An Actor Prepares

According to Mee and Dowling (2003), films are cultural products which represent places and their people, and therefore bring a perception of the world. Analyzing film seems to be a fascinating way to see how intercultural concepts represented in the world, and among people. My big fat wedding also is a popular Hollywood film which is relevant and valuable to the course of intercultural communication. My big fat Greek wedding is a Canadian-American romantic comedy film directed by Joel Zwick,…

At the beginning of the play, Sheila Birling is shown to be very energetic and enthusiastic about life. The opening stage directions play an important role in presenting the character before she changes dramatically. She is described as "a pretty girl in her early twenties, very pleased with life and rather excited." Priestley has decided to describe her as a ‘girl’ because it represents the immaturity of her character as seen through Act 1. Immaturity is a key theme at the start of the play;…

Samantha Lopez Vrooman Film Studies November 2, 2014 Jules and Jim Film Analysis Trying to comprehend this film was hard because to read the subtitles and trying to look at the scene of where the characters were at felt like the audience had to choose which one was important, the conversation between the characters or scenes of where the characters were at to make the plot. This understanding between the scenes and the words connect with the film of Catherine choosing between two men. This…

we don’t love the actor who plays our favourite character, we might not be able to enjoy a film. This paper suggests that the use of well-established Disney characters in the 1983 adaptation of A Christmas Carol, “Mickeys’ Christmas Carol” makes it viable for the novelette to be condensed to a 25 min short film. It further argues that the appropriateness of certain casts is dependent on the shortness of the video. It also establishes that the existence of a backstory for each actor in the movie…

Leonard Quart & Albert Auster (2011), they reveal that films have the ability to evoke the mood and tone of a society in a particular era. However, there was a time when a number of historians and social scientists were hesitant about accepting this truism. By films, one means not merely documentaries, which obviously directly capture something of the reality of people’s lives and feelings, but also mainstream Hollywood commercial films. It is not only that these films sometimes convey and…

commerciality than its own theatrical production. With its Broadway priced tickets, private event offers which include very expensive drinks and gift shop they focus on getting your money than actually doing their theater. It gets to such a point where the actors reappear and attempt to sell souvenir programs! The set design doesn’t look like a hotel and makes little sense to the original text. Furthermore the show has staggered arrival times but ironically they make you wait outside and later…

1. Identify the film’s title, director, AND production designer (or art/visual designer). I watched the film Shawshank redemption. It was directed by Frank Darabont, and the production designer was Terence Marsh. 2. What is the focus of this film? Explain using examples from the film. I was undecided whether the focus should be the truth of human nature or the struggle for human dignity, but I think that it should be the struggle for human dignity. I say this because the main character was a…

created confusion in the audience because some actors were not heard or the dialogue did not make sense. In addition, there was not a leading antagonist or conflict throughout the play. It was not made clear what the conflict was until towards the ending of the performance. However, I respect that the actors tried the best of their capacity to end the scene smoothly. In summary, the play was a tremendous example of the high level high school actors can reach. Each and every member of the cast…

to evaluate is “The Green Mile”. In the film a man is wrongly accused for the murders of two young girls. He is then thrown in jail and sentenced to death row. The three areas of criteria that I find are the backbone of this film are the story, the actors, and lastly the setting of the film. The most important aspect of this film for examination is the story of “The Green Mile”. Stephen King (author) and Frank Darabont (director) did an exceptional job when it comes to the story of this film. As…
