Cinematography Task Catch up

Cinematography Task Catch up 



Task One: 3 Colours Blue


The director uses close up shots of the car tire so depict to the audience that the characters are on a journey to somewhere. In addition the close up of the characters face is used to convey the emotions of the characters whilst on this trip. The focus switches from the girls face to the view of the cars. The director is showing the audience what the little girl can see. That puts the audience in a position to identify with this specific character. There is a close up of brake fluid leaking from the car, this foreshadows, to the audience, a car crash or disruption whilst driving on the road. The car crash that comes soon after this will have an emotional impact on the audience as they have been made to identify with the young girl previously through the use of closeups. 


Task Two: Citizen Kane


In the opening of this clip, closeups and panning shots are utilised to establish the setting to the audience. Dim lighting and the use of smoke creates an eerie and unsettling atmosphere for the audience. Dissolve cuts are strategically used within this clip to depict a passing of time to the audience. As the nurse is entering the room, the scene is shot through the broken snow globe to create a distorted image. This could've been used to reflect the man falling over, and the disorientation that he is experiencing.


Task Three: Moulin Rouge


The opening of the clip uses cuts between the typewriter and the character. A medium closeup of the male character is utilised to convey the characters' emotions whilst typing. The closeup of the typewriter also is used to aid the introduction of the story by highlighting the setting that the movie will be taken place in. The opening scene also conveys the feeling towards Moulin Rouge. Shortly after this, we are shown a crane shot of a building, this then cross-cuts to the inside of the said building and the dancing that is taking place. The continuation of this creates action and builds pace. Dissolve cuts are used throughout this scene to captivate all the high-intensity action that is taking place. Cutaway dissolves are used between the sign and the man typing, the swirling camera movements along with the camera movements are used to convey the disorientation that the man is experiencing.
