The movie I chose do an analysis on is Blank Panther. The cinematography of this movie is wonderful and shows so much emotion without the characters having to say a single word. The directors intriguingly put the audience in Blank Panthers shoes, and allowed me to feel like I was going through the journey with him.
A few shots caught my eye but the most detailed and beautiful one in my opinion was the shot when T'challa travels to see his father in the after life.
Establishing shot:
This shot not only shows where T'challa has traveled, but shows the peace and beauty of the after life, where his father resides. Its gives T'challa a sense of reassurance, knowing that his father is at peace.
Another shot, that hold so much emotion without having a single word need to be said, is the scene where T'challa confronts his father for his wrong doings.
Close up shot:
This shot, allows the audience to feel the emotion of T'Chaka and T'Challa in this scene by not only using close up shot, but using shallow focus as well. It directly demands the audience to feel, see and hear the pain in T'challa's voice when he confronts his father about his betrayal. This scene by far, holds and displays the most emotion in my opinion.
Wide Shot:
This complex scene that I have taken from the clip I chose is a perfect demonstration on how the camera shot, angle, and Depth of field creates a certain emotion. This shot establishes a sense of inferiority and power. Whilst using deep focus, the shot demands the attention of the audience, to acknowledge the power and the status of the people in that room.
The zooming out in this scene creates a sense of accomplishment, especially with the context of this scene. It was a victory shot, establishing that killmonger had won and he was the victor. He had control over everyone and wanted evoke fear in his peers an the people bellow him, to let them know that he was king of Wakanda. This shot accurately displays power, and aggression.
