Film Analyzing: Step Brothers (2008)
The director of the film uses variety of methods to draw viewer’s attention on characters. It is notable, that practically in every scene with both of step brothers they appear on the screen together. Thus the director aims to show their emotions underneath their childish masks, point out how deeply interconnected they are and how alike they are.
The background music conveys an atmosphere of the film, which is not dramatic mostly and can be referred to as an “adolescent fun”. The art of sound effects contribute a lot to building general impression about the film, it supports the plot and makes the perception of the film easier for the viewer.
The choice of songs for the soundtrack for the film is very appropriate. Mostly pop and punk songs add to the atmosphere and contribute to the better understanding of the characters. Por ti Volare which was chosen for the most dramatic scene at Catalina Wine Mixer builds tension and represents how the music may affect people’s feelings.
The director uses a long shot of the setting mostly. There are few close ups in the film, they are used to reveal better and more intimately the inner side of the characters, focus the viewer’s attention on the dramatic side of the scene. In some scenes close-ups are combined with shots from a high angle; thus the operator tries to show the scene from the both points of view: to focus on the main characters first and then show the reactions of other characters on them.
Every element of the film contributes to the general impression of it. All of them are valuable; and the director combines variable elements and methods to get an ideal final product of the cinematography – the positive reaction of the audience. Cinema is a vital element of the modern world culture along with literature. Cinema sector has been growing rapidly the latest years; and nowadays people who are searching for a cultural pleasure, an amusement or for an aspiration, often prefer going to cinema house to staying at home with their favorite book.
