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…

The film that I have chosen to analyze is Lessons of Darkness by Werner Herzog. I chose this film because I really enjoy Herzog’s film style, and I also enjoy how he uses specific shots and scenes to portray how he is against the gruesome nature of war and attacks. In this film, I have chosen two sequences where I believe that Herzog is trying to get his point across of the violence that come from war. For example, as Herzog uses the first sequence of the birds, to the bones of the dead, to the…

The conception of the ancient struggle of man versus nature has been heavily warped in the modern world. From a contemporary standpoint it is difficult to think passively of the environment. In the light of the impending crisis of global warming and the changes associated with it, it is easy to think of the environment as both a victim and an agent of retribution: the continuously more common occurrences of dramatic weather and toxic surroundings serving as a condemning consequence of humanity’s…

these shots, like in shots 41 and 51, the car is moving from frame left to right each time. Without a sense of continuity of direction, the viewer would not know where the car was headed, and if it was making any progress. By showing the repetition of the car heading from left to right, we get a sense that we are getting closer to the goal, which will eventually be on the right side of the frame. This was especially important in Death’s Marathon, since the car was in such a rush, the shot…

The facility is located on Shutter Island, which is set in Boston Harbor. The view is set from…

two men are challenging gravity while figthing most of the shot (1:58 – 2:12) have to be long in order to emphasis how the background and charcters are spinning and the effects are, for example from 1:12 to 1;14 you can see the long shot of the two men fighting but the thing that seems to be quite insignificant is the gun that dropped also react to the shift in gravity and sticks to the ceiling, the attention to detain from Nolan in this shot make me as a viewer amazed that something so small…

The connection between an audience and the story unfolding onscreen facilitates a reaction necessary to create an emotional impact. The connection is made possible by the films form due to music, shots, and editing. Steven Spielberg’s Jaws (1975) succeeded in terrorizing its viewers through such techniques, creating a fictitious environment that could very well become their actual reality. Kenneth Burke states that “any given terminology is a reflection of reality, by its very nature as a…
