Cinematic Techniques In Tim Burton's Film
The low key lighting uses darkness and shadows to
I feel that Luhrmann would need another chance to prove himself and find that this is where The Great Gatsby makes its perfect entrance. Starting with its playfulness, The Great Gatsby is funny and interesting at the same time, which is a difficult combination to achieve. The audience beams, yet are also serious at the same time, and it is such a pleasure to watch this film. Luhrmann includes Genre Blurring and consists of drama, romance, and slight comedy. Luhrmann includes different cultures in this film, while it would have been hard because of the time that the movie is set in, what with the civil rights movement.…
Lighting played a major factor in the three dimensional animation to give depth, presence to a scene, and create a certain mood. The filmmakers wanted the audience to perceive the mise en scene in Wreck- It Ralph to look believable. The filmmaker tells the story of this film through various types of three point lighting, from low lighting with dark shadows to high key lighting to demonstrate the different moods the filmmaker wants the audience to feel. The low key lighting helped to emphasize the uneasy bad feeling the filmmaker wants the audience to feel toward particular scenes. The high key lighting helped to enhance the happiness the filmmaker wants the audience to feel when watching the film.…
To create these movies generally requires a major alteration of the environment, a filmmaker with bold imagination and one not afraid to take risks. These films are complete with heroes, distant planets, impossible quests, improbable settings, and unknown and inexplicable forces. Science fiction films normalize our fears to a level with which we can cope. By watching these fantasies play out, we become accustomed to the danger. Movies are primarily meant to be entertaining, but they can also bring about change for the better in our world.…
The reason it was a scandal is because Daniel Radcliffe was a child star and was extremely well known for his role in the Harry Potter films. Many critics and members of the media were worried that the public would boycott the Harry Potter franchise, because parents would be upset about Daniel Radcliffe playing an adult role in Equus. However Warner Brothers publicly supported Radcliffe’s choice to take the role, and made a press release saying, “Daniel Radcliffe is an extremely talented actor, as well as a great collaborator and friend to Warner Bros. Pictures. We 've had great experiences working with him on our films and fully support him in the artistic choices he makes as an actor” (Warner Brothers). This was regarded as a good strategic move on their part by members of the media.…
Most people have seen a movie trailer, if it was good it may have convinced them to see the film, but if it was not good, it may have not convinced them to see the movie. Watching a trailer is usually seen as a good idea before seeing the movie. It allows one to appreciate the grand work of art a movie is, but it can also show how terrible a movie is. However, trailers can influence consumers, and do more than just demonstrate the idea of a particular movie. Therefore, the consumer’s opinion and experience of movies can be affected by watching the trailer of the film.…
James Wan did a phenomenal job in creating this horrifying film. The predecessor of this film may have been more of an achievement and attention getter than what this one was, but I still thought it was good. I thought James Wan used the different technical parts along with the camera to his advantage which helped make this film great and horrifying. He weaves the camera in a number of different angles giving the house a claustrophobic feel. He uses a very dark tinted and gloomy setting that easily sets the tone.…
Vincent it has its ups and downs in the film where the narrative and the cinematography was lacking, but overall I feel like this movie successfully was able to use these elements to its advantage. The narrative of the film really built up that connection, the change of heart that the main characters were all having with one another. It was a slow build up that included a climax and a beautiful conclusion. The way that you got to see all sides of Vincent, not just one helped the story progress, but, helped build that connection between you and the character. The camera work in the film showed us the viewers different angles, different sides of Vincent.…
Watching movies is a great pastime. Whether it be an action adventure or a romantic comedy, it’s easy for people to sit down and enjoy one of their favorite films. However, there is a deeper perspective in the movies we watch daily. They can provide important life lessons or even advice on a situation. Movies can also have you question reality and drive you into creating serious motives.…
I personally think that if Tim Burton did not use the lighting he uses his movies would not be good. Tim’s lighting is important because it makes every scene come to life whether the lighting is dark and creepy or colorful and bright it plays a big part in his movies. In Edward Scissorhands you can see the whole town has plain colorful bright colors in the whole town which when you see edward makes him stand out at lot. This makes him stand out because edward is pale white and black is the colors he has on him. By using these colors you can already tell the conflict that makes edward different not only is it weird that his hands are scissors but he has all pale face that is white.…
By understanding the typical style of Burton’s films, it becomes easier to understand his message as a filmmaker. One example of Tim Burton’s auteur style is the reoccurring construction of his narrative. His films often depict ridiculous, morbidly funny fantasies told within the context of the real world. This consistent fantastical element of his films works to his advantage because it keeps the same audience coming back for more. For example, in Edward Scissorhands, the protagonist is the creation of a scientist who died before he was complete.…
