Amy – Park Scene Notes

  • bittersweet: park, sunnyAmy’s happy, V/O, paparazzi, Kn Burns

 

Cinematography:

  • static image
  • long lens (Paparazzi) – being spied on. They’re not friends taking a picture, strangers, exploiting a celebrity
  • high key lighting
  • didn’t know the pictures were being taken (contrasting to the homeless person pictures)
  • paparazzi vs phone (homeless) – people may have already seen these images

 

Mise en Scene:

  • edited interview?
  • Ken Burns – a long shot of Amy – lingers for a long time, forcing us to look at and possibly judge what she is wearing, judgmental, paired with V/O, or is it reminiscent of and criticising how the paparazzi treated her

 

Sound:

  • non-diegetic music – being guided
  • V/O childhood – dad leaving her mum, the man’s childhood possibly edited together with sex V/O
  • V/O with a long shot of her body discussing her promiscuous behavior
  • V/O – self-destructive people
  • V/O – in love with Blake – paired with images of love hearts next to Blake’s name that she has drawn
  • comparison to Blake earlier – not dramatized, monotone, detached – V/O about how they liked to self-sabotage over ken Burns body – not eating enough?

 

Moore:

  • guided viewing experience
  • Moore wouldn’t judge Amy, he would criticize the media but possibly using similar technical codes

 

Digital Debate:

  • drone footage
