Of Mice and Men-Chapter Two Literary Analysis The setting of the bunk helped to reinforce the tone. The bunk house is a long, rectangular building, with a very simplistic description (pg 17). Inside the walls are white washed and the floors are unpainted. It really gives this messy, unorganized, and this worn out feeling. It’s really a “get the job done and leave” kind of a place.
The room would be silent if it weren't for the quiet, diegetic sound of Ofelia scratching the door on the stone wall with the magic chalk. Once the door opens, a medium shot of Ofelia from inside the tunnel dissolves into an extreme long shot positioned further backward through the chamber, revealing the size and beauty of it to the spectator.

We then see a close-up of the hour glass and are aware of the diegetic sound of the sand trickling through, highlighting the fact that Ofelia has a limited amount of time, and must return with the golden dagger before the last grain of sand falls. A non-diegetic sound of haunting music is heard, forecasting an unpleasant visit into the lair.

At the beginning of this scene we see Norman leading Marion into a dark, mysterious room; this gives us a sense of danger. Also as we see Norman in front leading, this shows us that he is the superior character in this scene.
In some films, viewers can turn the audio completely off and still have an idea of who the characters are and what traits they possess because the filming techniques were done properly and effectively. Viewers are able to acknowledge these traits or “vibes” from the way the camera is placed and what has been placed within the frames of the film. In the Coen Brothers’ film, “Fargo”, the first technique used to express Jerry Lundegaard as a trapped or powerless character is the photography aspect of the film. In one of the opening scenes of “Fargo”, there is a medium shot of Jerry Lundegaard apprehensively entering a bar full of people.

“All Directors have their own unique style”. Tim Burton is a great director and like most great directors, Burton has his own unique style. His style is unusual, strange, and gothic.

One huge difference that I noticed between the way the action scenes were shot in both movies were the perspectives. In Braveheart, Gibson really got up close and made you feel as if you were in the battle yourself. He showed all the battle scenes from a soldiers point of view which made it all the more enjoyable.
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.
