Better Off Dead Cinimatography
Better Off Dead, a movie from the eighties, is abundant in amusing cinematography. Almost always tying in with humorous situations, the cinematography in Better Off Dead often creates them. Cinematography is the art or technique of movie photography, including both the shooting and development of the film. In laymen's terms, it's the making of a movie, or "movie art." The movie is noticeably an eighties film. Cinematography throughout the film is particularly notable because it is witty and entertaining. Appearing constantly, it adds entertainment to the classic storyline of unfortunate soul/unpopular boy falling in love when everything else around him is mayhem. Seventeen-year-old Lane Meyer is the main character. His life seams to be a downward spiral as one bad experience follows another. His mother, a ditz who seemingly has her head in the clouds, is a horrible chef. She enjoys attempting to prepare obviously disgusting dinners for the family, despite her investment in TV-dinners as Christmas presents.

Beth, love of his life, has left him for the "popular", superficial, "better looking", captain of the ski team (which Lane unsuccessfully tried out for)," Roy. While just her calves are in the shot, his entire body, head to foot, is in the frame. Crazy neighbors, stereotypical nerds, jocks, and the mailman who is interested in Beth are all things Lane deals with on a daily basis. A different example of Cinematography takes place when Lane enters his brother's smoke filled room, which is overflowing with trashy women. * Cheerleader looking down on Lane, in her panties, with basketball team around her. An additional example is during the scene in which Lane is sitting at the table, drinking coffee, while his cat is eating, cinematography is used. * Girl at the end, similar to Ricky that he meets. When he enters his closet to get a vest, he looks like he's a mile away because he is so small. * Food that comes alive and crawls.
