Thrown of Blood

THRONE OF BLOOD



After watching Throne Of Blood i drew parallels too Shakespeare. Shakespeare's play Macbeth has many similarities to Throne of Blood. there is also some similarities to the famous Japanese Noh theatre. Noh is a major form of classic Japanese musical drama that has been performed since the fourteenth century.
i see this form in the Throne Of Blood, because the Throne Of blood Had a spirit that would tell of great prophecies. Often in the Noh Theatre it usually deals with Spirits, Ghost, phantoms and supernatural worlds. the connection to the spirit in the Throne of Blood is the three witches that appear in Macbeth. the main characters in both story lines both have the same goal and play the same role. both of the women in the Throne of Blood and Macbeth both pay a big part in the great ambition of both characters.
Throne Of Blood Is a Mirror Of Macbeth, That conveys Great Cinematography.
In The throne Of Blood the cinematographer takes shots from many precarious angles. where there should be clear shots of the characters, he makes you pay attention more to detail and the movie, because you have to analyze what is going on.in most of the movie there is a deep mist that is created and it gets thicker when the spirit is in the scene. another element that plays a great part is the voice of the spirit. the voice of the spirit seems low and distorted but travels all through out the forest.

Tomorrows Technology

In 1913, a group of motion picture cameramen in Los Angeles were meeting to speak about the most pressing technical issues facing them at work. specifically the static electricity that was building up in their hand cranked cameras. hand cranked cameras are the first generation of film making cameras. the static electricity was causing the the film to Fog because the static was messing with the camera.eventually the camera evolved and we are using better and sustainable cameras.

Heroe

This movie heroe has great cinematography. the cinematographer enhances the scene with different picture angles. he aslo uses different time frames to intensify the scenes imagry. During the movie the lighting had to be just right. the reason for this, is that if the lighting is not right it would kill the affect of the movie. the lighting is real important because it gives the feel of an old time chinese setting.

O Brother vs The oddesy

O brother where aret thou has many comparison to the great story called the oddyssey. the oddyssey is an epic story of a great heroe going on many great journies,in which he fights great battles. the story plot for O brother where aret thou is the same.in class today we had to draw the parralels between the two. In the movie the men go on a journey that has an obsticle that they have to face and surpass to move on to the next journey.in both the main characters common goal is to get back to his family.both of these plots end with just that.

Clairmont camera

Many directors and cinematographers like the benefits of high definition cameras. Though the directors and cinematographers still want to use the same 35mm cine lenses that they trust and have worked with over the years. With the large sensor, the new sony F35 camera directly accepts PL-mounted lenses so these cinematographers get the look and feel of 35mm cine they desire.

Rear window

The rear windows cinematography played a big part in its success like most movies. the camera view at the beginning of the movie starts off in simalarity like the movie Lawrence of Arabia. the vast view of the whole town sets the mood and kind of tells a story before the movie even starts. for example the main character, a wheel chair inbounded man starts off by watching everyone in the town. the camera angle shows this by showing you the view that he is actually seeing. so you can kind of infer that the movie is going to be about him looking at something that he shouldnt have seen or something of importance. in the gloomy scenes of the movie there is not alot of lighting, which supports the mood at the time. and when there is alot of lighting the cinematographer places more light in the scene. there was also a gloss to the scene, where he interacts with the girl that is in love with the character in a wheel chair.

today was arighy. today was Fcat day and i wasnt a part of it becuase i am a senior. al the seniors did nothing the whole day

O brother......

O brother where art thou was a great movie the cinematography in this movie was spectacular. in some of the scenes the cinematographer used an affect that makes that particular scene yellow. when watching this movie the way the characters are captured through the film really amplified their mood at the time. the best part of the movies cinematography was the end where there was a massive flood. the flood signifies the sins being washed away and how the main character gets a second chance at life.
