The School of Rock
School of Rock
The ‘School of Rock’ is about an over confident guitarist Dewey Finn played by Jack Black. This film is written by Mike White, it is produced by Scott Rudin along with being directed by Richard Linklater. In this film Dewey Finn is a selfish so called “rock star”. He pushes his luck with the band and uses people to get what he wants or where he wants. A lot of the way through this film you come to terms with what makes the film what it is today, like lighting techniques, the uses of sound, the use of camera and so forth, this all sets up the viewers for the rest of the film. The film starts with what looks like a spotlight onto a man’s t-shirt, this then joins in with the title graphics as on the back of his T-shirt is “Paramount Pictures” the way this is presented is eye catching as the spotlight on the man’s back shows you that is where you focus the title graphics are embedded into the film, the print is white bold lettering onto a black background on the man’s t-shirt, you can also here the man’s footsteps as he walks in front of the camera. Soon we are led to the door of the club, the door swings open with a thud, showing it is a fire exit door, the lighting in this frame is dull and misty almost, when the door is swung open you notice the club’s name in bold red neon lighting, we see this straight away as it is eye catching because of the bright red colour and the dark wall that the name is presented on, the club’s name is ‘The School of Rock’. In the short time we see this name, the ‘S’ flickers, this then shows the audience that the club/venue is not the best or newest place around, as the camera moves away from the name, we see the audience by the stage, bar and tables, once again the lighting is dull, in the background you can hear music coming from the stage, The music is faint but gradually grows louder the closer you get to the stage immediately you are drawn to the stage as it is the only thing lit up well in the club, the band
