Costume

In the elements of Mise-en-scene costume and makeup help play a key role in each and every film. Along with helping to develop characters, costumes and makeup can tell a story about each of the characters before they even speak. After watching both, AMERICAN BEAUTY and THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS, it’s easy to see there are many differences between the two films even if they seemed to fall in the same genre of film. But the strong differences in each films costumes and makeup are what make them iconic…

‘new and improved’ holiday, it does not represent anything truly meaningful. There is some gain to this because children and adults get to dress up and have some fun, but they should not replace a meaningful holiday with a day to party. Halloween costumes were originated from the way the Celts scared off spirits, and jack o’ lanterns were used for a lighting source not as a decoration. Halloween was not always about trick-or-treating or dressing up, it had a meaning and people took that away,…

get to the green room before the audience exits the theater for intermission. I opened the green room door and ducked inside. It was a rainbow of costumes and legos everywhere. I looked around and spotted my mom helping my brother with his hat. I waited for her to finish and come and help me with my costume. I waited impatiently for her to grab my costume. Finally, she came over to help me. As she hurried over, I noticed that her eyes were glossed over, and she looked really sad. "Hurry!" I…

This afternoon I attended a Sunday matinee for the production of This Random World written by Steven Dietz and directed by Paul Steger put on by the Johnny Carson School of Theatre & Film.

Adults and teenagers might visit Halloween attractions like haunted houses, Halloween parades and haunted hayrides. In most cases, the attractions start around the beginning of October. Haunted Trails A haunted trail usually happens in the forest or woods. It can also happen in an empty theme park. The…

ponder about candy, costumes, pumpkins, and parties right? But have we ever actually thought of why some of our friends can’t dress up for Halloween? Probably not, the reason to this is either religious or personal beliefs (which are pretty much the same reason). Many of my friends who are Christian are forbidden to participate in this holiday because they believe that Halloween is a day to worship Satan.

Truly, the word Halloween is a withdrawal from the expression "All Hallows Even," which implies the day preceding All Hallows Day (better known as All Saints' Day) .Just like Diwali, Ramadan, or New Year’s day, Halloween is praised nearly in each nation, regardless of the fact that the festival mainly celebrates just outside traits, for example, pumpkins, outfits, and youngsters requesting confections. Despite the fact that the introductory significance of Halloween had a great deal to do with…
