Trainspotting

In the 'bar scene' there is a high angle shot. Within this shot it is apparent that there is a lot of people in the bar. This establishes the atmosphere. Due to the theme which surround the film,

The lightning in the bar is low-key lighting. This is used to








The fact that Tommy is shown to be working out/using weights suggest his characteristics. Unlike many of the other characters, it implies that he cares for his health and therefore himself. This is also highlighted through the mise en scene of his house.The props such as the plants try to entail that he is responsible and well abled. The props and cleanliness contrast that of all of the other characters houses. The lighting also exaggerates this as it contradicts the bar in the previous scene.




















Dead baby scene

The scene begins with the diegetic noises of hysterical screaming. This is done to reveal to the audience the mood of the scene by suggesting something bad has happened.
The first shot is cool toned due to the blue lights. The colour blue is used to symbolise the death of the child as something morbid and sad. It is also important to note lighting.







In the scene 'sick boy' he refers to Renton by his first name, 'Mark.' He does this in order to emphasise the seriousness of the situation.

fish tank

"How useful has an ideological critical approach been in enhancing your understanding of  Fish Tank" ideological critical approach in fishtank. Working class. Young female being taking advantage of. Wanting to get out of the "fish tank" In the film "Fish Tank" the fish tank acts as a metaphor for social class/status. The film is dominated by social class this as we as an audience are constantly left comparing Mia and her family to the man that is dating her mother.  In the opening scene Mia is mid frame, the background is a blue concrete wall. The concrete wall reflects the council house environment which is typical of where working class people live. The colour of the wall ties into the title of the film "Fish Tank" as it is a metaphor for being trapped in social class.  The documentary style of the film tries to make it as realistic and accurate to life as possible. The director has done this in order for the audience to relate an

 Crimson peak The scene begins with a close-up shot of the main character lying in bed. This shot creates a sense of claustrophobia as not a lot is visible.This makes the audience feel uneasy, much like the character does in this moment of time. In this scene, it is apparent that the tone of the film is serious. This is evoked through the low key lighting that it used. Through this, the director has created a sense of mystery as the setting is unknown to the audience. This also foreshadows that something bd is going to happen by building tension. Thos close up shot then pans out to reveal the darkness that is the room. in this old eerie house.In this the image of where the character is is builded from the mise en scene.

Props also allow the audience to know the time period in which the film i

Amy

Within the first scene of the documentary Amy, raw footage is used. There is a short clip of her and her friends in the very first couple seconds of the film. There is a close up shot of her in the middle of the frame. This makes the film feel more persona; to the audience as they feel as if they are “close to her.” The director uses this clip first due to her innocence; this is Amy before fame. She singing she’s happy. She’s doing it with her friends because she enjoys it rather than for an audience. She is caught off-guard by the camera. The scene after this is again another raw footage film with her and her friends/management in the car. There is both non-diegetic and diegetic sound within the scene. The diegetic sound is quiet as the non-diegetic voice overs are played on top. This gives more context as those that are in frame are given time to elaborate what is happening.   There is a range of close up shots of Amy, many of these are slowed down so the audience hav
