One Shot Deal

Analysis: Some Like It Hot, (1959) Billy Wilder Hollywood genre is represented in the 1959 musical comedy, Some Like It Hot through editing styles and screen play. Wilder uses high key lighting when character, Sugar; played by Marilyn Monroe is in the shot. By using choosing to use this glamourous white high key lighting grants the director the aesthetic of a Hollywood genre film. The screenplay of this film includes very exaggerated behavior from the actors/actresses. By exaggerating lines,…

film, Vertigo, certain shots have a certain compositional symmetry and balance to them that helps draw our attention, as viewers, to individual characters, namely that of Madeleine Elster/Judy Barton, portrayed by Kim Novak (because she has these two roles, I will be referring to her actual name when making reference to her). Various balanced shots in the film use Novak as a literally dividing figure, creating a down-the-line symmetry. By looking at these shots one by one, I plan to explore the…

Deconstruction of Koyaanisqatsi (Godfrey Reggio, 1983) by Natalie Bakeer Koyaansiqatsi is paced and sequenced in an interesting manner. The way the shots are sequenced, affect how people think and feel about the film. The pace of the shots, along with the powerful score, by Phillip Glass, determine the feelings viewers get as they watch it. Sometimes Reggio decided what to shoot only after Glass came up with the music that would end up energizing Reggio’s films. Reggio chose to shoot unscripted…

through to try and escape. I liked the extreme long shot of Andy crawling towards the camera, through the hole he made. You could really see his facial expression and the struggle on his face, as he made his way through the hole. It was a really good choice made by Stephen King, when he chose to have an extreme long shot of the prison with the diegetic sounds of lightening and rain in the background. My favourite part of this scene would be the long shot of Andy struggling to run through the…

Logos, or logic, involves looking for arguments that make sense in a piece. Amy Tan’s essay is very logical. It makes complete sense, and is simple to understand. Being that it is a narrative, she uses examples to back up her statements about English. She tells the stories of her mother dealing with the stockbroker and the hospital as means to make her point clearer. Ethos looks at the author’s credibility. Tan is a well-known writer, and does a lot of public speaking. We can trust her…

the printed ad you don’t see the lower part of the body compared to here you see the full body. In a long shot, with mysterious music, the model is in a big luxurious building running around as if she was exploring it when she sees two enormous mirrors. She’s wearing the same clothes and a short skirt. She drops her pink jacket and gets closer to the mirror. The camera closes in to a medium shot when she touches the mirror. The music tone changes as if she’s done something wrong. The mirror…

For biopic, story development needs to follow the time line, the life of the characters in real life events in one of the major events or representative for recording, and then appear in the film. Viewers can accord the narrative sequence in the film, the protagonist of life, to achieve the goal of biography movie record life. Jane Campion uses cutting and framing to illustrate that her heroine who is Janet Frame’s lifecycle. This essay will take An Angel at My Table (1990) as an example to…

cooks for him. She agrees and allows him to come over for dinner not knowing his motive for doing so. In this scene (53:31-57:46) she is taken advantage of and raped by this man. During this scene, there is continuity editing, as two shot are being combined to make this one scene. While she is being raped the scene switches back and forth to Jo and her husband Carl at an opera show and both scenes end at the same time. There is also a point where the camera is on the clock as she watches it…
