Establishing shot

Gretel (Amber Beattie) get a tutor, Herr Liszt (Jim Norton) who promotes the idea of national propaganda and antisemitism. In a scene a close up shot of Gretel is shown as she reads, “The Jew slandered us and incited our enemies. The Jew corrupted us through bad books. He mocked our literature and our music.” The camera then switches to a medium shot of Bruno. He then interrupts, “I don’t understand. A nation's collapse is all down to this one…

moving camera shots and close ups. The emptiness of the house followed by reaction shots clearly show how tension is being raised; the audience not knowing quite is about to happen in the coming moments. The lighting in these scenes are a perfect example of classic Film Noir films, incorporating shadows and darkness effectively and allowing for a great sense of ambiguity. The sound of the trucks engine starting is the crucial point in this scene, where the tension is at it’s peak and the shots…

someone viewing this film will notice is how the camera is working throughout every scene. Throughout the entirety of the Film the camera follows the two main characters Diago and Ikuei. When they are sitting in the car there are interesting side shots of the two next to one another By using that camera angle it gave the audience the ability…

Annie is set in a mid-shot, addressing an off-screen Alvy, struggling to get his attention. He then enters the shot with his body facing the camera and engaging with an off-screen fan, after which never quite turns to Annie and the camera follows their walk backstage.

The films were shot in studios, using lighting and sets to enhance visual aspects. Also, most of the actors, if not all, were experienced and selected by their prominence. We can observe this in John Ford’s Stagecoach. Unlike Ladri di Biciclette, this film uses studios…

Cinematic minimalism is comprised of a deliberate removal or absence of the typical clutter that often weighs on Hollywood-style narratives, differentiated by the lack of content rather than the presence of it. “It” is here summed up as the mise en scéne (everything within the frame) of the film, as well as the positioning of the camera and sound. Ozu shows a mastery of storytelling in deciding how to utilise camera angles, setting, and dialogue to accompany and surround a story he was well…

found in a lot of him movies and in the Shawshank Redemption I found a few of the shots that he used through the majority of the film. The first shot I noticed was an establishing shot, this is used in the first shot of a scene where the audience needs to know where this is taking place. It is a wide shot or an extreme wide shot. The first time I saw this shot was when you first see Shawshank prison. This is a wide shot of the yard that shows all of the inmates coming to see all the newcomers on…

By far the most captivating scene in the film ‘Crash’ was when Daniel’s daughter gets mistakenly “shot” by Farhad and this ‘Invisible Cloak’ scene is important, shows suspense and should be kept. The scene starts of with a POV shot viewed through a rearview mirror. Where suddenly a white van appears. Farhad, the Iranian shopkeeper is inside, waiting to ambush Daniel. Here, all of the main characters and objects of the scene are highlighted clearly for the audience before the event takes place.…

Eli and Lindsay, for example, experience the totality of their relationship within the pilot. Even some of the cinematography supports this character-centric notion; notice that in several instances, shots are established with close ups of a character, then slowly pans out to a long shot of the scene’s setting. However, many enigmas are granted the opportunity for serial development, such as Sam’s unresolved conflict with his bully Alan, Lindsay’s conflict with Kim, and possible romantic…
