\"\"<\/a><\/em><\/span>F1: The Movie <\/em>is full of action, a moment of taking your eyes off the screen didn’t contain with this film. Although this film engaging visually, moments were shown that listening had altered just as much. Diving into understanding of passion and leadership and roles that took place during the film. <\/span>Within the 20-30 minute mark Sonny Hayes (Pitt) had encountered a waitress and mentioned to her an offer that was made to him, \u201d<\/span>how much is the pay?\u2019 \u2018It\u2019s not about the money.\u2019 “So what is it about?\u201d<\/span><\/i> When hearing these lines it almost gives a <\/span>purpose <\/span><\/i>for Sonny to come out of retirement to soon fulfill the role of mentorship towards (rookie) Joshua Pearce (Idris). The last 10 minutes (or so) of the film yet again, Sonny completed in retirement, he\u2019s out finding a new hobby: looking into racing in off-roading vehicles in the Baja Desert. He comes upon a group of male chicanos and approaches the word of them \u2018needing a new driver\u2019 (presents himself as Sonny Hayes- the chicanos recognize his name), bringing up they can\u2019t pay much for his experience and title. He brings up once again, \u201cNot about the money\u201d; the chicanos expressed, \u201cSo what is it about?\u201d I found these phrases as strong comebacks to emphasize that every <\/span>opportunity<\/span><\/i> that comes through shouldn\u2019t always be reliable on the source of income.\u00a0<\/span>Cinematography also played an important role when it came down to how the two main protagonists within being on the race tracks or outside. Kosinski mentioned during a Q&A: at least 14 cameras were on one car to make sure all shots inside, outside, and of the driver were captured. In this case all footage that had been filmed was to be edited into montages. Some scenes would consist of music playing in the background and getting different paced shots of the cars themselves. Its known in the car industry to film your cars then edit them into montages (edits), this specific style usually is admired by all, due to the car sitting in place, with an angle that allows the light to hit the car in an aesthetically pleasing way to show the detail of cleanliness, details\/ designs, and color of the car.<\/span><\/p>\n
