Extention Tasks: To Analyse The Cinematography Of Two Film Extracts From Different Eras.

BadBoysIIBold..



Badboys2 is a film about two FBI agents who find that their loved one is in the midst of a crack deal, and venge to seek justice; using any means necessary.

The camerawork used in the scene I analysed, was prodominantly high angle shot. I found that it were necessary to use this shot as although we are not the character being questioned, it does put us in his situation as though we are looking over him, but not quite him; possibly a 3rd person view. This could have been used to emphasise the the fear that the character had felt at the moment. I also noticed there were low angle shots, perhaps to show the point of view and the feelings of the questioner. I noticed alot of switching of shots to show different points of view in the scene, which could be to show tention between the two characters.
Shots used were prodominantly medium, to show the facial expressions of all charcters in the shot. There was low angle shots when Mike (Will Smith) enters, to show he is dominant and make the audience fe they are at his 'mercy'. There was no use of panning, tracking or tilts in the scene.


Enter The Dragon..




Enter The Dragon is a film featuring Bruce Lee, and the famous fight between himself, and his student Chuck Norris.

The camerawork used in this scene i analysed, featured a long shot at the start, which could be to show that they are on the same level of experience, als just to simply fit them in the same frame, and to show that they have a fued via their facial expressions and body languages. There are alot of medium and close shots of the characters faces to sow their anger and feelings, as well as long shots to show their 'muscles'.
