Chungking Express (1994)

Chungking Express (1994) has very highly stylised visuals. Director Wong Kar-Wai is known for using grainy, eccentric visuals in his films, especially in his earlier films. The cinematographers on Chungking Express, Chris Doyle and Wai-Keung Lau use lots of movement and colours in their shots which creates a sense of excitement in almost every shot.

In Of The Right Passage, I want to use the camera movement to create a pace that will not be created by the editing of the piece as it is a slow moving film with few high paced sequences. Therefore,  I plan to use camera movement in especially slow-paced sequences to keep the audience interested. I don't intend to create visuals as eccentric or 'out there' as Wong Kar-Wai's because Of The Right Passage is not as fast paced or exciting but I think that it was worth using some of his visuals as an influence as they do create a more pleasing view of a film.

Another thing I plan to use from the camera style in this film is the grain. As I will be using a DSLR camera to shoot Of The Right Passage I will alter the ISO to create a grainy effect.
