Finally My Film Analysis Diagram
The Film –
City of God, directed by Fernando Meirelles, scene - “The Beginning of the End”
The Process –
I started by creating the time scale twice. Both measure time in minutes:seconds:frames. The scale on the left is measuring the rate of filmic time, double where there is a scene in slow motion and shortened by ¼ where there is a fast-forward in filmic time. The second on the right marks the points of time the camera angle is changed.
I then placed a frame proportionate to the film frame between the camera change marks, deriving the differing scene sizes. Within each scene I took a still shot for every second and diagramed the main character, other moving characters and the background. Within each frame, depending on the duration of the sequence, there are a number of transparent layered still diagrams creating the differing saturation of the frames.
The red lines on the left are the position of the camera and its focal point relative to the central object of the filmic space. Behind that, the gray area depicts the intensity of the screen relative to the camera duration and the filmic time.
Overall I am interested in looking at the motion of the filmic space relative to the viewer’s static position over time.
