Fellowship on the ring

Fellowship on the ring

First shot we see is a wide shot, with the Hobbits underneath the tree looking isolated scared and lonely this effect comes across because they take up a small space so the is a lot of space around them so we are just waiting for something else to come into shot. The director has made that happen so the audience can began to feel the tension build up. In the next shot you see the Ring Waith appear at the top of the picture. So now In the shot you can see all four Hobbits and the Ring Waith. This is telling the audience that some bad is going to happen.

The next shot is a medium close up (MCU) on Frodo. You can tell by his face that is feeling very nervous and afraid. As the audience you can tell that Frodo is very scared because he takes up the hole shot. This makes him look isolated and it makes it look like he has absolutely no where to go and if the Ring Waith gets of is horse that all of the Hobbits are in great danger.

In this particular shot you can only see Frodo and a branch just covering the top of his head also it is an extreme close up (ECU). You can only see his eyes and his nose. This really does show how scared he actually is. Also he is in a very tight place so once again the director has made the audience feel like Frodo has literally know where to go or something really bad is going to happen to him an the other Hobbits.

The next shot is a cut in of the hoof smacking down of the floor the other one is the Ring Wraiths foot and the horse’s mouth with all this armour on it. All these little shots represent power and control the reason is because both the Ring Waith and his horse are very loud and the Hobbits are feeling very vulnerable because they are both capable of hurting the Hobbits.

           

The next shot is a low angle shot this is because the camera is starting low and looking up at the Ring Waith witch makes him look huge and makes the Hobbits look extremely small. Also because the Ring Waith covers most of the shot the Hobbits also look like they have know where to move at all and they look very trapped and all the space around them has been covered by the Ring Waith. At this point the scene is very tense due to the fact the director has made the audience feel like anything could happen to the Hobbits at any moment.  

The next shot is a high angle shot this is because the camera is in a high position and filming down. In the shot is has the Ring Wraith’s hand on the branch and Frodo’s face. When the Ring Waith places is hand on the branch all the insects that live in that particular tree all leave this shows the power and control he has because the insects that leave are spiders witch in real life humans are normally scared of them. So for someone to scar of spiders prove that he is a very powerful person.
