There Will Be Blood

There Will Be Blood
We are told the date it is set in 1898 at the beginning.a long shot, and low key lighting is used in a shot of a man crouched down out side surrounded by rocks with hills an greenery in the background. In the lower right corner of the frame there is a section of what looks like a tent. The man is wearing a blue jumper and brown trousers, he has long untidy hair and beard, this suggests the man doesn't need to look well groomed or that he does not have time/equipment to do so. His face, hands and clothes are dirty, this could signify that the man is poor/homeless and therefor cannot afford to wash, although it could mean that he works in a dirty setting. Diabetic sound of thunder and wind adds to the gloomy outside atmosphere. cold, dull colours (e.g grey and dark blue) are used, this connotes the characters emotions are sad and lonely due to his isolation. Low contrast creates a naturalistic lighting, this is used because the man is sat outside in a real situation. Shallow focus us used to connote to the audience that the character is oblivious to all that is around him apart from his possessions, this could also be about the character being set on a specific life goal or destination. this scene is set in the evening nearing winter, we know this by the characters body language, he has his legs to his chest and arms around his legs to keep in body heat, this could also be distinguished be looking at the dark clouds. The man has a fire to lit, this could be used for both heat and light.
Clean cut to a close up of someones hand chiseling a rock wall. The had looks distressed meaning it has been doing this for a while, it could be the persons job. An orange light is coming from the right hand side and lighting a bit of the wall, looks like a candle meaning the setting is dark, probably underground. High key lighting is used. The rock wall is lit by a white light, most likely moonlight, this casts a shod ow on the hand. This may be used to suggest the rock wall is of importance but the hand is not, therefor the person chiseling is considered unimportant. Diabetic sound of the hammer hitting the chisel and the chisel impacting the rock, quiet non diagetic background music is also used. A Piece of rock falls from the wall, tilt to show the man picking up the rock, follows him back up to standing. Diagetic sound of the man spitting on the rock to clean it, non diagetic music continues. The mans hat isn't in focus as it covers the view of the rock whilst he is cleaning it, the mans arm is in focus to show his arm movements that indicate he is cleaning the rock suggesting the rock is of great importance to the man and the film.
