It means that camera is pen and the director is the author of the film. Film itself is an expression. Film is not just entertainments; it is the thoughts of director, although it is abstract. The films are unique and there are significant and character in the films. Moreover, Francois Truffaut emphasized on mise-en-scene of a film.

Classical and Post-Classical Hollywood Cinema INTRODUCTION During the course of this essay it is my intention to discuss the differences between Classical Hollywood and post-Classical Hollywood. Although these terms refer to theoretical movements of which they are not definitive it is my goal to show that they are applicable in a broad way to a cinema tradition that dominated Hollywood production between 1916 and 1960 and which also pervaded Western Mainstream Cinema (Classical Hollywood or Classic Narrative Cinema) and to the movement and changes that came about following this time period (Post-Classical or New Hollywood). I intend to do this by first analysing and defining aspects of Classical Hollywood and having done that, examining post classical at which time the relationship between them will become evident. It is my intention to reference films from both movements and also published texts relative to the subject matter. In order to illustrate the structures involved I will be writing about the subjects of genre and genre transformation, the representation of gender, postmodernism and the relationship between style, form and content.

Your Name: Ilya Van Nieuwenhuyse Extended Essay Advisor: Ms. Anson TOK Teacher: Ms. Geistbrech Word Count: 3975 Date : October 27th 2014 Abstract The primary focus of this extended essay is to examine how Eisenstein has changed and modernized film through development of his five techniques of montage. Eisenstein’s first theory Tonal, manipulates the clip to elicit an emotional response from the viewer. His second theory Metric, focuses on consistent cuts after a specific number of frames. This effect is used to force the audience to feel a certain way. Eisenstein’s third theory is Rhythmic, where unlike metric, the cuts are more random and usually synced to the tempo or beat of the background music.
Film Theory Münsterberg and Arnheim: Theoretical Interpretations of Sound in Cinema Separated by an entire generation, the cinematic premises of Hugo Münsterberg and Rudolf Arnheim lay the primary structural foundation for understanding how and why film affects the human mind so profoundly and differently from all preceding art forms. Although these theoreticians have made their own respective contributions to the core assumptions of film theory, their analyses converge in the particular lens through which they choose to assess the phenomenon: the psychoanalytic paradigm. From this perspective, Münsterberg and Arnheim are able to fully dissect film’s facets and explain their construction as well as their consequences on the viewer. How these aspects combine with one another forms the crux of film’s effect on the human brain, thus expanding the ontology of the medium beyond the sum of its immediate parts and into the realm of its perceptual impact. It is from this vantage point that one needs to assess all characteristics of film, including the development of sound.
The first characteristic that Rosenstone has said is present in commercial historical films is the reliance upon a linear story that ends with a moral message. I think that this characteristic can be found in this film, to an extent. Sophie Scholl: The Final Days clearly does have a beginning, a middle, and an end. There is a moral message that is a theme throughout the film, but in compliance with Rosenstone’s characteristic, the film concludes by reiterating the moral message that was the theme throughout the film. At 01:49:04, “Long live freedom!” is the last phrase spoken by one of the main characters (Breinersdorfer & Rothemund, 2005).

I am going to look at if a film portrayal can be a truthful representation of a historical period in time using Pride And Prejudice as an example. When looking at the text in comparison to the 1995 mini series by the BBC it is apparent that the 2005 film has taken a very different approach and represents the lifestyles and environments extremely differently. I am going to attempt to prove or disprove that a film can or cannot give an accurate historical representation of the period and form some sort of conclusion from it. I firstly began by looking closely at the opening scenes of each of the films and the differences in the representations. Reviewing the opening sequence of Pride And Prejudice (BBC 1995) we begin with a ‘misted’ camera shot panning over elegant embroidery and refined materials to a classic piano soundtrack, connoting elegance and class as the camera slowly pans through an array of pinks and creams, the materials are lavish and very expensive looking, again connoting class and elegance and establishing ideals for the opening scene.
