(ONLY WATCH TO 1:16)
From the very beginning of the scene we are immediately
shown a distant perspective of the setting to quickly tell the viewer where the
main character is in relation to his surroundings. This also establishes the setting and also captivates the entire set. Furthermore, we learn that the
character is lying down among a very crowded beach full of people which is
seen in the background. It is obviously a hot day due to the fact that everyone
is seen with swimming costumes on, except from the main character, Theodore.
This is perhaps metaphorically suggesting that he is different and somewhat
isolated from society as he disregards the need to be like everyone else. As
the clip progresses, there is a panned view of beach giving us an insight into
what Theodore is viewing. The fact that this is
slightly blurred again reinforces this idea that he is somewhere distant from the
busyness and immersed within his own world. Objects are clearly seen
positioned carefully on the beach trying to make the view more believable and a
natural occurrence. The warm tones and colours also make this particular clip
more intimate and close, trying to captivate the scene and involve the audience
as if we were actually there.
The following scene is a still of the sea and sunset. Conversely, the colors seen are seemingly bluer and this therefore makes the atmosphere rather cold and lonely. Maybe it’s implying a sense of reflection or time alone from the scene prior to it. It also gives a more relaxing and calm impression, notifying the audience that the film is progressing and the mood has completely changed. In the distance we can see the sun which is hiding behind some clouds. This is really significant in terms of positioning as it gives the shot a focal point which grabs our attention more so than a clear sky. It also tells us that we are now in the evening of that same day which is important chronologically so we cannot assume the story has skipped in time. There is also some very close shots of the main character and the background is almost entirely blurred to draw our attention and show that the setting is now not as important as the character being filmed.
