The Grand Budapest Hotel Film Analysis

  The Grand Budapest Hotel Film Analysis   ANALYSIS/MAIN POST (at least 300 words) Wes Anderson is famous for how he frames his shots. Pay attention to individual shots, and make note of the composition within the frame. Where are figures placed? What is the relationship among the figures in the foreground, middle ground, and background? Why do you think he chooses to frame his shots this way? How does his composition add to this story? Note the type of movement (movement of figures within the frame or movement of the frame itself) in important shots and describe as accurately as possible the effect that that movement has on the relationships among the figures in the frame. For example, Wes Anderson likes to use tracking dolly shots that move from left to right across the set. How does this add to the story? Describe the elements of the production design (the sets, props, costumes, makeup, hairstyles, etc.) and how they are used to tell the story. For example, are certain characters associated with specific color palettes, props or costume designs? How do the design elements reflect the different time periods within the film? Describe specific examples from the film.
