Work

1. These three images illustrate and display different
establishing shots of location and weather etc. However,
as the backgrounds change, so do the names of people,
for instance the cast or producer etc. The first one has a
different background with person’s name who is one of
the main characters.
The next image has another character’s name, but this
time with a different background of a misty and cloudy
mountain area.
The third image displays another name, but with an
extreme close-up of a leaf; this yet again is trying to
depict nature and climate. This camera shot type is used
to add a variety of shot types, as it makes it interesting
and engaging for the audience to watch.
This could be related and compared to the audience
theory of ‘Richard Dyer’s utopian theory’ (1977). It is
specifically compared to one of the words stated in this
theory which is “Dreariness” this makes the audience
‘alert’ as these images clearly give a sense of it being a
lonesome and isolated atmosphere. Furthermore, these
images would be described using words such as: gloomy,
dismal, mysterious, melancholy etc.
