The close up shown in SG6 could be the director’s way of portraying his mental battle as well as his physical one. The camera’s continued shakiness now creates a sense of desperateness as Hook struggles to catch up with car. The background being completely foggy…

'The Graduate’ (Nichols, 1967) is a comedy that uses a three-act film structure and includes its major structural elements. The film depicts a recent college graduate (Dustin Hoffman), whose feeling of a lack of purpose results in his life becoming dominated by his relationship with Mrs. Robinson and eventually, her daughter Elaine. Act I establishes the key characters; Ben, his parents and their friends, including, Mrs. Robinson. The audience is empathetic towards him and likely wanting to see…

The scene then uses the audio and visual cues of the police siren being turned as both a graphical match cut and a sound bridge to the following cut, a close-up shot of two crows feasting on an animal carcass in the middle of the highway as the camera tilts up towards the two police cars. The focus of the staging of the two crows in the transition acts as foreshadow in the show’s narrative, as evident a…

to stop playing. She asks where Josephine and Daphne last played in a band. The camera switches back to the two girls in disguise with a close up shot this time. Sue questions Daphne where the holes on her bass came from (the shooting with Spats and Toothpick Charlie), the camera then cuts to a close up of the bass. The camera then tilts up from the bass to a close up shot of Josephine and Daphne. The camera returns…

Though Robert Zemeckis’ Back to the Future is extremely successful in being a fun, blockbuster film, it does a very job in how it crafts the relationships between specific characters. Though Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) is facing a struggle to get back home, there’s another struggle occurring in the movie between his father, George (Crispin Glover), and town bully, Biff Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson). By tracing their acting and relative staging of these two in certain shots, a narrative between them…

Scottie. Over the next few seconds, she moves towards the camera which tilts downwards, putting her feet in a close-up right in the foreground. Moving back afterwards, the camera tilts upwards, bookending the shot with a similar frame. In the sequences with the full shot, the frames seem to be fairly balanced, with both sides basically equally filled by figures and objects. However, in the close up of the feet, as created by Novak’s movement and the tilt, there is an interesting balance in that…

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…
