track: this is when the camera follows and moves with the character/ subject.

crab: this is when the camera follows side to side with the character and subject.

crash zoom: this is when the camera suddenly zooms in on a character or a situation this is very sudden and is used as a cliche in horror movie.

The mise-en-scene in Dune is stunning and perfectly captures the sci-fi world in which it’s set. In this analysis I will be focusing on the use of costumes.

Lady Jessica’s costumes are the most elaborate and colourful out of all the characters. The use of the colours: blue, gold and red communicate to the audience her status in their society and also how wealthy House Atreides is. Her costumes contrast the otherwise neutral colour scheme. Lady Jessica’s costumes are some of the only to include embroidering, this fine detail also suggests she is an important figure. The film also takes influences from Islam and includes it into their costumes. For example the majority of the women in the film are seen with veils covering their hair which greatly resemble hijabs. I think the director, Denis Villeneuve, made this decision regarding the costume to help the audience relate to the world of ‘Dune’ because even though it is not set on Earth it does bare resemblances to the Middle East and North Africa – where the majority of the Muslim population live.

Islam is not the only thing Villeneuve took influence from for his costumes. The costumes which the Fremen wear when out in the desert bare similarities to costumes from Star Wars, undoubtedly the biggest Sci-Fi series of all time. The character I think most of the influence stems from is Rey from “Star Wars: The Last Jedi”. The colours like beige and dark grey help build the classic neutral colour scheme. The types of materials are also similar like the sheer mesh-like material and the armour pattern on the suit. In my opinion the film crew made this decision to include some classic tropes from Sci-Fi films.

One-point perspective- draws the audience’s eye to a certain point on screen by creating a vanishing point within frame.

Symmetry- used to make a shot look organised and stylised, it can also be used to make the audience feel uneasy symmetry can feel forced and unnatural.

Deep focus- allows the audience to see significant details in the foreground and the background.

Steadicam Tracking Shot- When a camera is used to move through a scene, often following a subject.

Worm’s eye-

An extreme low angle shot used to make the audience feel intimidated by the character on screen. Here it is used to make the viewer feel small and almost childlike having to look up to Jack in this scene.

Eye-level-

Seen as neutral by the audience and the most commonly used angle.

Canted/Dutch Angle-

Often used to make the audience feel uneasy and that something is wrong, that is because the angle itself is unnatural and usually contrasts the majority of the angles used previously.

Extreme Close-Up-

Makes the audience focus on a specific detail, here it is Magneto’s eyes and his expression.

Medium/Mid shot-

Seen as neutral and the most common type of shot, this is because it shows what one would normally be able to see when in an talking in an environment to another person.

Long shot-

Used to show a character and their environment, here it is to show the audience Bilbo leaving the Shire, a location that is significant to him as a character.

Tracking shot- a shot which follows a subject around the scene.

This is well executed in the film the shining when they follow the character Danny around the hotel.

pan- creates a 360 around a character or the character creates a 360 around the camera. Also the camera could scape across the landscape and pan around the area.

In the sound of music the camera creates a 360 around the main character as she sings.

Zoom- Zoom shots are used to zoom in on characters or landscapes during important moments of a scene.

In the film ratatouille the camera zooms into 2 characters as they are having a semimetal moment.

diegetic- close up on the actor to show the emotions of the scene.

In spiderman there is a close up on the actor Tom Holland as he tries on his new glasses which are revolutionary.

intra-diegetic- shoeing what an actor sees. Creates the feeling as if you are in the film yourself and are the actor speaking/ being spoken to.

in the breakfast club you look directly at the actors as if you are speaking to them

extra-diegetic gaze-Actors speaking directly or looking down a camera lense. breaking the 4th wall.

American Horror Story, Murder House. Tate staring down the lense to create a eerie affect. As a viewer this made me intrigued and on edge questioning what Tate was going todo and why he was looking down the lense like that.

In the film fear street 1978 the use of a high angle shot is used to show fear and anxiety as one of the actors is faced with the killer and is helpless on what to-do. This makes the viewer tense and on edge as the assumption is created of this character being killed.

In the film Alice In Wonderland the use of a eye level shot is used to show the emotions and despair the Mad Hatter is feeling. This connects the viewer with the Mad Hatter making the viewer feel sympathy and condolence towards the Mad Hatter.

In the film Matilda the use of the worms eye shot shows how the character Miss Trunchable is looking down on you. Being looked down on shows that the person who is looking down is angry with you or disappointed depending on the facial expression. For this particular shot it shows anger and inner rage that is about to he taken out on the student Miss trunchable is looking down on. This makes the viewer anxious for the student due to the way the anger is shown during the worms eye shot.
