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

Analysing genre specific editing techniques

Individual approaches and styles are used to show different genres of cinema during editing. The way these genres are edited changes the way we think about the tale and our emotions shift as a result of the strategies utilised; it catches and draws the audience in. Fast-paced editing is frequently employed in horror films. This is done to create suspense and make the audience nervous and anxious about what will happen next. They're anticipating being astonished or scared by the next quick-cut shot. The most typical shot in these types of films is a low shot. In the shots of chosen characters, low shots evoke anxiety. They intimidate people, exude authority, and believe they are superior to the other characters in the picture. In horror films, the use of high shots and close-up shots denotes vulnerability, usually in the victims.
