The story of her parents were killed a child witnessing the beginning, this fragment is presented by the way of hand-drawn animation. The narrative at the beginning of the Royal Lotus as the center, left and right, the relevant figures appear as if the comic-like.

Actress wearing yellow tights there, (with Bruce Lee similar clothing). When enemies met in the middle of the red light signal is deliberately arranged under way to exaggerate the red light bathed the ground. This description of the fight scenes, gore, violence, revenge and hatred.


Editing:

The editing style in Kill Bill series is no-linear. The film popularized the use of a large number of re-combination of elements of new ideas, a blend of Hong Kong, Shaw Brothers kung-fu, martial arts films, Japanese samurai movies, horror, Japanese animation, comic books, strong women in films like Revenge and other elements. In the animation, comic books, film animation to join a long movie about ten minutes. During this animation, there are emerging from the mouth of the export figures of the screen text language.

In the application of horror films, beginning in the film in black and white close-up depicts the heroine's face bloodied, and the use of breathing to create a tense atmosphere, reminiscent of black and white theme of vampire-related movies.

The film will also cut into several fragments of the story, the use of temporal dislocation editing techniques, a large settlement in the sub-chapter headings, each paragraph in different ways to break the story flashbacks or recall of time and space, the use of color to the story sound clip or other means of convergence have to lay out the screen or the story more lively and diverse. The film is like a cultural collage, focusing from the fusion of aesthetics and innovation breakthroughs.


Special camera work

This repeated use of the feature film, a scene in slow motion and multi-angle shooting. It is a combination of a variety of lens, including long shot, medium shot, close up and extreme close up. In the fight scene in which the use of a variety of lens switching, more vivid demonstration of the actress’s hatred. Local feature to give viewers visual impact, gore, violence, terror.

Color and Sound:

This film shows a good use of color diversity, which are commonly used colors: black, white, green, yellow, red, blue, orange and so on.

The beginning of the film using a black and white, with a close-up actress head injury, creating a climate of terror and bloodshed. Black and white is also used in the memories of the past practice of using film.

Revenge of the fragments in the red element is used several times. Red stressed the danger of bloody revenge mood. Yellow is main color in this film, the actress wore yellow tights, fighting in the snow scene and the scene in sharp contrast. Showing revenge’ passion and killer’s cold. Blue is cool color, here is applied to the hospital scenes and fight scenes. Hospital with a touch of blue in the desolate, a quiet. The fight reflects the blue of a great use of murderous, a life and death of the border. Green is the color of nature, there is peace, a symbol of security. According to the story, after the fight scenes of view, this green has to create a “calm before the storm” symbol.

Sound:

In the film the outset heroine portrayed in black and white close-up blood-stained face, and use breathing to create tension. In addition, the arrangement of the music, there are many mixed elements. For example: When Dagro. Hannah ready to play nurse to murder, the population became popular in the 60s child star Meryl blowing. Halls whistle; In the Japanese restaurant arena Age Ge-style girl bands; There Nancy. Siona bend before the hippie era of sub-theme song sung byBang Bang , My Baby Shot Me Down.


Genre and Codes:

Kill Bill is a mixed genre movie. It is combines action, martial arts, violence, gore, crime and other types of expression. This type of hybrid approach can more than give the audience a stronger visual impact, and real experience.

Narrative
Plot: This is a story about two lonely American people who met in Japan. One is the out-dated movie star- Bob Harris, who was casted by Bill Murray. Bob had an advertising show in Japan, and had lost heart to his married life, but he also wanted to do something, he tried to change something, but it did not work. During this time he worked in Japan, because of language gap, he could not communicate with Japanese colleagues effective. Loneliness was written on his face. Another one is Charlotte, who was casted by Scarlett Johansson, a young beautiful married lady; she had nothing to do in US. Her husband is a photographer and worked in Japan. But her husband was invest himself totally in his work, and did not care about Charlotte. Two loneliness persons met in another country, and had a great time between them.

Narrative structure: Linear
Narrative voice: Omniscient


Themes
Story about: Lost In Translation is telling a story about two American people fall in love in Tokyo. What is really about this film I are loneliness and isolation, people need for others, culture shock and existential boredom.

