The theme in the film Ferris Beuller’s day off is “life moves pretty fast, if you don’t stop and look around once and awhile you could miss it” - Ferris Bueller. People easily get caught up in today’s society and don’t stop to appreciate the little things in life or they are always worried about what will happen if they don’t follow the rules or take a risk. Ferris Bueller was simply stopping to smell the roses. One image characteristic used in the film Ferris Bueller’s day off is the “looking into an event” technique.

This movie offered a variety of multiple shots in a great and fun way tieing them all together smoothly to make one classic

This can be seen across his many movies from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Edward Scissorhands, “Vincent”, and “Frankenweenie”. In all of these films his distinct style is developed through the use of a strong contrast of high and low key lighting to show contrast between characters and circumstances, a recurring motif of mobs antagonizing the antagonist, and the frequent use of shot reverse shots to show the development of the relationship between the outsider and the people on the inside.
