pronounce the limitations on the life Gaston would have with Mme. Colet if he were to stay with her, foreshadowing Gaston’s final decision to run away with Lily rather than stay with Mme. Colet and her money. The underlying care for reality in romantic scenes is also emphasized by Lubitsch’s…
Lewis Hayes, you have successfully set up your characters and location from the first few scenes. However, I have a couple of concerns with the writing (repetition, grammar, readability), format (scene breakdown style), structure (montage, scene selection, conflict), and scenes (repetition, formatting). There is a suitable structure and the narrative flows in appropriate sequential order. The tone of your film upon initial read is engaging. Appropriate filmic drive but the writing brought down…

Historically, film media has been instrumental in associating an image of deviant behavior with marijuana, and it has not been until recently that the media started reporting the true facts of marijuana. In the essay written by Richard Willing entitled, The CSI Effect, Willing explains the “CSI effect” as a reaction in which the audience believes it has become expert in forensic science simply by watching a television series. Willing explains that jurors ask for evidence that is irrelevant to…
Crime scene investigation is one of the most media glorified activities that a police officer will ever partake in. Many people may think they know all there is to know about crime scene investigation. From a media stand point, a detective is called and brought on to the newly produced crime scene and immediately goes to work on collecting evidence. It even goes as far as to glorify detectives, such as “Sherlock Holmes”, and their “magical ability” to analyze something as universal as a shoe…
In Django, the film displays the law enforcement’s failure to enforce any moral or lawful act early in the film and this scene sets the tone for the rest of the film. The scene begins right after Shultz rescues Django and they arrive in Daughterly, Texas. Shultz kills the sheriff of the county in the street. Afterwards, the marshal and the militia of the town come to the bar in order to arrest and/or kill Shultz and Django if they resist. Instead, Shultz proves that he is beyond the law and…
The word forensic derives from the Latin word “forensis” which means to be publicly known or heard. Most forensic scientists in the 1800 and 1900’s were self- taught but even now there are not many colleges that are certified to give a degree in forensics. Forensic science has been around since 44 B.C. but it wasn’t recognized as a method of science until the late 20th century. Forensic science is an asset in solving crime. Forensic science has become so popular in the past twenty- five years. I…
When it comes to crime scene investigation, a thorough preliminary investigation is usually required, the reason being to end up with a follow-up investigation. Preliminary investigations seldom provide a sufficient amount of information to arraign a criminal case, consequently the necessity of a thorough preliminary investigation is imperative. Crime scene investigators apprehend that in order to continue with their investigation and to legitimately prosecute a criminal case, evidence that is…
There are a wide variety of creative and interesting crime shows on television today that a great deal of today’s society follow. Shows such as CSI, Law and Order, Forensic Files, and NCIS are becoming increasingly popular and the way the shows are scripted makes for compelling television. While these shows are indeed interesting, they are giving viewers a false sense of knowledge when it comes to the real world of forensic science and the criminal justice system as a whole.

The “CSI Effect” which is the effect of crime television shows on the verdicts made in court cases or on other aspects of the criminal justice system. The perceived rise in acquittals can also plausibly by explained without any reference either to watching CSI or to view crime drama more generally.
