Opening scene The opening scene of Trainspotting is widely regarded to be one of the most iconic scenes in British movie history. It does a great job of showing you what to expect for the rest of the movie, jumping straight into explicit scenes. The music that plays throughout it while Renton reels off all of the things to 'choose' sets the fast pace and adds an action-based effect to the scene. We get to see all of the main characters here and one of the sub-plots of the movie (Renton trying to get off of heroin) is set. Most of the camera shots are close ups or mid shots in this scene as it is still trying to develop the characters and introduce them to the viewer. The lighting in the house is very dark and miserable. This directly contradicts the light from the previous scene of being outside, and it also contradicts the music which is still playing in the background. This creates a strange effect on the audience which makes them not too disturbed or sad by the scene, d...
We need to talk about Kevin is a film released in 2011. It was directed by Lynne Ramsay who had previously made the short film, 'Gasman'. The film was released under BBC films with a budget of 7 million dollars. The film profited with a box office of 10.8 million dollars. The film can fit under both the thriller genre and the drama genre. With themes of betrayal, jealousy, relationships, love, violence, mental health, parenting and isolation, the film is rather dark and goes into a few topics which others would not go into. The film is about a woman named Eva (played by Tilda Swinton), who seems to have an enjoyable, active life. This changes when she is pregnant and starts to evidently become depressed. The situation grows worse when the baby is born, and shows clear signs of evilness from then on. The opening scene of the movie shows Eva enjoying herself in some kind of tomato festival. It is here that we start to see the importance of the use of colour throughout the mo...
Jigsaw is a movie that was released on 26th October 2017. It is a continuation of the 'Saw' franchise that recently came to an end after the seventh movie. Directed by Michael and Peter Spierig (who previously made movies such as Daybreakers and Undead), this movie falls into the Crime and Horror genres. It is a very violent movie and undoubtably has themes of gore, deranged and generally messed up. However, in correlation with this, parts of the movie focus more on the crime side. In comparison with a show like C.S.I. or N.C.I.S., there is hardly any difference between what the audience is getting at times. While trying to maintain their previous audience from Saw, the movie is clearly trying to broaden its marketing to reach some newer faces as the film looks to have been modernised a bit and puts emphasis on using a diverse range of actors from different backgrounds. The plot has some major twists in it and is well-thought of, but the main focus on the film is the game...
