The Shining Analysis



Bat scene

The scene starts with a medium shot tracking Jack in the centre. He puts his arm over the chair showing his dominance. There is a window in the background showing light coming through.Jack is staring at the camera menacingly.

The next shot is a medium shot of Wendy she clearly looks anxious and frightened clutching on to her bat in fear she may have to use it. Her eyes are wide and watering as she speaks in a load whining voice to show her fear.

It goes back to another medium shot of Jack this time he moves from the chair over to his typewriter and work as he flicks through the pages quickly while smiling  and knocking his fist on to it show how much of a pointless waste it is. He looks at her knowing what she is worried about as he gives off a smug smile.

Next medium shot of Wendy shows her stuttering and not being sure to react because she fears Jacks reaction. She moves around lost for words looking confused.

It then tracks Jack around the room for a few seconds looking very threatening while he strokes the table. He remains in the centre of the shot.

It then to cuts to a medium shot of Danny looking shocked and disturbed. It zooms in on Danny's face as he doesn't move looks completely blank and traumatised. There is dissonant music and Jacks voice speaking to him, this creates a disturbing effect.

The next shot is a long shot with the screen red showing blood covering the screen symbolising death. There is as sea of blood flowing at the bottom. It then cuts to as shot of a door with the words "Redrum" written in red on it this is murder backwards and also shows death. This foreshadows what happens later in the film.

It then shows Wendy walking backwards away from Jack scared.  It then shows Jack getting aggressive and shouting at Wendy asking her questions he is pointing at himself whilst moving his head back to show his anger and selfishness. It cuts between Jack and Wendy making the violence and drama more effective
He refers to Wendy as “Wendy? Darling? Light of my life” in a sarcastic angry this a reference to Peter Pan and shows Wendy’s innocence comparing her to the character of Wendy Darling who was an ordinary girl pulled into a supernatural world like this Wendy.
 He switches his facial expression from smiling to frowning showing how angry he is. He moves more as he talks getting madder waving his arms around. The camera pans around him.

Then there is a shot of Wendy walking backward up the stairs still facing Jack. The back of Jacks head comes on screen as he is shouting and she is waving the bat. Even though she has the upper hand as she is a weapon Jack is very much the stronger and more dominant character in this situation. Wendy doesn't have much of an effect scaring Jack while Jack terrifies Wendy.

Jack is now dark in silhouette while Wendy is surrounded by light. This shows the characters role in the story of Wendy being good as a protagonist and Jack being bad as an antagonist.



Bathtub scene

The scene starts with a close up shot of the chief looking shocked making the audience wonder what he is seeing. It zooms on his face having a piercing high pitch noise in the background showing it is uncomfortable and getting worse. You can see he is shaking slightly.

It then shows a close up shot of the door key for room 237 which is important in the plot.
It then cuts to a medium Danny who is shaking and foaming at the mouth make the audience feel how awful it is for him to be experiencing this. It is similar to the first shot used showing both Danny and the cook are experiencing the same thing.

It then cuts to a wide shot carrying on with the same non-diegetic sound this a first person shot that pans around the room and walks down with Jack. This puts you in the place of the character and makes more frightening as it is more personal. It doesn’t show Jack in the shot until handing opening the door building to the reveal of the bathroom.

The bathroom has similar shapes and colours with bright light showing it. The light green, white and yellow colours create an unusual feel as it looks different to all the other rooms. The shot is split directly in the middle with the end of the shower parting it in the centre. It is still a handheld shot as you can see the camera moving slightly.

It then cuts a medium close up shot of Jack looking scared of what he might see. This is one of the only times we see Jack looking worried as he is mostly seen as a threat.

There is then another shot of the room where we see a hand pull the curtain this tricks the audience into thinking there will be something horrible behind the curtain but in actuality there’s an attractive naked women.

Jack’s expression changes letting out a slight smile still he is seen as perverted.
You see the women walk out of the fully naked this would be very shocking for the audience because of how revealing it is.