Another story in Lost In Translation: Marital status. Bill Murray is facing a midlife crisis, the same situation as his career, highlighting the troubles the family chores and family responsibilities, fear of helplessness. When he got the mail from his wife, he read with silence, his picked the fax with disappointment. He and his wife had twenty-five years of marriage, the feelings between them is too ordinary and should to rely on children to contact. One scene in this film is Bob got a good mood and he told his wife “I love you”, but what he was waiting for is the busy signal from the other side. Charlotte is a beautiful girl and just graduated from the university, she got married when she was very young with a photographer, she along with his husband to Tokyo, and her husband invested himself completely to his job every day, this is a man she did not understand before, with sunglasses, pack up in the morning, ready to begin his journey or something, all of these he did Charlotte never seen before. She did know him when they fall in love, but not this situation. His husband has been said “I love you” every morning, maybe he was not going to develop this bad habit. Charlotte’s married life just begun, but she had seen herself after 25 years, maybe was the same situation as Bob’s wife.


Mise-en-scene
Lost In Translation was wrote and directed by Sofia Coppola, released in the United States in 2003.Presented by Focus Features Co. This whole film takes 102 mins long, and main characters are Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson. This is the second movie of Sofia Coppola. She made this movie in 27 workdays, and all the scenes were taken in Japan. When Sofia made this film, only eight American people in their group, included herself, the rest of crew members were recruited in Japan, and most of Japanese actors and crew members did not speak English, the entire process can be described as difficult. Sofia did her best to demonstrate respect to for Japanese cultures to overcome obstacles. She hopes the film mode of operation is more Japanese style, not copied from the United States to impose a set of colleagues in Japan. It is the last we found this movie which illustrated foreigners feel loneliness but could change nothing.


Editing
The narrative structure of this film is Linear. The whole film was taken in Japan to demonstrate the urban life; there were not especially visual effects in it. But in this film, we could see many Coppola’s style, as the same as her first film- The Virgin Suicide, she prefers an emotional point of view from the front of the camera image, emphasizing performance in a mobile way to Tokyo.


Special camera work or SFX
The Photographer is Lance Acord, he has a good sense of the screen, and we can see the black pub and moving shots of Tokyo night street in this film. At the beginning of this film, we can see the most of the shots are long shot or POV of Bob, it shows the busy city- Tokyo, it is bustling, but no relationship with Bob. We can likewise see that when Charlotte feels lonely, what she can do is overlook the city view from the hotel window. In this film, a lot of moving shots, it displays the mood of actors, everything in Tokyo are eyes mist, because they are not belong here.


Diegesis and sound
In Lost In Translation, it contains a lot of background music and sound, at the beginning, we can tell Bob is very tired in the car, the music is playing when he have a look outside view in Tokyo street. When he comes in the room, he has nothing to do and feel so boring, he wants to watch TV, what he hears from TV is he in drama but speak Japanese. At the end of this film, he is in the car, just kissed goodbye with Charlotte, he feel comfortable and music is playing at this time, he look the Tokyo view again through the window on the way to the airport.


Genre and codes
The genres of Lost In Translation are Drama and Romance, and the sub-genre is romantic comedy.
Other: Bill Murray is a comedy actor in US, Coppola said this story was written for him, if he did not join this paly, she would not direct. Form this film, we could find differences in Bob. Some scenes when we watch the paly we want laugh with sorrow. Murray used to play in Ed.Wood. He gave his audiences differences in Lost In Translation, and this is Bill Murray, this is Sofia Coppola’s Style.

Narrative

Beatrix Kiddo (AKA The Bride) was once a member of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad lead by her lover ‘Bill’ ran away from the team pregnant with Bill’s child. As a consequence of her action together with rage and anger of Bill, she lost her baby and all she had as family members during her wedding rehearsal. After the wedding chapel massacre, everyone from the squad thought Beatrix has died just like other people they slaughtered during the wedding rehearsal. Miracally, the bride wakes from a coma and carries out a series of utterly brutal and satisfactory revenge for her on the entire squad who had attended the ‘deadly wedding rehearsal’.

