In the opening scene, there is a small patch of grass in the snow. This is followed by Bambi and his mother starting to eat the grass. There aren’t significant indications on who the main character will be in the move, but bambi seems to be in more of the shots then the mother.When the scene begins, it starts with a medium close up on the patch of grass. This cuts into a “cutting on action” shot, where bambi runs into the shot, the shot is matching the movement of the deer. The following scene is introduced by using a medium close up on bambi. After this last scene you can not only tell what they’re doing, but who the main character is based on his part in these three first shots. In the opening, you can start to notice that bambi is the main character, as mentioned above. You also learn that they are in danger from the gunshots in the background. After there are gunshots the pace of the film starts to pick up as the two start to run. When bambi realizes his mother has been shot, the film becomes dark and slow. The emotions and feelings are displayed through sound, speed and lighting in the movie. You can tell when the movie starts to become very intense and action pact.In the opening scene, there is a small patch of grass in the snow. This is followed by Bambi and his mother starting to eat the grass. There aren’t significant indications on who the main character will be in the move, but bambi seems to be in more of the shots than the mother. You can tell that bambi is with his mother based on the protective and motherly behavior displayed by her. The writer created the same idea for bambi’s father. He is displayed as a large deer, who is also very protective and strong. The opening shot is a wide shot, which displays freedom and shows lots of space. This shot shows the viewers that the two are alone and have lots of space on their own. This is also displayed in Inja when the boy is watching his dog play, the wide shot shows all the freedom the boy feels when watching the dog play. You can tell it brings him joy. In both Inja and Bambi, the filmmakers used many full close-ups, medium close up and long shots. These films were used to really show the characters expressions and feelings. In Inja it showed the fear and sadness in the boy when his dog was being hurt, as it was in bambi when he was without his mother. It also showed the freedom and happiness they possessed when bambi had his mother and the boy had his dog in Inja. In bambi the pace changes throughout the movie. It starts at a normal pace but when the action starts to increase, the pace increases. When bambi found out his mother was shot, it started to slow down to represent his sadness. I felt that in Inja the films pace stayed the same, it had many different shots but the filmmaker felt it was more effective to change the shots then the pace. The fast change in shots for both clips creates a flow in the film and helps tell the story. The colors, shots and music all play a major role in the art of storytelling.Both stories are told very well in such a short amount of time. Although Bambi is much longer, the clip played is very easy to follow even without a background. Inja is also easy to follow along due to the different shots that are implemented alongside the different paces in bambi and music in Inja. Both short films flow well, a substantial part of both movies are told based on the shots and paces of the films.