There is a then a two shot of both Jack and the women shown to be sexual but the music still implies something sinister is going on. They slowly touch and hold each other. Before they stare at each other before the women reaches out to Jack. Jack knows that this wrong but goes along.
There is then an over the shoulder close up shot of shot of them kissing this shows intimacy and makes the audience uncomfortable. You can see Jack stops and widens his eyes seeing something is wrong before pulling away from her face.

The camera the whip pans to a medium shot of the mirror seeing the disgusting body of the women this would immediately shot the audience.

It then cuts back to Danny who has seen all of this and there is a disturbing laugh in the background from the women.

You see the women’s old decaying body in the bathtub to shock the audience.

Jack is very frightened as you see him with his mouth and eyes wide open hurrying away backwards.
You then see a medium shot of the women’s entire body chases Jack while laughing manically. This is horrifying image that would stay with the audience traumatising them.

Then shows an extreme close up of Danny as over the course off the scene he is getting more and more frightened so the camera got closer and closer.

It then shows her body rising up out of the bathtub indicating her rising from the dead.
You then see a long shot of the corridor now in darkness with Jack becoming a silhouette as he hastily gets away questioning if what he just saw was real. You can still hear the women laughing in the background.

Reflective analysis of our film, "The Concealed"

Within our film, we used both the horror and thriller genres; these were included as they usually get the most reactions from the viewers. Due to the fact that nearby there was an abandoned floor in a building, we thought that this was a perfect opportunity that we had to take advantage of. A total of 10 shots was used with a variety of camera techniques. Moreover, after we had finished the production of our film we decided on giving it the title of, "The Concealed".

We wanted the title to give the audience a clue as to what the theme of the sequence would be, however we did not want the title to give away what the whole film is about. In order to go along with this, we decided on making the title very short so that there was no big giveaways. Although this gives a clear clue as to what the sequence is about, it also gives a sense of mystery to the viewer as they do not have an idea to what is 'concealed'. The title allows the audience to know that something within the building is in hiding, however it makes the audience want to know more about the film and what, or who is concealed from the outer world.

Additionally, we used a number of horror conventions to enhance the successfulness of our sequence. For instance; we used fears and anxieties through using low key lighting throughout the most of it as it is common to be scared of the dark, dissonant music was used as non diegetic sound throughout the sequence as this increases the tension in the audience so that they feel on edge and frightened about what is to come, treating situations were also used at the end of the sequence when there is a shot of the dangerous figure as it reaches out to the camera due to the fact that this can be seen as quite vicious and threatening; this engages the audience as they also feel a little threatened and intimidated by the character.

Throughout the film, we managed to include a variety of techniques that would result in a successful sequence. For example, the starting shot is one that is tracking down the corridor as we wanted to give the audience the impression of mystery and horror through the use of setting. 


The first shot is a mid shot used to show the location we also she characters shadow walking in the centre of the screen. This is from the characters point of view so the audience can empties with him. We used a handheld camera shaking as the protagonist walks to show the characters nerves and makes the audience fear what is in. 

We used a close up of a box being open by a hand to create mystery of what is going and subtly showing more of the killer. The next shot is a long shot of the protagonist going into the room where the box is open we don't know it is that room until the camera pans down to the box implying the killer is close. The shot also shows all of the room seeing all the details.

There is a mid shot showing the killer from behind walking menacingly around the room this doesn't showing his face and builds tension for who he is. The scene uses low key lighting in dark room to show he is a mysterious character and is evil.

We then used a close up on a hand banging on the window showing the protagonist fear and creating a shock for the audience when the diegitic sound of the banging interrupts the non-diegetic music used throughout.

We then use another  mid shot of the killer this time turning his head cutting the next shot before showing his face. The creates more tension for the audience shows the killer has now caught up to the protagonist and implies something bad will happen soon.

