Film



                Art Film
The establishing shot at the beginning of the Kings Speech is outside the Palace on a dreary day then immediately a man ( King Geoge VI) attempting to give a speech . It made me automatically interested in what was the outcome was going to be.
There was a lot different camera angles shot during this movie.  They did a lot of low and high angle shots.

The story line was to see if with help  King George could overcome his stammer  to have normal conversation and to most importantly make speeches.  The scenes that drew me in is when King George would get upset and frustrated with himself. Scenes that made me uncomfortable were ones that he wanted to say so much but couldn’t speak at all.    
Each role in this film was unbelievable. I waited until the end of the month just to view this particular film, because all the reviews were great. I saw firsthand how each actor portrayed each role flawlessly.  The King was both confident but yet unsure. Colin Firth portrayed the King as an actual human being with feeling.  It was without doubt one of the best movies I have ever seen.

Every morning I walk into my cold kitchen. I reach into the colder fridge and grab the coldest milk. Then I reach to the for the lowest shelf for my favorite cereal.  As I pour the coldest milk into my dry, crunchy , fabulous cereal it begins to  toss and turn together and make the coldest milk turn the boldest color.

"Nessum Dorma "


When listening to the song in the last class I thought of two things,happiness and sadness. I couldn't decide which one the song made me feel. I started of coloring with blue, then I decided it made me happy, so I started to color with all the colors I picked up.

The importance of an establishing shot is to give an idea about where, and what kind of movie it will be.  It gives the viewers an idea what the mood of the film will be. I believe the establishing shot is very important because it gives the audience a brief view of what they are about to see.
