Scott Pilgrim vs. the World


I was excited to finally watch this film (and even more happy that it counted for extra credit). From just watching the previews I knew that this movie would be different from other movies based on comic books; Scott Pilgrim vs. the World actually tried to retain the feeling of the comic book throughout the movie. The main way that they accomplished this was using text, color, and animated images throughout the film. Every time that there was a sound or emotion that needed to be emphasized, the style of the movie changed. Take for example the image below when the two characters kissed-- the background gets a pink color added and hearts start floating around. Together both elements place more focus on the kiss and remind viewers of the movie's comic book roots. Additionally there were other parts in the movie were text would come on the screen and make words literally pop out at the viewer.
