completely black around her - This lighting shows the viewer the almost instant turn from the happy, innocent briony earlier shown in the bright lighting of the field, to the almost pitch black setting of the hallway she reads the letter, showing a darker emotion and that what she is about to read is not going to be something she wants to see. - The viewer can she the disturbed feeling of briony through this dark lighting - This lighting can also show the changing of her feelings for Robbie - Gives the audience a sense of her dark feelings she has like hatred for Robbie, or the jealousy of her sister that ruins the lives of the three characters. - Comparing the two scene, both scenes have darkly lit rooms to show the stress of the character, and the complicated emotions going on with the two young girls. - Both in small dark areas, showing the audience a more stressful situation than rather being in a brightly lit field in the summer - The difference is the amount of how the lighting is darkened in the two films , with the dimly lit bathroom in not giving as much of a rage feeling, and atonement being completely black hallway, shows more of a rageful emotion and a more harsher emotion and setting then juno - The use of camera angles in the scene of juno taking the pregnancy test is to provide a more intimate relationship between juno and the audience.
- In this scene, the camera uses close up shots of Juno sitting on the toilet, the image of the pregnancy test and also her facial expressions.
- These close ups give the viewer a more intimate relationship with juno and how she is feeling
- Also makes the viewer feels more sympathetic for juno, with how the scene is shot in a close and personal way.
- In atonement, the camera angle is used differently in the scene of Briony opening the letter and realizing how her crush feels about her sister.
- This scene starts with a close up of Briony hands ripping open the letter Robbie wrote, giving a more dramatic sense to what is inside the letter.
- Also using a close up of Briony ripping open the letter, the viewer starts to feel a sense of aggression Briony has towards the letter
- The words used in the letter are in an extreme close-up shot, so that the audience can see what Briony is seeing, and to know exactly why, in the upcoming scenes, Brionys emotions overcome her sense of doing what is
right. - The camera angle quickly moves back to Brionys face, as she realizes what she has just read, the audience can see just by the close up of her face that her opinion of Robbie has changed completely. - Comparing the two scenes camera angles, both cameras use close ups at the girls faces to give a better sense of how they are feeling to the audience - Also give the audience a chance to feel sympathetic for the young girls as they are realizing what has just happened. The close up shots of a character’s face can show their emotions better than the character actually speaking in some cases.

Miss Brill does not talk at all in the story so being told what she is thinking tells us a great deal about her problems and personality. Miss Brill suffers from loneliness, and to ease the pain from this she constantly judges the people she sees in a harsh way and she views herself in a superior sense to them. Miss Brill even describe these people as being “all on the stage…they weren’t only the audience, not only looking on; they were acting” (45). Knowing this is essential because it tells us just how much she criticizes all these people and enjoys their
Similarly, effective use of lighting also allows for differentiation between the two classes. Jacquot uses bright fill light in scenes in both inside and in the courtyard to express the opulence and superficial serenity of the royal family. On the contrary, cameo lighting is used in the quarters where Sidonie sleeps where a small window...

A sidewalk with trash aligned to it can be seen. The whole neighborhood is lit up, and the morning sun rise can be seen from the background. A lady wearing ragged clothing is carrying a baby and has her backpack on. A tracking shot of the lady continues from behind, she’s struts down the sidewalk until she reaches a door with yellow and blue letters “Daycare.” She rings the doorbell “It’s Maria.” A sound of a click and a door opens. The lady enters into a room filled with baby cribs and toys of stars and rockets attached to the sealing. One crib is three-point lighted. A close up of the baby’s sleeping face is shown in the mother’s arms and the camera zooms out a little. Both the mom’s face with eye bags and baby’s sleeping face is visible. The mom gently places the baby into the crib and says “sleep well.” A low angle camera shot from the baby’s crib shows the mother leaving, and closing the door. The baby starts to cry, and the mother opens the door, and from a POV of the baby the mother’s face is completely visible again. The camera cuts to a mid-angle medium shot and the mother begins to sing a melodic

An example of this is the scene of Vickie in the pool. The light shines on her, showcasing her beautiful face,platinum hair and uses slow motion and zoom to focus in on her sexy legs gently kicking in the water. It draws our attention to her in the same way Jake is staring at her lustily taking in her beauty. Throughout the film I felt Vicki was always portrayed light and brighter giving us the idea she is the one good thing in Jake’s life. In the fight scenes , the high contrast lighting focuses our attention on Jake. The crowd is always shown darker and more
It is equivalent to a painter’s brush or a sculptor’s chisel. Directors use the camera to create their masterpiece, which requires extraordinary talent and skill. Placement and movement of the camera in this film provide the viewer with preconceptions about the narrative and provide the viewer a place to insert themselves in the story. Throughout the film, especially in the analyzed sequence, the audience’s point of view is solely through the camera. Unlike in other films where the viewer may obtain a character’s point of view, this film makes a point of showing the film through the camera’s eye. In the second shot of the sequence, the camera is placed at a distance from the action of the scene; the very long shot of this scene elicits a voyeuristic feeling. The audience’s point of view comes from the camera and it is like you are spying on Alma. The camera’s position in the trees and the lack of movement aids in the voyeuristic undertones of this shot; the camera remains stationary out in the trees, even when Alma goes inside to first fetch the broom and the dustpan and then again when she goes inside to put them away. In a shot and sequence that both contain so much movement, the camera is relatively stable, which is what allows for the audience’s interpretation that you are spying on Alma, that you are not supposed to be there or witness her actions. The choice of camera distance and angle were thought out decisions and as previously proven, affect the way that a scene or shot is
Which is what Briony has done in the second part of the novel, where McEwan purposefully
In Bruges employs a medium close-up while the two main characters are being introduced. As they float down a canal in Bruges, the camera executes a shot and a reverse shot between Ken and Ray. This scene is one of the very first interactions the audience sees, and it occurs within the first five minutes of the movie. The exposition period is critical because it
Because Briony is narrating the story from multiple points of view, her construction of events is slightly unreliable. Though she is clearly a sane individual while writing her novel, the events she
