When it was made:

The three musketeers was the movie I decided to watch and review. The film is a 2011 3d adventure core product based on the novel of the same title. The novel was written by Alexandre Dumas. Paul W.S Anderson is the director of the core product and is well known for other movies as such the resident evil movies. Paul W.S Anderson also known as Paul William Scott Anderson is a British film director, screenwriter and producer who works on filming science fiction movies and a few video games.

The director has used various techniques within the film. He has included a range starting from close up shots, long distance shots, high angle shots, very quick snappy shots and more.  Due to the three musketeers being based around the romantic, historical sub genre the director has made sure that the historic art of the movie remains the same. The director has used the exact same storyline however they try to change some elements of the movie so that the audience do not lose interest. The core product has a lot of quick angle shots because of the drama. They have used high contrast and brightness within the core product because the director wants to make the audiences see the huge development from the last movie to the new one.

Directorial decisions change the final film as they look at the conventions of the core product and they analyze the previous core product. They would observe the previous films and because the three musketeers were originally made during the 1997 there has been numerous copy of the film made throughout the years.
