THE DARK KNIGHT

The next movie we watched was The Dark Knight, Batman, Gordon and Harvey Dent are forced to deal with the chaos unleashed by an anarchist mastermind known only as the Joker, as it drives each of them to their limits. I love this movie and I found there were some really interesting camera angles such as:

• Close ups on the characters made it clear to the audience how they were feeling, it really emphasized their emotions.
• When the camera was moving through the city, this was a really interesting shot as it was at night so was therefore dark and gave a very mysterious, creepy feeling.
• The close up shots of the two characters holding hands, this quite clearly showed the audience the feelings being portrayed.
• The close up of Bruce with the city lights behind him, this was interesting as it created a lot of depth.
• The close up of the Jokers face, this was a great camera shot as you could see in detail his facial expressions.
• During this movie there was an awful lot of tension and suspense created, the ones in particular I picked up on were:
• The music being played throughout was very tense and a lot of the time it was being built up to something big.
• The lighting was dim which created mystery.
• The awkwardness and hate between the characters at certain points in the film definitely created a lot of tension.
• The jokers evil laugh.
• I found Batman’s deep voice created suspense.
• The masks which the characters wear also create a lot of tension and suspense as they have hidden identities.
