Midterm Throne of Blood.

A film about supertition. The cinematographer of Throne of Blood used many different techniques and styles to project the ambiance of the story.

To give the audience a feel for the betrayal and deceit in the story, Kurosawa uses obstacles in front of the camera. It gives the film a "peeping-Tom" feeling.

Kurosawa maintained the Asian style throughout the film, while still telling an English story by emphasizing facial expressions, just how Asian culture does. This can be seen in the wife's role. She has NO facial expressions which expresses her cold-heartiness.

For the supernatural aspects of the film, Kurosawa uses Natural elements such as Wind, Fog, Rain, Trees, etc. Basically nature in itself. when the ghost appears there is a gust of wind, a billow of fog, just to further add to the creepiness factor.

Lighting paid a huge role in the movie, mainly because the film is monochrome. The lighting added even more expression to the already expressed faces. one main example is Miki in the picture that I will upload ASAP.
