Wes Anderson is a very well-known and established director in his field. Over the years, Anderson has developed a unique style of film and a basic formula for how each film will look in the end. The film The Grand Budapest Hotel showcases a lot of Anderson quirks from the vibrant colors to the tiny miniatures that he used to show the landscape. The Grand Budapest Hotel is uniquely Wes Andersons and really showcases his style. The film the Grand Budapest Hotel is a recount of the life of a boy named Zero and how he comes to own the Grand Budapest Hotel.

Wes Anderson usually has the same Robert Yeoman and their styles mashed together can be seen throughout this film. Yeoman likes use the same shots and camera movements repeated in Andersons films. The first is the symmetrical item and actor placement that I had already discussed in the previous paragraph. The pan movement is used thought the film. The camera will often be focused on one person then swiftly pan over to another area or character to show different perspectives of the room. For example, Gustave will be deep in thought having a mini monologue first then he will shout a name of another hotel worker. The camera will pan to show the next person on the other side of the room working. The zoom shot is used often in Wes Anderson films as well. The zoom is used in two ways throughout this film. The zoom in is used to show where different characters are in the universe. The shot will start out with just the full hotel shot, then zoom into one of the windows to show what is happening in a specific room. The next way Anderson and Yeoman use the zoom shot in this film is to have a up close shot of a character then zoom out to show more of what is going on in the world. For instance, a character will be talking to another person that is in a car, then the camera will zoom out to show the car driving away leaving the other character behind. The last shot that Wes Anderson uses is the
Wes Moore. The guy that had a lot of obstacles through his life that got him where he is today, but he didn’t do it alone. Just like anyone you need to have a positive influence on your life. It could be anyone teacher, boss, parent, friend. Anyone that drives you to want to succeed and for Wes that was his mother, Joy.
For example, in the opening scene, the camera pans over a desolate landscape to establish the harsh and dangerous environment of the American West. Throughout the film, the camera captures the character’s facial expressions and body language to convey their emotions and motivations, even when they are not speaking. The editing in this western classic is also noteworthy, particularly in its use of montage sequences to create a sense of tension and urgency. For example, the sequence in which the stagecoach is pursued by Apache warriors is edited to convey the chaos and danger of the situation. The use of cross-cutting between the stagecoach and the Apache camp also adds to the suspense and sense of impending

Similarly, the cinematography of Casablanca also strives to shape the viewer’s attention to the time and space of the story. The film employs a handheld movement of the camera in certain instances, to display the mise-en-scene in a genuine manner that emphasizes the setting and time of the movie.

The handheld movement of the camera explores the club in a manner that brings the viewer’s attention to the viewpoint camera. The point of view of the camera, at this point of the movie, demonstrating a human experience of observation, and fixates on investigating war uniforms of characters and their actions.

Forward tracking shots, often from a point of view shot, also suggest a movement from the painting and it implies an intimate moment between the portrait and its spectator.

For instance, Hitchcock purposefully used specific shots to captivate the acting and emotions of each character. In The 39 Steps, Hannay and Pamela (Madeleine Carroll) estranged and juxtaposition relationship, is what saves this film from being more than just suspense but helps add a romance touch to the film. When Hitchcock used wide shots, he captures the Hannay and Pamela’s emotional discomfort. The primary shots that Hitchcock uses in The 39 Steps, are close-ups instead of wide shots. Hitchcock uses close-ups to create suspicion in characters’ faces.
The camera work highlighted the characters’ dialogues and emotion. Another example is the scene where Terry decided to tell Edie the whole truth (1:03:04). Their conversation is drowned by the horn of the steam boat but the viewers can easily know what they were talking about and feeling based on their expressions. Also at the last scene (1:45:00) where Terry was trying his best to walk to the dock the camera shifts from omniscient to Terry’s point of view. He was dizzy and was not seeing things clearly.

The background and everything in frame was focused in the screen shot. This technique is combined with lighting and camera lenses to produce this effect on scene. The scene starts out the movie by showing Charlie playing in the snow outside while Thatcher meets with Charles’s mom to sign guardianship to him inside the house. The mise -en- scene is able to utilize the whole focus of scene and explain the story. An innovation that cinematic technique was developed was the wipe which allows the one image to be moved off screen to another.
There are many different techniques used in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, involving the use of the camera. For example, when the oompa loompas are singing about each naughty child, the scene is shot as a pan or a long shot. By using these techniques, it may show the size of the oompa loompas or their dances to express their emotions together, this attracts the viewers. The use of the camera movements, produces a more interesting effect. Tim Burton knows how to use camera movements to his advantage in all of his films created.
