Cinematography: Vertigo -> Links to Production Context
How cinematography shows the production context of Vertigo:
- The colours in Gavin Elster's office foreshadows everything that will happen to Scottie. All the colour values are used as symbols; red consuming the room signifies blood & death, especially the wide shot of the red rug. The use of red reflects the fear of Scottie which is reflective of the production context as this represents the fear that the everyday man faced in America during the 50's due to the many conflicts that were occurring.
- Vertigo conveys its production context as the movie pushes boundaries through cinematography. Vertigo invented the dolly zoom (when the camera zooms in and out, as seen when Scottie tries to rescue Madeleine and chases her up the staircase) which once again reflects the turbulent nature of America during the 50's as this scene shows chaos which reflects the chaos of the conflicts and wars that happened in the 50's
