Next up was the heartthrob, Everything Everything. We chose this movie due to its popularity amongst our peers. I also featured a prominent woman of color which, to me, was a nice bonus.
Everything Everything
Screen Behavior: included closeups, medium closeups, high angles, wide angles, establishing shots, inserts, tracking shots, zooms, low angels, over the shoulder shots, pans, eyeliner matches, cutaways, and jump cuts. Natural lighting is heavily used, switching to manufactured light at night.
Sound: Favors diegetic, with little non-diegetic, and many voiceovers
Makeup: Little to none, except on occasions where is it used as an element to impress the surrounding characters
Setting: Home, liberty, the beach, vacation home, inside a plane, bookstores, various outdoor locations
Elements of the Genre: The story focuses on a couple determined to be together despite unfavorable circumstances. The obstacle is presented as an illness, physically separating the two main subjects for the progression of the story.
Elements of the film I liked: It was classic without being stale
Elements of the film I disliked: It wasn't very moving for a romantic film; major issues in the story could have been easily avoided and were arguably predictable...the sense of urgency, desperation started to fade here and there
