Blog Assignment #7

Step1

Step2

            I chose the sense from the movie, Scent of a Woman. In my opinion, the theme is romance, and this story is about how a blind wardroom rekindles the enthusiasm for life. Especially in the upper sense, this sense show to audiences that how a romantic feeling that the old wardroom can give to women even though he is a blind person. Moreover, this sense is active because the director gives the active personality to the blind wardroom; also, this sense is around a graceful dance that gives audiences a active emotion indirectly but also stronger.

           I choose a sense of Scent of a woman. For shape, both of Al Pacino and leading lady have the rounded heads. Being different than triangle head, rounded heads are not willing to have sex as soon as possible. In my opinion, the rounded heads always symbolize people are mature and modest, especially for Al Pacino, because he is a gentlemanly actor, he make the role’s mature personality deeper; therefore, audiences can find a feeling as grace when Al Pacino and leading lady played a vague dance instead the sexual hint. For movement, the director used more object movement than camera movement for this sense. I think the reason why the director did this is he wants to highlight the Al Pacino’s role’s positive emotion although he was a blind person.

            For the week one’s two of six binary, I choose the color and light. The Scent of a woman used bright light since I think the director want to give audiences an emotion that Al Pacino’s role is a positive person even though he was experiencing a horrible wound; also, the leading lady is a young and powerful maiden that set Al Pacino’s role brighter because he had a serious physiology defect. In addition to color, the director also makes a bright light environment. In the dancing floor, we can see the sunshine came from some big windows. Also, in the sense, the sunshine reflect on both Al Pacino and the leading lady’s face that make them look happy and pure even though they are a old blind wardroom and a beautiful young lady, which not looks like a normal couple. The movie, Scent of a woman, used the bright light to make audiences forgot every disharmonious elements to focus on the graceful dance.
