This creates an impression between the director and viewers giving a more desired effect. Moore uses low and high camera angles to capture emotion and show specific people as important or unimportant. High camera angle throughout this film is used to show the lack of importance of a subject or to simply make one look weak and insignificant. Low camera angle is incorporated into many scenes. In the scene where Moore successfully wins the battle against K-Mart selling bullets he is viewed by a low camera angle, which implies his power and capability.
The Coen brothers’ characters are, when all is said and done, quite unique. They do not follow the traditional model of their respective roles. However, there is an overriding sense of normalcy throughout the movie. Thus, by juxtaposing the conventional and unconventional, the Coens are able to create a world that is entirely their own, but still maintain key aspects of the film noir genre; such as the ability of normal people to commit crimes and the notion that everyone is on their own. Marge Gunderson is, possibly, the best example of how the Coens use juxtaposition to both enrich the film as well as break it from traditional modernist ideals.
It does this by adding taste and rhythm to it, especially the personification. For example “The dark sky, filled with angry, swirling clouds”, or “Gusts of wind made bits of paper danced between the parked cars”. The point of view in “The Treasure of Lemon Brown” was third person limited and only describes Greg’s thoughts of feelings to the reader. The point of view was key in the story because without much detail about everyone else, we were able to zoom the scope in on Greg more and examine the minor
For example when Oberst says "Don't give me any of your lip black boy" Virgil is more harmonious when reacting. Virgil in the novel is also more modest then that of the movie. His arrogance and self image in the movie lead him to be demanding and react with greater force. For example when Virgil is done looking at the body the first time he hands a white man his coat to deal with, showing that his conceitedness leads him to act insistent. Also he deals with racism differently.
Film Assignment The opening to the film starts with the batman symbol appearing out of the blue flames. The viewer can instantly recognize the batman symbol so the viewer is able to indentify what the film is going to be like. The opening shot seems to set the standard for the rest of the film by being dark and sinister. This opening scene starts non- diegetic sounds which seems to add to the dark opening of the film. The next scene starts with an extreme long shot which establishes the scene of a busy American city centre.
* How is his relationship to his sister? - His relationship with his sister is a close relationship; it seems that she is the only one that really understands him. * Which cinematic means (filmiske virkemidler) are used to convey these impressions (kamera movements, framing (billedbeskæring) colours, editing rythm, light (high key or low key), different shots (from extreme long shot to extreme close up), and perspectives)? - In the city its always low-key, and the use very close-up shots to convey a very claustrophobic feeling. In terms of his freedom, he is showing a lot of freedom when the 360 degree pan in the mountain.
Analysis of Colors in “No Country for Old Men” (2007) As events of the movie occur on the 70s, the main colors of the movie were yellow and blue, which gave the feel of that time. The collaboration between the cinematography and the production design were so harmonious, as the picture is constantly giving a certain feelings that were constant through out the whole movie, colors were so washed off instead of being hard direct colors, which reflects the feeling of “Old”. The landscapes wide shots were so remarkable due to the unique style of the cinematographer “Roger Deakins” which used overexposure in a stylish way, the landscapes shots were harsh and burnt, the time of day that was chosen for taking those shots were important as almost all the wide shots of landscapes were shot at mid-day, other shots like the river chase and the Mexican mariachi band were captured in a completely different time of the day, early morning I suppose, which gave a contrasted feel. Lights of the interior night scenes were yellowish tungsten all the time, specially the scene when Llewellyn goes back home to his wife after finding the money and the gun. And the scene when he discovered the tractor device inside the money and the time he was expecting Anton arrival to his hotel room, he turned off the side lamp and a spot of light from the streetlights were lighting the doorknob.
Regardless of the genre (drama, comedy, romance), a film score can add to nearly any scene. In an action scene, the music will match the action in terms of power and intensity. In a comedy scene, the music can be expected to be as light or silly as the action taking place in the scene. In a horror film, the music is atonal, which means that is not related to a tonic note and therefore has no sense of key. Thirdly, music can establish the mood at the beginning of a movie or scene.
I think that anything from a good plot to a great chemistry on camera makes a movie enjoyable to me. When a film can put together the right mixture of action, drama, great acting, and realism, I am usually it's biggest promoter. Let me tell you what makes a film un-enjoyable. One of my biggest issues with films today involves realism, or lack thereof. I cannot stand it when the guy shoots a car and it blows sky high – lifting ten feet off the ground or flipping over.
Prof. Tony January 4th, 2011 WO4B Response Paper First of all I think that the title fits within the main idea of the story, because whenever there is a problem they bring out only one character which becomes the solution to all problems known as “The Godfather” The movie basically starts of from the same part where the book had started from. There was an equal flow from both the book and the movie. It starts from the part where Amerigo sits in the court room which seemed most like a small private room. By reading the selections from the original text and then watching the movie my reaction seemed not too thrilling and not too boring. But I was disappointed to the fact that the way the author had described the scene of the court room in the novel, in scene one…it didn’t perfectly come up to my expectation level because the novel had more details and it was easy for me to visualize it clearly without any struggles or any difficulties.
