Hot fuzz word
- 1. Phoebe Rajput Media Mise En Scene The movie hot fuzz is based in a small town where he has been transferred to from the head police offices London. The costumes used are the typical police uniforms including the hat and the brightly coloured jacket, and for the village people they are dressed in everyday clothes. This may be because film is based in and ordinary town so the costumes are to show that everybody is normal, which makes it harder for the audience to point out who the killer could be. It is easy to see that the film is set in the 21st century, straight away from the opening of the movie you can see him entering the modernly built building and a policeman’s professional working environment. Cinematography The lighting in this film is dark with a hint of blue that is typical for many action films. You then get to see a montage of his hardship working as a top policeman so the audience gets a sense of how professional and serious he is. The camera is constantly in motion creating a sense of pace and action which is very important for the opening scene of the movie because it excites the viewers. There also is a strong use of shadows which creates a gritty effect leaving it with a modern atmosphere, suiting the thriller, action, comedy theme. Sound Along with non-diegetic voiceover of Nicolas Angel, the non-diegetic music starts with a heavy rhythmical drum beat, and this carries on until we enter the scene of Angel at the College of Police Training when it builds a bit more. We hear the short sound of a whistle being blown (perhaps as a subtle representation of the school-like discipline in the Police training) and then some sort of stringed instrument repeating the same short tune. When cutting into the action-packed scene, as we see the squad running through the punch bags and then trudging through an urban area where bombs are being thrown, we hear the sound of heavy footsteps and men shouting, creating a highly chaotic atmosphere. Editing The sirens gradually get louder and build a bit of tension until they suddenly cut off as the camera cuts into a long shot of a corridor, and at the very end is a dark figure coming towards us. The sound now is only diegetic as we can hear this person’s footstep and the automatic double doors opening and closing. Although this long shot of the corridor is quite long in duration, it builds tension around this mysterious character. This is because first of all we cannot properly see the character until he finally comes close to the camera.
