Film Review
As you may have seen, for the past term we have been doing a film study on Hunt for the Wilderpeople.
New Zealander Taika Waititi was the director of the film. The theme was survival because Ricky and Hec were in the bush for months from the manhunt followed by the social services lady. Anxiously the viewers awaited the time Hec and Ricky may be caught.
Main character/s Ricky, Hec, and Bella. They lived near the mountains and Bella never really knew where she was from and she always thought that when she would die she would go to the clouds above the mountain. Then Bella died within the first 40 minutes of the film. The film was filled with drama, significance, and adventures.
The way Taika Waititi showed the characters persona was interesting and easy to take knowledge to. Hunt for the Wilderpeople was really laid out well and it all fit good together. I give it a 4 star rating. I recommend this to people who are interested comedy filled drama movies.
This Scene is where Ricky and Hec are hiding from the people walking above them.
They are hiding in a bunch of trees under a small cliff so they don’t get caught by the police and Ricky was using some kind of language/hand motions to tell Hec something but it made Hec think something else. The way the producers/directors put Ricky and Hec in the position was to give the audience a bit of a scare and hesitation because they were hiding there just waiting to be seen. These shots are important because you need a bit of a bump to boost the story up a little bit more to make you feel suspense. The shot in the photo is a mix between “two shot and Mid shots”. They do the midshot so you can see what is happening but not too much of it and obviously two shots so you can see both of the people and how they are reacting. The filmers did this in a very casual way so you can see what is going on in the whole frame without having to cut from shot to shot.
