Kuch To Hua Hai - Analysis

The most recognizable feature in this film is the costumes. This is because the costumes show the ethnicity of the people in the production and also shows the culture that should be expected in the movie. An example of this is 1.45 of the production where the clothing and the throwing of the red powder shows the obvious indian tradition of marriage so instantly we astabolish that this movie is indian based and is going to be based on a love story.

Each characters clothing is fitted to their role in the prodcution. The 'friend' of the 3 way relationship often wears standard clothing in which i mean she doesnt try so hard with the way she looks and doesnt try to look her best ( 0.28 of the production is a good example of this ). She often wears casual,boyish and loose clothes to show the audience she is just the friend of the relationship by resembling it through the style of her clothes and the other female character is made obvious to be the first love interest due to the fashionable, girlish type of clothing she wears ( shown in 0.50 of the production ). The male character in the production is always wearing smart-casual clothing to show a sense of obvious attraction due to the way he always potrays himself to the female characters (part 1.30 of the production shows this). He is always dressed in darker colours compared to the female characters and this somehow shows the audience that he is in the middle of the relationship since the female charcters stand out much more.

The lighting of the production is very natural and always in daytime. This is too show the passion and the youth of the love between the characters. This is also to give the audience a fairy tale like vibe of the production due to light having the obvious connotation and referrence of pure, good and youthfulness. The use of lighting also matches the genre of the production (love stroy/drama)and makes the production seem very sentimental and 'touching'. Its also gives a hint of a happy ending.

The music of the production gives an obvious representation of the type culture and tradition and maybe typical story line to expect in the production due to its in another language. The music is soft and has 'magical' sound effects (1.45) that once again give us the feel of a fairy tale story and has a repetition of 'baby i love you' (1.45) which then automaticaly suggests the genre of the production is 'love/drama'.

The camera angles of the production have been used wisely. The production has a range of shots such as long shots, close-up shots, mid shots and big close up shots. They used each shot in a very wise way to give off a proper effect for example right at the start of the production there is seporate close up shots of all 3 main characters and this is to show the audience right from the beginning who the characters actualy are.

The setting of the production matches the idea of the story being a love story with a natural/youthful effect. For example some shots are taken in places of open greenland which gives that natural effect by using nature as its connote and the youthful effect was given off by setting the scenes in 'young' places such as parks (1.24) and also the actors themselves are young so it gives the obvious connote to youthfulness as well as the setting.
