In this scene Arthur Fleck was just mugged by kids in the street and brutally beaten up. The frame of the camera is effective as I makes the audience feel as if they are peeping around the corner to see Arthur. This is also a wide angle shot to she the depression and gloom to emphasise the emotion of Arthur at that moment in time.

This still shot of when Arthur Fleck had fully transformed into Joker makes his costumes and makeup stand out for the audience. The lighting in this scene is also very affective as it is dark around Joker with a bright lift light shining on his head to show the makeup and costume he is wearing. It also shows his facial expression clearly with a look of deep meaning. As the back drop is plane it makes Joker stand out for the viewer.

With this shot has an unbalanced scene with loads of the same colour in one. The composition helps the viewer understand who the directors want people to concentrate on. The Joker in the foreground is clear and easy to see for the audience. Whereas the rioters in Joker masks are blurred out so that we focus on the Joker apposed to the rioters.

Film Stock and Aspect Ratio

The aspect ratio of a film is how the scene is shot. If it is a western for example, then the scene would be a wide angled shot to show the vastness of the landscape. If the scene is in a lift or a tight space then the shot of the camera will be tall and narrow to make the scene claustrophobic and small.
