she studies how technology changes the law, criminal justice, and systems of American punishment and the effects it has on society. “I have studied the growth of what I call digital punishment by interviewing those who run criminal history and mug shot websites, by analyzing the content they produce, and by interviewing those working to clear their own criminal records through legal means even against the reality of an endless digital trail”. Sarah explains that…

gives its own twist and darkness that the story needs. The opening shot of the movie is a close up of many different statues and their faces, then the camera focuses on a statue of Hamlet, which would be considered an establishing shot. An establishing shot is often a long shot or series of shots that sets the scene, so therefore the shots of the faces on the outside of the buildings and Hamlet’s statue are defined as an establishing shot(s). When…

Medium close up. This shot is exactly the same as shot number 2, except that it can be categorized as a reaction shot from Ginger as she slows down and realizes how frantic she was; however, she soon aggressively speeds things up again that ultimately leads to fear and anxiety from Jason. These last three shots are rather slow placed relative to the rest of them because tensions are low, the scene is still relatively…

Want to know how to bring a U.S. Marine to tears? Give him a Rocephin shot. As one Marine quipped, “it brings half the men to their knees, and the other half to tears.” Doing a Google search on the term “Rocephin” (aka the peanut butter shot), you’ll find the #1 concern of military recruits is receiving this required penicillin shot during boot camp. “It feels like acid going in” is a common description. If toughened military men have these concerns, it’s no surprise nearly 20% of the U.S.…

together to give the viewer a feel of being in the film with the young main character Mowgli (Neel Sethi). Man is the most dangerous species, greediness kills and more harm will come upon nature for as long as we want more. The development of different shots truly makes the movie into a great reinvented film, the longshots of the earth as a whole gives the viewer a sense of just how large the kingdom is. To begin with, the classic battle scene between Mowgli and…

Although so much has changed and improved in rape culture, there is still so much growing that still needs to occur. Far too often, the victim blames his or herself. Regardless of the amount of clothing they were wearing, or if they were voluntarily on a date with the person, or if they were drunk, it is never the victim’s fault. This was very hard for me to understand, and over the past two years, my mind has been flooded with many contradictory thoughts. Was I raped? Of course not. You…

Following the blonde lady through the streets, we are shown a collection of shaky images captured by handheld cameras where the subjects of the shot are somewhat discernible, but the surroundings and location of the shots almost undistinguishable, as if the surroundings of the subject were purposefully smudged to create the unclear images. Four consecutive shots of a pre-dawn steel-blue sky followed, framed by industrial buildings of the city. In contrast to the non-movement of the buildings and…

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,…

Hitchcock’s 1958 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…

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…
