![]() Perhaps this is a boy who has secluded himself from society. The location of his room in the house, in the attic could represent the distance he has placed between himself and others. Tate’s individuality is distinguished from the beginning. The combination of the panning his room, the voice over and the close up of Tate informs us that he will be our protagonist in the film. We are only introduced to one character in the opening to Submarine. We are left wanting to know more about our protagonist as he stands alone by the sea at the end of the opening sequence. What is his relation to the sunsetting shots that follow?.Although it is obvious that the film will follow Tate the opening sequence leaves the story for the film mysterious. Not much can initially be interpreted from sequence. ![]() 2 shots of Tate follow both shots are from behind. As there is little of immediate significance in each shot we begin to wonder whether much will happen in the film. Each shot has an extended duration, lasting about 5 seconds long. Then 5 establishing shots of the landscape with the sun setting in the distance. The first, of what we, the audience presumes is his home town. My name is Oliver Tate.” This is followed by 2 quick cuts to increasingly short close ups of him to the beat of the guitar as the music begins. This thought motivates them to get out of bed, eat food and walk around like nothings wrong. That there is no one on the planet like them. He says “Most people think of themselves as individuals. It simply has a lone character (Craig Roberts) sitting under a window with an voice over from the Character. The storyline to the opening sequence is not specific. This could be implying that the film follows Tate’s transition from an introvert to becoming more extroverted. This could represent how the narrative is about events in the real world as a pose to Tate’s own world ‘under the sea’. Perhaps, is the protagonist ‘out of the box’? When we find Tate, we discover him under the waterline of the poster next to him. When you are in a submarine you are effectively ‘boxed in’. Although there is no obvious answer we could interpret it in many ways. The boxed titles could be interpreted as representing how the character may feel restricted and boxed up. This helps us associate the film with the sea, creating stronger links with the location. The blue and white are the colours of the sea and the Navy. These are all showed is white writing on a blue background. This film demonstrates production synergy as it uses various sectors of companies to produce the film. There are the two main production companies: Film 4, a key advocate for British film, and the UK Film Council (BFI). Along with these, there are 6 other companies which helped produce the film. The multiple production companies shows that this is an independent production. Using inter-titles, make it more interesting to the audience. The reasoning behind doing this may be because have so may production companies all reeled off in one long list would be boring and is more likely to detract an audience the opposite to what an opening sequence is designed to do. these are spread apart with extracts of the film in between. Along with the UK Film Council (The National Lottery financially supports The UK Film Council hence why their logo is in set).Īfter the production cards we have the beginning of the titles. En dat is Submarine in mijn ogen, een aaneenschakeling van uit het leven gegrepen scènes opgeblazen tot ongemakkelijke, belachelijke scènes zonder dat het ook maar enig moment goedkoop aanvoelt.Film 4 helped provide funds for this film. Juist, doordat de ontwikkeling van Oliver niet centraal staat.ĭe knullige, haast genante sfeer die neergezet wordt, is erg herkenbaar, maar is zo droog in beeld gebracht dat het niet pijnlijk, maar grappig wordt. ![]() Zonder pretentieus over te komen, weet Submarine zich te onderscheiden van platte, doorsnee coming of age-films. Lichtabsurdistisch, welbespraakt en bovenal zeer ad rem. Richard Ayoade is een bijzonder komisch persoon en Oliver horen praten, is alsof ik Ayoade zelf hoor praten. Ik vind dat Ayoade zich gefocust heeft op het zien van de wereld vanuit de ogen van een puber met een zeer verfijnd gevoel voor zwarte humor. ![]() Het suggereert dat het zou gaan om de ontwikkeling van een hoofdpersoon, maar mijns inziens gaat Submarine juist daar NIET om.