Themes

First part of the Kill Bill franchise (Kill Bill I) tells the story of a natural born killer seeking revenge on people she had worked for and with when she was still a part of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. Beatrix’s final revenge ‘Bill’ as the storyline connection as well as cliffhanger, which leads audience through every sequence, had always kept anonymous and mysterious. This gradually pulled audience into the story by their curiosity of who Bill is or simply how he looks like and what kind of killer he is that is cold-blooded enough to kill his own lover and child in the beginning of the film. Unconventionally, Quentin Tarantino builds up the character Bill who is full of viciousness and power merely through portraying three main elements: body parts, voice and surrounding objects while not showing Bill’s face at all. (See snapshots below)

1. Body parts:

Beatrix being subordinate while Bill being dominant and showing his last sympathy

Bill’s hand gently touching and comforting Sofie

2. Close-up on objects:

Bill holding a samurai sword demonstrating his physical strength and martial arts ability

3. Quotation:

Bill: May I say one thing? You all beat the hell out of that woman, but you didn’t kill her. And I put a bullet in her head, but her heart just kept on beating. Now, you saw that yourself with your own beautiful blue eye. Did you not? We’ve done a lot of things to this lady. And if she ever wakes up, we’ll do a whole lot more. But one thing we won’t do is sneak into her room in the night like a filthy rat and kill her in her sleep. The reason we don’t do that thing is because that thing would lower us. Don’t you agree Miss Driver?

Quentine Tarantino created an environment with close-ups on details and supporting objects, diegetic sounds and the differences in the dominance of characters. From the snapshots above, we could easily spot iconic and indexical signs such as the samurai sword, which indicates Bill’s strength and martial arts ability together with the use of contrasting colours of black and white as well as cold colours, such a blue that assisted Quentine Tarantino during the encoding of certain personality into the character of Bill. When I was decoding the films, I felt a strong sense of cold-blooded personality and absolute dominance of Bill from the use of colours and framings that suggest tension. Dialogue is another method adopted in the construction of Bill, which directly communicates the motives, logic and characteristics of Bill to the audience. These methods all contribute to the success in portraying Bill as a mysterious, over-powering and hair-raising killer.

Mise-en-scene

Kill Bill I’s setting varies when the main character Beatrix travels around the world, mainly in USA and Japan. The film stretches across a four-year period. The changing emotions of Beatrix are cleverly directed with many flashbacks, sound effects and camera size and angles.

Editing

The editing style in Kill Bill series is in fact extremely fun and upbeat with many straight cuts, title theme, cross-cuts with multiple scenes in one frame and parallel cuts. As well as the editing techniques, the adoption of animation in Kill Bill I have made it a very special and dramatically moving action-packed film.

Diegesis and Sound

While visually adopting Japanese animation in the film, Kill Bill series had also adopted comic and manga like music and sounds throughout the whole film. Just like using the animation in the film, this specific type of diegetic and none-diegetic sound used in the film added more playfulness and dramatic effect to it, which made it a ground-breaking piece.

Genre and Codes

Just like many controversial films ever made, Kill Bill series mixed a wide and wild range of genres such as Kung Fu, action, thriller, crime, western etc. It is because such diversity that makes Kill Bill unexpectedly unorthodox and pioneering. Jumping among these genres give audience a passable viewing experience. The ongoing and surviving franchise of Kill Bill is the best evidence of such a success.

Movie Review of "Piranha"

ZZPosted by iris0427 on Friday, September 17, 2010 , under , , , | comments (0)




After I watched "P", honesly, I felt sick to dead."Piranha" is a movie about a human tragedy suffered from a kind of fish, named "Piranha", which has been living in sea bolcano for nearly one million year. I think "Piranha" is belong to horror and comedy Genre. On one side, Horror is because the bloody bodies ate by the damn piranha. All the terrible shot is jumped cut scene by scene. On the other hand, the humorous element is much more from the piranha, which is they love targeting human's body except for the penis and the gels for the boom job.
In my point, I am not a big fan of "P" because of the old theme. Such as mass disaster, nature revenge,etc. As a audience, I was kinda fed up with those boring theme. However, at the end of the movie, there was a little bit out of my expectation. The whole group of survivors(main characters in "p") was saved on the boat.They both thougnt they were safe and killed all the piranha thoroughly. What in my mind was human can overcome the nature finally. Suddenly, the camera jumped cut to another scene, that is, the professor made a phone call to them and said "there is still tens of thousands piranha inside the deep sea. What you guys killed is just their babies." Then, one of survivors just was eaten by the parent piranha in the last high speed scene. Ahh, maybe by this movie, Alexandre Aja(director) tries to tell us, we should revere the nature. 
Anyway, 3D visual effection is awesome and I don't think I will go to have swimming in summer forever. - -

Lost in Translation 2003
Sofia Coppola




1.SCENE OVERVIEW




Lost in Translation share a dreamy quality and relaxed pace that you're either going to love or hate, with the right mindset, there's no doubt that Lost in Translation has the potential to come off as a tremendously moving human drama.




