kill bill vol. 2

In the first shot we see of the scene the camera is tracking backwards from a medium close up of a the bride in a church, the medium close up is used to show the emotion that she is feeling. This was created to start off by setting the scene and show that where the scene was and who the scene was based around. In the second shot we see a point of view shot from the bride looking out to a doorway with doors open and bright lighting coming in from outside the doors. The character looking shows the audience where they are walking to and where they are going, this is a way to set the scene and create curiousness towards the audience as it makes them also want to know what is out there. In the third shot, which is a reaction shot, we see the bride reacting to a pipe being played.  

In the fourth shot we see the door way with the woman exiting it. Using mid-shot and the rule of thirds. This is shot is important as it shows us where she is going. In the Fifth shot we see a Bill sitting outside playing a pipe with bride in the out of focus staring out away from him. This is shown using a low angle with a close -up of Bill and a long shot of the bride in the background. In shot six we see an eye-level, close-up of the bride’s face looking at Bill. This shows bride’s reaction to him being there. Furthermore, shows a clear representation to the audience that they both know each other and have a past.

In the seventh shot we see a close up, high angle, of Bill playing the pipe looking away from the bride. Again, showing they have a past. There is a series of reverse shots between shots six and seven this is to build tension and make it clear to the audience that this is an uncomfortable situation because they feel awkward and uncomfortable. In the eighth shot we see the bride leaning away with her back towards the man again. This shot is a medium shot and the bride is on the left side of the shot. However, on the right hand side the shot is empty. This is known as negative space. This was put in the shot for a reason to show that the relationship between the two characters is negative and is also a contrast to their relationship as it isn’t empty and they once had something there. In the ninth shot we see the brides face side on as the camera tracks her in moving closer to bill.

Reviews: Empire-An initially captivating but finally trying attempt at resuscitating the glory-glory days of the ’70s by a talented director who needs to find his own voice.
Common Sense Media-Parents need to know that Ain't Them Bodies Saints is a stylized, atmospheric indie drama that's part Western, part relationship drama. Chronicling the intense romance between an outlaw and his bride, the movie has been compared to both Bonnie and Clyde and Badlands, and you can expect a fair amount of gun violence and on-screen death.

UK Production: David Brent: Life on the Road

David Brent: Life on the Road

Budget: Can't find 
Genre: Comedy
Stars: Ricky Gervais, Doc Brown, Rob Jarvis, Abbie Murphy
Box Office: $5,511,343
Production company: BBC Films, Entertainment one.
Certificate: 15. Restricting the audience. Already has a fan base as it was a TV show before a film (spinoff).
Marketing: Three posters, two tag lines "The Boss is back" and "I'm a friend first, boss second, probably an entertainer third." Clips of the film and adverts were put on social media to try and get a younger audience as well as the pre-existing audience. The clips that were put online were of jokes to give a taste of what is in the film.




Release date: 19th August 2016. Holidays, lots of people could be gone to see this but as it is rated a 15 it restricted the audience to either older families or older fans of the show.  
Reviews: The Guardian-At its worst – some weak gags about fat people, a couple of moments where Brent’s too stupid for his back story – it’s small, shabby and outdated.
Empire-David Brent has experienced all manner of humiliations – accidentally headbutting a potential secretary, getting fired on camera, the grunting majesty of The Dance – but as he wanders through this fitfully funny big screen resurrection you feel sorry for him for an entirely new reason. Slough’s premier chilled-out entertainer has been denied his perfect ending.
Variety-Should have no trouble connecting with the original show's sizable fanbase.
Reviews are mostly negative towards this film, but the film sill got $5 million in profits. This may be because Ricky Gervais is a well known comedian, there were songs that helped promote the film, and the original tv series fan base would want to see it as they watched the show.
