Point of view/ Perspective
Gisaburo Sugii's 1974 Jack and the Beanstalk uses a third person point of view that switches between different perspectives. The main perspectives used are those of Jack and his pet dog; when depicting the antagonists' movements the story is told through Hekuba's and Tulip's perspective.
Sugii uses songs to help flesh out each character's intentions and state of mind, better depicting their personal perspectives. It is difficult however, to tell if a character is having an inner monologue, or if they're actually singing aloud during theses scenes.
Camera
This version of Jack and the Beanstalk is very character driven. There are a few wide shots that establish a setting. Most shots that depict environmental changes also show characters moving through or interacting with the space. There are quite of few close up shots of the characters' faces
and medium shots depicting their interactions with one another. When depicting the witch Hekuba, Sugii jumps between wide shots and extreme close ups that focus on her eyes.
