There is also a point where the camera is on the clock as…

these shots, like in shots 41 and 51, the car is moving from frame left to right each time. Without a sense of continuity of direction, the viewer would not know where the car was headed, and if it was making any progress. By showing the repetition of the car heading from left to right, we get a sense that we are getting closer to the goal, which will eventually be on the right side of the frame. This was especially important in Death’s Marathon, since the car was in such a rush, the shot…

settings to capture the diverse range of images instantaneously. Active viewing was something, I thought I did, but it wasn’t until I took a step back and saw the variety of shots and how each one of them is put together that I realized that there is more then one way to watch a movie. The different ways that a film is shot and how the scene is constructed are ways directors convey meaning to the audience. Film language and mise-en-scene are greatly present during the film Edge of Tomorrow. The…

The connection between an audience and the story unfolding onscreen facilitates a reaction necessary to create an emotional impact. The connection is made possible by the films form due to music, shots, and editing. Steven Spielberg’s Jaws (1975) succeeded in terrorizing its viewers through such techniques, creating a fictitious environment that could very well become their actual reality.

Sarah explains that…

modulation. The Ne gas pressure has been adjusted inside the chamber to ~2.2bar, in order to yield the broadest spectra. This broadband spectrum exits the capillary through a thin (~0.5 mm) UV-grade fused silica window, which is mounted at Brewster’s angle of ~790 nm at the end of the HCF`s chamber, in order to provide efficient transmission over a broad spectral…
