Angle

In the movie, V For Vendetta (2005), the different uses of lighting, camera angles and shots have affected my interpretation of the theme of fear and control in the movie and how the government uses fear to control the citizens of London. First, camera angles and shots were used to enhance my understanding of this theme in the movie by use of low and high angles which convey one figure as more intimidating than the other. An example of this is in the scene of the chancellor, Adam Sutler’s first…

From Another Angle by Margaret Himley and Patricia F. Carini, the reading gives many descriptive reviews of different children. In Chapter 2, a descriptive review was performed on a 7-year-old child name Gabriel. He loves snakes and can is very quiet like stated in the reading. As I read through the descriptive review of Gabriel the author emphasize on the importance of elaborating the meaning of quiet and the reasons as to why Gabriel loves snakes. What are the clues presented to state the…

The book that I read over the summer was Surviving the Angle of Death. My feelings on this book were mixed. I liked it but at the same time the book made me very depressed. The whole thing just made me open my eyes to see what is really going on in this world. That is exactly what I wrote in my letter. In the poem i used three types of figurative language. The first type of figurative language is repetition. The next pieces of figurative language is Rhyme. The last pieces of figurative language…

which is Sylvia Weiss. In this interrogation scene, the power of a system and ignorant society was shown with a high angle, low angle and wide shot for cinematography, costume for mise-en-scene and facial expression. In the interrogation scene, Niccol uses cinematography as well as mise-en-scene to show that the power of the system is more powerful than justice. Niccol uses high angle shot and low…

running down the hallway full of Life magazine covers. The angle is known as a Tracking or Dolly Shot. Basically, it is a linear movement of the camera alongside a moving object (Walter). It helps us show that he is running, in a cool and interesting way. It allows us to see this as an exciting moment for Walter. Another example is when Walter jumps on the helicopter and sees Cheryl singing to him below him. This camera angle is called a high angle shot and it is when the camera is placed so…

In the scene “Thirst to Kill” from City of God (Fernando Meirelles & Katia Lund, 2002) we get a glance into Li’l Ze’s horrific childhood and witness how he developed and satisfied his desire to kill. The film faultlessly captures his desperate hunger for power and thirst to kill with the use of lighting, editing, sound, mise-en-scene, and cinematography to implicitly suggest that Li’l Ze’s lack of positive influences, lack of basic necessities, and lack of respect as a child ultimately skewed…

member of the group fiddling with the book will be reffered to as glasses. A low angle shot from behind glasses makes him almost look like his looming over the book as if he is sinister. The lighting is about the same as we have been seeing up until this point but still leaves that erie look as if its always 7am and the fog hasn't cleared. The camera slowly makes its way closer towards glasses keeping the low angle and the omonious music makes it's return again. Volume of the music increases the…

Because of these experiences, he has become a stronger person squelching the rude comments people his culture say about homosexuals. He has developed a sense of relentless when it comes to others ridiculing him and will not stay quiet when that time comes. He is not afraid to speak out even if his own family is the one being rude. He has stayed quiet for too long and now that he has more experience with the oppressions he has had to deal with, he will not tolerate that behavior anymore. For…

“The Equalizer” directed by Antoine Fuqua is a unique Action- Thriller. It is unique in the way certain aspects of “Mise-en-scene” are used. This film is different from those you usual see in this genre because, in the beginning, it doesn’t jump right into the action. The Director takes his time showing us what type of characters the main characters are like, especially the lead character. He makes sure to show us that he is a meticulous and calculated person from the way he shaves his head, to…
