Andrew Lincoln charmed his way into being one of America’s most popular actors, as starring as Rick Grimes in The Walking Dead.

He has been involved in many small roles, and those small roles lead to a big lead, and a big pick up in his acting career. He has done his fair share of training, by attending acting schools, and doing voice overs. Overall, Andrew Lincoln has worked his way up the…

This is an interesting concept on his movies because he is explaining how what one person thinks, but it someone else. This is just one of the few things that make Tim Burton and his movies so interesting, but the number one thing is something any director can use. The number one thing he does to make his movies, like Edward Scissorhands, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Corpse Bride. It’s incredibly interesting is how he is able to use his cinematic techniques in the movie. If he did not…

The Australian film industry has been around since the late 1800s but it took until 1970s for it to fully start. This is because, during this period, the Australian government started funding feature films through the Film Finance Cooperation. This sparked an era of ‘Comedy Gold’, in which many cult classics such as Crocodile Dundee and The Castle were made, excellent examples of Australians cinema. However, during this period, larger American films swamped the Australian film industry with…

So, why not use real blood in stage/film productions? Well, real blood coagulates (thickens/solidifies to a jelly-like state) in the presence of oxygen, which is not helpful in a performance if someone is supposed to be bleeding out. Blood also darkens during this process. So making fake blood turned out to be a more accessible, effective, and dramatic method of enabling blood effects in a scene. So, According to John Hess, from Filmmaker IQ, the most notable uses of fake blood began in Paris.…

In focusing on a narrative form that he terms as ludic, Newman looks at the work of the teasing inside joke and the enigma of the puzzle film. The word ludic was created around 1940 by psychologists as a way of describing the play of children, and applied to film, Newman informs us that this game-like form “… offers its own rewards, its own pleasures.” As a demonstration of these “pleasures,” Newman reads Pulp Fiction (1994) as a puzzle created for spectator entertainment, that uses the form of…

The studio system was essential in the success of early American Cinema. It ensured that total control of the movies belonged to the biggest studios in Hollywood that made them (Classic Hollywood Central Editors, 2011). The ‘Big Five’ created the studio system to ensure they made the most profit. The ‘Big Five’ consisted of 20th Century Fox, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), Paramount, Warner Bros., and RKO Radio. There were three smaller studios close behind: Universal, Columbia, and United Artists…

picture or painting in the background to completely change the setting of the scene. It doesn't have to be real or interacted with. It only lets the audience assume the setting of the scene is in that location. Where it gets more complicated is when directors use scale modeling to represent something normally many times larger. The titanic was a perfect example of this. They used the 40 foot scale model of the ship instead of needing the 800 foot actual thing. Using camera angles and context…

I give The Godfather four stars out of four stars. It is an excellent movie. The first thing that makes The Godfather an excellent movie is the music score. The music fit with the movie perfectly.

From now on, whenever I hear Rota’s song, I will think of The Godfather. The action is the second thing that makes The Godfather an excellent movie. The…
