weekly film analysis-Get Out



weekly film analysis-Get Out.

Get out is an american horror film ,directed by Jordan Peele, The film tells the story of a black male who visits his white girlfriends parents. The film grossed 254.6 million dollars against a 4.5 production budget.

 The protagonist of the film, Chris Washington tells the story from his perspective ,this is almost like the director wants to put the audience in his shoes of people who are racially abused ,as not everyone in society face these problems. This tends to be done using tacking shots, doing this allows the audience to see everything unfold as the character does ,in some ways this allows the audience to feel like they are facing the trouble with him. In the film the parents of Rose Armitage are used as a vechical to show racism as a person, instead of using a ghost they put the problem of racism in its place.

 Get Out, uses a series of close ups of different white peoples faces, but then cuts back to our protagonist , this is done to show that he is a minority, this is very realistic to the real world as  he would also be a minority in the US and other countries such as the UK.For the audience this is the first sign that suggests the film is about racial themes.

 The film uses props that convey messages of horror. for example in a scene where the couple first arrive at the house, a mid shot is used of our main character showing with a picture on the wall behind him, this picture looks like blood scattered across a page. This convention is clearly inflicting horror as the colour red connotes to danger and death , this is one of the fist signs the audience gets that something isn't quite right. Furthermore, the movie uses little light sources to convey the unknowing  , the main light source is candles which could connote that her family shed little light on equality in the world.

 During the scene where Chris demands for the keys the music is high pitched but as he becomes more and more in danger it becomes low pitched ,this builds more tension to the scene. It is at this point he realises he has been betreailed by his so called girlfriend ,therefore this sound effect cause symbolise how hurt he is as the action becomes more deep.  I

Trainspotting opening scene analysis. Trainspotting is a 1996 British black comedy, that is directed by Danny Boyle and starring Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner, Jonny Lee Miller, Kevin McKidd, Robert Carlyle, and Kelly Macdonald . The film is based on the novel of the same name by Irvine Welsh; the film was released in the United Kingdom on 23 February 1996. In the opening scene of trainspotting we see Renton and spud running down the road, the camera movement and music merge together to match the action on screen. The music immediately starts playing once we see a low angled shot of our characters feet; this could link to how upbeat the characters lifestyle in their opinion. Furthermore when we see the car hit Renton is could be double meaning as throughout the narrative he talks about having a career, so, the car could signify the barrier of drug addiction that stops him having all the stuff mentioned. the positioning of the two characters could suggest that Renton is alwa

Buster Keaton: One Week, The Scarecrow, The High Sign, Cops Buster Keaton tends to use long shots to encourage the audience to look around the frame to see the joke, they allow an appreciation of the gag. Close ups usually follow up from this to show the characters reaction. He also tends to shoot face on so he is centre of attention. Keaton does this to highlight the idea that he is the joke and considered a clown; this tends to follow through on most films. In Cops there is a scene where Keaton is depicted in the foreground trying to take nap, a deep focus is used to show us that the city is unfurling in the background. Yet again Keaton is placed in the middle of the frame, this allows the audience to see how interacts with the chaotic and mechanical world. This is a very iconic use of cinematography for Keaton, as he tends to prefer to get everything in one frame, this is because editing in the 20s was considered as deceiving the audience. The sets used in Buster Keaton

Analysis of coin toss scenes in no country for old men The coin toss scenes are key elements of the film it they tell us vital points about Chigurh personality. The first coin toss scene is set in a small petrol station in the middle of nowhere a conversation between the cashier and  Chigurh seemed perfectly normal up until the point when the cashier mentioned that he saw him coming from Dallas. Chigurh then automatically makes the conversation heated we get this idea when he calls the shopkeeper “friendo”.  Chigurh continually asks the shopkeeper questions this gives the audience an uneasy feeling. Additionally  Chigurh is placed in front of the door, this emphasises that the shopkeeper is isolated and has no escape from this vicious killer. the shopkeeper wears traditional clothing that fits the location , mid shots are used to show this as we can see the secret of the landscape behind him.  Chigurh on the other hand juxtaposes this idea as he wears dark clothing which c
