MOVIE CLIP REFLECTION 2

Movie Clip Reflection

One of the movies that has had many movie enthusiasts glued to their screens is Kong

Skull Island. This movie has many visual effects, especially cinematography and modes of

screen reality, which help in making the film auspicious. Cinematography was used in many

scenes of the movie depicting Kong as being massive creatures, larger than the humans in the

film are. Screen reality in the movie also plays a big role in realigning positioning of the

characters in relation to Kong and all the activities in the movie. This essay outlines the use of

cinematography and screen reality to present a more realistic and captivating movie.

In consideration to cinematography, the movie uses spanning shot in most of the scenes

to enable for visual comparison of the height of Kong to that of the humans (Stump, 2014). The

spanning shot makes the comparison possible by moving the camera steadily from the eyes of

the humans to the height of the creatures. This is utilized at the start of the film when the humans

meet Kong for the first time. The spanning shot was used in combination with the crane shot,

which also helped to map out the visual comparison of the creatures versus the humans (Stump,

2014). The crane shot is used to track the movement of the creatures in comparison to the

helicopter, which helps the viewer to have the best glimpse of the height and capability Kong.

The crane shot is particularly used at the end of the movie during the last fight scene. Over the

shoulder, shots have also been utilized throughout the movie (Stump, 2014). These shots were

mainly used during danger times to peep and view the back, especially when the soldiers were on

expedition when the movie starts. The use of these cinematography techniques helps the viewer

to follow the movie actions as well as positioning of various objects and characters in the scenes.

The use of screen reality in the movie is evident through use of realism. The directors

manage to paint a realistic picture of the existence of Kong in the island (Prince, 2013, p. 326).