The film centers around two Americans in Japan: Bob Harris is a popular American actor in town to shoot a high-paying whiskey commercial, while Charlotte is the wife of a famous photographer who's killing time by decorating her hotel in everyday . Both characters spend a lot of time in the hotel's bar, where the two finally strike up a conversation. They begin to get to know each other through various excursions outside of the hotel, and quickly become good friends.


When two people meet each other understand the language when you do not need more, because the eyes that point, a common loneliness, emptiness and despair, there is no way to get Bob Harris and Charlotte do not catch the cavity. Because they know each other in their ages, two people can not integrate into the beautiful downtown to find a foreign land communication between the vocabulary, they eat together, sing karaoke OK, with silencely, with the confusion ... ... Harry’s eyes only a little more care, Charlotte's eyes only a little more happy, their eyes in Tokyo This presents some real life, have feelings, and not busy walking hurriedly after the cold . Tokyo, so someone do not want to leave. However, the reality of life in the face of the total presentation, there will naturally together that are scattered, since the restraint, it will have to exercise restraint to the end.



The two guys soon strike up a friendship based as much on emotional need as the fact that they are strangers in a very strange city.




However, she spends most of the time alone. Bob and Charlotte's first few encounters are casual - on an elevator, in a bar. Gradually, however, they begin to seek out one another and a bond develops. The two eventually spend nearly every waking hour together, holding deep conversations and finding ways to avoid the eventual parting that both know must occur.

2.SHOT ANALYSIS




The scene I chose that from 01:09:48 to 01:11:05.It is conversation between Bob and Charlotte to discuss about their marriages, their happiness and the meaning of it all.
Mise-en-scene:
This is Bob’s room .two character are Bob and Charlotte……
Colours:
This scene is in Bob’s room .They are lying on his bed after drinking on the night ,so the most of colour is grey around them
Lighting:
There is a little yellow light. They are talking under the dark place.
Sound;
There is no sound effective beside for their dialogue words. they are very quite ,Sometimes Charlotte is looking Bob to listen his marriage and how will to be in the future to come true her dream.




Character movements:
From 01:09:48 to 01:10:10 Charlotte and Bob are looking ceiling with raising their heads. From 01:10:10 to 01:10:30 Charlotte is turning to see Bob. From 01:10:30 to 01:11:00 Bob is also turning to see Charlotte, they are looking and talking each other.
The color complex, but not too much expression, not much dialogue. But every owner of the dialogue between men and women, is a humorous and vivid philosophy course. Charlotte asks Bob, are older is not the same view of life, and Bob replied, perhaps, a little bit. Charlotte, consider the unborn child will end after the birth of her self-life, and Bob replied, to live once, they are actually the same.



Cinematography:






Shot-type: Mix; Camera movement: tracking ;Camera Angle: no



















Shot-type: Mid-shot; Camera movement: zoom in; Camera Angle: no









Shot-type: CU; Camera movement: zoom in; Camera Angle: over shoulder

The two lie on the same bed with the actors, but nothing happened between them, but with nothing to fall back heart to another person what they loss themselves. Against the background of the night, this loss is particularly prominent.

This is Charlotte and Harris between the dialogue in the bed at night. The light of room is dim, but the mood is not low profile. Photographers take full advantage of the depth of the window at night, and by the natural space radiation to the light, make this scene a romantic nature, interesting, and has a meaningful significance. "Playful" side is reflected in the end of this period as a "full stop" in that scene: the right of the screen facing the ceiling sleep Harris, left Charlotte in the body curled up, like a monkey like sleeping in Harris's side, the camera is ninety degrees angle from the ceiling to the front overhead down.

At the end of film,Charlotte once again walking in the street, but this time she did not have no previous sense of direction, she found a life goal, find the power of life to continue walking, from the chaos of life came out. Harris left Tokyo, but also marked him out of the "lost" the shadow, to find a new life path.

The city of Tokyo, and here is no longer a simple city, but it is a road, a magic, a magic power of the road. With the same as Harris, we like to mind from wondering, and he relieved his feelings to be away, all of them were in one.

