Ex drummer intro analysis

This is a clever, Flemish film that follows the course of three disabled 'handicapped' men who are portrayed as 'losers' as they form a band and make the mistake of asking a famous writer to be there drummer, which ends badly.

 

Establishing shot: This is the first shot of the intro and shows the name of the production company on an everyday appliance that is operated by the characters within the film. This is highly effective and stylish and presents a strong feeling of interaction between the characters and the producing of the film.

This is another shot of the movie titles appearing on real life objects within the film, this time the actual movie title 'ES DRUMMER' appears in bold, capital letters on the door of an office. This is a clever use of mise en scene and gives an understated feel to the film.

This shot shows the three characters involved in the intro riding bicycles backwards, this is a lovely use of tracking and I'd really like to incorporate a feeling of this in my piece. It gives the idea of quirkiness to the audience and shows that this film is unique to 'normal' film-making or production techniques and that it's going to be different and refreshing.

Music/sound:

During Ex Drummers intro there is a voice over/narration present that is spoken in Flemish with subtitles underneith. The narration gives the feeling of an anecdote and really draws the watcher in.
The music that is playing is heavy metal, this contrasts with the long. slow, dragging feel to the intro and the dull, anaesthetic colours.
