How does the author want the reader to feel while reading "The Cask of Amontillado”? Poe wants to feel the unreliableness of Montresor and wants to create the gothic and spooky thrill of stories like his. What techniques does the author use to help you visualize the place, the people, and the events that are taking place within the story? Imagery was used throughout the story to describe the catacombs so that you can picture how dreary and a terrifying place it must be. As well as when Montresor describes Fortunato especially with “the wine twinkling in his eyes”.
TELEVISION SCRIPT Program: “Lights, Camera, Action” Topic: The movie Philadelphia and how it draws upon archetypal characters and patterns Interviewer: Sonya Parer Guest: Nina Clarke Broadcast Date: Tuesday, 6th November 2012 (TITLE SCREEN “LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION) Interviewer: Welcome back to Lights, Camera, Action. Today we have movie enthusiast and literature student Nina Clarke here to discuss archetypal narratives in films. So Nina, I have a basic understanding of the term “archetype” but are you able to explain it in a little more depth in relation to film? Nina: Basically, archetypal narratives are those universal tales, which transcend through time, to the extent that we can almost place every single movie in a category with other movies of a similar storyline. Carl Jung developed the concept of the archetype to explain the commonality of dream images and symbols recognized by people regardless of place or time.
It also introduces a secondary feature of the film: the detachment from reality. In this scene the story The Red Shoes by Hans Christian Andersen, is roughly revisited as a ballet. A woman, played in the ballet by Victoria, buys a pair of beautiful red shoes from a mysterious shoemaker, and wears them to go to the ball. As the ball ends, she is fatigued, but the red shoes are not and force her to continue dancing till her death. The scene starts off as a normal ballet, on a stage with a painted backdrop.
How does the composer use visual techniques to portray the main themes in the film “Run, Lola Run”? Run, Lola Run directed by Tom Twyker and The Scream by Edvard Munch uses visual techniques to communicate messages to the audience and engages them in the experiences that the visual images create, allowing them to view the world in different perspectives. Twyker uses the cyclical technique to show different versions of the same 20 minutes, each time being altered resulting in a different pathway showing that a little can change a lot. The main themes that are portrayed through the use of visual techniques are chance, time and the idea that love overpowers everything. These themes are conveyed through the use of cinematic techniques such as camera shots and angles, editing, animation and background music.
/ The color in your lips and cheeks will fade/ to pale ashes; your eyelids will close/ like death when he shuts up the last day of your life (IV, ii, 100-103).” In this quote, he is describing the effects of the potion he will give Juliet to fake her death. Friar Lawrence helps reveal another characters nature by helping Romeo and Juliet grow in their love for one another, helping the Capulets and the
Through Shakespeare’s play ‘A Mid-Summer Nights Dream’ and the film ‘Chocolat’ the composers have presented similar reflections on the values and attitudes of their times. It is unknown exactly when Shakespeare’s play was written or first performed but it usually dated between 1594 or 1596, probably written for an aristocratic wedding. The film ‘Chocolat’ directed by Lassie Hollstrom was produced in 2001 originated from the 1999 novel written by Joanne Harris. The film is set in France 1959, same time as Shakespeare’s play was performed which is evident by the patriarchal values and attitudes reflected, it was also the error of great change. Both composers have represented beliefs, attitudes and values through the characters that have been constructed.
*These differences should be important. Paragraph 2 Sentence 1: Begin with a transition (The first major difference between the text and the movie is the relationship between Beowulf and Grendel’s mother. In the story, …”) Sentence 2: You would then discuss what happened in the story, use a transition word or phrase (“In contrast” etc), and talk about what happened in the movie. Sentence 3-5 (or 6): After you’ve listed the difference, you will then discuss why you think the movie made the change, and if you think it was more or less effective than the story and why. Paragraphs 3 and 4 Do the same thing you did in paragraph 2, except with different points.
In doing so I will extrapolate on the ideas of the initial article and reveal the ways in which Kazan uses the formal qualities of the film to reinforce the ideas. Given the three-act narrative structure of On the Waterfront, I want to look closely at a number of sequences from each act. From the opening sequence in which Terry Malloy (Marlon Brando) is complicit with the corrupt (Act 1), to his emerging understanding of the corruption characterised by his growing ambivalence (Act 2), to the fight for ‘rights’ (Act 3), the film is rich in its imagery, dialogue and design. There is a careful fusion of all these cinematic elements in the ways that the narrative of conscience, confession and catharsis is played out. For example, throughout the film a strong sense of place is evoked.
The events may be arranged chronologically or nonchronologically and may be factual, fictional, or a blend of the two. (262) Together with narrative, form is another technique often used to narrate so as to attract audiences’ attention. Just as William H. Phillips says: Structure, which some scholars and theorists call form, refers to the parts of a text and their arrangement. In a fictional film, the selection and order of events help viewers comprehend the story and strongly influence how they respond…Fictional structure (characters, goals, and conflicts); some functions of beginnings, middles, endings; combination of different brief stories (plotlines) into a larger, more complex story. (264) Classical narrative form is commonly known as linear narrative which refers to stories told in a single line with logical order and ends with an assured conclusion, usually seen in traditional Hollywood films.
With “the lights off,” Blanche successfully makes sexual innuendos under the pretext of an “old-fashioned,” high-class lady (87, 91). She purposely asks Mitch to sleep with her that night in French, and manipulates their conversation to lead them into a close embrace. Their date continues in the darkness until the blinding “headlight of [a] locomotive glares into the room” and plunges Blanche into the reality of her “lost” love
