    Since it’s mainstream release in early 2016, Robert Eggers’ The Witch has attracted much attention and numerous accolades for its unique and arthouse-esque take on the horror genre. His directorial debut, the story of a devout Christian family terrorized by unknown forces in the wilds of colonial America has left audiences as perplexed as it has greatly unsettled.

    The Auteur Theory is defined by a director who is the main force for a film. A main creative force is usually someone who wrote, directed, and maybe even edited their own film. Although in MMP’s it’s extremely rare for a director to edit their own movies, it’s not unheard of in the indie market. It is debatable whether if directors who are the main creative forces in their film make it any better, because sometimes they fail.

He describes movement in cinematic space as a cinematic process, which seeks “systematically to station the viewer as subject before an idealized,…

    Cléo De 7 Analysis

    • 1360 Words
    • 6 Pages

    In Cléo de 5 à 7, Varda follows more closely to the filmmaking techniques that are used by most classic Hollywood cinema. The only major difference, other than the context of the film, would be Varda’s use of temporality by having a film set in a two hour time period and of trying to keep the action of the film almost in the exact lifetime of two hours. It takes the idea of Classical Hollywood continuity to an extreme. Another difference is that Cléo takes on more French political issues such as…

    It is not often that I find myself cheering for the liars and thieves of the world in the same way that I would a superhero.

The modern take stays true to suave Hollywood glamour in using today’s brightest stars; a list that includes George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and Julia Roberts in the leading roles. The…

    In this essay, the questions that will be discussed are the importance of camera movement on the style of the film and the question about whether or not having a clear, serious story is the only reason to watch a film like Broken City. In my opinion, camera movement is the most crucial aspect in filmmaking to the extent that there might be no point in even shooting a film if there would not be any frame movements involved. It is like the seasoning of the filmmaking process. When camera movements…

    In the first scene of Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds, it could be taken as a flirtatious-romance film; however in the opening title sequence of the film, an ominous tone is set—a more accurate portrayal of the film. The first shot after the opening sequence shows the main protagonist, Melanie Daniels (Tippi Hedren), at a street corner with the frame of the camera shooting the busy street scene and the skies above. While the sky is clear, it is only after when Melanie crosses the street that birds…
