I chose
to watch the movie "Under The Skin" with Scarlett Johansson. I liked
the way this movie was filmed. It was an out of this world science fiction
movie that kept made me want to see more. The way it was filmed was
beautiful. Under the Skin is visually a fascinating
movie to watch. I really enjoyed the aesthetics and the way that it was filmed.
The movie is about a woman who lures men with her attractiveness and acts very
seductive towards them. After she lures them, she kills them and they end up
dying instantly. This movie is about seeing the real world through an alien's
point of view. The alien represents the woman, while the documentary styled
type filming represents the real world. The music in the film is also adds more
horror to the scenes and climax.
I
especially liked the beginning where Scarlett Johansson is laying on the
floor and the whole set is completely white. She is laying on the ground with
her dark hair in contrast. The film has many jump cuts and goes back in forth
from the past to the future to represent time. For example, when she is riding
in the car with different men during multiple clips.
When she kills the man on
the beach there is a clip that shows a baby that was crying during the day and
was then crying during the night. Johansson's character was in the car. Jump
cuts are definitely used to show time progression. Also, sounds shows time as
well in this movie. The sound is not overly produced and is eerie. After a man
that she seduces dies, the eerie sounds start playing. Silence is also used to
show a different scene.
