As
per the requirement of the course work of the Media Studies, I am assigned to
make a project on film opening task; for this I need to enhance my perceptive
regarding the technicalities of the film. I decided to shoot my
film .So to get an idea that how to shoot film I
watched many movies for the last few days and came across a lot of
movies but the movies I wrote about the movies which I think are aesthetically remarkable. I wrote about
"Trance" 2013 by "Danny Boyle", "The Hunger
Games"2012 by"Gary Ross" and "English Vinglish"2012 by
"Gauri Shinde":
TRANCE 2013:
Trance”
is a movie which contains suspense, drama and thrill. The film opens with
variety of extreme close ups reflecting expectation and twists with a scene of
London auction house. Francisco Goya's 1798 masterpiece "Witches in
the Air" was on auction, which was being robbed at gunpoint. Assistant
auctioneer Simon is assigned to guard the auction's most valuable
painting “Witches in the Air"- to safety area. But he was encountered by
the head robber Mr. Frank on his way to the auction house's basement vault.
Franck smacked Simon unconscious and grabs the painting but later on he
discovers that the canvas has been cut from its frame. Trance has notable Mis-en-scene -The
Mis-en-scene includes props, locations, the cast ……every thing was unflawed the
Mis-en-scene is very attention-grabbing .Sounds added up the suspense .In this movie the shots are very smoothly joined
together .The film had a lot of zoom ins, pans and tilts. And this movie just
strike the heart of the spectator and the observer gets addicted to it.
The Hunger Games (2012):
The evil
Capitol of the nation of Panem organized an evil game called “HUNGER GAMES”
every year. The Panem, forces each of its twelve districts to send a
teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. It is a competition in which
two teenagers from each of the twelve Districts of Panem are chosen at random
to fight to the death. An older sister, Katniss Everdeen, willingly takes her
younger sister's place in the Hunger Games. Katniss ready to fight under the
guidance of her drunken mentor, former
victor Haymitch Abernathy. She has to rely on her sharp instincts to fight
against the highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their
entire lives. This movie is spotlessly scripted. Analyzing the techniques of
the film: Mis-en-scene is just noteworthy -everything was flawless. As far as
the sounds were concerned the sound effects were used to enhance the effect of
the scene in hunger games.. In this movie there are different shots and angles
along with a lot of good panning and tilting camera movements and display of
faultless camera shots. The element in the frame looks miraculous; it’s a
“thumbs up” movie.
English Vinglish 2012:
The plot of the film revolves around a loving and
sweet tempered housewife, who sacrifices her whole life for her family. She is
often mocked by well educated husband and her daughter for her inability of
speaking English. Her other attributes like her, devotion resourcefulness and
open mindedness were marred only because of her inability of speaking English.
On her trip to Manhattan she decides to enroll in an English Learners class and
meets a host of new people who teaches her to value herself beyond the narrow
perspective of her family. The story ends with a positive note that one should
rely on ones traits and use it accordingly and maintain self respect. The
script of this film is very emotive. Camera is intelligently used as the film opens with
the series of shots reflecting the activity of the leading actress .The
Mis-en-scene is just ideal; including their wardrobe, cast, lights, sounds the
producer has done exceptional job.
