'Blade Runner' is a movie about an innovative vision of the future in which man has discovered how to make human clones. Throughout this movie, the elements of deep space, cameo lighting, contrast and affinity of tone, saturation, and lines make the movie very intrguing. All of these elements give this movie, and even other movies, a lot of character.
At the very beginning of the movie during the opening credits, I found it interesting that it was complete blackness minus the words popping up on the screen. The movie was very dark with a ton a deep space throughout. So the opening credits tied into the whole movie being a dark one. There is also never any sun light in the movie. It is always darkness. However, during the opening script when it explains the back story of what is happening, the word 'replicant' is red. It made me believe that whatever a replicant was, it was bad. Also, it always seemed to be raining which brought gloominess to the film. The outside world is a dangerous, gloomy place.
During this movie, there was a high contrast in tone. Whenever we got a glimspe of the city, it was either black or some other color, very extreme. There was also a high saturation in color. The colors within the movie were very rich and vibrant.
During the very beginning of the movie, when Mr. Holden is interogating the guy, said guy's head is always tilted into a diagonal line. This indicates that this guy is bad news and that Holden should be careful.
When we met Pris, she walks past a whole bunch of yellow caution signs. At first I thought that meant that she was going to be in danger at some point. Then when J. F. Sebastian walks in and meets her, I noticed that he was wearing an orange collared shirt and whenever we saw him in frame there was yello behind him. He is the one in danger
Television and cinema would not be anything without any of the elements listed above. Quite frankly it would be very boring. These characteristics make a movie something worthwhile and give meaning to a movie.
