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.
Great start though needs more in depth analysis using media terminology
