Camera angle analysis of Back to the Future

In the clip from Back to the Future many different camera angles are used in order to show the importance of the main character, Marty. These are done so there is an effect put on the audience so they know who to focus there attention on during the film. The extreme close-up on the girls face at the end of the clip, this angle shows the emotion on there faces and gives the audience the chance to know how others feel about this character. This extreme close up on this particular character could show that these girls are going to be importance throughout the film.

The second angle is the over the shoulder at the very beginning, this is to show the contrast in Marty and Biff's height. This shot is also used to show the fear in Marty as he is physically smaller then Biff and this particular shot allows the audience to know that Biff is quite intimidating foreshadowing what he could be like in the rest of the film. The over shoulder shot accompanies the genre of the film because it is meant to be tongue and cheek humour, which this is showing.

Lastly, the pan tracking Marty on his skateboard escaping Biff, is to show his heroic efforts to out run Biff. The specific effect this has on the audience is that it is putting them into the action with the characters because they are following what everyone in the film world is seeing. This shot is effective in doing this because when I was watching it I thought I was part of it and really wanted Marty to escape Biff like he has done.

Analysing 'Seven' title sequence

In the title sequence of Seven a multitude of techniques have been used in order for the title sequence to fit the thriller genre. The title sequence is the first impression for the audience to get a glimpse of what is to come and this is effective as it uses this range of techniques to impress and showcase their film.

Firstly, the childlike handwriting suggests that this film is going to be strange as you don't  really associate childish handwriting with a grown man. Also the typography is very distorted and this could mean that the character's mind is confused and un clear.  Everything in the title sequence relates to something in the film, for example the crossing out of eyes and words show that he will later go onto kill someone and do maybe hint at doing something to someone's eyes.

Secondly, the sound of the radio tuning creates the atmosphere of an eerie thriller. The crackling noises in the background, create a sense of confusion and mystery but also makes it seem as if there are more people involved in the killings because it starts to sound like a conversations but this could just be in the character's mind as he is may be schizophrenic. All of these connect to a psychological thriller because it is playing with the audience's mind as we are constantly asking questions and we are only at the title sequence.

Lastly, the editing is very fast paced as its wanting to show chaos that is already occurring, or will occur in the latter part of the film. Also it is leading us to a false sense of security because we think it will happen quickly, when in actual fact its a slow paced film as it elongates every little detail and death in it. This title has left me asking lots of questions like why is he blanking out eyes and words? Why does he kill people? etc... And it really make me want to watch the rest of the film.

Typography

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, uses a fast pace to display its typography, but without even seeing the typography it immediately draw attention to it, due to the white colour on a black background. The typography itself is wrote in a style of writing that you would associate with tattoos and they all interlink with one another to form a new tattoo. The typography is quite small and it usually situated towards the top right corner on lower left corner but is always seen on screen because it stands out on the black background as it is white. It sometimes just blends in because there is a lot going on around it that you don't quite notice it the writing, because it is slightly too small.I think that the typography has been used quite cleverly as it fits with the genre of the film for being fast paced and reflects the films meaning by having it wrote as if it is in the style of a tattoo.

Doctor Who's typography takes a while for it to be displayed on screen as it mainly focusses on the Tardis, however once they are seen they use the tunnel they are in to find each name. The actual typography doesn't really stand out apart from the fact the writing is so big, the colour of the typography is grey and this makes it blend into the background as they are amongst a storm in title sequence. The typography is kinetic as it moves with the time changing sequence and it immediately connotes with Doctor Who as you can associate the letter 'I'  with a Tardis at the end. The sequence for Doctor Who uses typography very well to portray their show of a sci-fi/ action television programme.

You can see how the writing is in style to look
like a tattoo that is fading or just being
created.

You can see how the dark colours make it slightly harder to
see as it looks like they are trying to blend in.

Lighting analysis of own photos

The lighting for this image is quite dark but the lights from the building manage to make it a good place to film because the allow the camera to focus on the buildings and this particular shot will make a great Birdseye view and a great setting for an action film because it is set in the city of London. 

The lighting for this particular image is quite poor as it is set outside and it is very hard to light outside due to the equipment needed. To make this image better a flood light would need to be used so the building will be lit up in order for it to stand out of the image. 

This is the perfect lighting for an outside shot because it uses the light of the sea to reflect onto the camera Len to brighten up the rest of the shot. However it only lights up one half of the picture, so a fill light would need to be used to light up the other half of the photo.
