Throughout the performance, characters were abruptly entering and exiting the stage through the doors of the apartment. Wintersteen designed the apartment so that each door was visible to the audience, but inside each room was hidden. Consequentially, the actions of the characters inside the rooms were left to the viewer’s imagination, which added suspense during the chaotic scenes. Overall, the stage was designed in a way that gave additional context to the story and promoted the theme of chaos by the efficient placements of exits

Also much of the action in the play occurs indoors. For Hytner, this technique is very smart, because on the set using a majority of the same props is more economical. In a theatre, it is not easy to replicate an outdoor scene, because there are props such as dirt that are not cheap. The thematic element of rain during the arresting of the accused witches brings a feeling of gloom and eerie sadness. Secondly, there are many scenes that were added or adapted into it to make it more dramatic, therefore more interesting.
The theatre based discussion that is conducted on the steps of Margo Channing’s home, is a scene from within Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s film “All about eve” that displays the lights and shadows of characters through the director use of varied persuasive filming techniques It is one of the more commonly techniques used, but the directors use of a variety of camera angles allows the audience to grasp the setting of the scene and let themselves feel apart of the motion of the story by tracking the movement of the characters. It is effectively done that the camera angles have a shift from displaying a long shot of the characters sitting on the staircase (a long shot) to what is known as a medium shot, where it isolates 3 characters. The purpose in the flow of the shots is the long shot allows the audience to establish the scene in their own mind, allowing them to see who is in the scene and their purpose for being there. Where as when the camera becomes focussed on Karen, Richards and Addison a more defined perception on the characters facial expressions and movement can be seen. Secondly, what is known as a tracking shot follows the movement of Margo Channing as she walks up the stairs into her room.
* Discuss your opinion regarding the mise-en-scène. Do the elements appear to work together in a harmonious way? Does the scene seem discordant? Do you think the design elements are congruent with the filmmaker’s vision for the scene? Mise en scene is what the audience sees on the screen, “the most visable part of the film, especially the actors, so much so that for over a century the inclusion of a certain actor has often alone been enough to bring an audience to the theater (Goodykoontz & Jacobs, 2011).
Danielle Wharton In Rear Window, one of the most important parts of the movie is the opening scene. It introduces us to some of the characters that will be seen throughout the movie and also shows the main setting. As soon as the movie begins, it gives you more of a setting that it’s a play that you see at a theater instead of a movie, as the curtain pulls up. It begins with a shot of very close together apartments in what seems to be some type of city. The camera pans over to all the people in the neighborhood and the random activities that they are doing in their apartment, which kind of hints they will be a major part of the movie.
It seems the director shies a way from anything other than a Eye-Level Shot. One of the few times he uses a High-Angle shouts is when Peg is climbing the stairs at the castle up to Edwards’s room. This shot mainly server to show her moving up stairs by not focusing on her face, with a little of it put aside to show she was a tad bit scared about going to a place she has never been. Long-Shots are used when Peg first enters and meets Edward in his room and throughout the movie to show how isolated and distanced he is from the rest of the world. But as the movie progresses Edward becomes part of the community and change starts to take shape, the Long-Shot is used less and less, as he becomes closer to society.
With this background of cultural pluralism, the coexistence of the original American culture of Walt's and the Hmong culture of Sue's family in a situation of a family gathering depicts the cultural diversity of the movie. It is obvious that the language spoken by Sue's family is different from that of Walt's and the food on the table is very oriental however it is not hard for Walt to sense, maybe a little bit shocked, that he is not welcome when the old lady started to yell at him. Walt's rude respond clearly indicates that he is a racist. . In this clip, another cultural component, gender role, is indirectly pointed out as Walt looked around and saw Hmong males are doing women's job, tending the baby, which is totally against his definition as "man".
Industrial Revolution is about quantity not quality. Large homes in Industrial Revolution are entertainments they include library, and ballroom “ dancing hall”. After awhile, these rooms are removed to reduce the coast and make the cleaning easier. Also, kitchens size depends on the house space. However, in bathrooms the manufactured products use a lot such as, the bathtubs and plumbing.
There were the bunk beds used at the camps but the main attraction was in the center where many visitors were around a semi tall structure and inside was a TV. The TV showed scenes of how Nazi doctors performed experiments I then understood the display was covered so children didn’t see the horribleness of what the prisoners had to deal with. On the other side of the TV there was a door of an actual gas chamber and even the chemical used to do the terrible task. This room also included a scale model of the death camps of how the prisoners lived on the sites and how some were sentenced to underground gas chambers. We then all walked into a room with glass walls.
