analyse of chosen film

Ideas for analyse of choice of film:

-cinematography
-misc-en-scene
- editing
- sound

PADDINGTON: (start from 0.37)

Cinematography:

• long shot of paddington reflects lonelieness - with the lighting as a heavenly
• camera flows movement of the family until they pass paddington, showing who the main focus is
• close up of facial reactions 
• long shot to highlight a sweet moment and reveals where he was sitting
• shows the two of them in close proximity
• shot from the side, shows the distance of others and them being in the middle 
• as the  mum rotates her head, camera rotates
• POV shot from mum as camera tilts onto tag (a well known symbol of paddington)
• warm colouring of whole film, adds a positivity

mise-en-scene:

• modern winter costumes, yet slightly abstract (artistic) to highlight the family's difference (fits into the aesthetic of the film)
•  paddington's hat (memory), suitcase and evacuee tag
• set of the train station 
• lost and found - when hope, the light flashes on 
• light from door shines directly onto paddington - pureness and genuine 
• realistic setting shows how the fantasy of it could be believable to targeted audience
• 'please look after this bear, thank you'

Editing:

• quick paced editing between conversation to show reactions
• elongated shots when walking, following movements

audio:

• high heels against floor
• soundtrack in moments of hope - when sally hawkins first appears and when he can stay (violins and harp)
• blink of the lightbulbs in 'found' - emphasis
• dialogue - british euphimisms, story-telling and questions
