Gamme of Throne- Extract Essay

The author’s vision for the film was to have the audience feel like they’re in an adventure and a fantasy. There is a kingdom and a long conversation about knights and ships. Throughout the long conversation the actors introduced themselves as kings. Pirates were also mentioned throughout the conversation. There is also footage of people on ships which shows that they are going on an adventure somewhere.

Scene one included many angles. The high angle of the ship and eventually showing the statue along with a view of the whole town shows the kingdom that they are about to enter. The establishing shot shows the whole scene it shows how the kingdom looks and a view of the knight statue that is on the rocks. There was no editing in the first scene. The sound used was non diegetic and diegetic. The diegetic was used when the music was playing in the background it was like a mysterious sound that helped enhance the film and drag the audience attention to the screen and believe something mysterious was about to come and lead them onto an adventure. There was non- diegetic sound as well it was used for the birds that were flying over the ship this added life to the movie so it can feel real like how a fantasy should. The mis en scene included a ship as a prop this ship looks like one from a long time ago maybe even something a pirate would be on it shows that they are going somewhere maybe on an adventure. There was also the setting it took place in a kingdom. Kingdoms are for royalty so it helped increase the idea of the audience being in a fantasy.

For scene 2 there was a three-person shot which included a king this showed that they were in some type of kingdom because what’s a kingdom without its king. There was also a point of view shot of when the actors were looking at the king it showed that they were taking the king serious because they were in his kingdom. For editing there was shot reverse shot it flipped back and forth from actor to actor when having a conversation about the kingdom this showed the facial expressions of the kings when talking in which they looked upset which makes the audience believe something is about to happen and lead to an adventure. The sound used was dialogue the dialogue was used when having conversation, they talked about the different kings in the kingdom, the queen, and the ships. The costumes that were worn were long suits which was something royalty would wear. The prop was a long table with large chairs this was used for the actors to sit at and have conversation this showed that they had to be royalty because kings usually sit in the large chairs when at a table.

I’m right on what the director vision is because of the all the proof provided in the scenes. From the kingdom, to the ship, and to the whole conversation that happened in the film. They all provided back up for my reasoning of why I believe the director wants the audience to feel like they’re in an adventure and a fantasy.
