Textual Analysis - Bruce Almighty


From 2:20 to 3:20...
{Thats the way the cookie crumbles.}

Mise en scene

Bread and pastries to show that they are in a bakery. Lots of people shows town goinng about their everyday lives. (comedy about life). Parking signs, shop windows, people from different working backgrounds.

Camera

The camera shake shows that they have a low budget for the clip during the medium shot of Bruce and the two bakery workers. This makes the viewer realise that he is at the bottom of his field of work. The obvious camera jump highlights the mistake and reiterates the low budget feel of the sequence. As the camera shakes some of the heads of the characters get cut off. [Low budget]

Editing

Slow motion. There is no point to it. It is simply for humerous purposes only. Spontanious and random. (We should be carful when using random comedy in our piece because we dont want to lose the structure of the story). The cuts are relatively average paced as it is meant to seem like an average film with a twist.

Sound

Calm peaceful townsfolk music to start with.
Non diegetic: Chariots of fire is popularly known for its sporting references in running races. Ironic that it was after Bruce said 'que the cheesy inspirational
music!'. (3:02) Music fades out when scene changes (sound bridge).
