Although the film is set in Versailles, some scenes were taken in various locations around France. Costume plays a very big part in this film – it even won the Academy Award for Best Costume Design. The film makes use of the right clothing of that time, which lends to the film’s credibility. However, costume use in this film was not only to add a sense of realism. At the time of filming, Kirsten Dunst, the actress who played the titular character, was 23 years old.
I have analysed many factors that affect this contrast of convection and unconventional suitability to the genre by looking into the mise-en-scéne, generic convections (such as plot, themes, setting, characters and special effects) and camerawork (such as oblique, long shots, point of view shots, medium shots, close-ups, panning, etc). One of the first things the viewer is experienced with is the choice of colour to emphasize and portray the feeling of the setting and general theme of the film. By this, I mean not only the alteration of colour balance between frames and within the mise-en-scéne generally, but in fact in a much more deep and effective way. An example of this is when in The Matrix, the official intro title animation for Warner Brothers’ Pictures is colourised in the style of a science fictional theme. This is achieved by making the main foregrounded and animated emblem for the corporation green.
Use tools for visual analysis and “The Method” on the film to generate specific, concrete details. You may focus your argument on two or more scenes (roughly 4-6 minute segments), but remember to use “10 on 1” rather than “1 on 10”. Use those details to make an argument about how the film represents an issue, question or phenomenon. WA’s suggestions for X-Y thesis statements (101-2) may be helpful here. For structuring your argument: With your claim and the essays in mind, choose your representative and complicating evidence from the film carefully.
The author also provides the reader with a deep analysis of Kassovitz’s intentions while making this movie and the reasons why La Haine is still popular in France. She even reveals details to demonstrate why things did not change much since the film was first introduced to the public. However, Amy Siciliano only focuses on the way youth is portrayed, but not really on its relationships with women and with the police. Ruggiero, Roberto. Paganini,
I put it into this category because while watching the movie you’re unsure of a lot of things. “Whats going on in that room” “Why are they doing that” and most importantly: “What is Mr. Thornwald up to?” You’re left unsure of things until the very end, and by that time he’s come into Jeff’s apartment and you don’t know if he’s going to kill him or not. It’s a mystery; until everything works out at the very end. 3. What are the principal themes in Rear Window?
Be sure to cite the specific page number of the reading whenever an idea derived from an author is referenced. Example: Shumway (p.xx) refers to the important role of mass media in the spread of rock and roll culture, illustrated in “Jailhouse Rock” by the character Vince Edwards’ upward trajectory from the “backwoods” to a Hollywood film career. Do not use any direct quotes from the readings longer than 1 short sentence – put things into your own words
David Finche’s film Se7en is a gut-wrenching thriller about two policemen's desperate efforts to stop an ingenious serial killer whose work is inspired by the seven deadly sins, this weirdly suspense film goes well beyond the usual police procedural or killer-on-a-rampage yarn due to a fine script, striking craftsmanship and a masterful performance by Morgan Freeman. In a gloomy, unnamed city, new recruit Detective Mills and seasoned veteran Detective Lt. Somerset are investigating a series of murders which appear to be have been based upon the seven deadly sins. With victims mounting and very little to go on, the two men pursue the investigation in their own particular. Camera movement, editing and lighting are all insights for the viewer to seek out the films genre. Camera angles for example, are very personal within this film and give away a lot about Somerset and Mills’ life.
In The Odyssey Circe was one to Odysseus about his up coming obstacles. The movie had a similar person, who didn’t have a name. Even though the sirens are mythical creatures, they are still put into the movie. Obviously this book and movie aren’t exactly the same but the similarities are kind of easy to point out. Odysseus’ whole journey is to return home and be with his wife and son again.
They generally practice large scale money theft, corporate espionage, and are profit based. These organizations utilize skilled hackers to gain access to systems to steal corporate information, spread malware to disable or infiltrate other organizations, again, to disable or
Postmodernist perspective can be applied to a vast variety of cultural fields, as broad as to include literature, art, architecture, sociology, music, cinema, and much more. The film Being John Malkovich can be seen as a paradigmatic example of postmodernism, and I am going to study the ways in which postmodern elements are incorporated into the film in the following paragraphs. One of the main themes of the film is the indefinite identity. After the characters experience fifteen minutes in another person’s body by entering John Malkovich’s portal, their identities waver to the foundation. Recognition of their own sexuality, power relations, and even morality go through major reestablishments.