There was an extreme closeup of an eye to show the emotions of the character so that that the audience has the chance to empathise with them. This is the first time we see any of the main character as throughout he is just holding the camera we did this so that anybody can relate to him no matter who you are. 

The final shot is a close up of the killer which is used as a jump-scare to instantly frighten the audience the shot ends with the killer grabbing the camera implies he has attacked or killed the protagonist. This happens for a short duration of time so it stays in the audiences mid and that don't have enough time to process what it is. It is used as a frighting image. There is alight on the killer contrasting the low key lighting used throughout the film this makes the killer seem abnormal and out if place.

It then cuts to black for a long duration so the audience can process what has just happened and calm from the shock they have expreinced.

Train Spotting Group Analysis

The sequence opens with a long shot to reinforce that the setting is a nightclub. The loud, diegetic music shows that the setting is an upbeat environment in a nightclub. Also, the characters within the shot are placed very close together with low-key lighting, showing the intimacy of the club. There is also coloured lighting creates an almost 'trippy' feel to show the effects of the drug use which is shown throughout the sequence.

The next scene is a wide shot, which is used to show multiple characters around a bar, from the waist up and also we can see a significant amount of the background. In the mise-en-scene there is a board showing names of drinks and prices in the background. There are drinks named "Penis Enlarger" and "Pure Shag", showing the characters casual attitude towards sex, this is further emphasised through a couple standing below the board flirting and touching each other in a sexual way. 


Mark Renton is shown standing in front of a painting of Robert De Niro from 'Taxi Driver' in a wide shot. Mark is framed in the centre of the shot with others around him which could suggest that he is at the centre of the violence and drug use in the film and draws other people into that lifestyle as the character he is standing in front of in 'Taxi Driver' uses a lot of drugs and is violent, this could foreground the idea that Mark is a violent drug user. This puts him in a position of power as he has two guns painted next to him and gives him a sense of masculinity.

Subtitles are used to emphasise the loud volume of the music and the extreme party atmosphere as it is too loud to clearly hear the dialogue.

The shot is a long shot which zooms in on Spud and Tommy into a close up. This allows us to listen to their intimate conversation they are having about sex and the lack of sex they are having due to their girlfriends control. The camera shot is a high angle shot making them look weak and  inferior. 

As it cuts to the next shot, there is another reference to 'Taxi Driver' in the girls bathroom and the shot is tracking the girls moving to the sink in a mid shot. There is also other women shown walking in front of the camera during the shot showing that the club is a busy place.

Next, there is a low-angle mid-shot of their girlfriends showing that they have authority over the men, this reinforces the girls dialogue saying that they won't allow their boyfriends to have sex with them as "watching them suffer is too much fun". This also contrasts with the low-angle shot of the men shown seconds before as it reinforces the idea that the women have power over the men.

In the mise-en-scene, the bathroom is painted pink, showing femininity as it is a female area and also, the female characters are talking about intimate subjects in there, this illustrates the closeness between the characters and also again, the casual attitude towards sex.

The bathroom scene cuts, ending with the dialogue "useless motherfucker" and the next shot opens with tommy shouting "useless motherfucker, that's what she called me". Here we can tell through his language and his dominant position in shot that he is angry and dominant over Spud as he takes up more space in the shot and also he is placed higher up, almost shouting down to Spud. "useless motherfucker" was said differently as Tommy said it aggressively and his girlfriend said it casually, this shows that she is being insulting towards him and he feels upset by her insult, again reinforcing that she has power over him.

The next shot is an eye-line close up of Mark and we again see him standing in front of the Taxi Driver painting, he is shown as nervous as he is looking around to see the others before he decides to move, smoking a cigarette to calm himself. The shot cuts to other people, so we are seeing the action from Mark's point of view. The shot then cuts back to looking at him in a mid shot and we see him drinking a pint, mimicking what we have just seen others do in the club when we were watching through his point of view. 

