Often women are seen more as property and an assumption that they must be submissive and less powerful then the men in their lives comes into play and discourages them from following their dreams. Ne-Yo portrays to his audience that it is more respectable to be a leader rather than one who follows others. He, being a popular and talented performer, makes the message in this song impact his fans, especially
Then the tag line appears. “Pardon our dust, the all-new Gap is coming” (Angelg06, 2006). This commercial did a great job at engaging its viewers. It was informative as to the fact that the stores will be undergoing some remodeling and it was hilarious in driving that point home to the audience by grabbing their attention with camera techniques, clothing and mannequins all over the place and other captivating visuals. Directed by Spike Jonze the man behind Being John Malkovich and Adaptation (Spike Jonze, n.d.), the spot is hilariously funny.
I chose to watch the movie A Hard Day’s Night. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this film! I wanted to try and pick an earlier movie of them so it would go along with what we are learning in this class. I felt it really captured the energy and charisma of The Beatles in their early years. Their playful enthusiasm brought out the innocence of the early sixties and took me back to that time period when everything was all good.
The comedic factors in this movie helped the audience feel more at ease watching fellatio being projected onto mega screens in theatres. The comedic relief techniques used in Deep Throat were; sound effects and the portrayal of protagonists (Linda Lovelace’s) bubble brain. The sound effects used where those of bubble machines; in the intimate scenes, right as the actor begins to climax, the audio mutes and all the audience can hear are the bubbles and subtle moans. The sound of the bubbles lightens the mood completely and acts as a comfort blanket for the audience, to decrease the levels of awkwardness in the room that would be caused by obnoxiously loud groans, which classical porno’s are known for. The other sound effect the director used was ice-cream van music in the background of scenes where Linda’s naïve nature is taken advantage.
Shakespeare uses language, structure and dramatic devices to convey and create the effect of strong emotions through his ambitious characters, which is similarly portrayed in laboratory with the narrator’s strong and bitter emotions towards her husband’s infidelity. These characters can also be compared to the narrator of Porphyria’s lover whose intense emotions of love become too overwhelming for him to handle. Both Shakespeare and Browning show Elizabethan society as patriarchal, where men were considered to be the leaders and women subservient. Women were regarded as the weaker sex not just in terms of physical strength, but also emotionally. Women were also depicted as kind and caring as well as being the perfect mother and housewife, on the other hand men were portrayed as brave, strong and loyal.
Within the first few seconds of the date sequence, viewers are given a stylized over the should shot at Ray Liotta, allowing the audience to seamlessly adapt to his character's narration and the scene at hand. The camera work is fluent with the sound, cutting to different shots while retaining Henry's narration. The simple zooming in and out, panning over, and separate shot's of the two couples all flow with the sound of the character's speaking and the background noises of the restaurant to create a realistic feel for the setting. The editing is smooth with good use of cinematography, linking the shots, each different frame important yet unnoticed. As the sequence moves forward and Karen begins narrating, the camera focuses on her with a close up and zooms out allowing the audience to see her upset expression focused on Henry.
Although both Preston Sturges and Frank Capra use imagery and comedy to deliver messages in their respective movies, Capra’s ability to express his ideas in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington regarding perseverance conveys a much more poignant message, despite Sturges’ more recognizable views about smiling through the pain in his movie, Sullivan’s Travels. The comedic elements of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and Sullivan’s Travels add to the theme of each movie, subtly giving away major plot points. Both movies draw the audience in with the use of farce, such as when Sturges has Sullivan and his companion pushing each
After watching the Bud Light- Swear Jar commercial, I can interpret that this commercial was made to entertain. The commercial made me laugh by bringing something that might offend others like cussing and making it funny. By having this situation occur in a place where you would not think this act would take place in reality, like an office environment where people would be more professional made it interesting. This commercial has a professional environment but what catches your attention is the fact that this would not normally happen, which of course, made it funny to make you want to see it again. Thus, people will continue to talk about it.
Romeo is hopelessly in love with Rosalind which he explains when he says, "I am too sore enpiercèd with his shaft To soar with his light feathers, and so bound, I cannot bound a pitch above dull woe. Under love’s heavy burden do I sink" (1.4.19-22). Romeo says that he is too much in love to be able to be happy because the kind of love that he has is a burden. The love that Romeo has is good because he likes being in love, but it makes him sad and it is a burden for Romeo. He wants to be in love and be able to be happy, but right now he is wounded by
But when the typical music arouses, the alluring tunes make every subtle segments starts to change, and the love flowing between the two is tinted as mysterious and surreptitious. The flowing emotion of protagonists gets clearer to audiences by the hinted score which meanwhile enhances the ambivalence of both of the man and woman. Vagueness seems the ever-lasting theme of the film but of which the typical score penetrates some of the vagueness by making hints to try to define the exact motion of the protagonists, though still leaving other scenes being unclear in order to keep the ambiguous relation of the man and the woman and whole film in the sense of ambiguity. The theme of the score is a little bit old, which the director comments as contradictory but nevertheless so sexy in a way. If listening to the music without watching at the scene, we can get some basic characteristic and main idea of the score.
