The movie i picked to do research on was Baby Driver, a recent Thriller movie that was a hit in theaters when it came out only 3 years ago. The movie itself is about a young man working as a getaway driver for a rotating gang of bank robbers and his eventual "escape" from the clutches of his boss. the movie itself is very action heavy, and it uses music and different camera angles to keep the viewers attention.
-The camera is used not as a portal for the viewer to view the events of the movie, but as a tool the director uses to get the most out of his actors and therefore the scene. tracking shots following both the police and baby make every scene nothing short of eye candy. even while there is no driving or action the camera is used to show the emotions and feelings of each character. zooms, tracking shots and extreme close ups are just some examples of the techniques used in this movie.
-the costumes are not as prominent as other movies, but still each article of clothing is used to portray the personality of each of the characters, such as the headphones of the protagonist or the cold personality of the crime lord. the setting is a basic city, the marvel comes from the stunt driving and the thrilling situations the characters are put in.
-Sounds are an extremely important part of this movie. the first 10 minutes are all completely in sync to the music that the protagonist is listening to in his headphones. the main character is partly deaf, so he uses music to get into the "bank robbing mood" the main relationship sprawls from music too. every track has a different feel and plays a massive part of every scene.
-editing is bouncy, thrilling the audience with quick cuts and shot reverse shots.
-the main elements in this genre are action with risk of death to put the audience on the edge of their seats and music to get the veins pumping with Adrenalin.
my final review -
this movie is fantastic. the music works in tandem with the movement and just makes for an overall amazing experience for any moviegoer.
