Movie Analysis

 Hello everyone, and Welcome back to my blog! Today, I had the pleasure of doing a Movie Analysis on one of my childhood favorite shows, "The Incredibles 2" and we are going to look really behind the scenes of these shots. In The Incredibles 2, several different shots are used to show lots of feelings that are occurring, such as fear. I am very eager to talk about the amazing visually stunning scenes and the real emotion they are representing by using different angles. They used many unique elements such as a low-angle shot, a two-shot, an over-the-shoulder shot, Aerial shots, a mid-shot, and several other views to really compile the movie together as a whole. Utilizing these different shots has really helped to put this movie all together. 

Now, let's look at one of the low-angle shots presented in the movie. Really taking a more in-depth look at the shot, you can see the realization of using this shot, in this case, they used it to showcase something of great power, and specifically in the movie, it is a scary scene as this evil machine is creating destruction across town. Honestly, when looking at this and analyzing these shots you can see the creativity behind what these filmmakers conduct in making these different scenes. 

Next, let's take a look at one of the over-the-shoulder scenes and really look closely at how this captures the moment of seriousness. In this scene, they are showcasing the intimacy as they are trying to figure out the plans of the antagonists It also outlines the relationship between the characters and the drama behind it. Again, just looking at these key aspects really shapes together the entirety of the scene. 

Let's also take a look at the Aerial shots in the movie specifically at them capturing the powerfulness of one of the antagonists. This scene really goes into the fears that the protagonists are feeling and utilizing this view really shows the robot having an upper hand in this case. I love how they emphasized all of the worries that are occurring in the scene. It is just so cool to me about all of this that is happening behind one of my favorite movies that I had never known about.

Additionally, we look at a two-shot and it is just really like the others, expressing the emotions behind the characters and in this case giving off a heroic sense. They really did a great job just angling this out to show the protagonists' planning and strategizing how to fight one of the machines. This is a really great example to contribute to the plot as a whole.

In this scene, we have a mid-shot angle and this is used to show the expressions of the character and how he looks concerned about something. Using angles like these just helps tell the story in a so much better way, adding detail to the scene. Also, this shot really exposes the background as well and helps project the character's stance. This is a really great approach in these cases to show off the characters' realizations and to outline them.

Transitions

 Hello Bloggers! This week me and my fellow classmates are working on creating transitions, so I have compiled 6 different shots and put two of them each in their own video with a different transition. In these videos, I used iMovie to edit them and it was a really fun process for me because I caught on quickly with how to use the software and just adding on more to my editing skills was a really great experience for me. I got these clips a couple of weeks ago at my local park, as well as the beach, and it was really cool filming it because I love taking pictures and videos of sunsets and sunrises. I also got videos from a local art museum as well which you will see in the videos below. Creating these videos was really a joyful thing I was able to do and editing it was an even cooler thing I did. Hope you guys enjoy and I will see you in the next blog!

In this video, I used a fade transition to help ease people into the next scene where it was a lot more colorful. This created such a smooth transition between the two scenes as you can see within the video.

This is one of the clips that I got at my local park of the sunset. As you can see, I used the dissolve transition to really link these two videos and create a smooth video. 

In this final video, I had taken it at the park and the beach and I used the wipe transition to help signify the change in location. I found that this helped to make the video so much more smoother with the complete change in scenery.
