Analyzing A Film
Title: Hunger Games
Director: Gary Ross
Type of Film: Action/Adventure
Released 2012
The shot sequence I watched was not too far from the begging where Katnis volunteers herself for the hunger games. The effects used were pretty simple and subtle. The effects of the shot really concentrated on the scenes background. A poor district with run-down buildings, repeating colors of grays and blues signifying sadness or struggle, the actors all playing unhappy distressed people. The way the location looks and the look on the people’s faces connects with the audience and helps bring them into the story. I believe the whole movie was shot very well, using scenery to tell its story. These effects are very important because for example if the actors wore brightly colored shirts and the sun in the scene was shining bright making the shot look warm and vibrant, well that changes the tone of the film.
Title: Superhero Movie
Director: Craig Mazin
Type of Film: Action/Adventure/Comedy
Released 2008
The shot sequence I watched was when dragonfly (the superhero without the powers to fly) encounters a villain names hour glass for the first time. I found this movie to be terrible. The effects used the movie are very cheap, uninteresting, and borderline bad. The premise of the movie was to make fun of spiderman, and a bad job at it. In the fight scene, the angles they used were very repetitive, nothing special, and at one point in the shot they crossed the line of axis. To top it off the lighting was bad (shadows did not add up and faces were too dark at times), and at some points there was too much light. Also, continuity in the shot was thrown out the window where at one point the villain has removed his glove where in the next shot he was wearing it. Overall, the effects of the whole movie were not pleasing and they should hire a new light crew.
