Zodiac (2007) – Interview scene

This scene had some incredible shots.

 

If i was the one directing this scene i think i would have treated the Zodiac killer (the person on the phone) like HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey. He’s just a voice without a face and hes our ominous, menacing antagonist of the film. I would have tried to focus in on the monitor, the one Melvin Belli is talking and staring into, and tried to convince the audience this was him. Maybe i’d show off the red tint of the recording light to set the mood. The color red is often used as a technique to set the tone of the shot.

Pulp Fiction (1994) B&W

Pulp Fiction is considered to be Neo-noir so i decided to see what it would look like in black and white. Neo-noir doesn’t mean they had black and white in mind while filming, I just thought it would be interesting to see.

Seven (1995)

You don’t know who the man is, but you know he’s dangerous. So, the shot focuses on the gun.

The Big Lebowski (1998)

The dude enters the frame and looks over at a Time magazine cover in the form of a mirror. Framing his face perfectly as if he was on the cover. “Man of the Year”
