harm to come upon his family. As he does this Tim Burton uses a centred close up camera shot of Carolyn closing their house doors building the tension of the audience as if there was going to be a war between the family and Angie, knowing that she wouldn’t take the deal. As the scene carries on there are a lot of over the shoulder camera shots between Angie and Barnabas as he strangles her. These camera shots display to the audience the emotion of each character as the scene plays out between…

Drugs that are used to enhance performances in professional sport has one big positive, to win. But when weighing up positives and negatives, the negatives have the upper hand. I will be agreeing with the negatives with these three reasons. The effect on the sportsman's self esteem and others, the feeling of being cheated on or let down. How quickly the word spreads, in seconds internationally everyone knows the crime the accused sportsman's committed. And also the consequences that comes with…

much about morals or issues around the world and create emotions within the people. Tim Burton elicits emotions from the audience through connections to the messages showcased in his film that all become clear with lighting, sound, camera movements, shots, and angles. First, Burton’s empathetic imagination combines high key lighting, non-diegetic sounds and slow panoramic camera movement to draw out feelings of…

Comic books on the surface appear to be simple. However, beneath that surface lies much more depth than the images give off. The making of comics and how each individual scene is drawn, and laid out has much more complex workings than most readers would expect. Ella Cinders by Bill Counselman and drawn by Charles Plumb is one such example of how much depth and thinking goes into making comic strips. The strips themselves talk about the adventures of a woman named Ella. Beneath that, every little…

Jackie realise that Billy can be a ballet dancer. This is demonstrated in Billy’s defiant dance, shown by extreme close-ups of Jackie’s face, his furious feeling is evident. Jackie’s point of view shots with a soft lighting reveals Billy’s enthusiasm and talent for dance. The switch to the medium shot where Jackie’s body is stiff but the volume and the tempo of the diegetic sound increases. The audience can empathise with his changing mind, from rejection to belief and finally supports his son.…

one go creating a logical coherence between shots. During the initial fight scene, dissolve and wipes were used to speed up the action, which is another way of involving viewers and getting their attention to anticipate what is going to happen next. It seems as if they planned and directed shots in such a way that they can be cut together smoothly and coherently. You could tell they implemented general cut on action, especially cutting from a wide shot of the main character during the fight…

The movie Gladiator, directed by Ridley Scott, tells the story of general Maximus (played by Russell Crowe) that stands against crazy Emperor (played by Joaquiem Phoenix) is considered to be one of the best historical movies in modern history. However, as it goes in historic movies, Gladiator is showing the audience the popular recitation period and masks the real perception and the real course of government. It is true that most of the changes made in the movie could only strengthen the…

Despite the fact that the world is made up of people of different colours and cultures, there is a alarming lack of minority representation in the realm of entertainment and fashion. The individuals portrayed in media and fashion follow a Caucasian template that has become the norm, and they therefore seldom reflect the mosaic that makes up present-day society. However, this Caucasian template has become so ingrained in society that it has become the standard for beauty for all to strive for. As…

scene, by having the two parties having a variety of food in front of them and eating. I intended to have this symbolize a lack of tension, despite the two discussing business. This is also achieved by certain camera angles, such as the high angle shot above the table, which has both Farhoud and Darius’ hands in frame, surrounded by the food. Although this could be interpreted to represent the importance of their business (having their hands clenched together), it also displays a comfortable…
