My Darling Clementine :)

I'm honestly not sure what we have to write about for this post, so I'm just going to talk about the movie and hope it covers what we need.

Last time I talked about mise-en-scene. But tonight I'm thinking Arby's.....and thinking about writing about the Photography of My Darling Clementine. Many times Ford shows Wyatt at a low angle. I guess this is because he is the hero of this story and looks powerful when shot like this.

Another example of the photography is when the two Earp brothers and Doc start walking to the OK Corral. This is called an extreme long shot. It shows the characters and there surroundings and in this movies makes them look like lone cowboys ready for the fight of their life.

Ford does an excellent job with the photography in this film and I really liked it!

the low angle shots did do a great job adding to Earp's power. I don't really think the extreme long shot had anything behind it. I believe it was just to show the whole scene. I also am thinking arby's.

Dear Dave, i feel you did a neat job on the photography, and i feel paddy is wrong when he says "i dont really think the extreme long shot had anthing behind it. and i smell bad". i feel the extreme long shot was added for a very important reason to help establish wyatt and the dry surroundings.
