to the town about a small town, and it was an experimental film that did not need to specifically do well. Soderbergh had already been promised a contract for several additional films no matter the outcome of the first. This opened Bubble up for Magnolia and Cuban to experiment with its release with very few consequences. The lack of a well-known cast in Whitey was not specifically done by choice, but out of necessity. It is a documentary, which by definition means that…

format. In this essay, I will discuss the methods in which the Maysle's brothers represent Christo's art work so as to best represent Christo's contemporary approach to his art. I will discuss the format in which the film is constructed, which has an outline of a three part act film; the pre-production, production and post production portrayal of Christo's artwork in Running Fence In Running Fence (1978), the…

Documentaries appear to give predictable suggestions to the DVD community group that cinematic quality and video quality are not commonly exclusive. King of Kong fills in as a shocking case of that standard. Shot for as little as possible using a low-spending DV, the video nature of his generally massively engaging documentary isn't probably going to inspire. Colors a fairly inconsistent balance – especially in the some of the exterior sequences and are generally washed-out. Digitization and…

was Wes Craven's second directorial film after The Last House on the Left (I'm not counting his stint as Abe Snake directing The Fireworks Woman). Much like The Last House on the Left, The Hills Have Eyes has a gritty, low budget, violent look, having been shot on 16mm film.

The film has gone on to spawn a few sequels…

In viewing the short film “Nocturne in Black” directed by Jimmy Keyrouz from Columbia University, this was undeniably the case. While the film was produced at an undeniably high caliper, with every detail ranging from lighting to shot development being nearly without flaw, the sound design above all…

“Shining,” is directed by Stanley Kubrick in 1980. This film is based on the Stephen King’s novel, The Shining, in 1977. In the lecture, we watched documentary film, “The Making of THE SHINING,” which is filmed by Stanley Kubrick’s seventeen-years-old daughter, Vivian. The Documentary is mostly the Vivian’s vision. The cinematography was shaky and unstable all the time. However, I feel that it created the reality. Usually, the purpose of documentary film is document some aspect of reality. I…

Jean-Luc Godard’s films are always unique in their own way. This film, Vivre Sa Vie was no exception. One of the most interesting editing choices for this film was the fact that it is split up in different chapters with headings and all. They each showcase a “highlight” from the main character’s journey or story so the time connecting each chapter is irrelevant.
