Peer observation of Auteur presentation

Director: Steven Spielberg Observed by: Tate    What did my peer learn about my director: my peer learned that Steven Spielberg directed many differing films such as war horse, saving private Ryan and Ready Player One. He also learned that Spielberg used a lot of themes such as daddy issues/ broken nuclear family, the use of lights to create mystery and that her used Composer John Williams to compose the film scores. My peer also learned that Spielberg didn’t get along well with his father and there are shots such as the Spielberg face and POV shots used.

Prisoners Review

        The establishing shot of the clip is of a car and a what seems to be a café. The only source of light is from the café, creating a sense of hope for the audience. This shot is only short, probably suggesting that the stay of the owner of the car is a short one, creating an atmosphere of busyness. However this sense of busyness is quickly overshadowed by the slow zoom of the camera towards to what seems to be the protagonist. This quick change in mood could signal a sense of instability.
