Cinematography Opening sequence

 Rush hour 3

1)The scene starts with a rising crane shot that transitions with a clean cut into a birds eye view of the whole city. The camera zooms drastically into the buildings and tilts leading to a high angled camera shot of the roads. Next it zooms in again at a road full of traffic and tilts above one of the main characters at an extreme high angled shot. The pacing of the cuts seems to slow down during the next scene where there's only a few clean cuts that simply show the character dancing from multiple angles.

2) The birds eye view allows the audience to understand the location and the situation of the environment the movie is set in. There are several shots of the buildings towering over those below. The pace of these shots show the grand scale of the movie itself and almost glorifies the city with how much attention they put on it.

3) The extreme high angled shot of the protagonist at 0:47 of the clip may be communicating with the audience to tell us the unusual personality of the character especially when hes the main focus during sluggish traffic with him being the only object/person of movement in the scene.

Blog Feedback

  WWW: You started really well with the film poster analysis and your mise-en-scene analysis tasks. I really like the choice of still image to analyse and you’ve also picked out some good elements of the mise-en-scene in the Get Out scene. You’ve written in some detail for those first two blog tasks and that’s something you want to continue and build on as the course develops because A Level is a very demanding standard. EBI: The isolation and illness going around this half-term have made things very tricky but it’s now crucial that we get back on top of the workload because constantly being behind makes for a tough year. You are missing four pieces on the coursework side but I’m confident you’ll be able to catch those up over half-term. Remember, for the mise-en-scene recreation you can now simply submit detailed planning rather than the full video. In terms of your analysis work, the key feedback is regarding the depth and detail required at A Level – just as you demonstrate in your

Sound Analysis

1)  Clockwork Orange-  The music choice isn't what I would expect from this type of scene from that movie with all the chaos going on around it as the guy hits them all into the water and holds a knife. I believe the director chose this music to show us what hes thinking not just from there internal monologue but through non diagetic sound. The characters mind sees his actions as methodical and planned so everything going on is within his control.   Funny Games- At the beginning the music seems to be parallel to whats going on in the scene with a nice calm and classic song maybe trying to show that the family is just your everyday normal group of people. Then near the middle the music takes a drastic shift and becomes contrapuntel to whats going on. The director might be trying to say that underneath the façade of them being normal they're lives are in constant chaos. The 2nd music was loud and a obnoxious. The narrative might delve into how a stereotypical family would react t
