2. EDITING
The movie starts with a sing gene that is divided into two, this is made by computer and it
is digitalized, and the graphics are made on the computer. Then, there is a flying cam shot
above the trees that moves further down through the trees. The genes appear after each
person's name. Then the movie title "lucy" comes up. A close up shot of a monkey appears
washing itself and drinking the water. There is a wide shot used to make everything fit in
the scene, this is known as mis-en-scene. A male character talks about visiting a museum
and he finds out that the monkeys first name was lucy. Then, there is an extreme clos up
of the monkey's eyes, then a head shot of the monkey and a medium close up of the
monkey is used.
A headshot was used to show the facial expressions and emotions from the characters.
The movie lucy has a lot of colour, to show the creation of life and the nature of the film.
An over the shoulder shot is used in the middle of the movie to show the other characters
point of view. The use of scratch and claw shows the violence that is used throughout the
movie. There is dramatic sound effects used in this movie.
I think that the quality of the film is amazing, because the film was made in the 21st
centaury. It was released on the 22nd August 2014. If you bought the film on YouTube,
3. A longshot has been used so that you can see the length and
width of the monkey, the background too and the animal's
behavior. This shot is edited to make the monkey look like it
did over a million years ago, before humans existed or any
other animal came around. A lot of medium close ups are
used throughout the film to show the characters body
language and how they are talking to the audience. When
lucy is focusing, looking straight ahead, a follow tracking
shot and a zoom shot is used, because the camera gets close
to her face. On a virtual camera it moves straight from the
top of the sky looking down to earth and it zooms all the way
down into earths atmosphere infront of lucy. Then an axis
rolling shot that goes around lucy makes the earth look like
its spinning through time and there is just lucy there in the
moment. This gives a dramatic effect on the audience and
makes them question life and existance on earth.
