Kill bill is a fast action straght in your face action, a new style to action film, has a certain meaning but your drawn away from it abit because of the fight scenes and over the top stunts and blood, adds interest and makes the film successful in it's own ways. I like this flim because it is unique in its fight scenes and storyline and and overall point of view.
The overall storyline of Kill Bill — a woman seeks revenge on a group of people, crossing them off a list one by one as she kills them — is adapted from Lady Snowblood, a 1973 Japanese film in which a woman kills off the gang who murdered her family. A unique and an abstarct way to new action and a brilliant opening to over the top action.
The reason why i chosen it for the music point of view is because it doesnt hardly involes the music but from 0.25-0.35 sound effect to show what has happened and is a form of the women seeking revenge after what the villian has done to her, also a sepia mode has been used, the colours tells us about the mood of the chararter thoughts and the close up on the eyes shows how much this character wants to kill her. Also 0.35 till the end of the clip sounds effects such as the glass smashing and the swing of the knife is sharp and intense sound clips to make the stunts more dramatic and powerful which gives an explosive feeling and grabs people attentsion straight away.
The thing i also like about the opening is that the action and build up doesn't stop, its a continous sprial of action and i think the sound effects and music makes the perfect opening to thistype of flim.
Dan, the fight scenes are 'unique' to western cinema but not eastern cinema. This style is also now all pervasive in hollywood.
ReplyDeleteAction editing is one of the most difficult skills to develop due to the speed and clarity needed. Both you and Ian need to create a really tight story board and get your animatic sorted very quickly to ensure that you have the pace and clarity sorted prior to filming proper.
