Cinematograpghy-Bush



 In this extract from Fashion Fantasy we can see from the cinematographic back in those days wasn't as developed as it is today. When there is a change in scenery or just a general chance, it isn't done very smoothly. It jumps from one shot to another. However there is a variety of camera shots used, for example when the lady character is walking along the road and the over voice says "Perhaps there will be a bus passing soon" there is a long shot of her and the empty road. It is used to create irony to show that its an empty road and the bus wont be coming. Other shots it uses is Close ups and the most frequent use of the medium shot.The editing however is pretty good for the time. For example when the lady falls asleep and her ghost comes out of her, this effect is quite powerful because it is truly a realistic object in the scene that would shock the audience because they wouldn't have been used to such effects  because they wouldn't be constantly used in films



The close up shot of his hands shaking had the effect of showing how emotional he is and the shaking of the hands connotes that he is either scared or cold. Both connotation are bad ones and relate to something unhappy. Also the close ups of the soldiers faces are effective as they help to show the emotions of each individual solider, we see that  each one has the same sort of facial expression which connotes that they are all feeling the same, scared frightened cold, also the camera movement that is used is panning as it helps to shows the faces clearly and slowly.
Another very goo tecquinie used is there is a lot of use of point of view shots. This is effective as it allows the audience to see from the point of view from the soldiers putting them in their shoes and making them become more involved with the film and allows them to feel the experience for themselves.


This is the first still image I found. This is an big close up camera shot, the effect this has is it shows the audience that the person is really focusing and that its a really small hole that they are looking through as it shows only the light on the eye. Also if we knew the film well, the close up allows us to tell who the character is because we cant really tell because they are in the dark.

This is a long shot and a low angle shot. This is effective because it shows the character as a much higher and superior status. Its shows he is powerful and that the others are below him. Also through the long shot we as an audience are able to see his stance which is quite tall and confident showing he is really quite an important person.

This is a long shot camera angle. It allows us to see a full view of the setting and it helps to emphases the horror and scariness of the house. Its also allows us to see how grand and big the house is and this connotes that the person who owns it is quite a powerful and rich