The next shot tracks Mark's movement through the crowd of people dancing in the club from multiple perspectives including Mark's perspective. The tracking is made up of multiple shots which are short in duration and they are also shot with handheld cameras. This makes us feel involved with the film as we are watching him move from the perspective of other people within the nightclub.

The next shot cuts back to the bar, again with a mid-shot at a wide angle. In this shot we see the same couple laughing whilst the man is putting his hand down the woman's top, again reinforcing the intimate nature of the nightclub.

The shot cuts back to the handheld camera in a close-up of Mark, we see he is looking at something.

The next shot we see a couple kissing whilst taking drugs in a two-shot close-up. This shot lasts for two seconds which conveys the quick, erratic behaviour which you would expect to see with party drugs. And then the shot cuts back to a mid-shot with Mark in the right of the frame and a couple kissing which takes us the centre and the left if the frame. The couple have red lighting on them which could be seen as symbolising love and passion, however the red light is not on
Mark, suggesting that he could be a loner. The idea that he is a loner would reinforce why he was stood in front of Robert De Niro's character from Taxi Driver as he was a loner in that film. 


In the next shot, the camera pans around mark with a mid-shot, whilst zooming in on him slightly. This shot duration is around 4 seconds long which is double the length of the shots building up to this shot where we can clearly see that Mark is focusing on something. 

The next shot we are looking at Diane from Mark's perspective in a long-shot, and as it is from his perspective we are able to see what he is looking at in the previous shot. Diane is leaning on the bar, alone in the background of the shot, however there is someone in the left of the shot in the foreground however the camera is focusing on the background, not the foreground and the other person in the shot is blurred showing the depth-of-field. 

 showing looking at something in a  him looking building up to the appearance of Diane. In a median shot the camera is focused directly on Diane with a white light shining on her this shows how important she is. It cuts between a close up shot of Mark staring at her while she looks bored and disinterested in her shot. As she walks away the light is still on her show he is still watching her as the camera is still tracking her.

There is a two-shot of her with another man who speaks to her and then a median shot of Mark showing through his facial expression that he may be jealous. The camera stops for a duration of time to focus on Mark's emotion.

As she is leaving there is a long shot with the large red building as a background. There is a lot of the colour red in it with the background, the door and her coat. Red is often used to symbolise love and this shows love leaving. 

This cuts to a slightly wider shot which includes the club's title "volcano" this parallels what is happening. Mark is moving around a lot showing his nerves. This contrasts Diane who is calm and walks strait on showing she has made up her mind. There are close together showing that there are comfortable around each other.

It cuts to a two-shot close-up showing both there faces on either side of the screen looking at each other. The scene uses symmetry showing romance between the two characters.

Kill Bill scene analysis

The scene is shot in black and white showing that it is a flashback set in the past. This is often used in film noir. Low key lighting is used to create shadows using both light and dark to make it mysterious. This sets the scene for the rest of the movie and tells the audience how it all began.

The scene starts with a median shot showing the bride walking through a church. The camera is tracking backwards as she walks to follow her and show her movement. She is shown as happy as she is visibly smiling. This establishes the good mood and the calm religious location with the church imagery around her. There is then a point of view long shot of a doorway showing outside which is lighter focus on that showing she is should go there.  Her expression changes with a reaction shot, when she hears the sound of a flute; she has a panicked expression on her face and is clearly breathing heavily. This gives the scene an air of tension, as the audience know that something ominous is about to happen and that the bride is afraid.  This shows whatever made the sound is bad news. She walks out to the door with her back turned to Bill showing she doesn’t want anything to do with him.

There is a montage of close ups on the bride and Bill’s faces. This is similarly used in the good, the bad and the ugly (1966) as it goes back and forth between the two shots as the music builds: this creates tension between them. The close ups are used to show purely the characters’ emotion in the scene and the small changes that happen. The screen is split through the middle between the actor and the background. The bride is always on the left side which contrasts to Bill who is always on the right side: this is to show distance between them. On the opposite side of the screen to them, there is always negative space insinuating a difficult past between them.


