Good Fellas clip:
They use panning to follow the characters, tracking shot. There is only one shot, it doesn't cut to a different part, meaning that the man and woman are the main characters. Using one long take shows realism, giving the effect that it could actually happen.
The man has more importance, because the camera follows him throughout the restaurant.
He talks to al of the people he passes by, the owners sit them right at the front near the stage and he goes through the back entrance, meaning he is more privileged that he doesn't have to queue.
Batman clip:
Lots of close ups on the bad guys, don't see batman until later on in the clip. point of view shot giving the idea of what is going on and the surroundings. Following shot, tracking him that he goes up into the sky.
Close ups are mainly to show the peoples fear as the people are being taken one by one. Lots of movement with the camera, not particularly focused on one thing. Intensity of close ups, creates idea of being trapped. Batman is only seen when he wants to be seen, only glimpses to create mystery. Hides within the shadows. Point of view as they look around to see what is taking the others, motion blur.
Saving Private Ryan clip:
Lots of close ups showing reactions on their faces. cameras low down showing they have power until they are shot, they lose their power. Close up of his face. Slow motion as it shows shock when there is an explosion. He is always in focus, extreme close up helps to connect to the character. Low angled shots of camera looking up at the people, showing they have power then losing their power.
Underwater slow motion with no sound so you only focus on the people. See his hands shaking in the extreme close up. Shakey point of view of a solider to make it dramatic, so viewers can relate to it.
Inglorious bastards clip:
Guns under the table symbolising masculinity, phalic objects. More below the surface, secrecy.
Gone with the wind clip:
Panning. shallow focus with all of the dead bodies and injured people. Shows how small she is when it gradually pans out.
Main character is mostly in the centre. She shows more importance.
High up camera, as it gets wider it shows more and more dead bodies and injured people surrounding her.
Flag shows where they are, location, it is ripped meaning there is war, but its still flying showing hope. Bodies in the background of the flag showing they have hope.
Some good points of analysis. Embed the clips from my blog so you have something too revise from.