Scene Analysis
3514_james

The Virgin Suicides, 1999 Sofia Coppola
“On the play ground”

I. SCENE OVERVIEW

Firstly, THE VIRGIN SUICIDES is based on mid 1970 which is the story of five sisters.
And this scene is also described love which had a mind of 1970's girls. I think the scene, huge trees are ordered to be cut down which make the youngest of the Lisbon girl tries to kill herself, is similar to this scene. So It affect 'lux' and other girls suicide as well. Because after this event, they cannot going out anymore by the her mother's rule. I can understand that ‘Lux’ try to watch the real world but she was suffocated by the name of ‘adult’ when she almost knows about the real love and the true of life as teenage little girl.
Still the stand-out music by Air is a pretty good consolation to the film's shortcomings. From this scene, the air’s music (play ground love) played which is about lux and trip in the love.



II. SHOT ANALYSIS

#Scene 1

#Scene 2
Shot Size:This is a long full shot and close up then long full shot again. In the first place, I can tell the place from the full shot then it is closed up to focus on lux’s face which we can know the situation, such as what is her status from her face, we can think a part of scene which shows lonely feeling of lux.
Sound:
When lux recognizes her situation, music is start playing. Air’s music (play ground love) which is the major part of back ground music of the film. Even though it is just back ground music, the moment the music start, we can guess that it is lonely scene. It brings me to a lonely feeling that builds an image that kind of loves about depths of the isolation.

Contrast Dominants:There is a main contrasting color would be Lux’s face and white dress with the blue morning. It is in very light blue, white and black highlight the shot and light shining is on her face directly which makes contrasting. The background is obviously a blue lonely play ground and she is blended into the area that we might think her mood all together in this shot.

Camera Angle:The angle of the camera is based on the ground level. Camera Angle is fixed to the ground. When she looks around the play ground, camera is still fixed. From this angle, I know a lonely expression that she gazes on empty ground.
Lighting:The lighting in this scene is very important part.She lay down on the ground, and the light is from the left side of the shot. The light shows the time when is the morning and it emphasizing to show the empty place.


Color usage:From the beginning I can recognize the color blue which means cold and repressed the emotions of lux and Trip that they feel depressed and desperate.

Character Movement:
From the Camera lens she is in the corner, lux maintains a certain fixed place. After the wake up, she looks around to want to find something, and then she recognizes Trip is gone.

Camera Movement:
It is a fixed lens, there is no outstanding movement.
#Scene 3
Her face is totally different before when she enjoy the time with ‘Trip’. She just bites her crown, which she gets from the competition.
There is no happy mood on her face anymore.
Everything is gone. She would think that the world is the end.

Color usage
The main color is blue which illustrates the cold dawn.
We can feel the cold from the ground and air.
Blue is colored every around the shot so it could make a meaning that we dose not know what is the love and happy.

Lighting
In the dawn, it brings blue lights that only trace the specific area from the sun, which is lighting on her sad white face.
Blue color and mixed light with darkness which is evidence obviously to know that it is early morning.

Character movement
Firstly, she just woke up and tries to understand the situation so she looked around everywhere. When she take a taxi, she dose not move anymore. She just gaze at outside from the window to see somewhere then we can find that only her eyes are moving.

Depth of field
When she wakes up, the shot is focused on her sad face. From the first shot, there is one person who propertied only small part of the shot. She is described small size of character. It means that now she is just the smallest character in the world.



Camera movement
Camera is still stopped to focus her doing. It is fixed for the long shot. After that, camera zoomed in her face. When she is in home, camera is fixed again to long shot.
#Scene 4
"We’re suffocating..."
"No. You’re safe, here."
"I can’t breathe in here..."


Sound
All over the sound of the scene is ‘Play ground love’.
‘Play ground love’ music makes calmness and quietness. Each of sounds is well organized to every shot. Hence, background music represent atmosphere over the playground very well. In addition, birds are singing with slow tempo of music that tells us the morning atmosphere as well.

Camera Angle
The first angle is not so high because this angle makes us to check her situation carefully. After that, it is changed to high level to see the entire playground. When she arrive at home, level of camera height is fixed to the normal eye level which makes us to watch every moment briefly that our eyes do not follow anything so we can distinct the happening simply.

Screen graphic/Composition
In the first place, her body is propertied most of the shot. After that she is described the small part of the shot compared to her surroundings. And we can feel the atmosphere of the morning that makes easy understand what the event was. And then we can recognize that she is al
#Scene 5

Script

Trip :
"I walked home alone that night. I didn’t care how she got home. It was weird.
I mean, I liked her. I liked her a lot. But out there on the field...
It was just different then. That was the last time I saw her."
"You know, most people will never taste that kind of love.
At least I tasted it once, right?"
