By posing many questions to the murderers, Macbeth is helping to persuade them. A question can substitute for a request, and while a listener is searching for an answer, the speakers can give his own answer to the question. The listener (the murderers) is more likely to accept it than if it were given as an assertion. Lastly, most of Macbeth’s questions also have
Interviewer: So Nina, you are saying that only a few narrative archetypes exist, but each is just conditioned and created differently to relate to their own contexts and time periods? There must be a reason filmmakers like to stick to these enduring formulas though, like the “Hero’s Transformation” example you used. Nina: As an audience watches a film, they
CINEMASCOPE: Trade name used by 20th Century Fox for its widescreen process. First Cinemascope film was The Robe (1954). The 35mm image is “unsqueezed” in projection to a 70mm image. VISTAVISION: Paramount’s response to cinemascope, an non-anamorphic process that made the 35mm image twice as large. Because of its expense, now used primarily for special effects.
Also, when regarding a historical event, the film production is irresponsible for educational function as they use dramatic license all the time. Even though the film had been blamed for numerous historical inaccuracies, it still succeeded and “[became] the number-one film worldwide for the calendar year 2001,” including Japan (“Pearl Harbor”). However, Pearl Harbor attack is a sensitive and significant subject whose historical contents should be treated carefully, to strike balance between entertaining purpose and educational
Both versions have similarities, but at the same time those similarities contrast both movies to show just how different they really are. The original sets a guideline for the plotline, scenes, and characters, but the remake of the movie added its own twist on those three categories. Another difference, and probably the most drastic, is the differences in the portrayals of the characters. In the original, the main character seemed to focus more on the production and magnitude of the movie he is producing. The main character was focused on making a movie that people will remember, rather than making a movie to get him rich.
Fahrenheit 9/11 versus Loose Change While documentaries can be defined as cinematic pieces built upon facts, there are many ways directors go about presenting facts to their audience according to the type of response they are looking to instill. In doing so, the audience will discover that there are many similarities between pieces, however there are also many differences as well. This is especially true when considering works such as Fahrenheit 9/11 by Michael Moore, as well as Loose Change by Dylan Avery. While both of these documentaries are based on the same event, the story, facts presented, and overall demeanor have similarities and differences. Overall both of these documentaries seem to suggest that our country, often thought of as an invincible superpower, has an imperfect system in our government.
Although Louie Psihoyos has used fundamental aspects of a documentary for this film, such as location shots and interviews with key people, he has diverged from a traditional documentary through the inclusion of visually confronting footage and persuasive filmic techniques. Although The Cove uses many techniques that are used in a documentary, such as straight forward narration and direct and indirect interviewing, it uses certain film techniques that move away from the fundamental aspects of a documentary. Throughout the film the use of “Glittering Generalities” is present. This means to use attractive but vague words that appeal to human values and trigger emotions, without providing any real information. An example of this in the film is Rick O’Barry states “these dolphins are symbolic of a new day for the environment, and If we can't stop that, if we can't fix that, forget about the bigger issues.” This technique is most commonly used in propaganda and was used in WW2 German documentaries, such as ‘Triumph of the Will’, to push Hitler’s message to the people.
The Outsiders, by Se Hinton, was very different from the movie the Outsiders. The book gave a lot move description but I’m glad I saw the movie to get the actual picture in my head. I don’t think people should by separate by the way they look or how much money they have. All people have feelings. If the movie had more detail it would be more interesting.
Filmmakers’ subverted the censorship of the hays code through story implications and film techniques. To better understand the filmmakers’ standpoint and the reasons they resorted to
The technological aspect of film changes the way the myth is distributed, but the core idea of the myth is the same. The basis of modern storytelling in both cinema and television lies deeply rooted in the mythological tradition. Many contemporary and technologically advanced movies often rely on ancient myths to construct narratives. The Disney Corporation is notorious among cultural study scholars for “reinventing” traditional childhood myths (Koven, “Folklore Studies and Popular Film and Television: A Necessary Critical Survey”, 176-195). While many films are not as obvious as Disney fairy tales in respect to the employment of myth, the plots of many films are largely based on the rough structure of the myth.
