Description

Hugo 1. There are a lot of cinematic language inside the movie, Hugo. The movie uses a lot of fade-in, fade-out, low-angle shot, and dolly in. Fade-in happened in the beginning of the movie, first snow appears then fade-in to Paris then fade in to train station. Dolly in happened in the beginning of the movie, where the camera is passing by the trains, also when Isabelle went to watch the movie with Hugo (represent fascinated and interest of movies). Low Angle shot happened when George Melies talks to Hugo and when the bookstore man talks to Hugo. There are some close up on Hugo to show his emotions to the audience and when George Melies was flipping through the notebook. 2.

3. The explicit meaning of the movie Hugo is a young boy, Hugo, living inside the train station’s clock alone, trying to fix the robot find the message that left by his father, and escaping from the capture of the guard inside the train station. While he is finding the missing piece of the robot, Isabelle, George Melies’s Goddaughter, helped him. They discovered the machine once belonged to George Melies. 4. The motifs that shown in this movie are time, clock, machine, snow, technology, and magic, and purpose. I think the director uses machine parts and robot is to convey that people are like machine, they need all parts to work and work coordinately. The key that was missing in the movie symbolizes people that the lack of a purpose. People lack with a purpose are alive, but they are living as an empty shell, like the robot that sits there but can’t do anything. In the film, a character said that the robot

looks sad because it can’t work with the key, just as human without a purpose is sad. In the end of film, everyone in the character found a home and a purpose to live. 5.

6.

In the movie, they mention about WW2. The guard that was injured by WW2 and George Melies’s life been affected by the WW2. Lives have been affected by WW2, it changes everyone’s in big and small ways. It ended people’s lives and dreams

7. In this movie, there is a lot of zoom-ins, zoom-outs, fade-ins, fade-outs, and dolly ins. Also, there’s a lot of suspenseful, high tension, and chasing scenes. These factors make a great 3D movie. 3D movie made audiences feel more interactive and can engage more to the movie. It maximizes the emotions that the director wanted the audience to feel....
