chosen I felt was particularly interesting. In those two minutes of footage the personalities of Eva, Francis, Kevin and Celia are portrayed perfectly and clearly for the spectator to seethe psychopathic betrayed by Kevin through the use of mise-en-scène, sound effects, music and flawless acting. The first thing that caught my eye during my first watch of “We Need to Talk about Kevin” was the strong use of the color red which is highly symbolic of the inevitable bloodshed. Red is seen…

this to be true due to the cultural context of the act. Watanabe would have also lived through World War II. Therefore, both Watanabe and his business partner would have had the same opinions and beliefs about the act of committing suicide. The final scene of the story also contributes to the central theme of death in “A Family Supper.” After having read the introduction, the last two pages of the story can be viewed as a murder taking place from the reader’s perspective.

eyes of the viewer Scene analysis Thesis: In my chosen scene the director, Alfred Hitchcock, expresses Norman’s personality as a predator, in a way that gives the viewer feelings of suspense and insecurity.

I will discuss topic number two with East of Eden. East of Eden incorporates camera placement, mood lighting, and camera angles to further enhance an actor’s performance and the overall mood of the scene. For instance, the Trask family sits at the dining room, a traditional family setting, but under dark mood lighting. The side of the table with the main protagonist Cal is more darkly lit than the side of the table were Cal’s father Adam and Cal’s brother Aron are seated, which is warmly lit.…

Upon first glance the films Pinky (1949) and Lost Boundaries (1949) appear to be progressive. They portray controversial ideas such as miscegenation and equality between whites and blacks. But are these films really trying to make a statement of equality? While on the surface Pinky and Lost Boundaries, make a contentious political statement; in actuality they make a mockery of the idea of egalitarianism. The film Pinky addresses the questionable idea of a mixed race couple and of a black…

The Mise-en-scène within the film is extraordinary and everything is planned out to a tee. To begin with, the setting of the final battle perfectly sets the mood for the fight. Setting is important because it allows the viewer to view "important details" (Corrigan, White, 69) or to even "contrast across difference places" (Corrigan, White, 69) within the film. In the movie, the fight takes place in the second Death Star. An eerily lit maze of corridors and passageways that create an exhilarating…

The sound effects in Star Wars illuminated the entire film, making it a gifted piece of art. Star Wars has such incredible sound effects that it is hard to compare another film to it. Jurassic Park, directed Colin Trevorrow can rival with the sound effects performed in the Star Wars movies. See a sound; hear a sound. Every time you see some action on the screen, your mind expects there to be a complimentary sound. The Foley artists from each film were exceptionally creative when they were…

Guillermo Del Toro, is a visually striking, dark fantasy film compiled of a range of gruesome and intriguing scenes that address themes of choice, gender and coming of age.
