I chose to post this video clip from "Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003)", because it includes many uses of different shots that I could use in my Final Thriller Film.
I can use the type of shots in order to achieve a higher grade by using ambitious shots, and to add tension and panic, this movie uses these shots to add tension and to make the audience be "on the edge of their seats" by using tight and claustrophobic spaces and shots.
At the beginning of the clip, it uses a type of effective shot this is "Shot Reverse Shot", the use of this reflects the past relationship between the protagonist and the antagonist known as "Vernita" and shows how the protagonist has grown to hate Vernita, the use of the black and white filter within the shot connotes sadness and despair to past events and the flip back to colour then shows the audience that the clip has gone back to the present and to display how much hate she has towards the antagonist.
The use of the worms eye shot in the clip gives the character vulnerability and displays a chance that the character may meet a gruesome and horrible end to their lives, many other action movies like it's sequel / follow up to Tarantino's classic "Kill Bill Vol. 2" and in Frank Miller's "300" use this to achieve the same purpose, to make the audience feel that the character is vulnerable and in danger, the character its looking up at makes them seem powerful and in current control
The use of zooms and close ups gives the clip a tight and claustrophobic atmosphere which will thrill the audience and create tension within the clip.
The use of zoom also focuses on the hate between the two characters (which is achieved in the beginning of the clip and during the fight).
Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (1/12) Movie CLIP - Hello Vernita (2003) HD:
To strengthen identify the purpose of specific shots, editing transitions and how sound adds to meaning, for example the sound track. How you could do this:
ReplyDelete1) Shot reverse shot at the beginning of the clip indicating a past relationship between these two adversaries.
2) Use of dissolves in the transitions...what's the purpose?
3) Worm's eye shot?
4) Zooms and close ups?
A great clip, and a great movie.
