A knights tale

A knights tale has a lot of first person shots. The whole movie was about a boy who wanted to change his stars. The director took this idea and ran with it. As the main character went through different experiences in life it was all filmed from a first person view. The whole movie seemed as if there was a camera and voice recorder inside the main characters head and the whole movie was being taped from inside. I personally like this effect. Especially when the main character is in the middle of a large crowd of people being insulted. It seems like you are actually in his position looking and listening at the crowd. It reminds me of when i was a child and my mother used to scold me in public. The costumes reminded me of prince and the pauper. Although through out most of the movie people were wearing knight costumes when they were wearing regular clothes you could separate the lower class from the upper class by looking at how they dressed.
