submarine

Submarine is a coming of age drama about a 15 year old Swansea boy in 1986 who is convinced that he is an unrivaled genius who is widely loved by his class mates ,when in fact he is pretentious and socially alienated .He is in love with a mischievous but straight -talking girl named Jordana in his year ,and goes as far as bullying an overweight class weight to impress her.One day she invites him to meet secretly after school ,instructing him to bring a Polaroid camera and a diary . 




camera shots in the movie :


the film consisted of various different camera position ,such as the parts in the film when (jordona and Oliver ) would be together the screen at times would be blue for a moment and then  it would appear that the scene would turn to its original picture .This has a unique effect .some parts of the movie are shot i very different ways ,like there would be shots angles from the sky when Oliver would be at the beach or some really close up shots when Oliver and Jordana  would be riding on the bike together .


the soundtrack to the movie makes the whole scenery and what it is ,the variety of tones in song fit very well with the mood of the film ,light humor .this is very important when trying to give a movie the right views .the music on a film is like its base ,were all expressions and thoughts are imagined through what the music is .for instance the artic monkeys on the soundtrack gave the movie a more  modern feel even though it was set in the 1980s .


overall i think the movie was a great example of well established wit and the way in which life was perceived by one 15 year old boy from Swansea.

lighting

in the last lesson ,lightings of camera were used very often ,this helped the focuses on the faical expressions of the actors and actress .it puts more enphasis on the movements of them.there are many different lighting techniques used in movies ,the ones we used in the lesson were natural light and close up shot lighting ect...we used these to create different effects of the camera and the position of the subject in the lighting .this is very important ,it gives an eerie room a more animated look to a suitable effect.




lighting is sometimes used to put emphasis  on a particular text or object,this is mainly the bases for camera work .in the work I did in class we put emphasis on the subjects facial expressions ,we did also took a long shot with the lighting coming from above .this put a dark shadow upon the side of the face ,this type of camera work is used when horror or mystery films are made ,this also brings up one of the many importance of lighting in film production .


following up ,we also viewed the significance of health and safety hazards when using lighting ,it could heat up very quickly and eyes may be damaged if held direct into the eyes for very long it .
