Just Love The Frames.
6 January 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Analysis from cinematography point of view as am the student of cinematography.

So, Village Rockstar remind me the work of Subrata Mitra mainly the framing, the use of Bamboos as frame. The add on I liked in the film was the static shots which was not really static and that's what make the scene alive. The use of colour to separate or merge the subject to any specific things in a scene. One of my favourite scene in the term of using colour to convey a message was " when Dhunu was going back to the home from school all the the girls were wearing the pink skirt and all the boys wearing wearing the blue half pant and Dhunu were wearing a blue skirt which make Dhunu little offbeat and the colour of her skirt convey the message that she more like her male friends in comparison to her female friends. From the very beginning of the film her character were more masculine doing tough work climbing the tree, ridding the boat etc in comparison to a regular girl. So coming back to cinematography there are many scenes in the film were Rima Das made frame so compact that she want that audience do not get distract somewhere just keep sticking to the subject and it's activities seems that Rima Das hevly inspired by Pather Panchali movie by Satyajit Ray. Some of the compact frame I liked a lot are :-

1.When women's of the village, taunt Dhunu for climbing the tree in the next scene her mother went in to women's area and give a lecture to them very angryly.

2. When Dhunu is counting her money.

3. When Dhunu got her first menstrual cycle.

4 When her mother went to the shopkeeper for guitar.

One of the clever technique which I like to conclude. When little goat Munu got vanish suddenly, while searching the goat at the night everything is little to become gradually little more out of focus by doing this Rima Das actually magnified the subject in the frame & the subject become little larger also kind of bokh effect which is pleasurable to watch and the children also appears little magnified but little bulred. If the same scenes were done with the Sharpe focus the flame would appear like a point and children's were not appeal anything due to lack of details because of dark and wide shot, so it's better to make out of focus and let the subject got little magnified and rest leave on the gesture of the actors to convey the message. And this magnification happen due to out of focus.

The movie with the great story and great visual specially give you goose bumps at the ending, water use as metaphor every where in the film. If you love dark grey blueish movie then you will love the colour and mood of the film. From composition point of view director put the subject mostly in the centre instead of like left or right (rules of thirds) which we see mostly in all the film.
