The main setting for The Hunchback of
Notre Dame is at the top of a clock tower, which means it obviously has some
great dramatic backgrounds and layouts. The image below is a layout drawing for
the film, I really like how the dramatic lighting and that the setting is
mostly low key enhances the impression of the film and the feeling of loneliness.
In fact the clock tower setting itself really boosts the films feeling of loneliness
and isolation, this may be because of all the shots like below where the shots
are far away from the subject and panning over the abandoned spaces.
Even the external backgrounds seem to
have the feeling of loneliness attached to them. This is because of the use of
perspective to illustrate how far away and detached the protagonist is from the
people living lower down in the city. The colours in the background below are
very cool which gives us a sense of the atmosphere that makes the image more
immersive and realistic.
The image below makes use of
atmospheric perspective to give an emotional response; illustrating the point
once again that Quasimodo is isolated in a clock tower whilst everyone is
living different lives below. The focal point is shown by the top left of the
image having darker tones and a much higher contrast than the rest of image.
