Digital Screenshots Assignment.

For my assignment, I chose the movie Grown Ups. The main characters in this movie are Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, and Rob Schneider. It is based on a story of a basketball game that they played and won as children. They were all brought together by their coach. The phrase that was the whole moral of the story was "Live your life like champions so that you regret nothing when that last buzzer sounds." Years later the boys had grown up and had their own families now. The thing that brought them back together was the death and funeral of their coach. In the end, they learn that each family has their own differences, secrets, and advantages, but they are all part of a single event that connected their lives together. In this movie, there was a lot of panning to the left and the right to give a sort of setting for the scene that is about to unfold. When people were in direct conversation with each other it showed them in close up in order of the one who was speaking at the time. He also showed close up shots to emphasize some kind of special conversation or private moment between couples in the movie. In the scene where they all go to the water park, which takes up a good portion of the movie, there is fast motion panning for effects that make the park seem new and fun. In some areas of the movie, there are points where the camera is elevated in the air and zooming in towards the horizon, giving the effect that the groups of families are out in the woods somewhere. This helps portray the cabin/lake house setting for the rest of the movie. The transitions throughout the movie are crisp and quick. There doesn't seem to be any fancy transitioning going on within the movie. The cuts of this movie and the composition overall make this a humorous and inspiring story.
