At the start on the
opening scene for blue velvet it turns out to be a happy, peaceful and safe
community were people live in. When it opened it showed a traditional typical
garden showing red roses and a light blue sunny sky and a white picket fence to
show a typical American garden, these colour indicate the colours of the
American flag to give even more knowledge that the film is set in America. Here
is an example of what it looks like in the opening scene:
After this scene it then
goes to show the surroundings of where the film is set, the film is set in the
1950 in America. It shows in the scene a very sunny and happy environment to
show what America is like in the eyes of the audience, furthermore the scene then
finishes and the goes onto showing a close up of yellow flowers witch most of
the time are given at funerals to people have died, meaning it is showing us
that in the start of the film it is going to be both happy and sad.
In the film sound and
music are also used very well also, for example at the start of the whole film
the song “blue velvet” is playing all the way through the intro, this
shows us that the song is being related to the whole film name itself and also
before the whole film even started there was a opening scene that was just all
full of blue velvet to relate to the whole film and the song that is being
played. The song also shows us more evidence that it was shot in the 1950s as
the music genre of the song was what it was like back then.
In the scene where the
women is inside her house watching TV it gives us even more evidence of what
the film is like i know this because the films genre is thriller / horror, and
the women that is watching tv is looking at a show where there is some sort of
character that is playing a certain role using a gun. Therefore showing us what
the whole film maybe about and what is going to happen in future scenes.
When the man is about to have his big heart attack
when he is spraying the lawn you can tell that something intense is going to
happen as the sound of the water foist is building up more and more pressure
leading up to when he has his heart attack. To show that the foist is building
pressure he does pull focus shots on the foist and he also makes the sounds
that it is making become a lot louder.
After the man has had
his heart attack the music goes very creepy and dark to create more an impact
that he has died and to notify the audience what is going on. The camera then
goes and dives down into the grass where the music then goes and spikes up and
introduces sounds of little insects making it even more creepy. The shot itself
is a very dark shot and does not show full focus and you can just see un
focused little bugs moving.
