Various Film Aspects I Enjoy


Ghost Ship
This is the inner horror lover coming out but I really love this scene in Ghost Ship. It is edited in such a way that the occurrences are slowly revealed to the character and also the viewers; each moment transitions into another part of the story. The transitions are particularly clever, clearly linked through objects. Pace is extremely important in creating the overall mood of this scene, important moments/character revelations are slowed down whereas others are sped up to signify the little girls distress through the massacre. The audio track is a major contributor to the overall mood also.


Layer Cake
I really enjoy the opening monologue of this film. The editing stays constant throughout the film, scenes are clearly linked through timed transitions. The colourings are also really well done.




Two Cars, One Night
Short film by Taiika Whititi. This is a really cute example of a short film that explores a brief moment in time. Rather then focussing on a larger moment, Taiika has chosen to depict a moment where unexpected joy is found in the everyday, in particular in the carpark of a rural NZ pub.

Boy

Also directed by Taiika Whititi. I've read the script and it looks good! Boy is about a young boy(called Boy) who lives in a fantasy world where his Dad is a war hero, rugby player (etc) where in reality he is wannabe gangster.



Sweeny Todd
The overall style of this film is beautiful. Musical too :)
