“Movement, change and flux are the only constants in the city.” A delightfully poignant movie revolving around urban alienation of its citizens living in Hong Kong, it is easy for its audience to get absorbed in the flurry of images created by Christopher Doyle’s shaky handheld cameras, William Chang’s fast-paced editing, and Wong Kar Wai’s signature ‘smudge-motion’ techniques in the film Chungking Express. These cinematographic images created from such, as if to vertiginously disorient its…

While I do not support violence in daily life, I think violence in film is necessary for certain genres of films for example action films and documentaries. Even though we do not like it, violence is a daily part of real life. At times, in order to depict real life situations and relate to the audience I think violence is needed in films. For me violence adds to the film by making it more believable. I also feel that that if done correctly, violence can add an element of excitement in films. I…

The film industry uses these periods of time to create different classics for each genre. There is a big contrast between classic and modern horror…

Generally, there are two different types of sound, diegetic and non-diegetic. According to Film…

people to commit atrocities that are shown on the screen, and the cinema workers themselves, guilty in the defilement of young minds and morals, are victims of those who they have raised. Roman Polanski in his work has specialized in bloody paranoid "horror movies", and his wife Sharon Tate consistently starred in these films. The audience often had the opportunity to contemplate the naked body of the actress, generously smeared with red paint of simulated blood. These pictures were left very…
