Research

To research my Mexican theme I watched various Western films and looked at other media done in the style of a Western. I discovered that there are some specific camera techniques that are used to build the tension in the gunfight scenes. There are lots of close ups of hands, eyes, faces and guns. They linger on shots for a long time and there is no speaking, just meaningful looks with their eyes.



 

As these techniques are typical of Westerns, I will use similar shots I will use similar shots for my animation, such as close up eyes, hand next to the gun, tumble weed and the two characters standing face to face.
