PLot ideas:  - opens with the siblings killing someone - use wide shot from distance when the death happens- The two talk while the camera looks up with a dutch-tilt from the corpses perspective/low angle and they start cleaning up their mess, they confirm the death then go back to their daily lives, which is surprisingly domestic. Mafia themes. Monsta X m/v - lighting examples and shots  - bickering dialogue , sarcastic sibling rivalry, woman complains about the blood -use of back and forth shots with full shots/wide shots of the two in the room together- brother calls her a 'wus' or 'pussy' because it 'wasn't as messy as the last one' which we will never learn about in detail.  - woman's attitude switches - lighting should change tone slightly to signify the change- randomly and isn't addressed other than the brother using different 'nicknames' for her depending on how she acts - hinting towards her condition.  - they are show...

Simple yet effective - Sweeney Todd vibe and colour palette?  - use of the Dias Irae music, orchestral and pop music (instrumental) Mafia, sociopathic, gothic, with pops of colour where necessary  - plot could be based on siblings that are brutal and lack emotion that kill and torture for the sake of it. Use of light and contrast to separate destinations like Curfew.  - personality trait changes slightly as more events happen.  - use of sound is key, adding quiet and precise music can help create tension etc.  - "Knives Out", "Parasite", "Sweeney Todd", "Coraline" ~ Film Inspo  - "Middle of the night - Monsta X" "Black Swan - BTS" "Coming of age ceremony - Park Ji Yoon" ~ aesthetic inspiration.  - style - hair slicked back, dark, formal and regal, chunky boots, harnesses? dark eyeshadow, neat-freaks. fashion resembles the following images and aesthetics:  - uses camera angles and shots that La Jetee uses...

Curfew:  In Curfew, the film has a constant use of colour to help show the contrast between different environments and to set the mood between the characters we follow through the film. The the dirty red used when the man is self-harming in the bathroom and matches the phone he answers which stop him from cutting. The bright, neon blues of the bowling alley create a more exciting and nostalgic atmosphere that could call a person back to their childhood. the dirty browns and almost sepia-toned filter when the man visits a building to retrieve his things it creates a disturbing atmosphere that isn't suitable for a child. The usage of the lights are significant when he takes the child home and some lights are lit, one being pink - this could represent a bond being made between uncle and niece. The red colour is used the most with there being a reference to the self harm the main character does, like the red car lights seen when he takes the bus home to resume what he was doing. The l...

"How does the aesthetic quality of Trainspotting depict ideological issues of youth and addiction?" You must refer to two scenes.  In the film Trainspotting , the aesthetic is used carefully to represent the ideological issues of the youth of the time and the additions of 1990's Scotland. We see this in the scene where Renton swims in 'The Worst Toilet in Scotland' where the scene opens with Renton being given suppositories in an abandoned apartment. The lighting is natural and the design of the furniture in the room presents the appearance of a drug dealer of the decade - a mattress with old blankets, alcohol bottles and bare plaster and poorly-painted wall shows his low as a man surviving of dealer income. The camera angles shows the dealer being lower in shots to show his standard of living in this time. Renton is placed at the top showing he is still at a higher point as he still has family and friends to rely on when he gets low. The non-diegetic music play...

Discuss how important cinematography is in establishing strong responses from spectators to a key character in 'La La Land' Your answer must refer to 1 scene in detail. 750-900  The scene opens up to Mia sitting at a dinner table with her current boyfriend and another couple, and we see that Mia looks extremely uncomfortable - her clothing choice shows that she doesn't like the situation as she wears a dark green which contrasts with her previous colour palettes (yellows etc.)and her appearance helps her stand out in the scene - clearly showing that she doesn't belong in the situation and rather in the cinema/theatre with Sebastian. The room is lit with moody lighting and has dull colour tones, which mirrors the mood that both viewer and Mia would experience as both would long for Mia to be with Sebastian at the cinema.  The next shot shows a glass being filled with red wine, and wine can represent friendship and transformation - therefore showing how her friendship ...

How far does Winter's Bone rely upon an understanding on it social context? Refer in detail to at least one sequence from the film [20]  When reviewing the scenes of Winter's Bone, we see that the film uses contextual reference and verisimilitude to the social issues of Ortiz, Missouri.  In the scene where Ree visits her aunt and uncle - Victoria and Teardrop - we see the living conditions and Teardrop immediately has the power within the household. Within the community, the men run the area and have control over the women in their lives - seeming to be very patriarchal. We see this in other scenes as when she visits her friend, she has to get permission from her boyfriend to even walk through the door.  As Teardrop takes a seat, we already can tell the woman remains domestic in the background of the medium shot and does everything for the husband without questioning it - mostly because the woman could be punished for disobeying the man in a community like this. Tear...
