A film is a moving image that comprises of many different elements such as cinematography, mise-en-scène, editing, and also sound. All of these elements play an important part in making an average story into an extraordinary movie. This is because the elements can influence how a story is told. In the photo given, the elements of film making play part on how the performer is trying to elicit his bravery and his ability to push himself to the limit.
In the photo, it would seem that the picture is an extreme long shot picture. This is because the camera is able to capture both the performer and his background clearly. At the same time, the picture is trying to elicit the area the performer is in. In the picture, the performer seems to be in a

In this picture, the usage of wide angle lenses does just that. We can see that the distance between the performer and the building below looks as if they were in a short distance from each other. However in reality, the performer is high above the ground and is nowhere near to any of the buildings. Moreover, the usage of wide angle lenses can be used to make objects in the foreground more prominent and striking while capturing a larger background area. In this picture, the performer in the foreground appears to be more prominent as the camera also captures the buildings and other things in the surrounding area. This image is also a deep focus shot. A deep focus shot is where all of the depth fields (foreground, middle ground, and background) are all in focus. In this image, the performer, the streets below and the buildings in the background can be seen …show more content…
This is because the costumes use can enhance the diegesis of a movie. In the image, the performer is seen to be only in his pants. His costume is eliciting that he is probably trying to run away from something or someone. His costume could also be a metaphor of him going against rules or it could even imply how the performer is trying to break boundaries and is trying to create his own path in life. The usage of makeup in a scene can amplify an actor’s performance. However, the usage of makeup does not necessarily have to be focused on an actor’s face; it could also be focused on his body parts. In the image the makeup used is primarily focused on his torso where it is clearly decorated with tattoos of many different designs. The usage of makeup can also provide a backstory about the performer’s character. In the image, the usage of tattoos on the performer could imply that he is probably living a dangerous lifestyle as a gangster or even a member of the mafia.
There will never be a movie if it weren’t for the performers and their performances. As such the performances in a scene are done to elicit a form of emotion towards the audience. Performances done by an actor doesn’t exactly require focus on a specific facial expression but it can also be portrayed through body movements. In the image given, the performer’s stunt as he tries to jump from one building to another elicits how brave and daring
Films are designed for numerous purposes, some entertain, frighten, enlighten, educate, inspire, and most make us think about the world we live in. This paper will be focused on the cinematic interpretation of the film "Stepping Razor Red X", the Peter Tosh Story. The makers of a film from the writer, director, cinematographer and the art director, design, and conceptualize what they want the viewer to see.
There are types of main techniques such as zooming, craning, tracking and lighting. Zooming is one on going motion, the camera moves from an area to a close up shot. Tracking is when you move the camera towards or away from the film and it is designed to make the actor feel like they are part of the scene or is removed from the scene. And Craning is when the camera angel is place on a crane to make better interest to the location of the film. Last but not least is Lighting. Lighting is when the light changes throughout the film and draws attention to the objects and also lighting can be used to create their facial expression when it’s light or dark. The characters in the film wear a costume to represent the movie and to show the character personality of what they doing. Also in this scene you can see many other many cinematic techniques in this set. As it appears Dave has more lighting than Gail. That’s because since Dave was white and Gail is black. Black and white people can’t be in a relationship or get
Shot 2: Close up. Dorothy views Oz and looks around, hugs Toto, walks out of shot. Angle straight on; no camera movement. Sound is still melodious, light nature sounds ambient.
The opening scene fades into a girl rolling along a wheelbarrow. A horse is trotting along in front of her. Both of these indicate that she is in a rural area or on a farm. The camera is behind her and we don’t see her face. It is lit naturally and demonstrates deep space (it focuses on the breadth of the entire view of the camera). The camera then cuts to a shot of a boy on a bicycle, in a similar setting as the girl. The sun is facing the camera, creating a natural glare. He rides towards us and then goes out of view. We cut again to the girl, this time closer up. We see her face for the first time. She is probably around 8 years old. The music is a soft, playful piano piece that goes along with her footsteps as she is playing. There are a series of cuts between the boy and the...
