Film Technique Kaylee Carico
Bunny
As I have stated before, Bunny was a short film I had since forgotten from my childhood that came back to haunt me. Its film techniques were dark and luminous in a cramped home where an old grumpy rabbit cooked her dishes in that late evening.While the title of the short emerges and leads the audience on that the short will be wholesome and cute, the audience quickly learns the title to be misleading. The "Bunny" the title talks of is an old, bony, and mean rabbit found in a room only illuminated by one singular light bulb hanging form the ceiling adding to the creepy ambiance of the short which is already was a thing of nightmares with its chaotic and uninteresting background music meant to keep the audience on edge as they watch the rabbit die from the fumes of a stove meant to bake an annoying fly into a cake of some sort. The short had no spoken words, meant to add to the simplicity of the ability for universal understanding in viewing of the creepy short.In watching the short now, I am able to understand now that the film is meant to have an underlying tone of creepiness as well as that the film was turning a very serious topic into one that could be simplified for a child to watch and comprehend that what happened to the bunny was what happens to all people when they pass away, they simply fly away to another place much more peaceful and beautiful than the place which was presented as chaotic and scary in the short.
Harold and Maud
I enjoyed this film for it's gruff and youthful humor of how desensitized the youth of today are to topics such a suicide that we will find them hilarious when joked about. The movie used camera angles to highlight the differences of views between not only the mother and the son but as well as the son and Maud. Of course the touch of lyrical music by Cat Stevens was perfect to set the tone of the beauty in uniqueness as Maud explained her views of why, at first glace, every flower may look the same but as you approach them to see closer up, one can see that the flowers are all very unique in their own ways. As the movies follows Harold and Maud, the camera angles present the the differences in views via presenting various way to view situations such as upside down in the reflection of water, a colony of flowers huddled together in a field, as well as a stock pile of garbage.
Northfork
The techniques in this film focused on the various metaphors that could be made with the differing situations each character had been put in, like that of the unwanted sick boy who had been very mistreated by those who abandoned him numerous times in his life as he ran through a herd of buffalo who had also been mistreated by those who had came into their life and desired to gun them down for fur until they were dwindling in numbers. The metaphor of the angel house being cut in half to represent the dead and the living side, and one a man crossed over, he was able to see the angels who inhabited the abandoned house. Another metaphor which was produced was on of the church being held with no backdrop but the natural world to vastly over look the Sunday sermon in which Gods creation was that which bared witness.
Pink Floyd
The Pink Floyd movie techniques emphasize mostly around the symbolical metaphors that can be seen throughout the many differing songs that are played over the course of the movie. The first one being based around the flaws of war and who suffers from the impacts of it in the symbolism of skinny creatures who have gas masks for faces which symbolize all of those which the system has failed. The flowers symbolizing a toxic intimate relationship, the school boys and girls who have been failed by their school system in how their uniqueness has been stomped out over time forcing them to turn to more radical forms of expression and thus ending up sentenced to jail by the ass of a judge in charge of sentencing.
