Deconstruction of Media Product(2)

The next scene is also from Jerry Mguire; part of the ending to be more specific.

Scene starts with a close up of shot of one of the supporting charatcer's, the background is very well lit and showing christmas accents. The setting used for this scene is the protagonist's house- the settings have been, therefore, worked on accrodingly; very soft and cozy look has been created inside the house. As for the lights, flats lights have been used throughout the scene giving characters' a very soft look and making their faces glowy and entirely visible. 

Colour palatte used for the costumes is complimenting the genre, also the costumes colours are very pleasing to the eye-pastel colours are used.

The screen shots from the moive above are showing the use of the colour palett for characters' costumes.

The shot then cuts away to the long shot of the protagonist-low key lightings are used here to add to the nght time effect. The long shot zooms in and stops at mid-shot to focus on Jerry. The use of low key lighting here, in the close up shot, is also complimenting the character's emotions of regret and sorrow, yet, reilief as well.

Meanwhile, the shot cuts away to the heroine to show viewers her presences and  to convey it to convey it to them that he is thinking about her.

The next shot shows enterance of the hero into the house, asking for his wife. Use of long-shot has been done here so that his enterance does not seem very abrupt, meaning, that in the previous shots, close-ups have been used a lot, so, also to break that pattern, use of long shot has been very apropriate here. 

This long shot, however, zooms in to a mid-close up of the character placing emphasis on his facial expressions while he speaks. During this scene, the camera is pannig with character's movement to keep him in focus thorughout. 

Even when the shot cuts away to the heroine, camera movements are the same as with the protagonist; camera panning with the character moving. The change in positioning and camera movement, however, is more visible in the shots of the heroine. As it can be seen, from relevence with the painting behind, the actress is positioned on the left of it at first, and as she moves to the right, camera has also panned with her keeping her in focus at the exact same position as in the first frame. 

In the two screen shots below, use of 180degree rule has been made evident in a mid-long shot.

The camera, in the next shot, keeps zooming in on characters face when he is confessing his feelings to the wife. This much use of close up has been used so that emotions are accentuated and aundiences are able to understand and relate more to the character's position and feelings.

Apart from the camera work, rule of thirds is being followed here as well and the use of soft lighting 

As seen in the few shots above, the camera is slowly zooming in to the character's face; this has been done so that the intensity of the dialogues is increased, so that his facial expressions and gestures can make the audience feel the character's pain. Working out the shots this way engrosses the audiences completely into the film and plays with their emotions as well- what is actually required by the director.
