"The Lovely Bones"
A new clip came out today for this film. The clip is of the detective questioning Tucci, and to say the least, Tucci looks amazing in this film.
Well this screencap here is from the clip itself. This clip is a perfect example of the type of camera work Jackson has in this film; you can see the handheld work as well as the steadicam work. This clip here looks so much like Spielberg it's frightening, and Jackson never learned from him or studied him. To say the least this film looks so visually captivating and is photographed beautifully by Lesnie. The cool thing about the lighting in some of these scenes, mostly the Earth scenes, is that it's very soft and low key, with the majority of the light sources being natural light. This scene really shows it.
:This screencap here is at the end of this clip and is one of the best focus pulls I've ever seen. The camera focuses from Harvey to the bracelet beautifully; even the framing is perfect. The thing that makes this shot so unique in it's ability to convey a message. The shot starts out on Tucci (let's call him the first focus for explanation's sake) and ends on the bracelet (lets call this the second focus). Usually these shots always have the "second focus" a little in focus, so you can see it before it changes perspective. But here the bracelet is completely out of focus as it's on the Tucci. So as the camera does the focusing, it perfectly conveys the message because things are revealed perfectly.
If that's too confusing then I'll say it this way: You start out seeing Tucci, and by his reaction you understand that something is wrong. So when the camera focuses from him to the source of his agitation (the bracelet) the audience member is more shocked at what is revealed because it's revealed perfectly; the shot perfectly drives the message home, which would have been different if the bracelet was seen a little bit as the camera was focused on Tucci.
