Sexxxy Paragraph 1
In Dragonheart the 1996 film about a dragon named Draco and a knight named Bowen. In this film, the producers take plenty of immersive and interesting shots to attract more audience. Similar to the shot you see above where they use an XL5.

This shows the struggle between Bowen and Draco when they first meet one another. The angle of the shot helps to improve the intensity of the scene. Which engages the audience more for what is yet to come later in the film. The purpose of this was to really show the size and power difference between a dragon and a knight. As well as showing us Draco doesn't wanna kill Bowen and he wouldn't like to die either so he suggests an alternative. This worked well with the plot of the scene and really gave the full effect. I personally enjoyed this scene because it was a mix of comedy and power struggle which worked well together. The scene also had well-scripted dialogue to go with the scene.

This reminds me of spiderman when he and the goblin were fighting but then found out who they are. And were indecisive on what to do.



Sexxxy Paragraph 2
In Dragonheart, we see many well used medium shots. For example, the directors of Dragonheart used medium shots to show the bonding between Einon and Bowen. Which is also a slight bit of foreshadowing. This makes us understand the power advantage Bowen had over Einon in the start of the film. Showing us many years of practice and studying gives you the upper hand even in a sword fight. The director did this to captivate the audience into the two characters relationship. Combined with the happy upbeat music the scene was set even better.





Sexxxy Paragraph 3
High angles are used effectively in Dragonheart. For example, it was used well in the scene where Einon gets bumped into a spike on the side of a hut. This shows the blood running down the water and makes the audience believe Einon might die. The director did this to show the damage Einon took to further tell the story. Combined with well-used lighting and the colour red to show the negative emotion. The whole scene worked well together and reminds us of the end of the film when Einon is finally beaten.
