Joker-mise en scene
I have chosen this still shot from the Joker (2019) by Todd Phillips as it conveys mise en scene well due to the placing of the character Arthur, the composition of this shot shows a balanced clip of Arthur in the dead centre of the screen and bus seat, this highlights the fact Arthur/ the joker is the centre of this story and makes his position as the main character well known and established. The colouring of the shot is dull, the bus seats are worn out and the windows are graffitied representing the conditions of Gotham city. With the colouring being dim it matches the gritty genre as it showcases difficult and unpleasant features, enforcing a realistic depiction of a urban city. Arthurs costume is lifeless and unexciting representing the sadness and grief of his character at this point of the movie, being the day after realising Bruce Wayne isn’t his father. It highlights how Arthur was a nobody at this point in the movie contesting the bright coloured suit and personality shown on him as the joker.
Set design-
I have chosen this image to represent set design as it shows well the city landscape, as this film was very mainstream and made by large company’s i assume this is a real place in a city rented out for a period. This shot is a clear representation of Arthurs character at his farthest from his alter ego, the joker and i believe this is also shown within the set being dull and monotone.
Costume
I have chosen this image of the joker/ Arthur to represent costume in this film as I believe the clothes Arthur wears reflects on his moods thought the movie, as when he is wearing his grey and monotone everyday clothes his mood is low, however when he wears the bright colourful clothes he is more of the joker persona not only on the outside but also inside.
Space
I have chosen this shot to represent space in the film joker as, the depth of field is far however the joker is still focused, this is aslo a great representation of Arthurs character as he is surrounded by wealthy businessmen and woman and he is stood in the centre of the screen in a working outfit, not only does this shot establish Arthurs class compared to the rest of the characters it also establishes himself as the centre of the story.
Lighting
I used this photo to represent lighting in the joker as the Hollywood mirrors light highlight him as the focal point of the shot.
Composition
I chose this image to represent composition in the film as the blurred silhouettes highlight Arthur and his importance.
makeup
I have chosen this image for makeup as it clearly establishes Arthur as the joker from the very beginning as the look is so distinctive.
You were asked for at least 7 images to illustrate your understanding. ???? Much of your analysis is difficult to understand without the image.
Sometime your comments are very vague : ‘this film was very mainstream and made by large company’s i assume this is a real place in a city rented out for a period.’
I think you are trying to say ‘it’s shot on location and gives the film a greater sense of realsim.’
Pls use capitals for ‘I’ and spellcheck your work (missing apostrophes )
