the camera is positioned to reveal Bauby’s first person prospective. A confronting scene where this filming technique is present is when Bauby has his eye sewn shut. As the doctor begins sewing Bauby’s eye, the audience can see, through an extreme close up, the needle and thread, pulling the flesh closed. While this scene is extremely confronting, its purpose is to unsettle the audience, displaying the feelings of horror Bauby is experiencing. Through movements that are out of focus, consisting of unusual framing, we also learn just how little vision Bauby has in different environments, allowing the audience to get a stronger understanding of how much Bauby struggles in his daily endeavours. Beginning the film, a low camera angle is used from Bauby’s perspective, with various doctors looking down on him. This low camera angle portrays to the audience the little power Bauby has at this point in the film along with the overwhelming feelings that he is experiencing. As the film proceeds, we notice that the camera angles become frequently more level with Bauby and other characters are shot to an equal scale from a third person perspective, allowing the audience to understand Bauby is of equal significance to those around him. This is evident when Bauby is sitting with his publishing assistant, with a level camera angle which illustrates to the audience Bauby ha accepted his conditions. As the scene proceeds,
There are numerous methods to store and present information, each with their own benefits and drawbacks. As a result of this, whenever a creative work is adapted into a new medium, the source material is altered to optimize the communication of the original ideas. After reading the novel The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini and analysing the merits and faults of the film adaptation, it can be concluded that the adaptation deserves praise. This assertion is based on the success of three elements employed by the filmmakers when converting the novel to film, notably, the exclusion of unnecessary plot, the representation of Afghan culture, and the interpretation of major scenes. While there are several reasons to hold this film in high esteem,
