Sahara Intro

The original music for the intro in the movie 'Saraha' has a funky style and implies a happy beginning for the movie. However, when the music for the movie changes, the mood of the film immediately changes with it, creating a feel that there has been a sad happening before the time in which the film starts. The intro shows various pictures and items that represents memories for the two men which are shown. In the original intro, it seems that the movie is just showing the times in which the two men have been together, and the happy memories they had. However, when changing the music to a sad ballad, it seems as if one of the men has died, or a tragic moment has happened to the two men.

Jeep Commercial Analysis

1. In this commercial, the editor has edited so that the rhythm of the commercial matches with the song that comes with it.

2. The editing manipulates the passing of time by showing shots that show daylight and the night time. There are also shots of a sunset. Another way the editing shows the passing of time is by using match cuts in several different spots in the commercial.

3. One of the graphic matches is again the match cuts. This creates a sense that the person watching the commercial is the owner of the car and will be able to fulfill all the activities that the commercial sells. The match cut also shows the relevance between the car and the activities that are shown in the commercial.

Analysis of shot

The angle used in this shot is an low angle shot. This angle may have been used to create a feeling that the man on top of the drawers is powerful and big. However, in this case I believe that it has done the opposite. By positioning the man and the drawer in the centre, and also by having the man on the drawer in a difficult position can also make him look like he is in a difficult situation which he is having trouble getting out of. Therefore, this is creating a very contrasted look to what a low angle shot usually would create. Another way that this shot has created this feel is the lighting. By having a mostly dark shot with the light mainly on the man, again this creates a shot that looks as if everything is concentrated on the man. It can also be seen that this light is not from an electric light in the room, but that it is coming from the window on the roof, implying that it is the moonlight.
