Analysis of The Dark Knight Rises And The Dark Knight Movie Posters Andre Charles St. Joseph’s College With an onslaught of movies being produced these days, it is apparent that a catchy, eye-catching poster should be created in order to get a hold of a particular audience. Two movie posters from the Batman franchise will be analyzed and broken down into various components. Different visual strategies used in each image will be assessed on how they impact its target audience. A comparison between the two will then be drawn based on certain characteristics each poster exhibited. In many respects, there will be a dualistic opposition to the image of Batman who is a hero in the Dark Knight Rises poster and the Joker who is a villain in The Dark Knight poster.
However, use of sound is particularly important to this movie. Hitchcock used sound to set the mood and to keep you guessing at what would happen next. Sound was used to build up to creepy, suspenseful moments and to keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the whole movie. To do this, Hitchcock used not only music, but also many types of background noises such as a radio playing a commercial, street noises, and the sound of people arguing, to set the mood in the beginning. In later scenes, Hitchcock used such things as the phone ringing in the murderer’s apartment right after he finished hiding his wife’s body, and creepy music and footstep noises when the
The impact strangeness has, as a result of the residual of the wreck, affects a larger audience than the injured party, as witnesses and the reader try to understand tragedy. The use of stylist features to describe the aftermath of the automobile accident, keeps the reader focused and allows the reader to relate personally to the subject of strangeness in the poem. The sound work at the beginning of the poem by using alliteration, immediately draws the audience in. “Its quick soft silver bell beating, beating, / and down the dark one ruby flare” (Shapiro 1-2). Alliteration is the repetition of consonants within the first syllable.
Differences between Luhrmans Romeo and Juliet and the original By Kirt Quar There are many differences in the modern and original texts of Romeo and Juliet as the original concentrates on dialogue and poetry whereas Baz Luhrman’s Romeo and Juliet is more associated with camera techniques and visuals. In order for children of younger age to understand, analyze and study the modern text it has been made using many camera techniques and subliminal messages and this is seen in the first helicopter shot when you see the church dividing the two buildings which symbolize the 2 families Capulet’s and Montague’s. Colors are also used to show the separation between the two families e.g. benvolio wears a red shirt whereas Tybalt wears a blue shirt, and when Romeo meets Juliet for the first time he sees her through a blue fish tank when he is standing in a red/gold room. Baz Luhrman’s “Romeo and Juliet” is modernized bringing along with it many changes.
The key dramatic language of drama is presented by the director creating powerful symbolism to then build on the dramatic meaning. Throughout Cosi, the lighting effects are used as a symbol. In Act 1, Scene 1, the lights highlight Lewis’ entrance into a new world, where he then associates with patients who then, help him in his learning and self-development. At first, Lewis possesses a ‘pitch black’ perspective of the world, along with the other characters of Lucy and Nick. This is a representation of their modern beliefs that mix around the politics and the war.
Martin Scorsese, director of Goodfellas, put a lot of effort into making a good, honest mob film. In this film, Scorsese brings the audience onto the never-ending roller coaster that mobsters ride. The status of these men continuously changes as they battle with the streets, addiction, death and the courts. He combines narrative, cinematography, editing, sound and set design in this film to portray the dark lives of the Italian mob. Martin Scorsese directs a very strong narrative in Goodfellas.
“The Tempest” (storm), though he did not know it, was William Shakespeare’s very last play. Many people have argued that Shakespeare based the main character Prospero, on himself, though it is impossible to be sure. This essay is going to explore what techniques Shakespeare used in the opening act and how they are effective, the different ideas Shakespeare was trying to elucidate to the audience, and hopefully give new perceptions on the play. The stage directions used at the beginning of the play are specially chosen to grab the rowdy Shakespearian audience’s attention, using dramatic and dangerous effects. “Tempestuous noise of thunder and lightning heard.” Shakespeare’s plays usually took place in open air theatres at around midday, in the not so upmarket area of London.
In most translations from books to movies, producers sacrifice certain elements to narrow the focus and make the film unique to his style. All productions, except Kenneth Branagh's, cut certain elements and the use of film techniques, compared to the Victorian stage plays, allows different dramatic developments in the story. While Branagh's choice was to present the entire play in an absolute and exquisite language, Zeffirelli chose to compress it for the screen. Each choice has its merits, thus I think it's a mistake to compare the 2 versions. Retaining the originality to the dialogue in the text, Zeffirelli’s “Hamlet” is still unique to the director's vision.
