This is a classic example of a Thriller film, with the headlights on a car coming towards you, almost blinding you and leaving you disorientated. This is the beginning of the whole Trailer, which straight away adds a mysterious feel, as if its all abit of a dream, (nightmare).Lighting
The first light in the scene is what i talked about before, the car headlights, which leaves you disorientated and mysterious. With a dark outlook in the Mise-en-Scene it con-notates the dark personality of the Bill's brother, and gives off the personality's of a Noir film.
Camera angles
To begin with there is a good high angle/bird's eye view shot which shows how desolate and isolated the trailer is, with no one else around for miles. And as the car approaches the trailer it brings mysterious and a surreal landscape dream world, with there being a whole huge landscape it makes the trailer seem very insignificant and small, which shows just how small and isolated anyone in that environment would be.
The camera then comes into a close up, to show the look of suspicion and concern on bill's brothers face, as if someone is watching him. Then the camera follows him, as if someone is actually following him.
Sound
The use of sound in this beginning clip is mysterious as the camera angle and lighting, as it gets more tense as the scene does. But its not just what your hearing which is tense and eary, its what your not hearing which is also very tense, as we dont know what is going to happen next, and what is waiting behind the door of the trailer.
The coffin scene in 'Kill Bill' is an amazing piece of camera work and general tension. The classic thriller scene eather has claustrophobic spaces, or very large areas. with a common factor in both, there is no escape.
The music while she has just been shot, is the same music as the "the good the bad and the ugly" as in kill bill there is also a good, a bad and an ugly character. Tarantino is not just playing this music to con-notate the good the bad and the ugly, but to also show respect to the director Sergio Leone.

You've imbedded very useful stills, particularly the notion of the good, the bad and the ugly characters. You have managed to interpret and analyse some aspects of film language but generally your analysis is undeveloped.
ReplyDeleteYou are very late posting analysis of the clips viewed in lessons.
Also you have not posted your labels onto your blog. This should have been done over 2 months ago. Corrie you are going to have to do a lot more homework if you are to catch up.
We'll speak about this in lesson.
