Hide and seek Screen shot

This screen shot uses a high angle and a close up of a young girl. The close up shows concern and the girls face, it is used in this scene to show expression on the young girls face. They also use the high angle to show how the girl is insignificant, weak and has little power over the situation because she is small and young girl. The high angle shot is also used to show how the girl is vulnerable or powerless. Finally it is used to make the scene seem more dramatic because the person at the high point shows power and the girl at a low level  shows less power.


 I like this image because it shows an extreme long shot of the city of where the movie is set. I like it because it fades out from the credits straight to the long shot which sets the scene, this is very affective way to start of a film.
  I believe this clip is quite menacing and intense because it shows a low angle of the main character, this shows how he has a lot of power and is important to the film. the low shot of the girl highlights how he is talking down to her and that she appears to be intimidated, purely form a one dimensional shot.





This shot invokes mixed feelings. It suggests relaxation with candles around the bath, however the message on the wall is very disturbing because it appears to be written using blood. The contrast of the light of the candles in a darkened room leaves you anticipating that something sinister is about to happen.


In this shot  of the river , surrounded by bare trees suggests a cold and barren area. It is effective because the   river and leafless trees give you a feeling of isolation and maybe hidden secrets in the water.This  highlights how the film could reflect the concept that something evil is about to unfold or that this scene will be about death 


I like this image because it shows a high angle shot of the girl and what she is doing. This shot highlights how she appears to be totally unaware of any potential danger as she seems to be focused on an innocent drawing. Also it looks like there maybe someone looking down at her, and she appears to be ignoring him

Hide and Seek trailer

Interview with the vampire Screen shot


This shot uses a high angle as well as an extreme long shot. The extreme long shot is used to great effect, they are used for setting the scene and shows the landscape. Straight away you know the film is set in a large city and by the fact there is a large bridge in a massive city it looks to be in America, so the long shot is used well to set the scene. It also looks to be a dark and scary film by the looks of the black background and the whit ghost like fading font used.


 I like this image because it shows a long shot of the vampire on a house, it is a flash back so it highlights what his life used to be like, how he could go out in the sun and ride to his house on his horse, it is a good picture because it does all this by doing a long shot which sets the scene.
 I like this image because it shows a close up of the vampire through a vale. It shows how he is obviously stalking someone, and looking at his pray or looking at a friend, it is a good image because it keeps the tension and dose not give away what is going to happen.


 I like this image because it shows a close up of his face which shows expression, it shows that he is obviously distressed in some manner. It is affective because his face is lit up although he is a vampire and is dead.
 I like this image because it shows a round table or a party filled with people. It uses a long shot to set the scene, it also highlights how none of the characters in this scene are that important because they would probably use a close up to show that, this shows how they are all probably going to be killed or something is going to happen.
I like this image because it shows where the film is set without using written credits, instead it links it into the shot by showing a sign on top of a building in the scene of San Francisco, it also uses a long shot of the place which sets the scene this is ver affective.

Se7ven Screen shot

The screen shot shows Red which is the color of blood, this highlights what the film is about. The image also shows a pen on whit paper which is covered in notes this contrasts with the blood on the screen and shows that film is not only about blood and gore but also shows how the film is about intelgence and crime investigating. The font shows normal hand writting which again shows how the film is interlectual and not just about blood.


 I like this image because it shows an open book which is being read and then puts the credits on top of the book, this is affective because they have discretely put the credits in without distracting the person watching the scene.
 I like this image because it shows the title of the film slowly shrinking into the book until it disappears, which is again used to great affect.  The font is white which contrasts and stands out against the black background.
 I like this image because it shows a close up shot of the book he is writing but it shows a shadow of his hands, which is affective because is shows how he is still writting as the page is being turned. A picture of the hand written book also shows how the film is about interlect.


 I like this image because it shows a close up of what he is doing, it also shows how he has been obviously working vey hard to get what he is doing done, I think this because he has plasters on his fingers and it looks like he hasn't washed his hands in a while.
I like this image because it again shows a close up of his fingers and what he is doing, it again shows dirty fingers, it highlights how he is repairing or fixing something together, its interesting because it contrasts with the stereotypical way image that sewing is portrayed as, which is women sewing, it automatically makes you think its a man although they don't show the face in this picture.

Se7en (Opening Credits)

The girl with the pearl earring screen shot

I Like this screen shot because it uses a long shot to set the scene. The shot shows a old victorian, bleak room surrounded by darkness, this highlights the film as a dark and depressive atmosphere. The font is white, which contrast with the black background. The font is in fading white which is also a bleak color, this keeps all the colors dark and faded. The font is also in an old victorian style which sets the film time.


 I like this image because it shows a close up of what she is doing, which in this case is cutting vegetables. I like it because it  is making a point that she is cutting vegetables, she is also using quite a blunt knife which could show she is a poor worker.
 I like this image because it again shows a fading white font which contrasts with the black background. it also shows a long shot which sets the scene and shows the type of conditions she is working in, which are awful.
 I like this image because it shows a  low angle shot of the working girl, this shows how she is obviously an important character in the film although she is dressed poorly and is cutting vegetables with a blunt knife.
 I like this image because it shows all the pictures that showed her cutting vegetables all linking in to this picture, which shows a massive table decorated by vegetable. It shows she is probably a servant to someone and is cooking food for someone else.
I like this picture because it shows a close up of her face which shows expression, she seems to be suprised by something or she may be scared, this is all shown in the close up which is used to great affect in this scene.

