I decided to analyse a scene from Moonrise Kingdom by Wes Anderson as this film has influenced me both creatively and technically when producing my short film. By deconstructing Anderson's work I will be able to identify the features that make his work so unique and use this as influence in my own product.
Most notable in the work of Anderson is the camera work which often sees the use of still shots and tracking shots to create almost photograph like image. Close up shots of characters faces are often shown in the centre of the screen (0:22) developing a symmetrical aesthetic, which seems to be a key feature in his work. Moonrise Kingdom also uses a very identifiable colour scheme, which can be seen in this clip. The main colour is Yellow and features in almost every shot of this film. These subtle and uniqueuse of still shots, symmetrical mis-en-scene and strong use of colour seems to be what identifies a Wes Anderson production.
