Chris

At the beginning of the film Chris is represented as a sweet person, he is portrayed as a kind person, he help Tina pack. However we are quick to learn that he is a psychopath, he repeatedly killed people with little emotion to his actions but at the same time he shows his emotions towards his girlfriend Tina. He is character that shows no remorse what so ever he as he murders people “with structure”, this adds on to his psychopathic personality as its almost an excuse. Chris is a dominating character as he almost manipulates Tina’s mind into thinking it is right for example “reducing the amount of people reduces the carbon footprint” although at the end this personality shifts as he thinks Tina killing a bird to be was “witch” thing to do it shows he has some remorse.

Tina

Tina is represented as a naïve and childish women, she is manipulated very easily by Chris, and she is shown to have feelings and emotions at the beginning as she states “murder is wrong Chris”. Yet again this personality shifts, she then turns into the dominant, psychopathic one, and however you could argue that this is due to being manipulated by Chris. Tina then becomes the one who is a cold hearted murderer and thinks killing people is right because you think it’s what your partner wants. She also believes pushing someone of a cliff solves a tiny problem. Additionally, Tina helps steal a dead guy’s dog then name it after her dog from the past that had died; you could say this is another example of when she is portrayed as psychopathic. Despite this she is shown to love towards her partner she is shown as clingy until she doesn’t kill herself with him.

Trainspotting opening scene analysis.

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
