A must see it again movie

Rating: Null/10 (24 September 2014)

Star Wars episode lV is a subgenre to the genre of action films, other action films in this subgenre are star trek and space odyssey. George Lucas took space adventures and space travel to the next level of film fantasy, and was such an inspiring pioneer. Star Wars episode IV is a typical genre film that is shot digitally with incredible special effects. Star wars episode IV is based on the rival between the good and evil of the force, and how mankind once again must rely on the good of the force to protect the galaxies from Lord Vader and the dark side.
George Lucas is a master of film editing and uses so many techniques in this film from fade in fade out, dissolve, establishing shot, shot/ reverse shot, eye line match, and fast cutting. Every scene seemed to flow smoothly from each sequence, and I felt so drawn into each scene that I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the next scene.
Sound effects used in this film were incredible and extremely effective from the sounds of Lord Vader breathing you could just feel the power in his voice, and the sounds of the light sabers when battling. The sounds of the battleships and voices of Chewbacca, RC3PO, R2D2 and other characters were so real meaningful to their parts in the film. The music in the film had such a dramatic impact and theme in the film such as scenes with Lord Vader and the dark side. I felt that the music had such a mysterious tone that it gave me a sense of fear when shots and scenes of the dark side shown. The way Gorge Lucas used sound to each shot and scene was remarkable, because every sound had some meaning and made the scene come to life and so realistic. The sound effects I felt were synchronous sound and diegtic sound, and what drew me deeper into each sequence.
When it comes to cinematography George Lucas was the pioneer of digital photography. I have the same feeling that George felt for digital photography it brings more clarity and realism to each shot. George was able to create films sets in digital photography that he couldn't have done using film. The film used many techniques from tight framing, loose framing, and symmetrical composition. Camera perspectives such as deep focus and zoom shot helped make the digital shots more to the mind of the viewers. Camera positions such as bird's eye view, eye level shot, and low angle shots made scenes more powerful and dramatic. I feel camera distance was a major focus on each shot because George wanted to give viewers the sense that they were right there in the scene. Viewers could see the details in every costume, set design, and how life like each subject looked. George used close up shots and medium shots on subjects when battling or in conversations. Extreme to long shots used when showing the Death Star battle cruisers passing by and the conflicts with the Galactic fighters. Camera movement such as panning, crane shots, and hand-held shots were incredible smooth between each shot and scene. I believe that the cinematography and sound brought the other aspects of the film together.
I feel George Lucas wanted to create a film that reached out to all individuals by giving the power of imagination in space travel. Star Wars episode IV gives you hope that good will conquer evil, and if you believe in your inner self that anything can happen. All mise-en-scene of this film was done with high detail and a deep imagination. It is this detail and imagination that sticks in the minds of children and adults for generations to come. I have never enjoyed a film so much or was drawn into the film as much as Star Wars episode IV film. This film is a must see for the whole family and gets a two thumbs up.
