Cinematography Tasks

TASK 4: Citizen Kane by Orson Welles(1940)

In Citizen Kane the scenes are static and unmoving, a typical aspect of the time of 1940s with the camera on some sought of tripod, incorporated in the video are close ups with acute shots. Such as establishing shots, medium shots, wide shots, close up and extreme close ups used. Tilts and extreme zooms are incorporated also. They established shots used show to the audience what is going on in the scene and the setting of it and grant the audience quaint knowledge about the scene itself, but also not giving too much away. 
the cinematography is sound and editing of the movie. The enigma code is produced through the few sounds heard in the scene creating the build up of tension. Synergy is created through the use of sounds, with mostly parallel sounds. With the many transitions used creates mystery and so interests the audience into the plot more.


TASK 5: Moulin Rouge by Baz Luhrmann

The cinematography works for the second clip. The parallel sound creates the synergy contrasting the image of the scene. #
In Moulin Rouge, there opening incorporates quick cuts and many transitions which gives a sense of a hubbub in the scene and setting. The component of strain in the scene makes the audience interested with it as they are seen quite fast. There is a lot of hypersexualisation of the females in the scene with uses of close-ups to show realism and also to the audience the plot will be around these types of people the plot surrounds; but not giving too much of the story away and so intrigues the audience.


TASK 6: A Touch of Evil by Orson Welles

In A Touch of Evil the tension is built with the use of slow transitions. The slow pace of the clip builds up suspense round the scene. The clip uses the 180 degree rule which doesn't leave the audience confused. Medium close up/close up shots allow mystery to flow through the clip as the audience is still left in the dark about what is about to happen and build up the story line. The over the shoulder shot helps to build tension and realism in the scene but also identification as the audience is emerged with seeing what the character is doing.
The sound and cinematography work with the parallel sound, creating synergy within the scene where the story creates realism within it. Use of sound bridges within the scene build up tension and the use of diagetic sound is also intense to greater immerse the audience to think they are in the scene.
