The first technique used in this film to set the scene was an extreme close up of the Comedians smiley face badge, and then zoomed out to show the comedian in the kitchen in his dark apartment smoking and watching tv.this creates a mild tone and leads us slowly into the film.
This is followed by a point of view shot at the tv, this then zooms in and the scene changes into a news interview where the basic camera shots are used to develop the setting of a news interview. this adds a dramatic and sad mood created by the themes of the interview.
The scene then goes back to the comedians apartment the channel is changed and the song 'unforgettable' starts and sets up a light mood. there is a point of view shot of the comedians apartment door and then an over the shoulder shot of the other side of the door and then the door is kicked in, in slow motion and the comedian stands and says " just a matter of time I spose" and the fight commences. the dark lighting of the apartment gives the scene a isolated look and the smooth music contrasts against the destructive fight that takes place, this changes the tone to more intense and hardened look.
to be continued ...
Looking great: make sure to focus on the important film techniques and also link them to a mood created or how they fit the film within a genre. Keep going and then focus on four techniques more closely: look at my blog for suggestions on what to write. Looking forward to hearing more from you!
