CAMS
- A- The movie features a lot of low and high angles to demonstrate the shift in power and our importance that the Joker feels he has throughout the movie. It also features a lot of close ups to demonstrate the Joker's personality and madness.
- M- A lot of tracking shots and hand held movements throughout the movie that seems to follow the Joker as he lives and descends into madness.
- S- The sound changes alongside the character, going from melancholic and sad, to grand and almost crazy.
- C- The movie takes place during the 70's so all the characters wear clothing of that time period, additionally the Joker also wears his iconic suit.
- L- The lighting is quite melancholic and sad at the beginning, and gradually progresses to be brighter and more grand.
- A- The acting in the movie is also very serious, with Joaquin Phoenix giving a great performance, where he plays a man that goes crazy.
- M- The makeup in the movie is makeup that could be seen in the 70's, and the Joker also wears his clown makeup.
- P- Props seen in the movie are clown costumes, guns, and knives that are used by the Joker and others throughout the movie.
- S- The setting is Gotham City in the 1970's, a fictional city, the movie is shot in multiple places that resemble each other, and create the feeling of being in a city that does not exist.
- The sound in the movie is very varied and serves as a form of storytelling as well. Diegetic sounds are used in the forms of gunshots, and other physical activities in the film. The score also progresses with the Joker, and at the start it is almost sad, like him, and then progresses into madness, so it becomes more grand and crazy.
- Editing in the movie is made to almost emulate movies of the 1970's so it is made without a lot of cuts, and contains scenes with little to no cutting to create the same feeling as movies from the time period.
- The movie features a lot of crime obviously, and depicts a lot of violence and schemes by the characters in the movie for their own personal gain. It also feature angles and movements seen a lot in movies of this genre.
- It is a really great movie with a lot of great aspects to it. It does not rely to heavily on the crime part of the genre, and more on the character of the Joker, and how the people around him shape him up to be the way he ends up being at the end of the movie. I liked that it used common things in the genre to tell a slightly different story than what others in the genre would.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE
- Something that I didn't really like is that in its attempts to demonstrate the fall of the Joker into madness, it sometimes creates a goofy effect that take away from the overall feeling of the movie.
