In Time is an action/sci fi/ thriller movie that was realsed on November 1st in the UK starring Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried and Cillian Murphy. In Time is literally about living time, time is everything without it you die. People stop aging by the age of 25 but it is essential to earn more time after that or they can die within a year. Living time is shown on the lower arm and thats all they need, money doesnt exist. They can give time to other people however they can also take it away. Once the clock reaches zero, they die instantly. Society is divided by the social class living in places called 'Time Zones'. The poorer people live in Dayton (ghetto) where they have to earn time to live by working, the rich people live in Greenwich (city/town) where it is luxurious and can live for centuries.
Will Salas also known as Justin Timberlake is a 28 year old factory worker living with his mum in the ghettos. One day he saves a 105 year old millionaire from being robbed by a gang called minutemen. The millionaire suprisingly gives all his time to Will and keeps only 5 minutes to himself which he uses to fall from a bridge. After Wills mother timed out ( died) he decides to take revenge. With over a century in his clock he goes to New Greenwich where he meet Sylvia (Amanda Seyfried) the daughter of time loaning buisness man in a casino. After Wills time is confiscated he decides to take Sylvia as a hostage and escape into the ghettos. They both dont have much time and do anything order to get as much. Eventually they both stick togther and like Bonnie and Clyde they go robbing banks for time capsules and give it to the ones in need.
This is the shot of when the Henry (Matt Bomer) the 150 year old millionaire is transferring his time to Will discreetly. I found this an intresting shot as it is an over the shoulder shot also an close up. It focuses more on the clock that is displayed on the left arm and we watch as he gives all his time to Will.
This is the shot of the Henry Hamilton the 105 year old millionaire that fell from the bridge and Will (Justin Timberlake) looking down on him as he didnt have enough time to stop him. This is also an intresting shot as it is anover the shoulder shot aswell as an birds eye view shot, it shows exactly what Will is seeing. It also shows who is superior and who is weak at the time.
Here there are two similliar wide angle shots from different time zones (places). On the top you see New Greenwich (city/town) and on the bottom you see Drayton(ghetto). You can instantly spot the difference between the two by the setting and how they are dressed also the lighting. At the top in New Greenwhich you can see Will (Justin Timberlake) wearing a tuxedo and the people around him dressed in expensive clothes looking glamorous. The setting looks luxurious and rich as you can tell by the chandeliers and the white walls also the guests seem to be drinking champagne. However when you look at the shot at the bottom in Drayton you can also see Will wearing his unifrom and running. The setting is an industrialised place, looks like a factory and everyone is dressed in uniforms. This place is obviously not as rich as the one in New Greenwhich and this is shown through mise en scene.
OPENING
At 00.21 it mentions the distrubution company- 20th Century Fox
At 00.30 it ahs the logo of the company - Regency
The title is mention as 00.47. This is done in an effective way - the number 4 in 'TIME' counts down to to the number 1, like the countdown that is displayed on the left arm.
Straight after the title it zooms out from inside cell of the skin to the clock that is displayed and then it shows the main character in the movie which is Will( Justin Timberlake).
