Hailey Cummings Mr.McCann 1st period Ela 9 3/24/16 Embedded Assessment 1 unit 2 Tim Burton uses many cinematic techniques in his films. For example, he uses lighting,music/sound and editing.he uses each technique for a specific reason. His main reason for using them is so he can show the audience his style. His style is very dark,gloomy and suspenseful. So with him using those techniques it allows the audience to see and feel his style. Tim Burton uses lighting to create the mood of a…
technique is a good way to receive closure, as viewers will remember the first scene and understand that seeing it again means that the movie has come to a close. I’d like to have the ending part of this two-part scene to be paired with the reveal crane shot . What I mean by this is I want to zoom out of the window, show Ed disappear, and then transition to a bird’s eye view of the campus away from the window, exactly as will have been done in the opening scene . This idea can serve a few…
Fisher King opens, the scene begins with a bird’s-eye view of the studio, focusing heavily on Jack as the center of the shot. This shot shows that just as Jack believes he is above everyone else, the camera works to illustrate Jack’s superior attitude about himself. Furthermore, the camera pans around Jack’s back and viewers do not have a clear picture of his face. These shots from behind give viewers a sense of being closed off and rejected by Jack in relation to Jack’s own personal view of…
tale by creating several action shots to build continuity. The story line of the short film is about a baby’s kidnapping that is saved by their pet dog, Rover. The movie was released in 1905, the same time of when the films started getting popular and British filmmaker’s realised narrative is an important sector in moving the picture.

Going into the film Double Indemnity I honestly cannot say I had high expectations; That being said, to my own surprise, I actually did personally enjoy this movie. While not anything particularly spectacular in relation to modern day films, Double Indemnity carried a unique charm that persisted throughout the whole movie that had me loving it. Of all the the characters throughout the show I was particularly impressed by the actors playing both Keyes,Lola and Mr. Norton who I believe did an…
you begin to see a gothic melodramatic film unravel in front of you simply by using different camera shots. When the music creates emotions like this it leaves the narrative…
Simple shot/reverse shot with equal power angles because Ruth has a powerful secret on her side which we hint at in this scene. The scene was kept simple because so much happens in their conversation. Donovan and Mallory did a great job of acting with their eyes, especially…
lying outside of the rest of the community. Peg, being ever so bold and charismatic, decided to sell more of her Avon makeup to whoever could be residing inside the mansion, no matter how upsetting it appeared at first glance. Plentiful establishing shots of the mansion convey how truly jaw-dropping and awe-striking it really was, showing the eerie atmosphere it presented to the viewers watching the film. The music that was playing while Peg was arriving was frighteningly short and concise notes…
Realism is important in creating a character the audience can more easily relate to, which is fundamental to texts attempting to create a reflection on such figures found in the real wold. This higher degree of verisimilitude is a staple of British social realism cinema, which represented characters in a documentary-like manner in order to evoke an audience reconsideration of marginalized or disadvantaged peoples or classes. Andrea Arnold’s film ‘Fish Tank’ (2009) utilises its depiction of place…
the ideas of good vs. evil, reality vs. fantasy, and the effect of war and resistance on innocent children The scene begins with a high angle over the shoulder shot of Captain Vidal looking down at Ofelia, emphasising her vulnerability and inferiority to him. To create tension between the two characters, Del Toro uses a shot reverse shot of a close up of Captain Vidal’s harshly lit face and a close up of Ofelia who disobeys his commands to leave his son. Unlike the harsh lighting on Captain…
