In this scene in the Pirates of the Caribbean this use a wide range of camera angles they use a lot of their camera angles in a way to show the status of someone. I found that when showing who was higher up on the ship they would use a low angle showing they are in charge and have the power over someone. Usually shown to be looking down at someone as if they are talking down to them. They use a long shot around the boats to show everyone working hard giving us the impression on how busy the boat is, they have done this so then moving into a tracking angle which works from the back of Geoffrey Rush to the front with no movement from him at all, by using this angle and angling it in a low position it shows us that he is the one in charge because he’s stood in the centre of the ship while all his crew work hard around him. Point of view shots had been added to the scene to give us more information in what they are looking or speaking about usually used if they have been talking about it they would place the camera in an angle where it looks like they are looking from their eyes giving us a different perspective. When they were using the long shots to show how busy the ship was they also used these to show us the actors body language showing us how they are reacting to this, making the scene look effective.
When the ships where showed they used an extreme long shot showing us where the setting is and also to show us the difference between the two ships and how this big brawl was happening in the middle of nowhere. When the battle starts in the scene this the angles change to a lot of Dutch tilts, they have decided to use these because they want to show the confusion on the boat and what is going to happen. The biggest Dutch tilt which happens is when Johnny Depp is in the bottom of the boat and because he cannot see what is going off they put a Dutch tilt in to show that he is confused on what is going off. The angle which I noticed in this scene of the Pirates of the Caribbean is a focus point they use this in here when they are focus on a point of danger, they use this by focusing a fork which has going to flying right into the wall next to the scruffy pirates face then focusing into the background showing the actors reaction to what has just happened.
The mise-en-scene has been used in the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean to show the difference between the two ships and their characters and personality’s. One of the pirate ships is a very common clean ship which shows us what a typical pirate ship should look like, to show the ship which has got the most money and look after their self-more is showed by the way they dress, look and the ship. They are wearing more modern clothing showing that they must have a lot of money to be able to afford these nice clean, cut clothing when the other ship are wearing rags and old clothes giving us the impression on how much they don’t care and that they will wear anything that they can find without even caring about it. These are two typical pirate ships but shown in different ways because we expect the pirates to have good wealthy clothing but also expect them to be messed up because of what hard work it is working and living on the ships. In the scene they use props such as barrels and swords they use this to show us what century that the film has been set in using close ups to highlight these making them stand out showing us what time it’s been set they also do this by the style of clothing’s which they wear.
When camera goes into a long shot its shows the two ships giving us straight away a sight of the differences between both ships, one a tatty old ship because the sails are not looked after, with smoke following the ship making us think more in depth because have can a ship sail with broken sails making us think maybe it is a magic ship because the smoke and it seems to be chasing the other ship.
