A Beautiful Mind Analysis

Eventually, Charlene joins Dicky on the porch and that is when the shot switches to a close-up. I believe the close-up shot allowed the audience to understand and feel Charlene and Dicky’s emotions as if they were there with them. This scene between Charlene and Dicky used high-angle shots, low-angle shots, and eye-level shots. The high and low-angle shots were used when Charlene and Dicky were at different heights. The shot switched between the two depending on who was talking when Charlene was talking to Dicky the high-angle shot was used to give the audience a better sense of Charlene’s physical position in relation to Dicky and vice versa. The eye-level shots were used when they were both on the porch, which also is when the single character’s point of view was used to film. The camera was position right over the characters shoulders when speaking and position on the other person as if the audience were the ones talking to the

In the film, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, the camera proxemics focus on characters, Nurse Ratched and Billy. The setting takes place in the psych ward, where all the other patients watch Nurse Ratched punish Billy for sleeping with a woman. At first, Billy thought that sleeping with a woman encouraged his masculinity, but Nurse Ratched scolding him causes him to feel guilty over his “inappropriate” actions. The camera framing between the two characters in this particular scene differentiates with the spacing of

Dirty Dancing was released in 1987. The film clip I chose was from the end of the season talent show. Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze) approaches Baby’s (Jennifer Grey) table and tells her father “Nobody puts baby in a corner.” In this scene, Johnny grabs Baby hand and escorts her towards the stage while everyone looks shocked even to see him. The individuals on the stage are singing their farewell song, but they immediately stop to let Johnny capture the spotlight. The cinematography used throughout this scene focuses mainly on Johnny and Baby. The lightings utilized in this clip were low-key and three-point lighting. These different lighting techniques are applied in the movie to help set the tone and mood for the film scene. The

The film “Raging Bull” made in 1980 by Martin Scorsese was based on a self destructive, highly emotional boxer named Jake La Motta as he battles through life. As his fierce attitude and violent temper takes him to the top of ring it ruins his family and life outside of boxing. Throughout the film we discussed the importance of the cinematography through out the film and why it played such an important role in developing “Raging bull”. Also the theme of anger and violence is displayed throughout the film. Jake never changes, from start to finish he is an emotional wreck, isolated and quick tempered.

Ridley Scott’s film Blade Runner is known for its incredible use of very low key lighting, the dark appearance of the film not only exemplifies the futuristic L.A city but also ties the film in with a modernized film noir style. The low key lighting in combination with the neon lights and signs creates a correlation between the light and the dark, this represents the conflict throughout the film between humanity and the replicants. Investigating the lighting throughout the scene when Deckard, played by Harrison Ford, retires the replicant Pris, Played by Daryl Hannah; this scene incorporates a well placed combination of blue, white, pink, and green light to develop a dark but colorful environment. This mix between high key and low key lighting is vital to the visual development of the films central conflict and dangerous mood of the city.

One of the most evident cinematic techniques that Tim Burton uses to develop his hopelessly bleak style is the use of a strong contrast of high and low-key lighting or colors. Tim Burton 's use of this helps show the contrast of the insider and outsider world. When the viewer is watching they get a sense of suspense and start to second guess whether or not they should trust the outsider. In Edward Scissorhands Burton uses a high-key low-key light contrast when Peg is in her car and sees Edward 's house in her side mirror. When the viewers are watching they get a frightened sense and wonder whether or not Edward or whomever is in the house will

Throughout his life in making films, Tim Burton has shown his unique talent and vision. He proceeds taking advantage of the cinematic techniques; lighting, sound, and camera movements creating a certain mood/tone. These three techniques are used numerous of times for the duration of each film. Although, many various emotions are constructed, there are feelings that anyone may connect to. Tim Burton is a successful filmmaker and has inspired many with the use of his cinematic techniques.

