Film research: Fallen Angels (1995)
Director: Kar Wai Wong
Writer: Kar Wai Wong
Cast: Leon Lai, Michelle Reis, Takeshi Kaneshiro
"Fallen Angels" is probably discussing the relationship and the distance between people. In this film, the director has used a lot of close-up shot. General the close up shot is used to express or explain the character’s emotional and thinking, but it does not apply to this film. The director used a close up shot to explain the Indifferent of people.
In Fallen Angels, the character's face or body often occupy most part of the frame and with the use of wide angle lens, the audience can feel the strange and alienated of the characters. Likewise the two shot with wide angle lens have a similar effect – two character in the same scene but seem that they have no relationship at all. With the camera shake, mysterious lighting and background music, this film truly show the post-modem’s psychedelic feeling.
Film deconstruction:
Two shot/close up with a strange angle, cannot see the emotion of the character, but with the Black and white colour and juxtaposition to explain their relationship.
High angle shot with wide-angle lens to show the scene.
The lighting with the colour of the scene make a special effect.
Over shoulder shot with camera shake and fast walking – allow the audience to feel that the character is in hurry.
Shot through a window or door – make the audience as an observer and stalking the character.
Use the mirror to reflect the scene and character with motion. Different light source to show the different between her inner world and outside world.
Use juxtaposition to show the different between two worlds.
Wide angle close up on the face of the character to know she don’t care what happen beside herself.
She communicate people only when she needed, wide angle Medium close up in a corridor with juxtaposition.
Use mirror to reflect his loneliest (no one sit on the bus beside him).
Camera panning from different object.
Use camera angle to reflect the distance between people.
Use music and action to show her sadness.
No facial expression, but use colour tone, music and camera angle to show her emotion.
Use position and action to show the distance between people.

Introduction – Aim at beginning.
Use abstract image – puzzle for viewer.
When traffic pass the frame, viewer realized what it is on the screen.
From a quiet (no sound) environment, suddenly noise – it is disturbing but attractive.
And the lady sit next to the road, she is so quiet and enjoy herself – means she get used to this environment.
She is doing something have no relation with the scene, the viewer will keep asking: why?
But all of her action are related.
Again, different angle, next to the road, maybe it is no different inside or outside a house.
Rule of third and line across the scene.
Medium shoot show that she is alone.
And use action to tell that she is alone.
She sit peacefully in a noisily/bad environment, it is to reflect that the viewer are doing the same thing.

PAINT THE SKY WITH STARS by Jordan Saunders can be found in:
Use a quote to give hint.
Starting with sky (abstract element) to interest viewer.
Put the character in the rule of third position, but with no other object on the frame, only a bright light to the face of character, so the viewer can focus on her face.
Then zoom out to the scene so that the viewer can see where she is but understand she is the main subject in the scene.
Use light and black and white colour to create a strange/horror atmosphere.
Timescale with no movement of the actor to explain she is “different” with others.
Slow shaking motion – she is in a bus.
Reflection from moving water – something interfering her.
Use still image to transparencies the character.
Use different people to wear mask to show she is not the only one, but she is the only one step forward.
Use costume to show the difference.
When she take the mask off, frame become colour – it is Semiotics.
