As you can see, most come under this aspect. As you can see the majority of my films comes under inter/intra racism. Inter-racism refers to racism between races. Conflict degrades our morality: Our morality is something that we hope to be universal. When we put it into that we can control, these morals could be prevented.
Pygmalion is also an example of monodrama, a melodrama written for one person; a duo drama would be for two people. Post nineteenth century, the melodrama genre was assigned to novels, though was very quickly translated to film, as during the time period, people were eager for stories that focused on heightened emotions and grand tales of joy and despair. It immediately became an important and successful film genre. One of the main problems when it comes to defining melodramas is that the term was used extremely loosely in the 1930s and 1940s. Generally, the word was used to define the majority of all dramas, even including some action films and thrillers, however, melodramas centre around emotion and relationships between the characters, so it is not often that action and thriller movies can fit into the genre.
” Alexandre Astruc In 1948 Alexandre Astruc wrote an article “The birth of a new Avant-Garde: Le Camera Stylo”, in which he expressed the future of cinema will adopt a more personal touch from the film maker, in that, he/ she will “express his thoughts no matter how abstract they can be“ through cinematic language. This gives directors now the opportunity for them to reflect their own style in the way the film is shot, and it also gives them a chance to express any views or thoughts they may have on society and even on life. This type of film making which conventions are the antitheses to mainstream Hollywood cinema, would be called ‘New Wave Cinema’. In this essay I will compare and contrast the stylistic qualities of these new waves films (narrative structure, cinematography, and editing), made 40 years from each other and see how the director has made the film personal to him and what comment on society is making. Breathless (1960) by Jean Luc Godard is the most revolutionary movie of the French New Wave movement.
| The Jilting of Granny Weatherall | Drama Essay | | Cassidy Soehnlein | 12/13/2012 | Professor Shoff ENC1102 | Drama opens many doors for directors because there is a whole new variety of devices one can use to portray a mood or get the reader to feel as the actors do. A book has a theme, symbols, falling actions, a subplot, and many more that are shared with films as well. However, when you read a book you are creating an image in your head as opposed to a film where the viewers are given the image in a completely different way. In Katherine Ann Porter's, The Jilting of Granny Weatherall, many symbols, themes and hints of foreshadowing are presented, but throughout my work I want to analyze all the conflicts that are introduced in this film and what the solutions to those problems are. Throughout the film, many conflicts arise with Granny Weatherall.
Introduction: Joseph Conrad claimed in his 1897 preface to the The Nigger of the Narcissus that above all his aim was to make the reader ‘see’ and D.H Griffith asserted that “[t]he task I’m trying to achieve is above all to make you see” (Spiegel 1976:4). Analyzing these two opinions the difference between the author and auteur’s intentions become clear. Despite the difference in purposes in the world of films, films are generally created from literary sources like novels or short stories because there is the prestige involved in the film’s close relationship to literature, especially literature by authors of high standing. Besides the best stories for films are often to be found in the covers of the novels. There is also the best seller argument.
When discussing a film, audiences will recall its story line or characters to exemplify what the film was about. With an audience so focused on narration, a film’s structure is not decided on lightly. According to Luhr and Lehman, because a film’s narrative is crucial to its success, directors “have mastered a long-established and highly profitable tradition of narrative filmmaking- the classical Hollywood style” (29). The classical Hollywood style of narration requires that a film’s “plot should have a clear forward direction” (Luhr, Lehman 29). Every event should lead cleanly into the next to join in a unified whole.
“The complex rhythms of film resemble those of music and poetry, like poetry in particular, film communicates through imagery metaphor and symbol” (Boggs, Petrie, 2008). There are many ways that motion pictures, which many people consider to be an art form in itself, differ from other storytelling media, such as newspapers, television and radio, because of the uniqueness of it’s communication style. One way is through the constant motion provided in a film, something no other medium provides (Boggs, Petrie, 2008). Film can also address a never-ending list of subjects, such as the worlds created in Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings. With the help of special effects, talented actors and staging there is no limit to the story that can be expressed on film.
We hear slogans such as, “For the closest…,” “If you want the best …,” or even “Guaranteed or your money back.” Yet, one media outlet that manipulates and relies on the use of language even more substantially than these commercials, is the movie and filming industry. Although you will typically view previews, language, music and actions provide the influence and act as the method of persuasion. Aristotle, the author of Rhetoric, would probably have congratulated many of today’s writers for their use of language and their ability to become orators. When we analyze and break down the movie, Karate Kid, we can clearly see the innovation and method that Aristotle found so unique and outstanding. There are several characteristics that can be seen to follow Aristotle’s beliefs about persuasion in The Karate Kid.
The director from Nuneaton is well known for the social content of his movies sustained with a real-life style. Ken Loach is the world’s leading social-realist film-maker and Britain’s most successful director working today. Taking his lead from Brecht and Joan Littlewood, he wanted to make drama in the everyday language of the working class and allow dialogue to be uttered in the actors’ own words. My aims are to underline a possible link between these two subjects, to understand if themes and aesthetics techniques used in the Italian are evident in the work of Ken Loach, and if so, in what ways these influences appear in Loach’s films. Italian Neorealism is considered important because it was the first way of making movies that used new techniques and mixed them with classical styles: for example many scenes were filmed in real settings, the use of non professional actors (at lest in non-leading role) was very common, and the underlining of personal dramas and social problems was at the centre of
FINDINGS RHETORICAL ANALYSIS Filmmaking happens every time someone wishes to film something with a camera whether it is a home video for ‘You got framed’ or release big budget blockbuster for Steven Spielberg. Either way filmmaking is all about organising scenery where in which the camera will identify the object as a sequence or a scene. What we see on screen as an audience is controlled by the one holding the camera; this means the audience is viewing the footage from another person’s perspective of the image. This is also the case of editing where the editor can chose to keep or discard footage for the benefit of the audience viewing experience. The edited piece is often used to create certain effects and motions that are impossible to
