Research:



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.