I like this image because it shows a high angle of the prison as a whole,it also displays where the film is goin to be set and how it is impossible to escape. It also shows how the high shot of the prison sets the scene.





I like this image becaus it convays how the prisoners are in significant and weak compared to the guard, who is holding the gun, which shows power. It uses a high angle/long shot looking over the officers shoulder, this highlight how the officer has more power than the hundreds of prisoners in the prison grounds.





I like this image because it shows a low angle sot of the whole prison. This is used to great affect because this highlights how the prison is a very important place or there is something or somebody inside the building, which is of importance to the film as a whole.

I like this because it uses a low angle shot of the police officers which again shows power. I also like it because all the officers are armed and are fully uniformed, this is very affective because it shows that they have power over the prisoners. They also take a central shot which seems to make the scene more dramatic because they are just marching straight through the middle and it is as if they no the have so much power.

This screen shot displays petals falling on the character, as he enters the arena; this shows how he has is a loved character and a character withe supreme importance.  It uses a low angle shot, this is used to enhance the fact that the character is the hero and seems to have great power. It shows a close up to show expression on his face, he looks to be feeling very confident.


 I like this because it shows how this great powerful general has been changed into a slave. It is very affective to the film as a whole because it highlights how he was at the top and now he is right at the bottom of the food chain again.








 I like this because it shows a low shot to show he has tramendous power and strength. Its is very affective because it shows him with him arms spread out and him screaming, this shows how he has just one a battle and is loving doing what he is doing, so it shows a changing point in the film.













I like this because it shows a low shot to show he has power. It also so shows a close up of his face which shows expression. It  is affective because it highlights him as very heron again and how he has made him self high in the food chain. He is now standing up to the emperor.









I like this because this image contrasts with the previous image. It shows a low shot for power again, but it also highlights a close up shot of his face, which shows how he is upset and the way it has been shot, it also displays him as evil because of the darkness of the shot as a whole.



I like this image because it shows piece, this contrasts with the whole film. It shows him in a fie ld as if he is making his way to heaven and that he has done his fighting for one life. I like it because it also highlights him as a hero because he is in a gold barley field.

Screen shot Kill Bill

This image contrasts with film because Kill Bill the film is portrayed as a revenge and blood filled film, the image shows a black and white background. The image shows a girl driving a car as she talks, it shows a desert around her and as she drives the camera gets closer and closer to her. This happens gradually as she drives further the camera gets closer, this is a good technique used (shown in the first picture).(Close shot to show expression,long shot sets the scene)






I like this image because it displays the main character injured, which sets the scene. The image shows a close up which highlights her expression, finally i like it because it shows the image in black and white, so it does not show the generic red to show blood, which is very affective.








I like this because it shows the whole intro and then suddenly cuts to the credits and title, this is very affective because it allows you to get straight into the movie without having to read credits for two minutes and then after your able to read the credits. It also uses a large white font against a black back ground which contrast.






I like this because it dislplays a city lit up by lights which attracts the eyes, it then fades out to show who the movie is made by, but it is made up by lights from the city that just faded out this is used to great affect.


Kill Bill vol 2 - Intro

Hannibal (2001) - Official Trailer

Screen shot 2 Hannibal







I Like this image because it shows a long shot of the city, with a morning sunrise. It is an interesting image because unlike the dark and horrible pictures shown before it displays a sense of happiness and beauty.






I like this image because it displays a dark and scary feel to the scene. It shows a normal large font which is very affective. It is in red which contrasts with the black background. A lot like the other clips it fades out which is very affective. 






This snap shot displays a long shot, it sets the scene and enables you to see where the next scene is going to be set, in this case inside the castle. The picture is set at night and the castle is lit up, it is as if they are trying to highlight how there is no escape from the castle, this is also very affective.












I like this image because it shows the main character in the middle, but he blends in withe the rest of the people because he is wearing the same clothes and everyone is faded out because there is no light, so they are almost like shadows, also very affective.





I like this image because it shows a slight glimmer of light shining in against the black shadow, it is affective because it contrasts with dark back ground and is as if good is shinning in and breaking through the darkness.




I like this image because it splits hannibal in half with a mirror and it is as if they are showing the amazing and clever Hanibal contrasting with his evil and sick minded creature, they are making him out to have to sides, which he does.



Shows a large red font to represent blood, with a black background which contrasts, to make red stand out more.The black gradually changes into an image, which is shown in the screen shot. The large font of Hannibal is left behind with a picture of him underneath. The screen shot makes the red stand out, keeping the background dark, this helps to show blood and death.

Screen shot

Shows a pole in 3D coming through glass, smashing it ,glass shatters with shards of glass flying off in different directions and pole comes through screen in 3D as if its smashing the cinema screen as well.


I like this because it shows a normal body with a ladder going through his head, but it is in xray colours which is very effective and and contrasts with the black background. It also only shows the head which makes you think what has happened to this rest of the body?




I like this because it shows a pole entering through the head and then out the screen in 3d. It is also displayed in xray which is used to great affect, the picture is taken on a height measuring scale which could mean he has been caught by the police.




This is another good image because it shows a care breaking the persons bones and spinning inside the body getting larger. This is used to great affect as this links to the movie as whole. The image is also in xray.




I like this because it shows all the items that are used in this scene to kill someone. They are all solid objects and you cannot actually see through them but they are in xray colours as well which work well because it links to the rest of the clip.
I like this because it shows a killing item such as a knife, but a knife is not actually used in the killing scene, but it contrasts well with the rest of the scene because it is a normal killing item whilst the rest are out of the ordinary killing items. Its is also in xray colours to contrast with the rest of the clip.
