Quest for fire
In “Quest for Fire” by Jean-Jacques Annaud there are lots of technical features used but the ones I will be covering are low angle shot, panning and music these features show the aspect of survival.
One of the features used is the low angle shot this camera shot is when the camera is closer to ground level and looking up at something J-J Annaud uses it when the mammoths are standing there threatening the ulams. Using this feature makes the mammoths look big and scary, especially to the ulams.
The second feature used is panning this feature is when the camera is stationary and it slowly swivels round giving a view of a wide area. In this movie J-J Annaud uses the pan shot on a baron empty landscape at the end of the movie after the scene when Ika and Naoh are sitting down looking at the moon, ika is pregnant I think they use that shot after that scene because it shows that it is the start of civilization.
The last feature is music J-J Annaud uses this feature throughout the movie it is especially helpful in this movie because there is no words used the music helps set the scene. An example of this is when Naoh is in the cave watching the human make fire this is a new sight to him and J-J helps the viewer understand that by the way he uses music in this scene the music is building up to the moment when the fire starts it is very dramatic music.
Overall I think J-J Annaud uses technical features extremely well in this movie it really helps the viewer’s understand the movie more and feel more realistic.
