Dr. Strangelove

In this time I have to analyze a movie in terms of Cinematographic form. It is the light, the lenses and the film stock. Also include the camera movement, the angles, and the point of view. In this case I analyze the movie Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. For this I chose one scene. It is when the Captain Mandrake is in the office of General Rippert. In this scene the General Rippert is talking to the Captain about the nuclear bombs. In this scene we can see the power of light. The light is focused in the General Rippert. The light is low key lighting and hard key light that is coming from the top. The director can show to us important things that have the General. For example his face, shows his bad thoughts, and his sense of victory. Other thing that highlights is his cigar that shows his power. The angle that they are is in a low angle position, because they are very close. And finally the moving of camera is a pan shot because the camera is moving horizontally.

Mise-en-scéne

In the movie Lolita, I chose two of the scenes. It was when Humbert knows Lolita in her house. These scenes are mise-en-scene because we can conclude that they going to have a relationship. We can interpret it when we see their behavior. The first scene scene start when Humbert comes to Lolita's house. Her mother is showing to him her house, and he is not interesting in buy it. But when she shows him the garden he saw Lolita. She dresses a bikini. At that time both were watching with a look very captivating. And he changes his opinion, and decides to buy the house. In the second scene Lolita, her mother and Humbert are in an auto cinema. She is scared and put her hand in Humbert's hand and her mother too. But we can see that Humbert likes that Lolita put her hand on him, but he don't like the hand of her mother. In the first scene I came to the conclusion that between humbert and lolita are kind of attraction. This because Humbert wanted to leave the house, but to reach the garden and see the beautiful flowers, the beautiful garden, and of course the beauty of Lolita, all the things grab his attention. In the second scene I can interpret that humbert loves Lolita and she is attracted by him. Because their hands and faces show that they want to have a relationship.
