The Joker
What is shocking about the joker? :
people might have an issue with the film because from the trailer it seems that the movie is depicting people with mental illness to be scary, unstable, and something to be afraid of basis they have urges to be violent. People may have an issue with this because it could be harmful as people without high knowledge on mental illness may believe this to be true, creating a stigma around people with mental illness
General notes of the scenes :
- a yellow tone making everything seem dingy and dirty.
- Dim lighting adds suspense and the idea of the unknown, as well as a sense of unease and being alone
- A few wide shots to signify that the joker feels alone. Is also signifies that he is perhaps unusual or out of this world, as normally shots of people are from the shoulders up, but the director several times showed the jokers full body, as if he is an unusual specimen that we need to see fully to be able to take in and understand.
- Also a few low angle shots, possible suggesting that although all the struggle and ridicule he has gone through, he still invasions himself as above the average person, that they mean nothing to him and therefore he is comfortable taking their lives.
- Also a few dutch angles, used to portray the jokers mental state; off balance, confusing, disorientated, and deranged.
