This is one of the close-ups pictures i chose from "Menace 2 Society". I picked this photo because I believe that The Hughes Brothers wanted to show viewers the face expression on a person's face when they get shot. Its like when you are not expecting something, and it hits you shock comes. Knowing that you are pouring out blood, all thats running through your mine is that you are about to die. Thats why i think they wanted to make this certain shot as a close-up.
After Menace 2 Society, The Hughes Brothers directed another drama movie. "Dead Presidents." I think this certain shot would be a Binary Opposition (Men Vs. Nature). I say that because in this film, a group of guys come home from a war and they deal with changes in their community. Drugs, sex, etc. plays a role in the changes they went through. The most factor was money. This photo shows the guys after robbing a bank security truck, they stands there and watch the truck explode.
My last photo is Zoom In shot of Johnny Depp. Starring in the film From Hell. I never saw this film before, but by the looks of the photo, it seems Johnny was saying something important. Overall, The Hughes Brothers uses the types of shots in his movie. I think thats what makes their movies tight. Being directors, they know the right time to use different shots. I hope The Hughes Brothers direct another movie in the future.
- When directing a film, is their a time where ya'll think about making a comedy or romance movie?
- Would the Hughes Brothers ever think about directing a movie alone? why? or why not?
