Star Wars The Force Awakens

Improved Essays
The movie Star Wars the Force Awakens was full intense action scenes and a lot of visual effects. Many of these effects were astonishing. Most of time I could not tell what was real and what was not. Some of the first visual effects we see in the movie are amazing. At first I had no clue if what I was looking at was real or was computer generated. During the first fight, we see several examples of how amazing these visual effects are. The characters involved in this fight were shooting lasers at each other with some spaceship like ships flying above them fighting. At first I knew that the lasers were computer generated images, or CGI, but I had no clue about some of the other things. Another great example of how amazing these visual effects

    For example, when Ava put on the first piece of skin she lingers over it and the camera follows her lingering stare. This moment was easy to miss the first time viewing the film but watching this sequence over and over, it becomes clear that the audience isn’t just being shown the skin, but they are being shown what Ava sees. The camera’s pans and tilts as Ava’s eyes pans and tilts enhance this aspect of the film. In this sequence, Garland utilizes non-diegetic sound to explain to the audience what is happening without dialogue between the characters, even the music doesn’t use words to express meaning, only the melody if used. The soviet montage is another great tool that Garland utilizes in order to give Ava’s character more depth and explanation while she transforms from have a naked robot body to a skin covered robot body without loosing the focus of the audience.…

    Anti-Realism - As it’s not realistically filmed the films using this structure tend to be action or si-fi. It usually is quite surreal which keeps the audience in disbelief. An example of this would be the Mighty Boosh, which is a very surreal and alternative form of anti-realism due to the fact that it is very strange and also quite dream-like. We know this because in one scene the two protagonists are buried to their necks in sand and shots where smoke was coming off one of their heads.…

    The Fake Three months ago, Yeon Sangho’s zombie thriller Train to Busan was all the rage in Asia, as it received both critical acclaims and audience’s love. Even then in May, amongst the line-up of melodramas and arthouses from auteurs all around the world, it stood out as an entertaining and commercial thriller, though this is just the first take on live-action from the 39-year-old South Korean director who packed on his back only several animated movies, most notably The King of Pigs and the topic of this article - The Fake. Though these two, Yeon demonstrates a routine of establishing controversial civil issues, which are deeply rooted under the flashy surface of this East Asian country, into his works, and sometimes the harsh, naked truth is laid bare in an uncivilized manner, leaving viewers with doubts whether Yeon just exaggerates the problems to achieve his desired artistic impacts.…
