art and technology, movies have always been considered to be the core part of a nation’s culture and the whole country itself. “So it is no surprise if past leaders like Hitler, Mao and Mussolini had always wanted to be in charge of their country’s movie industry” (Chang). Moreover, there is no doubt that there has been a great rise in the competition of film industry recently. Making…
life of love and war, there are subjects of her work that are also very important but they may be difficult for the screenwriter to address, for example her work on the exhibition “Congo/Women”(Addario, 191). It is important, when adapting it into a movie that the screenwriter, Peter Craig understand the power of Addario’s work and not undermine the significance of the lives she has touched with that work. Adapting both Addario’s experiences and her photography together as a whole would greatly…
movies, unique use of special effects, and a new rating system. Several of the movies that were released in 1984 “set a template for sequels”(Truitt 1) and created “the franchises of today”(Truitt 1). The Ghostbusters franchise took off after the movie turned out to be a massive success. Spawning spin-offs (and knock-offs), cartoons, comics, tv shows, and of course, sequels, Ghostbusters proved to be incredibly lucrative, despite how bizarre its premise was. People were having their “mind blown…

Mise-en-scène Mise-en-scène is all the elements placed in front of the camera to be photographed such as settings and props, lighting, costumes, make-up and actors and their behavior. In a clip from the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, directed by Stanley Kubrick, mise-en-scene is used heavily to convey the major elements of the two sequences without the use of dialogue. The first sequence is of a space ship moving through outer space, heading towards Jupiter. It is immediately easy to notice how…
In total I have direct five short films. The most notable being two shorts entitled “Together” and “Retribution”. “Together” tells the story of a young widower haunted by extreme grief who spends his days communicating with a tablet as if it were the one he has lost. When the tablet is destroyed the man begins a quest to continue his coping method. Desperate and depressed, the man hires a woman to re-create the last moments of his previous relationship, all while dressed up as the woman he has…
director. This will consist of the setting, lighting, costume and makeup, and staging and performance. In The Great Gatsby mise-en-scene is a key factor to keep the audience engaged. This movie is a realistic drama/romance of the early 1920’s but the director used bright colors to keep the audience allured throughout the movie. Well always keeping the character well lit even if it seem like they shouldn’t naturally be that well lit, so you can always see their facial expressions. The…
most Disney Classics. Additionally, the film Bambi was able to demonstrate the deep love of Bambi and Bambi’s mother and the everlasting friendships that are possible to make. Contrary to this, I deeply feel that this film is not a child appropriate movie because many depressing and violent things occur in the film Bambi. For instance, the fact that Bambi’s mother was shot, is a difficult idea for children of all ages to ponder. Furthermore, when there was a forest fire in Bambi’s habit, even I,…
This past summer movie season sweltered, simmered and smoldered its way into the hearts of many in 2017. While previous summers presented the worst Hollywood had to offer, this year proved different. Beginning with the empowering “Wonder Women,” to the stunning “Dunkirk” and the inspiriting joy ride that was “Baby Driver,” the film industry pleasantly surprised with dense blockbusters and three dimensional characters audiences will not soon forget. Nevertheless, a few indie gems — great films…
