02.5 preSequence

I watch the movie 4. It’s a brilliant movie, the beginning of the movie and the connection of cartoon is amazing.

At the beginning, the scene of the movie is a strange iron face. Firstly I was questioned what is this but I realize is the pendulum of clock. The shaking of this make me think what happened next.

The scene move on, I can  see the clock shape. It also looks strange. The decoration of the clock is monster. Also, the background of it is black. The shadow of the clock is deep too. The color of it make me feel down. In the article “Time Design” said that use clock for a symbol is important. Because, clock make audience begin to think there might have something happened in the past or related with future but not now.

I like this part very much. The shot changed by go through the monster’s mouth. The shot change is very smooth and I watch it very comfortable. Instead the white shot change or fade out. The best way is like that change into something or break down something.

Then, the movie use high speed crowd to connect with the time topic as the beginning of the movie. The dark color of the scene and high speed crow with quiet or stopped “someone” make a lonely atmosphere. Make audience focusing on the narrator and the stopped individuals.

Also, it’s my favorite part. A police kick out the football after he mentioned the ball topic. The change of shot is very smooth and It’s fantastic to have the title of the movie. I was thinking that’s good enough but after this it’s surprised me.

The ball kicked into the “O” which seems like a swimming pool. The reality changed to the cartoon. I really like that the girl break down the subtitle. I like the carton style. It also use the dark color so it’s not abrupt. The girl run to the end I saw the clock. It also connected with the time topic.

The author of the movie use the time and graphic relationship very well. The shot of change use go through and break down. It’s more interesting to use in that way. Also, the reality change to carton and changed back to the reality movie is a interesting part. I wondering know what happened next and the story of movie. The reason for that might be the adventure of the main character is kind contains the fiction element therefore author use the carton style to insert it.