It is about two major components, design and composition. One design hand, not only in this scene, but also the whole movie’s tone tends to use bright lighting to emphasize on the nervous environment in 1970s. The bright color in the scene shows the aesthetic, stressing on characters’ emotion and contemporary society’s situation. The based tone of the whole movie is to stress on the position between the main characters and the white people and the main characters change their the character when they face different kind of people. When Katherine is work in the calculation room, the color usually cold color because the calculation room give audiences the stress feeling. On the other hand, the cold color also present the distance between Katherine and white men because the distance between she and the white men make audiences feel they are not partner, they more look like stranger. Therefore, most of time when Kathrine stay in the calculation room, the room color usually is cold color. On the other hand, the color is changing when Katherine goes back to her house or facing to her friends or daughters. The cold color turn into warm color. For example, when Katherine enters to her three daughters ' bedroom, the tone of color are warm colors because the director want audiences to feel about the warm family between Katherine and her three daughters. Therefore, the color can give audiences totally different feeling when the director use different type of color in different moments because the colors can present characters’ emotions even the characters do not need any

The films One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest and, A Beautiful Mind portray Hollywood images of the treatment. It pictures the dramatic scene of a pleading patient dragged to a treatment room, forcibly administered electric currents as his jaw clenches, his back arches, and his body shakes while being held down by burly attendants or by foot and wrist restraints. The truth is that patients are not covered into treatment. They may be anxious and reluctant, but they come willingly. They have been told why the treatment is recommended, the procedures have been explained, and many have seen videos images of the procedures. The result is the application of the Hippocratic axiom “premium non nocere” (above all, do no harm), which combines the principles of beneficence and non-maleficence: “I will use treatment to help the sick according to my ability and judgment, but I will never use it to injure or wrong them.”

This is a handheld shot, first of this type in the film. The clear contrast from having a steadicam to which it suddenly becomes shaky, stands out and shows that we have hit the exciting incidents in the narrative plot representing that they are having troubles in their relationship. This shows the importance of film shots and their impact it can give off to the audience. From then on, the film includes more shaky handheld shots, giving not only a contrast in film shots but also their own contrast in their relationship and that they are changing.

This is the story of Duke of York, Prince Albert (Bertie) who assumes the throne after his brother abdicated and became King George VI of United Kingdom of Great Britain. The story depicts his journey in overcoming his stammering. Because of his speech impediment, everyone sees him unfit to be a king. After countless attempts of engaging in different techniques, he still struggles with verbal communication in public. His wife, Queen Elizabeth employs an Australian speech therapist, Lionel Logue to help him. Bertie came very close to giving up but Lionel managed to change his mind by showing him the progress he made. Bertie gradually improves with Lionel's unexpected techniques. When Britian came to war, Bertie has become significantly better and managed to suppress him stammering. He then successfully delivers a speech to lead Britain forward to a victorious war.

This is done through the use of mainly close-up shots allowing the audience to feel as though they are upfront with the situation and gives them a clear viewpoint of the documentary as well as to see Damon’s facial expression toward the situation he is placed in. The documentary also utilises in medium close up shots and medium shots to give the audience a larger viewpoint and allow them to see where the scenes are set.

For the cinematography analysis of both movies, I will be basing it on the final scene of both movies.

Image: This shot is a bird’s eye view medium shot and it begins as a continuation of the pan from the previous shot that it faded from. The camera moves from edge of Jane’s bedroom and pans to the right. In the image the audiences see Jane and Ricky lying down together hugging. As the camera reaches the center of Jane’s bedroom the two jolt up looking at what the audience could perceive as Jane’s bedroom door.

Olly is on the left side while maddy is on the right side of the picture. Beautiful house and trees are in the background, Olly is in the middle ground and maddy is in the foreground. Looking shocked about the fact that Maddy left the house, Olly is trying to tell her to go back and you cannot see Maddy’s face in this frame, but she looks like she is trying to convince him to go. Olly and Maddy are having an intense conversation on whether she should leave or go back to the house. It looks like the scene is in the early morning. Standing outside of Olly’s house are Olly and Maddy and the scene looks very realistic. The distance is short and the scene is between medium and a close-up because we can see the subjects and the setting, the camera
