Camera Movements- There were no crazy movements as there was in Baby Driver. Everything was more subtle and straight forward. Some of the biggest scenes in the movie had no camera movement at all.
Camera Shots- The shots that were utilized in this movie were definitely close up and medium shots. The main character's emotions were very important in understanding the movie. These shots helped.
Mis En Scene:
Costume-The costumes played an important role in the main character. You can see as the costume changes throughout the movie so does the character's personality.
Lighting- In the movie sometimes you see things like colored circles come across the screen, this created a dreamlike view. Also, some scenes were darker than others. This helped portray the emotion of the main character.
Actor- The actor in the movie really made the main character seem like something was off since the begging. As the movie progressed you saw him go crazy.
Make-up/ Hair- The main character was a clown. So, there was clown make-up and green hair. Special effects make-up was used for things like gunshot wounds.
Props- There were many props such as guns, signs, and other basic items.
Setting- The movie takes place in a populated city named "Gotham".
Common Sound- You hear diegetic sounds like cars, trains, and gunshots but, there is also a score and incidental music that helps add depth to the scene.
Common Editing- Cross dissolves were used to show the passing of time but, the majority of the movie were jump cuts.
Elements of the Genre- The movie committed a crime and had some action-packed scenes. For example, when the Joker held the riot I would call that an action-packed scene.
Elements I like- I really like the plot. It is different from other movies I watched because it was the backstory of a character I already know, which is very interesting to see.
Elements I Dislike- I dislike that the movie felt me wanting more. There was no ending.
This blog I will be dissecting two more genres.
Crime
Camera Angles- Low angles are used in this genre to make people seem more powerful. High angles are also used to make people seem small or weak.
Camera Movements- Crime films contain a plethora of camera movements some include; tilt, pan, and zoom.
Camera Shots- Shot like over the shoulder, establishing, and medium shots are common.
Mise En Scene- Costume- Costumes in crime movies tend to differentiate based on the narrative of the movie. For example, if the movie focused on those investigating the crime costumes are more likely to consist of detective outfits and suits. While, if it follows the narrative of the criminal, outfits will be different.
Lighting-Low lighting is used in the crime genre to create a shady atmosphere. It makes the scene seem suspicious.
Actor- The actors can be a variety of types of people. It usually consists of one main character versus the police.
Make-Up/ Hair- Special effects make up can be used for cuts, bruises or gunshots. this gives scenes a much more realistic feeling.
Props- Very similar to an action film, props such as guns, bombs, and crowbars are used during the crime scene.
Settings-Most of the time crime films are in busy towns or cities. More populated places cost more, therefore, they are more worth stealing/ doing another crime.
Editing in Genre- For the intense scenes in a crime movie, such as when the crime is being committed, the editing tends to be faster. These types of cuts make the film more exciting and thrilling.
Common Sound- Fast-paced music is used to make the scene seem faster and action-packed. This will usually happen in confrontation or when the crime is being committed.
Elements I like- I like the action and suspense. I also like that it is a broad genre and so many sub-genre fit underneath.
Elements I Dislike- Sometimes crime films can be very predictable.
