Schindlers List Question relating to Techniques used to create an affect Techniques - Black and White filming Documentary Style filming Cinematography – in particular panning and close ups Affect – Overall makes the film realistic Directors intention - shows the true horrors of the Holocaust In the film ‘Schindler’s List’ directed by Steven Spielberg the techniques of Black and White filming, documentary styled filming and cinematography are used to create the affect of realism in Schindler’s List.’ It is the director’s intention through using these affects to show the audience the true violence and horror of the holocaust with no bounds. The majority of ‘Schindler’s List’ is shot in black and white. Black and white filming makes the shocking images of the holocaust seem authentic and realistic as they are reminiscent of wartime film footage of the 1930’s and 40’s. Black and White filming also heightens the impact of the films violence by portraying the contrast between light and dark, good and evil. An example of the contrast between good and evil, light and dark is in the very first scene of the movie when a candle is lit during a Jewish religious ceremony.

The best movie to combine the film terms of a perfect setting, characters, sound, and perspective. These elements were used so perfectly and so fluently that it nominated for some of the most prestigious awards a movie can grasp.

Both Lubitsch and Blake Edwards were both the most well-known and loved filmmakers of their respective eras. In both instances people would instantly recognize a Lubitsch and Blake Edwards film, so unique was their craft with signature touches. In the case of Lubitsch it was his use of satire, “Why shouldn’t I kiss Mitzi- should I misbehave or not?’ which draws on a element of Brechtian theatre of breaking the forth wall as Dr. Andre Bertier (Maurice Chevalier) speaks directly to the audience. Stimutanelously this element with used in “Pink Panther” By Edwards, in the scene, which prince Dala (Claudia Cardinale) holds a ball in Cortina D’Ampezzo to celebrate the reseizure of her sleigh, Amber by Sir Charles Litton (David Niven). The Greek “cousin” (Fran Jeffries) sings “Meglio Stasera” with her eyes staring through the camera and at the audience in most time of the dance, in additional, the background figures were all sitting properly on the sofa watching her performance by following her dance steps just as if they are audience like we do.
He also appealed to pathos through visual elements, audio track, personal anecdote, and through humor. From the beginning, I strongly got the impression that Al Gore was a rich and important person. The visual elements, the audio track, and through written text, he constantly appealed through ethos, suggesting his power and trustworthiness. This was a very important part of the movie, because ethos eliminates any skepticism from the audience as to whether the argument is credible or not.

Normally Jews were killed in the chambers by carbon monoxide, but that was not enough for Hoess, he needed to go above and beyond with the way he exterminated an entire race.

(1933) King Kong Analysis One of the greatest film scores before 1970 was heard in the famous film King Kong. The film score was written by the Austrian composer Max Steiner and even became known as one of his greatest works of all time. Steiner did a very good job on portraying the monster as a scary and bold character, which of course was exactly what the film writers and producers wanted and overall made the film one of the best in its era. This was achieved by Steiner’s use of strong and harsh sounds to provoke emotions from the audience and the use of mirroring the movement happening on screen with his music in order to keep the audience feeling engaged in the film. At the very beginning of the film, we see a ship sail towards an island through a cloud of fog and begin to hear the first sounds of music in the film.
Gas chambers are a particular sticking point: Holocaust deniers say they were purely a rumor or, if they indeed existed, were not powerful enough to kill — though evidence and history indicate otherwise. And the photographs of emaciated and dying Jews? Attorney Edgar J. Steele, a revisionist, says, "All those pictures of skinny people and bodies stacked like cordwood were actually of Czechs and Poles and Germans [who] died of typhus, which was rampant in the
So distancing themselves, in other words, making them seem as least human as possible, made it easier for the soldiers to commit these horrible atrocious killings. These ordinary people put themselves in the psychological mindset that their victims were lesser than them, or they deserved to die, anything they could think of in order to excuse their killings(164, Browning). This can also be seen in Maus , in regards to some of the horrible executions and killings committed by the Nazi guards. On their march to Germany “In the daylight, farahead, I saw it. KRAK!
Woody Allen: A Great Film Director In movies the film director plays the most important role. It’s the film director’s job to tell the actors what they want them to do, how they want them to do it, and lastly what camera shots the film director thinks will portray the scene the best and most appealing to its audience. Now that you know this I can introduce you to Woody Allen. Many of his movies have been nominated for Oscars, a couple of them are Match Point which was made in 2005, and Annie Hall which won an Oscar in 1978(Woody Allen Biography). They are two opposite types of movies, but you can still see similarities in the way he shot the films.
