I am analysing the film Submarine (2010).
PURPOSE & GENRE
I interpreted that the purpose of this film is
to entertain through the use of comedy
Of the hybrid-genre, which means a mix of
two or more genres. This film is a coming-of-age comedy-drama. "All genres
have sub genres" - Barry Keith Grant (1995), this theory supports this film,
as it is not just a comedy or just a drama. Also this film educates its
audience by showing them the daily lives of someone who is living in the 1980's
as it relates to history and the events unfolding in the 1980's.
FORM
The form of this media product is a film; the
running time of this film is one hour and thirty-seven minuets. Previously
it was a book that came out on hard cover in 2008. Also this is a feature
length film, and this means it was made to be successful and aimed at a mass
audience.
STYLE
The style of this film is one that is set in
history, and therefore is a costume drama with senses of nostalgic views in it.
I have identified this from the film as in the scene where Oliver
CONTENT
I will now be talking about the content
The narrative we see it is about the
fifteen-year-old boy called Oliver Tate, a boy with big
ambitions, who ends up 'head of heels' for that special girl, set in
the 1980's in Swansea.
Also in this film trailer we see that binary
opposition is demonstrated throughout, as it means that there are opposites,
for example in this film it is about a boy and a girl, and this theory was thought of
by Levi-Strauss in 1958. Tomorrow 1977 stated that there is a beginning middle and
an ending, and this is correct as it is easily interpreted during the film.
I have analysed that the narrative structures used from Kate Dailies
theory is the 'chillies' and this means that the fatal flaw that leads to the
destruction of the flawless or previously flawless person as we see this
connoted because throughout the film Oliver Tate constantly faces issues that
bring on his downfall,
We see the main locations in this film are in
the Tate household and also at the school, which seem, as they are to be in the
Wales. The iconography here is connoted by the 'lush' rolling hills and
scenery. These once again demonstrate verisimilitude as they are not very
surreal location and they are classed as 'normal' as they are in most peoples
every day life.
Throughout this film many of the gestures are
quite minimal and not meant to mean anything as their is nothing out of the
ordinary even when Oliver Tats parents are arguing they still keep calm
postures when it is clear to the audience that they are both on edge. This is
connoted by their conversations they are divulging in and their body
language.
Costume and makeup, the costume and makeup is
not very extravagant in this film whatsoever as it is has a high level of
verisimilitude and also the film is a social realism film which
is meaning there is lots of aspects of day to day life that make
everything very interesting and complex. This is connoting their simple life
that they life as they are in a reasonably medium sized village that is very
run down as it seems because it was set in the 80's.
The lighting used in this film is seen to be
widely very low and natural as this connotes the loneliness and sadness of the
main character Oliver as his home life and romantic endeavours are not to be
seen as successful. (Get timing of sat in kitchen when dads lost job) (Connotes)(Production
process)
Throughout this film and trailer, many props are
used; fireworks are denoted which connotes the excitement and surreal-ness of their
new relationship. Also we see that many 'love notes' are used as props, as more
than often verisimilitude is demonstrated throughout.
CAMERA WORK
Wide angle medium shot, this is where
at 0:15 of the Submarine trailer Oliver is seen to be standing staring at
the sea and the and we know this is wide angle because it shows a large amount
of what he would be seeing excluding his peripheral vision. We also see a close
up of the back of Oliver’s head in the trailer, which is trying to make the
audience focus on more than just the footage as the narrative is quite
important. Also we see an over the shoulder shot which once again gives us an
idea of what Oliver is seeing and feeling whilst denoting the obvious. Also we
see at 0:24 demonstrated was a medium shot which is connoting the emotion shown
on the characters face.
EDITING
Shot reverse shot - editing technique which is
meant to appear invisible, amount of effort that has gone into cutting it,
meant to represent verisimilitude to appear real and natural. This is connoted
in the film as where Jordan and Oliver are walking down the hall when they are
in school linked with their eyesight even though there is no conversation there
is a narrative over the clip.
Eye line match, we see this demonstrated as
Oliver and Jordan are having an 'intense' conversation under the bridge that
leads to further romance in there relationship to the advantage of Jordan as
she get to carry out the 'revenge' on her cheating ex-boyfriend.
SOUND
Understanding the differences between diegetic and non-diegetic sound depends on the understanding of the conventions of the film/music video.
Throughout the whole film trailer, non-diegetic
sound is demonstrated by a voice over connoting and denoting as the video goes
on and also the sound track behind when the scenes are being narrated. Diegetic
sound is the voices of characters and we can see this all the way throughout
the film and trailer also their are many ambient sounds that fit into the
diegetic sound section. Also diegetic sound is also things like the fireworks
or in another trailer it could be a gunshot.