	Aside from the audio and visual points, there are various camera angles used. When everyone is circled around the boiling pot the camera man uses a stedicam shot to circle around and show everyone’s face. When the viewer is seeing a girl take off her clothes the camera technician uses a zoom shot. This holds true when the governor approaches the gathering.
Whenever books are adapted for film, changes inevitably have to be made. The medium of film offers several advantages and disadvantages over the book: it is not as adept at exploring the inner workings of people - it cannot explore their minds so easily; however, the added visual and audio capabilities of film open whole new areas of the imagination which, in the hands of a competent writer-director, can more than compensate.
out of the ordinary. The camera is on a wide-angled shot so as we can
Another good camera technique used in Requiem for a Dream were split screens. The split screens used by Aronofsky were perfectly split in the middle. The screens used maintained a good balance of your attention on both sides. The split screens allowed you to see two characters at once, making it easy to see what each one was doing at the same time. For example, there was a scene where Harry and Marion were talking to each other. Both of their faces and bodies were shown at the same time. Each character's response to each other was shown while they were talking or touching. It emphasized each character’s love for the other, making it feel like you were in the room watching what was taking place.
The scene starts with a medium close-up of Richie, who is positioned in the center of the fame and looks directly into the camera –which also doubles as the bathroom window- while wearing his signature headband and sunglasses. The medium close-up leads the viewer to focus on Richie’s face during the actions that are to fallow, but it also allows for a sense of place to be established. The scene starts off poorly lit and with a s...
This was shot using a 50mm lens, which unfortunately the focus is on his sideburn. If I were to do it again I would: film the ear in focus. This was filmed using my 20mm lens set onto infinity focus to make everything in shot focus, I also opened the shutter angle to 360 degrees to ensure everything is in focus. We have a light positioned behind the camera pointed Professor Oppressor filling in the details on the top of his coat and face.
...successful collaboration of sound, colour, camera positioning and lighting are instrumental in portraying these themes. The techniques used heighten the suspense, drama and mood of each scene and enhance the film in order to convey to the spectator the intended messages.
...sed as the medium close-ups in this show, but are used when someone is entering a scene or used to see a scene from a different view. These types of shots are best suited for this type of television show as it is a drama, there are lots of conversations between two people where wide angled shots would not be needed. The camera angle most of the time in this shot are at eye level, I think they use this to help us feel like we are involved with the scenes, to get us to be more apart of it.
... like Szpilman is gradually getting into that becoming a pianist phase and how the film overall has increased his confidence. The camera then zooms into his hand playing the piano showing the audience what to focus on. One hand has a lot of light towards it whilst the other hand is dark, which could mean that maybe his other hand will be in the light as he continues to play the piano, which is his lifelong dream. Then the camera zooms out showing us what else is in the frame. The director does this to show the audience that we should focus on where the light is coming from. The curtains have quite a detailed pattern on them which suggests that the room might have belonged to a professional and wealthy pianist. This might suggest that Szpilman is almost as if he is bringing the room back to life. This is shown with the different parts of the room covered with light.
As the camera zoom smoothly creeps in from the establishing wide we are exposed to a changing palette of noises from the surrounding environme...
“Entertainment has to come hand in hand with a little bit of medicine, some people go to the movies to be reminded that everything’s okay. I don’t make those kinds of movies. That, to me, is a lie. Everything’s not okay.” - David Fincher. David Fincher is the director that I am choosing to homage for a number of reasons. I personally find his movies to be some of the deepest, most well made, and beautiful films in recent memory. However it is Fincher’s take on story telling and filmmaking in general that causes me to admire his films so much. This quote exemplifies that, and is something that I whole-heartedly agree with. I am and have always been extremely opinionated and open about my views on the world and I believe that artists have a responsibility to do what they can with their art to help improve the culture that they are helping to create. In this paper I will try to outline exactly how Fincher creates the masterpieces that he does and what I can take from that and apply to my films.
