It is here that the film gains momentum and a shift in focus as the audience is given insights into the art of making films and details of cinematic history. The beauty and cinematic design of these scenes makes them worthy of close study as do other sequences in the film such as Hugo’s nightmare which recreates the famous 1895 train derailment at Gare Montparnasse. Beyond the stunning visuals and 3D effects there are so many elements to this film that engage the audience and create a wonderful cinematic experience that any class would enjoy, and benefit from, studying it. The film received enormously positive reviews, with many critics praising the visuals, acting
(docs 3, 4, 6, 8). The promotion of the pestle and mortar invention by the mythological emperor Fuxi showed the positive attitude the Han had towards new inventions (doc 3). As a new creation this invention was widely used and praised but as improvements were made to the pestle and mortar their benefits were significantly increased. The author, Huan Tan, felt that new inventions were beneficial to the Han society and clever improvements made the benefits made mythological emperor Fuxi’s creations even better. This is the POV because he is praising Fuxi’s invention and is explaining its widespread use in the society.
This scene takes place about an hour into the film. The director’s intention with this scene was to show the second task Ofelia had to complete and to set up the conflict between Ofelia and the underworld. This film was made in 2006, where special effects were high tech and very realistic. This is reflected in the film and how heavily it relies on fantasy effects such as fairies and the Pale Man. It is highly regarded for its fantastic special affects use, winning an Academy Award for “Best Achievement in Makeup” among others.
The Matrix and Terminator II as Blockbuster Films The word ‘blockbuster’ was originally created by the spectators, however, the term came to represent a high-budget production aimed at mass markets that had a widespread popularity and achieved enormous sales in all its forms. The importance of a blockbuster is that it typically tries to combine particular effects with art, or in other words, it tries to use special effects in order to make a film succeed and target its audiences productively. Wachowski brother’s The Matrix (1999) and James Cameron’s Terminator 2 (1991) both illustrate recent attempts to lure audiences by using special effects, especially computer-generated special effects. Both films are in a way renowned for their appeal as spectacle as opposed to as narrative. The Matrix and Terminator 2 are both admired and recognized for their special effects rather than the narrative alone, which drew massive audiences.
The mise-en-scène greatly affected my perception of this movie in a positive way. This is one of my all-time favorite movies. The acting in this movie is extremely incredible. Bruce Willis who’s character was Lieutenant A.K.
He enlisted terrific actors; some of them had already held their roles; in movies that they had previously starred in. That was a function that linked the star and character together. Robert Downey Jr. played Tony Stark in "Iron Man," he brought a lot of sophistication and humor to the character. In "Iron Man 2," he took the cockiness and entitlements of his character to a new level. In "The Avengers," he brought the attitude back; where the viewers first fell for Stark, the Smart - Millionaire - Playboy whose superpower was in a special heart-metal sheath.
Soon after working with Spielberg, Columbus began directing movies of his own. The two films analysed in order to observe and critique the work of Columbus as a director will be Harry Potter and the Sorcerers stone as well as a recent film, Percy Jackson; Lightning Thief. Both films were a big hit and made Columbus well known as a successful director. Firstly, his style was shown and kept throughout both films in the story and with the characters. Secondly, his camera work and story building allowed the audience to feel the film in a more intimate way.

Of Mice and Men by Nobel Prize winner, John Steinbeck, is a globally famous novel, capturing its audience by encompassing universal themes that are truthfully realistic in depicting human existence. The director, Gary Sinise, modified the text to accommodate the cinema without losing the essence and meaning of the novel. Thus, Sinise utilized the basic elements of film, such as cinematography, lighting, costumes, plot, sound, acting, and casting, to ensure the themes, relationships, plot and overall message was centralised. The novel is renowned for its pragmatic message of life itself. If excretes realism in the way it characterises life as a constant strain in which one must contend with numerous obstacles, like the protagonists, George and Lennie.
The film’s acting, storytelling, sound, editing, cinematography, and all other critical analysis is superb and makes for an extraordinarily good movie. Therefore, I will be explaining how all of these filmmaking components works together to make one of the greatest movies of all time. I will explain the message of freedom and hope that was transported through the storyline. This movie has made Andy’s escape extremely intriguing because the technique they used made his escape surprising, because his new best friend thinks he is going to kill himself and if that is what Red believes, that is what the audience is meant to believe as well. However, throughout this story we understand that we truly care about these characters even though they are convicts.
