In the editing notes for Tobermory by 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…
In Nightcrawler there are a few aspects of surveillance portrayed but they are very subtle. The first one is the use of diegetic sound that comes from the police scanner. Throughout the semester multiple films of the surveillance genre were viewed and many of them introduced a “bug” that was used to listen in on different characters of the film without them knowing. As Lou listens to the police scanner it is relatively the same as “bug”, except the police scanner only listens to police…
Visual Analysis In the film “The Long Day Closes” the scene of Tammy’s in Love helped demonstrate the film maker’s use of the cinematic elements such as mis en scene, cinematography, editing and sound to help the audience understand the protagonists feelings of loneliness, and being conformed into a routine, as well as having a hard time of being an individual. The purpose in this film was quite an interesting one. In this particular scene of Tammy’s in Love, the filmmaker was very intricate…
period of time this technique is almost essential, also many things that happen in game shows only happen once (such as winning money and reactions) so it is very important for atmosphere purposes to capture many shots from different angles so the editing process is easier. During class we discussed ‘The Weakest Link’ during the multi-camera project; we discussed how the lay out for the multi-camera during the show was considerably straight forward. The characteristics of the multi-camera lay…
Making a movie from scratch requires a wide variety of skilled workers. Everything from actors to make-up artists and even lighting specialists will be utilized; however, it’s easy to take one of the most important jobs for granted: the cinematographer. Although it may seem as simple as holding a camera, a skilled cinematographer, with insight as to how a scene should be filmed, can make or break a movie.

The 1987 film, Empire of the Sun directed by Steven Spielberg, was a very well put together film in a way that everything was put together in the end of the film. Spielberg connected a lot of things that viewers saw in the beginning of the film to what viewers saw in the end of the film. In this film there is a major relationship between some sort of a caretaker model and a young child in need of care. This relationship develops between Basie and Jamie. Throughout the film, I feel that Basie was…

Chey schaefer Research paper 12/1/2017 Tseng Alexander Rodchenko and his use of alienation Alexander Rodchenko's marvelous photography -- for which he is now best remembered -- tilted the world in a new direction. He would typically skew the angle of his shots, so that our eyes are not dominated by the usual dead-on rectangle. Trying to break the habits of seeing and slide space itself into new dimensions, his rigorous compositional sense visually "holds" the elements of the photograph in…
