Responses and comparison
Responses and comparison:
1.) What techniques do both film-makers employ to try and create emotional responses in the films and outline what these emotional responses are?
-In both films the film-makers have used Mis-en-scene to create an emotional response for the audience. One example of this is in the first five minutes of captain fantastic the spectators could have an emotional response of shock and outrage. This is because we see the brutal killing of the animal. The children are coated in camouflage and use knifes and arrows to kill their prey. This creates a more significant response for us as spectators as the killing is brutal and shocking whereas if it was just a typical man shooting an animal from a distance it would not be as effective. The costumes the family wear also helps create and emotional response for the spectators as they may be shocked by the cruel nature of the children. They are coated in mud and camouflage which suggests they are aggressive hunters. This contrasts with the next scene in the film as they clean of the coat of camouflage and play together like 'typical' American citizens. This narrative technique used by the film-makers could provoke an emotional response of relief for the spectators as they see them living a more civilised life in which they are not brutal and aggressive. The performance of the actors also contribute to the emotional responses of the spectators as the way they behave in the opening scene could to us as viewers being shocked by there actions as it is not something we would expect from children as young as the age of 6.
Another scene of the film that creates and emotional response for the spectators is the funeral scene. The use of Mis-en-scene and sound create a sense of joy for the viewers. This is because the children dance and sing around the burning body of their mother with happy smiles and a sense of relief that they were able to give their mother the funeral she wanted. The song is uplifting and therefore creates an emotional response of joy and happiness for the spectators. This contrasts with the previous funeral her mother and father gave her as it was bleak and dull. This was interrupted by ben and his children as they enter with bright colourful clothing on. The costumes could represent how the family do not conform to the typical American society.
In the film Inception the film-makers use techniques such as Mis-en-scene and cinematography to create an emotional response from the spectators. In the film the makers have left the film with an opening ending. The films closing scene shows Cobb returning home. His children turn round in slow motion which creates a sense of optimism for the spectators as we hope he is back to his normal reality. However the totem he spins on the table does not stop therefore we aren't fully aware if he is back to reality at the end of the film.
Similarly in the film Inception the film-makers use techniques such as Mis-en-scene and cinematography in order to create an emotional response from the spectators. In the scene where the bus is falling of the edge of the bridge we see a number of different camera angles. Such as a long shot in order to show us how far the bus has to fall and a close up to see the emotion and movement of the characters in the film. The bus also falls in slow motion which allows us to view the other events that are happening at the same time before the bus falls into the water. This makes the spectators feel a sense of excitement as they need to retrive the information in the dream before the bus crashes therefore it also creates urgency within the characters.
2.) Outline with examples the factors that affect how different spectators may respond:
-In the film Captain Fantastic many of the spectators may have different responses and feelings towards the film. There are numerous factors which affect the response of the audience. One of these factors are the beliefs of the spectator. For example in the opening scene we see Bo brutally kill an animal. If the spectator therefore was vegan they may react differently to a spectator that worked on a farm and see that happen regularly. Another factor which could affect the spectators response is the experiences that the spectators have been through personally. For example if the spectator has lost a relative they might feel more attached to the film and relate more to the characters then people who have not experienced losing a relative.
In the film Inception the spectators may all have different responses to the film. Some of the factors that could affect the responses are the age of the spectator, where they are viewing the film or who they are viewing it with. One example in the film Inception could be when Cobb's wife is on the edge of the hotel window about to commit suicide. If the spectators have suffered from losing a family member they may be more emotional when watching the scene as they can relate to the circumstance. Furthermore if the spectator has a fear of heights they may also respond differently to someone who isn't bothered by them.
