Analysis Of Fallen angels

 



During the production of Chungking express, wong kar wai wanted to originally create a third storyline to portray hong kong however due to time complications he was unable thus leading to the creation of wong kar wais 5th Film fallen angels. to me, I believe that fallen angels can be seen as a love letter towards hong kong as it critics the atmosphere that the city had over the period when great Britain had handed over the rule of the region to mainland China. themes of loss and remembrance play a major role within this film to depict the life he saw hong kong would soon lead due to the events at the time. Similar to the production of chunking express, the film was produced over a short period with the script being written in the morning and shooting in the night. stylistic features are that a majority of this film is shot with a wide-angle lens to emphasize the sensation seen within the characters throughout the film. fallen angels, compared to its predecessor, takes a more minimalistic and experimental approach to the film with at first screening audiences would be highly confused. he creates a dream-like atmosphere with various different personalities in a densely populated and overwhelming hong kong. a personal favorite scene within this film is when a character solemnly talks about the passing of his father. as the scene progresses you can see him reminiscing upon memories he had with his father. this scene alone represents wong feelings upon hong kong

Pitch

Idea 1 The scene begins with an establishing shot of a sofa within a living room designed in the style of which a living room will look like within the 1960s. the scene continues forward with a family jumping onto and sitting on the sofa to then enjoy family time. the family will be wearing generic clothing that is usually associated with the 1960s. facial expressions will be very very vibrant and happy to show that they're enjoying the time that they're having. still keeping the same establishing shot, the scene progresses with the family leaving and crew from the production team rearranging the set and creating a scenery of an 80s living room. the same family will return to the set wearing traditional 80s fashion whilst continuing to enjoy quality family time.  this scene repeats where the set changes into a traditional 90s and 00s living room with the cast dressing accordingly. the scene then transitions to a shot of a phone where the living room set in the 00s is on the scr

Planning and editing music video

Introduction The song I have decided to work with is a song by a close friend, Harrison Powers, that's titled "Carrying On".  they're so many reasons as to why I've decided to work with this song. After closely analysing the deeper contextual meanings behind the song with my friend I later discovered that the song has deeper meanings of alcoholism and moving and growing past the addiction that comes with it. I believe we are able to link many visual ideas to the song as well keeping the song fresh and creative to align with his musical persona he would like to portray to a general audience. The video we want to create is a simple yet effective that will drive the song further to an audience without mentioning the deeper meanings as we believe they're too personal and will end up making the video  Planning After talking to my client we finally decided that it will be best to go for a rather conventional music video that establishes different stylistic traits th

Camera Lenses and Their Effect

Types of Lenses  Wide Angle Lenses  wide-angle lenses usually range between 16 and 35mm, the overall purpose of a wide-angle lens is to capture more within your frame. this may be used for shooting landscapes and cityscapes. they're commonly known to be used in establishing shots in films to help the audience depict time, place, and context. wide angles have a deep depth of field so you are able to have more of the shot in focus. a flaw to wide-angle lenses is that when used in a close-up shot the image can look quite distorted. Macro Lenses  the purpose of a macro lens is to make tiny objects seem larger, it allows a photographer to capture little details that are not visible to the eye. macro lenses have a very close focusing distance therefore the photographer has to be very close to the object to allow the image to look very crisp.  macro lenses have a variety of focal lengths that will be used for specific things. 50mm lens will be used for objects such as a coin or some jewel
