Beautiful Creatures

Beautiful Creatures was a lovely film. It had a great and very creative cinematic effect as well as excellent post production effects. The lovely colors and effects really blew me out of the water. I was just so struck by how gorgeous the film was.

First and foremost I should mention the collection of poetry that Lena collected on her walls. It is a very simple transparent effect that really is a beautiful scene that highlights the importance of poetry toward the character.

Another beautiful scene occurs during a climatic point in the movie. This event in the movie illustrates how much Lena cares about Ethan. The gorgeous visuals are amplified during Lena's argument against her cousin Riley as they fight about Ethan. The spinning table is just wow!! I seriously want to know how they did it because it is amazing!!! If anyone has any ideas on how they accomplished this please share!!

Overall Beautiful Creatures had a great visual effect on the audience and contained a unique paranormal story. I loved the fact that the movie occurred in the south and the actor were capable of doing southern accents. Another effect that I absolutely adored was the fact that the female "dark casters" had eyes that would glimmer a dark brown. The effect had to have been added during post production in which the editor placed an adjustment layer over the clip. It was just really neat! This movie has been added to my frequently watch list because of the gorgeous effects!
