Similarly, ‘The Sandman’ also has blocks to it, which join like a jigsaw puzzle to make what we know as ‘The Sandman’. The creators of ‘The Sandman’ had to think about lots of different techniques and use them effectively to create meaning and influence on the audience’s reaction. The first important building block to this film produced by Colin Batty, Paul Berry and Ian Mackinnon is the effects of Sound. Sound techniques are used in many different films and in many different ways to create special effects on the audience. For example when some very melodious, happy tune is played, it gives the audience a feeling of a happy atmosphere and a happy general feel about the movie.
Some of the main ideas/the main idea I have explored and developed throughout the film include/is hope, friendship, sympathy with help of various film techniques I have included such as different camera shots and angles, lighting, sound, and mise en scene. The main characters such as Andy Dufresne displayed as the mythic hero and Red being the guide through the film and the other minor characters have also assisted to represent them. The idea I will start to speak about is hope/ Hope is the main idea throughout my film. This is one of the reasons my film is so popular and well-received. It explores this universal theme by presenting characters at the lowest points in their lives and showing that it is worthwhile hoping for things to change.
His pictures not only narrated exciting stories but also broke new ground. Many of his novelties were mechanical, such as his use of the long lens, his liking for shooting with multiple cameras, and his virtuosic editing. Other innovations were tied to his emphasis on details within his films, such as elaborate period costumes and sets, western music, stunning location shots, and detailed miniature sets. There’s not any reason to question Kurosawa’s word that all his films were Japanese and aimed solely at a Japanese audience. However, many writers on the topic saw camera movements or set ups that resembled John Ford, read about Kurosawa’s fascination for westerns and American pulp fiction, and added it up into a bland statement of Kurosawa being an essentially Western film maker.
From then on until today the quality of various animation techniques for live action films were dramatically increasing. So animation and live action films worked hand in hand from their days when they were created. Let’s take a closer look at how animation and live action films cooperate today. What challenges they have to take in order to have an appealing look. We can take as an example “Transformers” Live Action film (2007) (2) and compare it to “The Transformers: The Movie” (1986) 2D animation (3).
Music, Film, and Cartoon “Music and art are similar concepts as they are both trying to explain and express ideas through abstract mediums” (Gilbert, 2007). The similarities of these two are that they are creative and can be understood in many different ways. Almost all arts forms are influenced by music in many different ways. Film is one of the arts forms that are influenced by music. Music makes a film, a movie as well as an animated cartoon more interesting by bring out audiences’ emotion, introducing and setting a tone of a movie, dictating characters’ action, and misleading audiences.
It allows us to become active thinkers and develop the ability to inquire and reflect on the societal concerns, interact and build connectedness with our life choices.

Joseph Nash 15/11/11 Media 10 Wendy Wisely Alfred Hitchcock Auteur Analysis Alfred Hitchcock is one of the most brought up names in the film industry. He is a director that brought many different technical innovations, along with techniques used in camera shots, music, lighting, and editing to capture suspenseful moments in his films and keep audiences on the edge of their seats. He notably put a signature in most of his films with a small cameo, he can be seen in the background walking a dog or reading a newspaper, being fresh out of the silent film era he made innovations in sound and color films cementing his name in film history as one of the top storytellers and the creator of the thriller/suspense genre. Alfred Hitchcock started his career in England, “39 Steps” which came out in 1935 was the first of his films that caught Hollywood’s attention and thus began his American film career.

The third main belief has relevance to social theory, which facilitates explanations of social order, conflict and changes. He articulates that the class difference and societal divisions may limit individual learning capacity. Mezirow assumes that society is made up autonomous, responsible individuals who can act to bring about incremental change to their
To make their anime successful, animation companies have to find ways to make their characters stand out in various ways. One way is through speech. If a character has a different way of speaking to others, then they are more likely to be remembered by the audience. For example, the protagonist, Himura Kenshin, from Rurouni Kenshin, a highly successful anime that ran in the 1990s and has seen multiple live action movies being made based on its storyline, the most recent coming out last September, speaks in a way that makes him stand out from those around him, often making him an easy target and causing trouble to come his way. Being an ex-samurai, Kenshin is a wandering swordsman who clings onto the past – this is evident in his speech.
