We as a class watched the 1968 movie 'A space oddysey' which i think was a very dragged movie. What i mean by this is i believe everything was happening too slowly and could easily bore the audience. Maybe it wasn't the sort of movie i'd watch? The movie did have its pros and cons.
First of all we had a look at the script. In terms of organisation the script was very detailed with timings of when what happened in each chapter of it. With all the organisation i still found the script a slight bit confusing.
The sound effects of the movie were good to a certain level. Sometimes i believe some of the sounds were too exaggerated for my liking and also for the scene itself. There were some fight scenes between the apes. Before they begun there would be a tense sound effect like a drum effect to create the suspence for the audience which i believe was good for the movie.
I believe the acting in the movie was quite poor, but i have to bare in mind the fact that this is a 60's movie. I have not watched the whole movie so i have not seen most of the acting yet as most of the scenes we watched were mainly based around sound effects.
One of the main things in which i noticed the cast have spent their time on was the settings of the scenes and how they would go about fittin it in. Before we started watching the movie clip our teacher Miss Paradise asked us where we think it will be set with our understanding of the script. I thought to myself that ot was going to be set in a dessert like place. This is because in the script they talked about how the setting was in caves, this made me think that it will be set in a dessert like scene.
In terms of filmaking and the shooting of certain shots i believe they done a good job due to the fact that there were certain shots such as the sunset in the beginning was really effective as it tells the audience what kind of settin they are falling into.
Overall i think this was a poor movie in terms of acting but in terms of sound effects i believe that it was reasonable, but theovoe did excel in terms of filmaling and certain shots.

It would be good to comment on other aspects of the film too. For example, what about the cinematography? What did you think about the 'look' of the film? How about visual effects? Storyline?
ReplyDeleteThis is a good start, but I think your analysis of the film should branch out and include more aspects of film making.
It is also useful to reflect on how this film could influence your decisions when making your own film.
