Low-angle shot

Begin with a shallow focus of the red daisies on the side of her. Then, switch to a racking focus of Elizabeth who is in the background of the flowers, and she places her elbow on her knee and rests her chin on the palm of her hand. Straight-on angle of Elizabeth, still biting her lip and looking anxious. She picks up a small pebble beside her. It is a simple, gray, and oval. She rolls the pebble around in her hands, but not looking at the it. She keeps staring off into the street with a…

The film that I have chosen to analyze is Lessons of Darkness by Werner Herzog. I chose this film because I really enjoy Herzog’s film style, and I also enjoy how he uses specific shots and scenes to portray how he is against the gruesome nature of war and attacks. In this film, I have chosen two sequences where I believe that Herzog is trying to get his point across of the violence that come from war. For example, as Herzog uses the first sequence of the birds, to the bones of the dead, to the…

The conception of the ancient struggle of man versus nature has been heavily warped in the modern world. From a contemporary standpoint it is difficult to think passively of the environment. In the light of the impending crisis of global warming and the changes associated with it, it is easy to think of the environment as both a victim and an agent of retribution: the continuously more common occurrences of dramatic weather and toxic surroundings serving as a condemning consequence of humanity’s…

harm to come upon his family. As he does this Tim Burton uses a centred close up camera shot of Carolyn closing their house doors building the tension of the audience as if there was going to be a war between the family and Angie, knowing that she wouldn’t take the deal. As the scene carries on there are a lot of over the shoulder camera shots between Angie and Barnabas as he strangles her. These camera shots display to the audience the emotion of each character as the scene plays out between…

Drugs that are used to enhance performances in professional sport has one big positive, to win. But when weighing up positives and negatives, the negatives have the upper hand. I will be agreeing with the negatives with these three reasons. The effect on the sportsman's self esteem and others, the feeling of being cheated on or let down. How quickly the word spreads, in seconds internationally everyone knows the crime the accused sportsman's committed. And also the consequences that comes with…

about morals or issues around the world and create emotions within the people. Tim Burton elicits emotions from the audience through connections to the messages showcased in his film that all become clear with lighting, sound, camera movements, shots, and angles. First, Burton’s empathetic imagination combines high key lighting, non-diegetic sounds and slow panoramic camera movement to draw out feelings of…

Comic books on the surface appear to be simple. However, beneath that surface lies much more depth than the images give off. The making of comics and how each individual scene is drawn, and laid out has much more complex workings than most readers would expect. Ella Cinders by Bill Counselman and drawn by Charles Plumb is one such example of how much depth and thinking goes into making comic strips. The strips themselves talk about the adventures of a woman named Ella. Beneath that, every little…

extreme wide shot and an objective point of view would be used in order to show all of the characters in the inn, introducing all of them. In order to show how important Billy Bones is, a low angle and low key lighting would be used to make him seem ominous. The Beginning of the Adventure occurs after Billy Bones, and Jim finds a treasure map on him. He and his friends decide to go searching for the treasure.…

was shot in long shots or medium shots causing it to be a loosely framed film. One scene in particular exposes the theme greatly by using many long or medium shots. The scene when Joe and his people were chasing Furiosa and the wives when they were going back to their village. Max was able to move freely throughout the scene and the movie. The longshots showed the violence everyone was doing. Max was being hunted down to die, all he had to do was get back to the village alive. These long shots…
