Pillowfight
Scott Rice (2006)
ANALYSIS
The camera mainly adheres to close ups and mid-shots in order to establish the connection between the couple. There is also an inclusion of a high angled long shot in order to let the audience settle into the environment. The sound is mostly diegetic, the sounds consist of; snoring, rustling and dialogue. In order to maintain the verisimilitude of the text, non diegetic sounds of crickets are included. The editing throughout the piece is steady and also matches on action, eg when she whack him across the face the first time. Also, the shot-reverse-shot between the two characters established the connection within their relationship. The mise en scene is predominantly a dark room with the focal light on the couple in order to make them the centre of attention. The colour that is most prominent is blue. Blue provides connotations of peace, however, this is juxtaposed by the actions in the film, which shows a rather disturbed man and an annoying woman.
I found this piece to be quite funny as the awkward sounds and the annoying snoring served their purpose in providing entertainment.
