Prevailing over a print ad in Glamour magazine’s June 2016 issue is a sultry Johnny Depp and a bottle of Dior’s new Sauvage cologne (Sauvage, Dior). The way that Depp is presented in this ad only adds to the impact of the marketing. Both Depp and the cologne bottle is placed in the forefront of the scene making them the focal point. Depp is not dressed up as any of the outlandish characters he has played, but in all black and the usual gaudy jewelry he is known for. Penetratingly looking to the…

Tim Burton is an animator and film director that is influenced by Roald Dahl and E.A Poe.

happen in life. As the film comes to a close, the once enthusiastic aura plummets back into darkness as he realizes that he is trapped in a tiny environment that cannot accommodate his size or intelligence. In the end, while Darkness, Light, Darkness was difficult to watch, it shed Svankmajer’s opinion on the human life. I think the film provided a self-searching construction of the human body and mind with the boundaries of light and darkness. While the short contained several grotesque…

"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” framing is used to show the importance of certain things, and give the viewers astonishment, such as when the factory is open. Framing can show a lot, yes, but it usually tries to convey something in this case, it was to astonish the viewer.

most famous and smoothest con men ever. He was a “gifted student with a seemingly bright future ahead of him” and always wished to become and ‘artist’. (Pizzoli 8). Thus, he used his clever gambling skills, gradually taking impersonation to a highly new artistic and dangerous level.

for adaptations. I hope that Light isn't the same character, because if he was, I could go watch the show instead. I hope Ryuk is done differently, but keeps his core personality. With the most recent teaser we can see a number of differences. Ryuk tempts Light into using the notebook, in the show this isn't something the Shinigami are allowed to do. In the show, Light wouldn't kill anyone close to him at first because he was being cautious, in the Film his first kill is a bully right outside…
