Photography is the key element of mise en scene that determines how an audience will interpret the visual information in film. Orson Welles used the photography of his 1941 film Citizen Kane to emphasize aspects of the film he wanted viewers to focus on, and to remove non-essential information from the frame. This was accomplished through various camera tequniques including manipulation of angles and proxemity. Approaching the end of the film there is a scene just after Susan (played by Dorothy…

the arm and drags him to a private area where he closes a curtain. There seems to be a tracking shot used, as the whole time, the two are framed in roughly a close shot. Once there, the camera pans, as Vaughn enters the left side of the frame into the foreground while Brody stays in the center middleground. This is arguably a two-shot, as Brody is still in more of a close up (but it’s hard to tell because he bends down a little) and Vaughn is in a close-up. A few seconds later, Vaughn moves over…

SHOT LIST: The Graduate - Graduation Party Scene Shot: 1. Time: 1 min 28 sec. Shot Size: Close-up and Medium close-up. A close-up of Ben sitting in his own room. Ben is placed in the middle of the shot in focus. There is a well-lit aquarium behind him that takes up the whole background. In it, on the right side of Ben, there is fish, on the left side there is a scuba diver that blows bubbles to the surface. Ben’s face is lit on the left side while his right side is dark. He’s wearing a white…

chose to shoot unscripted footage, shooting anything he thought looked good, and then worked on editing it into an hour-long film. It took 7 years to shoot, edit, and release this film (1975 – 1982). Plot The film starts out with calm wide shots and close ups of nature such…

consideration. For instance, the memories Saroo has of himself as a child, those shots are filmed from the perspective of a three foot tall child. In order for Fraser to enhance the emotion in each shot he uses techniques like height, camera movement, close-up shots, and lighting. Throughout the movie, we not only see but also experience the memories Saroo has as a child. We are able to feel as if we were Saroo at the age of five wandering around Khandwa, India because of the way Fraser shoots…

I definitely think that the most moving scene would have to be when Andy escapes from the prison at the end of the movie. I thought it was very creative how Stephen King chose to have a close up of Andy, with his back to the camera while he was using an axe to make a hole in the wall. I believe this shows how much he is willing to go through to try and escape. I liked the extreme long shot of Andy crawling towards the camera, through the…

Welles used sound to establish and further enhance the viewer’s attention to the meanings of what is portrayed on screen. Another impressive use of sound in Citizen Kane is the sequence after the end of the newsreel announcing the death of Kane. We are exposed to a room, dimly lit and shallow (unlike the deep and wide banquet room), full of men. The camera focuses on Mr. Rawlston, who, while he speaks, performs a myriad of motions towards and against the camera – all of which are enhanced…

my brother. I was scared but I had to go find my brother so me and Maddie went to find him. As me and Maddie were walking down the hallways filled with bodies I notice that my brother teddy bear was on the floor so that meant that we were getting close as I heard his scream for help getting louder, I ran as fast as I can to get to him but maddie had stopped me from running as she saw an alien coming towards us. We hid behind the big boxes that here right next to us and as the alien walked passed…

Contact [1997] is an excellent science-fiction film in which humanity is contacted by extraterrestrial intelligence. One of the main messages this film sends is that the reconciliation of science and religion is possible, but only when the two are in their pure forms, and that pure science and religion both increase the efficiency in which we determine the truths about our universe. Another more subtle message that I feel the movie portrays is that our current form of language is very limited…
