Amy descent into addiction scene analysis


Descent into addiction:

cinematography:
-Amy interview while high- close up of unfocused eyes
-still photographs often close ups or extreme close ups- often camera tracking in or along

editing:
-paparazzi cameras flashing- combines with freeze frames and jump cuts - disorientating for spectator
-juxtaposition of moving and still images- often long cuts used to show still images
- director purposefully chooses video of Amy on stage as filmed by an audience member rather than professional footage- makes the sound appear worse and her appearance
-positioned from view of paparazzi- possibly being questioned as to why we are watching it- we are looking at what they produced

sound:
-VO in conjunction with editing
-period of 25 seconds of silence during still images of drugs
-captions and lyrics/locations/times- roots film in fact
