Infamous by Douglas McGrath



A film about the context of production of "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote.

Watch the film and pay attention to:

1. First scene with Gwyneth Paltrow. When an actor/actress has a brief appearence in a film it is called "a Cameo appearance"

2. Characterization of Truman Capote: clothes, voice, movement, attitude.

3. Binary oppositions between New York and Holcomb

4. Cinematography: camera shots, editing, mise-en-scene.

In the scene we are just looking at, we can see a low angle shot showing the faces of Al Dewey and other Journalists from Holcomb, all dressed in smar clothes. The previous shot shows a high angle shot of Truman Capote.
