Ludwig 1,120 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 @Batman's Diet Coke Your first shot above reminds me what a master Spielberg is with bluish-white backlighting effects that create a dramatic aura of otherworldliness around the figures. There are so many examples of this, but Jaws is a great one: It really emphasizes the idea of the "mysterious depths" while also carving out the figure as the target of a monster's meal. Another really impactful one is in Close Encounters: It's like a reverse spotlight on the characters, highlighting them while still preserving some of their mystery by keeping their fronts largely in darkness. Then of course, there's this fantastic one from E.T.: Again, it highlights an alien while retaining its mystery, but the thing I really love about this shot is that E.T. visually emerges from a place that is so brightly lit as to seem unreal and almost based in the imagination. There are a few other similar visual cues in the film - when Elliot is looking out the kitchen window, the steam from the hot running water rising up in front of his face like thought bubbles through which he hopes to see his alien. Then of course, there's the finale, when E.T. says "I'll be right here", pointing to Elliot's head, not only suggesting the obvious thing, that Elliot will always remember E.T., but also that E.T. is figuratively a creation of the childhood mind, an "imaginary" friend of sorts. So the backlighting in the above shot helps introduce the character in this sort of way. Great stuff. John and Gruesome Son of a Bitch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnome in Plaid 219 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 All the time-lapse shots in House of Sand and Fog are marvelous, but it'd be hard to distill those in to a screenshot, but this brief shot is mixed in, and really capitalizes on the mood and setting. Leave it to Roger Deakins to make the glare off a windshield beautiful. What even is this, you ask? Looking vertically at the sun through snow starting to cover a skylight. Really, all of The Fountain is stunning, but something about this shot has always stood out to me. On 4/27/2018 at 5:05 AM, Chen G. said: Not if the film they like is generally badly recieved. Try defending Kingdom of the Crystal Skull or Attack of the Clones.... The last five minutes or so of Attack of the Clones are great! It's the best musical finale of the entire series.

A good score has at least two good themes to play off of one another. Attack of the Clones really only has Across the Stars, which it has to flog throughout the entire (and all too sizable!) runtime.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 @Gnome in Plaid The Fountain is one of the first films I tried to scavenge shots from for this thread, but couldn't find any of the ones I was thinking of.

Well, yeah, but there is the new Kenobi/Jedi motif, the Conspiracy motif (even if it is based off of ATS), Kamino theme, the mystery motif....

Chen G. 3,950 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 There are other motives to be sure (although I'm not certain what the "Jedi motif" is supposed to be), but I'm talking about a memorable theme. Not a little arpeggio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faleel 5,359 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 It's a fanfarish motive that plays in Yoda and the Younglings, and Shmi's Funeral (For Kenobi checking in with the council/Anakin) and possibly other places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chen G. 3,950 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I see. I doubt that was intended to be thematic, though, regardless of the recurring nature of the gesture. Lehman classifies it an "incidental" motif. In John Takis breakdown of the score, he calls the first instance you mention an "eight-note horn figure" so clearly he doesn't think much about it, either.
