Shutter Island - 5B

After still having complications of ripping my video from YouTube, I have decided to, again, post my video i was going to use for this assignment.  Shutter Island is known for having an active feel rather then a didactive approach.  The imagery helps the viewer understand certain motifs throughout the movie.  The first thing i have noticed was the shapes of the characters.  After discussing this in class, I have began to analyze the shape before everything else.  The main character and his "sidekick" have similar shaped faces and body features.  Contrasting to the boxier facial features of the mains characters,  most other relevant characters in the film have a more circle based face.  I thought this was interesting since as Mr. Williams has said in class, "None of it was an accident." The second concept I have noticed in this clip of Shutter Island is the rhythm.  The rhythm  of all of the character differ in interesting ways.   The main character moves in a slow fashion; it always makes you feel that he is thinking about his next move.  His sidekick moves in a faster, more energetic motion, which creates a contrasting feel in relation to the main character.  Lastly,  the Doctor of the facility moves in a slow fashion as well and speaks fluently.  It seems that if he plans everything out in advance and thinks about what he will be saying next.  It also gives a feel of wiseness and calmness.
