Silent cinema



Realist 
This movement was about films being based in reality and shot and edited as closely to reality as possible. Director style almost didn't exist. the meaning is created by what is seen and not by the editing and cuts.  the realist films focused on the characters , issues and it would closely link with everyday problems.

Cinema of attraction
This really on the  audience reaction and the immediate experence  rather than any sort of narrative.

City of god: opening

Cinematography and lighting 

  • opening images a of a knife  which give the audience an idea of violence 
  • the first image of lil ze is an uncountable close up of him screaming which make you dislike him straight away.
  • most of the sequence is very tight and claustrophobic  
  • the sequence is shot hand held which makes it much more chaotic 
  • all the shots are very low with only seeing a few shots of the people faces but they are stiff very distorted 
  • everything slows down when rocket is shown is a long shot that lasts more than 2 seconds.
  • not much sky very dark and a lot of shadows are seen with a very grey palette
  • there's a 360 tun with that camera that takes the scene right the sixties where there is a lot more brighter.

editing 
  • very quick editing that immediately  sets the tone for the film
  • kinetic editing
  • as soon as we see rocket the fast editing stops and more traditionally editing  techniques  are used
  • slow motion is used when rocket is see lil ze showing him as a threat.
  • freeze frames are used to give a slight break from the narrative to allow Rocket narration to explain something
  • 360 fade into the past



mise en scene 
  • a lot of the unnecessary shots of guns 
  • lack of sky 
  • dimly lit and when the flash back comes its much brighter
  • knives and guns are used sets the tone of the film
  • bowl of chicken blood also gives an idea of the themes of this film

sound 
  • first sound heard is knife 
  • vibrant Latin pop contrasts the narrative 
  • music stops when you see rocket 
  • the noise of the camera and guns match up in certain parts.
  • mostly diegetic music
Ideology 
  • chicken tries to escape but fails , which foreshadows some character that try to do the same.
  • there is some corruption  shown through the police  
  • themes of violence and revenge are shown
  • in the flash backs you see the older hoods that are much more playful and what they're doing isn't shown to be morally terrible
  • themes of poverty is shown as these characters run through the slums
