Proposal for Film Analysis Paper: Joker
The movie genre of superheroes and comic book adaptations has become famous, and big film houses in Hollywood like Disney and Warner Bros are making a lot of profit from the film. One of the movies I would like to conduct an analysis write up is the 2019 film The Joker. The reason why I chose the film the Joker for my final film analysis paper is that it does not conform to the standard lines of superhero films that the audiences have had the chance of viewing. Unlike superhero movies like The Avengers or Iron Man, The Joker is a film about a popular Batman villain called the Joker. The film The Joker embodies a somewhat darker tone than other comic book movies and leans towards the reality of modern-day society, and the challenges people with mental health go through. In addition to this, the main character of the film portrays the idea that anarchy is also another way for the masses to spark social change.
For my final paper for film analysis, I will look analyze the themes of the film The Joker and how they are portrayed in the film. Also, I will analyze the character traits of different characters in the film and how they embody different themes and traits in the fil. I will also look into the four components of mise en scene used in the film. These four elements that I will look into include lighting, setting, costume and make up, and the movement of figures. Another aspect I will look into while analyzing the film will be the camera movements and angles, which I believe played a vital role in making the film a masterpiece. Lastly, I will analyze the relationships between different characters in the film.
