The movie is based on Johannes Vermeer, the famous artist’s life and what is the story behind his painting of the girl with the pearl earrings. The movie is quit modest with the way it presented that period of time with the way they dressed to the way they spoke. It also focused of how art was important, precious and a luxury to attain. It addresses the tough life of people that…

cinematically naive assertion by Moon hoax advocates is that all scenes were filmed in the Nevada desert. To do this, technicians would have needed to block out the sky -- an inconceivable task to pull off without the use of a matte box in front of the lens to block some of the camera 's view.

A key problem with a matte box is that shadows would have noticeably changed direction, shifting from west to east as the Sun moved across…

While at first glance, the consumption of risky cosmetics in 1930s Singapore seems irrationally vain and frivolous, a Chinese woman’s choice to chemically whiten her skin was embedded in a series of larger historical processes: Technologies of photographic and cinematic reproduction introduced new beauty ideals in women’s magazines and in movies, while European, US, and later Japanese colonial political power conditioned women to desire whiteness. Technologies of packaging, mass-production, and…

Super Size Me, a documentary film produced by Morgan Spurlock, is outlined to display the close correlation between the fast food industry and the epidemic of obesity within the U.S. Throughout the film, the use of rhetorical strategies and filmic techniques come together to produce a visually engaging and informing piece for the audience. Alongside this film, we can challenge the effectiveness of documentaries as a whole using “Telling Stories With Evidence and Argument” by Bill Nichols.…
