Seven Samurai


The seven Samurai is black and white Japanese film.the movie is constructed with different lenses,sounds,close-ups,and in every black and white movie,shades. in the seven samurai the cinematographer shows important scenes in different lenses. which mean that the camera show a closer than it actually is. this is used to show the main character of that scene from a different view point. whether its third person which gives the effect that you are actually there.one example of this is when they show Shino's(the farmers daughter) father with the effect that he is actually standing in the fire. this represents how mad he is that his daughter is in love with a samurai.
there are many close-ups that arecasted on the main character. especially when he is given a up lifting speech to the other samurai or the farmers. in one instance the camera was so close that he was out of frame, and all you saw was his enraged face. this emphasizede the importants and focus of his speech.

TITUS



Released in 1999, Julie Taymor's visually and viscerally striking adaptation of William Shakespeare's tragedy Titus Andronicus is an overlooked work which came in for ample criticism during its release balanced in equal part with praise for its acting and visuals.The film is visually stunning with magnificent and bold camera work. Certainly much has been done with Shakespeare's work on the big screen, most recently with the light touch of Shakespeare In Love, but "Titus" is something new and completely different in terms of filmmaking. Taymor does bring sort of a theatrical quality to the film's sequences, and it actually serves the proceedings well. It's one of those films that grabs the viewer (literally) and pulls him or her into the chaos, starting with an odd scene of a boy playing war games, and then being pulled into a coliseum. and thats how the movie begins.
the tale is the most violent work that shakespeare has produced. and in this movie it is depicted well with the gory scenes. The film's visuals do work with the story for quite a while. like the use of colors, Colors run the range from being pale and subdued to beautiful and rich. Especially some fo the outdoor scenes look good, with rich greens and clear blues.another great quality of the movie is the sound,much of the audio is inviting and involving.
