Chicken Run Camera Angles

Run has many uses of camera travels. Camera angles can be apply in many different ways, (low, high or mid angles), in particular in Chicken Run. In Chicken Run camera angles be used to give the viewer a sense of what is going on and influence the viewer on how a constituent is regarded e. g. if the camera angle is gazing directly upwards towards a character this would usually indicate that the character in question has a lot of power or they argon in charge.Camera angles can be used to show effects such as panic and calm on characters epending on what is taking transmit around them. A great example of this effect takes move into as Ginger and the other wimps are being chased through the chicken yard by guard dogs. The camera angle in this mise en scene flickers corroboratewards and forwards constantly, keeping in tempo with what is taking place at present through forth the chase. As the chase comes to a advent Mrs Tweedy appears in front of Ginger and the camera angle cha nges to a low angled gunman and stays fixed, this proves that all is calm over again and The very outset shot is of the moon.This instantly implies the writing style and sets the tone f the film the shot is very common of the horror movie genre of films from the 20th century (which is to a fault when the film is set). 3. The first shot pans smoothen across to where Mr Tweedy and his two dogs are move. The view of the fence skirt the farm closely resembles the prisoner-of-war films which inspired the film itself. There is almost no ponderous and the melody is quiet and mysterious to effect. He has dogs with him, most seeming for protection, with fierce expressions, showing the mood of the scene. 4. Match-on-action shot of Mr Tweedys hand checking the lock on the gate.This suggests that he does not want anything or anyone getting in or out, and that he may be hiding something. Cut to an extreme low-angle close-up of his feet walking away. We never see his face in the first part of this sequence. This creates a sense of conundrum as to who he is. It could mean that he is the of import antagonist of the film because of this. 5. A fgure emerges and tries not to be noticed. This further suggests the first character we see (Mr Tweedy) is the antagonist since a character wants to hide from him, plainly we still dont fully understand why the fgure is hiding rom him.There is mystery surrounding the fgure as well as we cannot see (yet) who it is. Foot emerges before the rest of the body, suggests the figure is nervous of showing him/herself. 6. The water tower in the background connotes a guard tower in a typical prisoner-of-war film, so again there is reference to films such as The slap-up Escape which the film closely parodies, and also that there is a greater metier on Mr Tweedys side. 7. The shadow (Ginger) makes a run for it, again trying not to be caught. The way the dog hears Ginger first suggests the riskiness is close she is about o be caught. . Ginger is nearly caught an example of a false alarm where we believe the character has been caught but hasnt. 9. Match-on-action shot shows her frustration as she digs. Shot of the spoon being thrown back onto the floor she is forced to leave everything but herself behind. 10. We are misled to believe she is sately across and all the danger is over, but in the next snot more chickens arrive. These two shots hark back the previous shots of Ginger running across, so the risk of danger is repeated. 12.Cutting in the midst of the two actions of the chickens trying to scape and the dogs running towards them again this shows frustrationand pressure for the chickens and a sense of danger. The sound and music both add to this effect by suddenly increasing dramatically, rising as the dogs near. 13. The sound and music turn in now increased to their full volume as Ginger turns to run. We last see the face of the character we saw at the beginning, albeit for two shortened seconds. The camera zooms in sharply on his triumphant expression. 14.Short, sharp cuts surrounded by shots, as well as the camera following the dogs, creates a shade of speed and shows the meeting of the chase. Ginger stops and turns back in this shot she has nowhere to turn. 15. Shot-reverse-shot between Ginger and the dogs is used to show she is trapped. The camera also backs away with Ginger there is a slow zoom out on this shot of the dogs closing in. 16. The dog eating the gnome signal (that Ginger tries to force them away with) shows her helplessness and what is destined for her. We dont see the impact of the head being eaten, implying violence. 17. Close-up shot of her head, slowly panning in.The attention is on her affright expression, as the camera zooming in slowly shows how her doom is coming nearer nd nearer. 18. Both Ginger and the dogs turn at the light from behind her. The dismissal has changed and is like a light from heaven as if Ginger is being called or summoned, as if everything has already happened. The music has also stopped suddenly. 19. Cutting back to the curious faces of the chickens. There is no music and very quiet sound everyone has stopped to look, creating suspense of what they are looking at. 20. The camera pans up uncover the true main antagonist, with a short piece of dramatic music for this shot.
