This Aerial shot is used in a film called the
Hobbit an unexpected journey. The director
of this film has used this certain shot to
show how powerful the dwarfen army is,
because of the size of their empire which
they call home. This aerial shot also shows
us that the mountain that the dwarfs lived
in was well structured, so the mountain
could be described as indestructible and
that it could survey any attack by any
deadly enemies.
This shot used in the Hobbit an unexpected
journey can be told in two ways which are a
close up shot and Iconography. They have
used these two shots to express that this
sword is an important part in the film
because Bilbo has been hiding this treasure
for quite some time about his journey. In my
opinion the director has put a good amount
of iconography in this film because the
object is shown many times throughout this
film to show this is an important object that
is expressed throughout this film. By using
this close up shot as well as iconography we
can see that this object stands out to all of

the other items in this chest because it is
placed at the top and the largest object in
the chest.
Another shot used in the Hobbit an
unexpected journey is a panning shot. By
using this panning shot it is allowing us to
get a good view of the king’s fortress and
home town guarded by the great dwarfen
knight’s. The director has used this panning
shot to show how large and powerful there
home town was until it was attacked.
The director has also used this panning shot
to show the early morning setting in the
town Erobor. Within the cinematography,
panning shot it is showing how peaceful the
town is.
Visual Effects &
Colour Scheme
The colour scheme used in The hobbit an
unexpected journey is quite a mixed theme
because at the start of the opening title
sequence it starts off in a dark room until he
lights his candle, which is a use of back
lighting in the film The Hobbit. But as we
get further into the opening sequence we
start to see an early morning setting as it
pan’s around the dwarfen home town, but
we only see the early morning setting when

he has a flashback of his past on how
peaceful and powerful the dwarfen army
was.
Genre
Conventions
The Hobbit an unexpected journey genre, is
an action and adventure genre because
throughout this we see quite large amounts
of action take place and it involves quite a
lot of adventure because he goes to the
other side of country from The shrine to
Erobor to try and claim back the dwarfen
home land.
Narrative
The story line of the Hobbit an unexpected
journey is about an old dwarf, Bilbo Baggins
who is telling his grandson about his past
and what happened back then if it was
major fights that have taken place between
many people, which involved many deaths.
While Bilbo Baggins is talking about his past
he has many Flashbacks so we can see what
happened back then / all the action and
mysterious places such as the elven
kingdom which is well designed by the
director.

look a lot better while watching the film by
doing this it makes the audience feel like
something is real on the screen for example
the Arkenstone.
Title Credit
Design
As you can see on the write this is the title credit
design that they have used because they are
make there title credits look olden because The
Hobbit was set a long time ago and they did
write in a different format so they have tried to
include that as well as the olden feature, So
people might believe that this format is true
and was used once before so the director has
done a good use of title credits.
