Journal #3: Movies


The movie National Treasure is truly a great movie that really can work your brain throughout the
movie as well as give you a few laughs here and there.  I am attracted to this movie for a couple of reasons the first being under the formal elements category.  This movie uses different camera positions very heavily in order to get the point across of how you are supposed to see something or interpret it.  A scene that really shows this is when they are using the tower's shadow to point them to the next clue.  There are multiple camera angles that help to show the different perspectives that can be taken from what is said.  Another thing that really catches my attention with this movie is what I would call a Cultural one.  There is not a specific scene but more less the whole movie that requires you to make assumptions of what will happen next.  These kind of movies really make you think and interact with what is going on which iswhy I am particularly fond of them.
