Rambo: Lighting and Setting

The setting in Rambo was set in the country Burma during a civil war going on in the country. The lighting in the movie, like Slumdog Millionaire, always had a shade. But contrary to Slumdog Millionaire, the movie had a dark shade to everything. The lighting in the movie was natural, so bright, hot days and dark, cold, rainy nights; the movie being set in a jungle. There were mostly dolly shots, not really many handheld shots; I can't even remember any, that's how few there were.

Slumdog Milliionaire

The film had a interesting plot to it as Jamal, main character, was a contestant of 'Who wants to be a millionaire' as the questions were asked to him he would have an answer, but in a unique way; by having live through it or having some type of relevance of bumping in to it. As the movie progressed it showed how Jamal had been accused of cheating and how he got in the hands of the police.
The film showed lots of the environment of India culturally and some other ways. The slums showed poverty in India or the cars that they used and the places; couldn't tell a indifference with the U.S and there.

Big Fish

The film Big Fish had shown a mixture between fantasy and magic realism; it had to do with the father tell his life, but in the shape of stories. His son didn't believe him at all even though they were all true, to a certain extent; shaping the obstacles that the son and the father went through. As the movie progressed his son had to see for himself that the stories his father told him were true and not a matter of fiction. Well he got his answer and they were true,well parts. In the end he knew his father and how he lived his life and completely forgot his doubts seeing everyone his father had encountered through his life...

We Own the Night:Lighting and Setting

We Own the Night was set in Brooklyn, New York, in Brighton. The lighting in the movie was overall dark; for example, Burt Gruskinsky's funeral, and drug lord's Vadim's assassination. But it also became colorful, like in Bobby's hotel room while playing poker,or being in Bobby's nightclub, which carried a good feeling of careless partying/fun. There were some dolly shots and handheld shots; some handhelds being Bobby going through the tall grasslands trying to find Vadim, where the camera is meant to be from Bobby's eye view point. One unique shot being when Bobby gets a sack put over his head to keep the drug shack anonymous, the camera gets the sack put over it, too, to convey the feeling of not knowing where you're going, a fear, sort of.
