What interests you most? I find it thought-stimulating to ponder the content of the written play itself and its shortened movie version. Does an adequate shortened movie means that certain parts of the written play was unnecessary or not important enough? This leads to the discussion of whether the written play or the movie gives the most authentic and accurate portrayal of the Laramie incident. What strikes you most?

Analysis of The Dark Knight Rises And The Dark Knight Movie Posters Andre Charles St. Joseph’s College With an onslaught of movies being produced these days, it is apparent that a catchy, eye-catching poster should be created in order to get a hold of a particular audience. Two movie posters from the Batman franchise will be analyzed and broken down into various components. Different visual strategies used in each image will be assessed on how they impact its target audience.

Gerald Graff, on the other hand, would commend A Walk to Remember as an art form that gives rise to many debates and arguments about the movie and that gives viewers a chance to prove their intellectualism outside of the academic realm. By exploring their opposing arguments with respect to A Walk to Remember and the movie’s historical context in romance films, one can reach a conclusion about the effects of the movie on audiences and whether or not these effects are considered positive or negative. A Walk to Remember began as a novel by well-known author of romance novels, Nicholas Sparks. It was written in 1999, and Sparks shares that there was a rather strong inspiration behind the writing of it. Sparks loosely based the novel off of the life of his younger sister, who developed cancer at a young age (Sparks).
The play “The Tempest” by William Shakespeare and the movie version directed by Julie Taymor in 2010 have several significant differences in the characters, relationships and themes.

These themes are both present in the movie and the play, but they are altered by the fact that the main character in the play is Prospero and in the movie it is a witch named Prospera. Comparing the play with the movie, there are several differences in the way the characters are chosen, how they act and how the surrounding is set out.
I am going to look at if a film portrayal can be a truthful representation of a historical period in time using Pride And Prejudice as an example. When looking at the text in comparison to the 1995 mini series by the BBC it is apparent that the 2005 film has taken a very different approach and represents the lifestyles and environments extremely differently. I am going to attempt to prove or disprove that a film can or cannot give an accurate historical representation of the period and form some sort of conclusion from it. I firstly began by looking closely at the opening scenes of each of the films and the differences in the representations. Reviewing the opening sequence of Pride And Prejudice (BBC 1995) we begin with a ‘misted’ camera shot panning over elegant embroidery and refined materials to a classic piano soundtrack, connoting elegance and class as the camera slowly pans through an array of pinks and creams, the materials are lavish and very expensive looking, again connoting class and elegance and establishing ideals for the opening scene.

In the analysis, examples will be drawn from a range of sources to contrast the inferential requirements of portrayals in each medium. There is a focus on two film adaptations in particular, Apocalypse Now and Trainspotting. The former, according to Stam (2005) would more intertextual in adaptation than faithful to Conrad’s novel. It uses a range of strategies to convey the text’s themes in an alternate context which illustrate the choices the director makes in order to balance the depiction and assertion of the narrative. The second adaptation employs highly visual depictions of mental processes which challenge the notion that viewers can only infer mental activity.
