Cool analysis! I would say that the last scene its about taking a breath, both audience and characters. The dolly out decompresses the structure and the tension we all experienced, also the kid tells a joke so its ok for us to, at least, smile. By the way, Alan is resting quietly with two kids, who has been trying to avoid the whole trip. This movie wont stop amazing me!
There's a dolly out that does the same thing in Hocus Pocus that's a little more nuanced. An argument is happening and it's circular. It's going no where so the tension for the audience disappears aided by the dolly out.
I've seen Jurassic park more than probably any other movie and i never noticed dodgsons can driver before
Yeah it took me watching it a few times in one sitting before i noticed it too.
Thank you, this helped on my film studies class
Glad to hear it! What video would you find more interesting in the future? Character arcs of the movie Elf or Directing Acting Techniques (Verbs) or neither?
@@dollyintomeaning directing acting techniques would be interesting
@@penneguini Thanks! I'm working on a couple 3 page scripts to show how giving actors action verbs is a good directing technique. I might have something coming out on it in a month or so. Appreciate the feedback!
Last scene is about saying goodbye to the characters, fading out and leaving them alone for the night.
Push outs are really good at ending scenes and tension!
I've never thought about speed like that
Slowing or spending time on something can be powerful. Thanks Rizek!
Great stuff man! Love the format - lots of film channels only do "macro-level" breakdowns most don't get into how "micro" level moment-to-moment cinematography affects meaning. I love this!
Thanks! I think film directors being intentional on the microlevel is really impressive. The inspiration, attention and exception to craft on something that eats up maybe 20 seconds is exciting and inspiring.
Hey man great content great info - really glad I stumbled across your channel - keep up the great work - lots more subscribers coming for you for sure cheers!
Thanks Stu! That's so encouraging! Glad to have you as a viewer. I dug your stunt reel! Oh boy did you fly in some of those shots, very cool.
Fascinating. I've been seeing clips of this movie for the past few weeks and I love getting insight on cinematography, as I don't have an eye for it. I love seeing what little choices in camera movement, speed, rotation, and length of shot can do to a scene. As for the last scene, I find it interesting the the camera doesn't pull away until "We'll just have to evolve, too" finishes. It's highlighting that that is the lesson of the movie, which is applicable today, if not for raising dinosaurs. When we as a species make progress, we always need to be aware of consequences, which we're seeing to this day, with the internet and AI advancements, for example. But it doesn't cut to black; it just pulls away, like it's time for the audience to leave the story. But as we're leaving, we still get to see some less serious dialogue, cementing how close the protagonists have become, which gives a sense of warmth and finality for both the character arcs and the story. And that's from one scene, my uneducated opinion. Spielberg does great work.
Thanks for sharing! Great insights. The dialogue that triggers a camera move can be very important. It's also really great you noticed the kind of dialogue that was going on after the camera move; there is less tension more warmth. Cinematography is a skill that can be improved upon over time by practice and being willing to be uncomfortable while sucking as you practice; I guess that's nearly any skill, some just come easier or have more potential than others to us.
Very cool stuff! Could add subtitles during the film dialogue? Sometimes it's hard to hear what the actors are saying... But overall awesome video, glad I found your channel.
Thanks for the feedback! Newish channel always looking to improve!
@@dollyintomeaning you can also use a face/eye tracking AI to simulate your eyes staying focused on the camera and us on the viewer as you read from a prompter. Look into it!!
Great video
Thanks!!!
New subscriber, if you're still taking suggestions then I'd be interested in seeing you do this with Matilda, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, Death Becomes Her, The Goonies and Mouse Hunt.
Great suggestions! I'll see what I'll be able to do.
talking about the the 90's Matilda?
Yes! The Danny Devito directed one
its pulling out to show they are lonely in a dangerous terrain
Interesting like the dangerous world is encircling them. That def adds extra meaning to the move