It shows both characters standing still in individual shots with the camera panning and tilting while they walk. It shows both of the characters feet as they walk – this is a trademark of Quentin Tarrantino. When they come together it becomes a two shot scene being symmetrical using rule of thirds for framing. The mood has changed from being uncomfortable to being relaxed around each other as they are now looking into each other’s eyes and smiling. This shot goes on for a long time and they use it to show the exposition through dialog.

Analysis of the opening to Halloween (1978)




Halloween is a horror film in the slasher movie genre. This is shown by the villain being a human wielding a knife as opposed to using a supernatural threat.  This makes the movie scarier as it is more realistic.

Low key lighting is used to create fear in the audience as people are scared of the dark. The opening scene introduces the character of Michael Myres to the audience. The scene is shot in the first person to bring you closer to the character and makes you feel worse when he does something awful as it is like you are doing it, bringing brief feelings of guilt to the audience.
The film is set in a typical suburban neighbourhood making it relatable to the audience showing that it could happen to them. It contrasts the known of the normal house with the unknown of the murderer.

The pumpkins give us an impression of time - it is set on Halloween which makes it spookier since people associate fear with that time of the year.
The light going out around the cross on the window represents the couple abandoning religion for sex which may anger Micheal. The church bells sound like funeral bells signalling that death is approaching.

Michael's mask is shown early on in a lighter tone foreshadowing it to be used menacingly later on. There is a spotlight on the mask before being picked up by Michael showing its importance.
Darkness around the eyes could represent Michael’s turn to darkness when he puts on the mask.  It also hides most of the scene making the situation more mysterious.

There is dissonant music in the background throughout, which gets louder, for example in the scene where Michael gets the knife, implying danger. Finally discordant music is used to great effect building up to the murder of Michael's sister enhancing the fear factor.
The murder is similar to the famous shower scene in the movie Psycho in that there is no blood or cuts shown on camera and all the violence is implied. This is done through clever editing making the audience think they saw blood when in actuality nothing has been shown.

The murder is very sexualised making the audience uncomfortable and unsure of what to feel, this is controversial to see a women being killed in that way.

In the final shot of the scene the narrative changes to the third person and the killer is unmasked. The reveal is that the killer we have been following for the scene is just a young boy. It is shocking for the audience to see someone who looks so innocent and sweet be capable of something so horrible. This is foreshadowed earlier on in the movie with his hand being show giving the audience a clue to the twist. The camera pulls away as Michael looks on showing Michael is still out there and may strike again.

Evaluate how 'Deadpool' became a box office a box-office success and how a film's success is measured.

Success is measured in different ways. Mostly it is about how financially successful it is at the box office when it releases. Although some movies do not make much profit to begin with, over time they gather more popularity and can become cult classics.  Other ways in which a film can be deemed successful are longevity, being critically acclaimed and winning awards.

Deadpool, given its small budget and off the wall humour was never sure to make money, but in actuality it became massively successful earning $782,612,155 worldwide according to boxofficemojo.com which was roughly 14 times the movies budget. It also was critically successful having an 84% positive rating on rottentomatoes.com with critics enjoying its unique humour.

One of the main reasons this movie was successful was that the source material was already popular with the large comic book fan base, who wanted to see the movie before it was even out.
The movie had been in development since the early 2000s but kept being shelved as various studios didn’t have faith in the project. Over that time the audience for the movie grew as there became more Deadpool fans. It was only in 2014 where according to cinemablend.com, test footage of the movie was leaked onto the internet. This was popular with fans so the studio greenlit the project.
 Deadpool’s character had already appeared in the 2009 movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine also played by Ryan Reynolds. Reynolds played a different version of the character to what he did in the Deadpool movie. The version of Deadpool in that movie was unlike the original comic book character, taking away all the things the fans originally loved about the character leading to the film’s failure. When the new movie was eventually released fans were happy that it was the Deadpool they originally fell in love with in the comic book proving that being accurate to the source material pays off.

