Now I know all the rules and techniques listed below, I have begun to notice them in other films. For example, director Catherine Hardwicke uses colour and saturation in her films to convey a certain feel- probably most noticeable in the blue tones of ‘Twilight’ but also the colourful ‘SoCal’ lomo styling of ‘Lords of Dogtown’.
I have also noticed how many directors break these rules for effect. Scorsese’s ‘Shutter Island’ is uncomfortable to watch as scenes are disjointed and jump from angle to angle which in this case keeps the audience on their toes and infiltrates their minds to create a powerful intense psychological thriller that really involves the viewer.
From this, I have learnt that once you know the conventions there is flexibility to break them!
