I've talked about it before but the use of Spaghetti Western shots primarily on Izzy in season one and then with the eye closeup on Kraken-era Blackbeard is such a loud choice.

These type of shots are used during standoffs and with the "bad guys."

Izzy, Fang, and Ivan's introduction: How in every shot Izzy is in front, with the duo flanking him. How the camera zoom in and plays western music. The choice of their dark clothing versus Stede and co's light clothing.

How Izzy talks like a Shakespearean villain, immediately drawing you in, while Stede fumbles his way to beating Izzy (not for the first time) and we see just how much Stede's crew is out of their depth in the classic pirate sense, yet in their own way perfectly adequate. And this and the combination of Izzy's lies to Ed just fuel Ed's obsession of Stede.

The shot through Stede's legs when they start their fuckery, get their men back, also reveals the power dynamic, the trio still in the villain shot and Stede in the hero one. We already know just from this dynamic that Stede is going to win.

The closeup in Kraken-era Blackbeard. He is just going through the motions, it's just another Tuesday, another raid. And we see how dead his eyes are; how devoid of life they were in the past. Instead, as he states during this scene, he's the devil; he's full on embracing the picture of himself in Ed's book with nine guns and even using the term "devil pyrate." The standoff is between him and himself, while being framed as the wedding they attack.

I am obsessed that only Izzy and Kraken-era Blackbeard are shot this way. Cause it shows and tells you exactly how you are supposed to feel about them using old camerawork techniques and cues.

Will takes up more space in Mike's mind when he takes up more space in the shot, and would you look at that...

Before "the heart":

After:

As Mike turns initially the camera actually even pans with Mike and goes off of Will and is a closer shot, so they had a fine transition out of that interaction there, but when it cuts back it's in a wider angle and Will is back in the shot.

#byler cinematography #ily speech #stranger things #i will never shut up bc i think i'm so fucking funny: #“no WE love you” #shoutout forever to that one person who said will was rubbing his back and calling him petnames i think of u every time #bc it's not even that much of an exaggeration his hand was on his back and he called him “heart” #byler #mike wheeler #povs

my favorite instances of diegetic sound effects being used for non-diegetic purposes in Hot Fuzz

#the well-timed cash register sound is used multiple other times in the film but this is my favorite instance of it #since it communicates danny's piqued interest so well #the effect of the tape rewinding sounds is so subtle but it's sososososo cool once you notice it #the arcade sound effects are the most obvious but the way they travel with the camera makes my brain feel so good each time i see that scene #hot fuzz #edgar wright #i love cinematography #simon pegg #nick frost #the cornetto trilogy #cornetto trilogy #running my mouth #made this with my hands

the emerald pin in velvet goldmine (1998) 

#velvet goldmine #film #listen i would apologize for posting about this film so much but i cant. bc it means so much to me #obviously the sisterhood of the travelling green pin tells a whole other story within the story of this film #and it's a fascinating one at that #because -- from what we know -- brian is the only one who STEALS it #reaps the benefits (and the tragedies) of something beautiful that was never meant to be his #and the HANDS #it's immeasurably important to me that jack fairy picks up this pin with his DIRTY hands - and makes it something his #and then the next time we see it - it's in arthur's beer-soaked (dirty - still - but in a different way) hands #ready for something new and bright and beautiful under arthur's care #SCREAMS #anyways #wonderful cinematography #i love this movie #if i haven't made that clear