Superhero movies with high age ratings are often not successful as the core target audience of teenagers would not be able to legally see the movie. This led to speculation that like most other superhero movies it would be rated 12 in UK and pg-13 in the US although most fans didn’t want this as they wanted to see the vulgar language, violence and gore that Deadpool is typically known for in a movie. This opinion was also shared by the movie’s producer Lauren Schuler Donner according to cinemablend.com. The movie was finally given a 15 in the UK and an R rating in the US. Fans still went to see the movie proving that if done right they can make a successful superhero movie with a high age rating.

Extensive viral marketing was used to gain interest in the movie mostly poking fun at the different ways movies are promoted. Some examples are shown below:




               
 






This matches the humour used in the movie and gets interest from new people who may have enjoyed the trailers and posters so would check the movie out.

Deadpool was successful because it was unique and original giving audiences something they don’t often see instead of giving them the same old superhero movie that there are so many of. The movie is primarily a comedy so people who not fans of superhero movie still had something to enjoy. .  Deadpool’s meta- humour and breaking of the fourth wall allows the movie to poke fun at itself and be more relatable to the audience. This unique combination of factors ensured that Deadpool became a hit.

Captain America: Civil War personal response

My favourite movie of the summer was Captain America: Civil War which is the third Captain America movie and the thirteenth film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The plot of the movie is: the government releases a new act where the Avengers have to only go on government approved missions to prevent the harm of innocent civilians. This leads to the Avengers being divided into who agrees and who disagrees with this proposition.

The Russo brothers manage to perfectly write a large cast of characters. Not only did it include most of the heroes from the previous movies, it also introduces Black Panther and the new version of Spider-Man to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Even though it has a total of twelve superheroes it still is balanced and gives each character a time to shine.  The plot still remains focused on the main characters of Captain America and Iron Man.

The character of Captain America has changed since the first movie, as in the first film he is used as a tool for the government to fight their battles; in the second, he learns that the government are not always what they seem and not to be trusted. In this movie he is finally taking a stand against the government which opposes his original purpose - even going as far as putting down his shield at the end of the movie symbolising him giving up the role of Captain America. His main goal is to protect Bucky from harm destroying his relationship with his teammates in the process.

Iron Man on the other hand, feels guilty and wants to make up for his actions. Although he is the antagonist of the movie, he is not the villain. The movie makes it debatable whether Captain America or Iron Man were correct. The closest thing the movie has to a villain is Zemo who is just a man manipulative enough to split up the team. His motivation is to avenge the death of his wife which parallels Black Panther and Iron Man who blame Bucky for the death of their parents.

Black Panther is a great introduction of a new character and good representation of an African superhero. Spider-man brings back the youth and fun to the character that other versions lacked. Vision has developed from being just the deus ex machina at the end of the last movie to becoming more human because of his relationship with Wanda. He has gone from solving problems for Stark to creating them.

The action scenes in the movie are very well edited and remain relatively grounded for most of the movie until the airport scene where they show off the more science fiction based powers like Ant-man shrinking and growing. This scene is one of best action scenes in superhero movies as it shows every character fight each other at once using their powers to their full potential. Constantly showing the audience things they have not seen before.

The final fight between Captain America, Iron Man and Bucky is a powerfully emotional scene where none of the characters are holding back from killing each other. Before the scene it tricks the audience into thinking things will resolve when in actuality they get worse. It is heart-breaking to see the characters you’ve followed through all the movies beat each other in such a brutal way. Captain America: Civil War was the best movie of summer 2016 as it showed the characters deal with the consequences of their actions whilst not shying away from using the humour you would expect from a Marvel movie.  It has all the best things from the other marvel movies and more, I would definitely recommend the movie.
