In upstate New York, two men (Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper), and later, their sons (Dane DeHaan, Emory Cohen) must deal with the unforeseen consequences of their actions.
In this clip, cinematography is shown throughout in every different shot. At the start of the clip we see a fairground which is able to set the scene for the audience. In this whole clip, there isn't much camera movement. There are a lot of cuts in between shots. There are also a lot of close ups which helps the audience feel more connected and closer to the character. The colours are also quite bright throughout suggesting that the film is not a horror or a thriller. As well as colour, the high key lighting tells the audience that this is not a scary film, it also emphasises the intensity of the situation when they are in the church. There are a few tracking shots and pans when he is riding his motorbike. However most of this clip contains still camera shots where the camera focus on one thing rather than the whole surroundings.
It is clear to the audience that the genre of this film is a drama/crime as the non-diegetic music in the backgrounds creates a tense atmosphere. It slowly builds up when they are in the church as the end of the scene which suggests something big is happening to the audience.
When the camera focuses on him in the church the lighting is much lower key than high. This shows the emotions he is feeling as the baby is being baptised. As well as the lighting, we can tell he is upset as he crying and also the tattoo on his face. The tattoo is a upside sword that has blood dripping off. The dripping blood may symbolise the tears rolling down his cheeks. Also the tattoo is located near his left eye. The close up shot at this point in the scene can be seen as revealing to the audience as well as the audience perhaps feeling sorry for him as they may feel connected to him.
In the second scene whilst on the front porch of the woman's house, the camera and shots are very close to the characters. This gives the audience a sense of the amount of space that is on the porch which also may make the audience feel as if they are there with the characters.
The camera also tilts up and down which follows the characters especially in the last scene in the church when he is crying.
With the close up shots, the filmmaker's aim may have been to make the audience understand the characters better and get a sense of how they are feeling. Throughout this clip, the filmmaker is very successful. This is because even though the clip is only showing part of the. film, by the end of the clip the audience feel sorry for him when he is crying.
