Nowadays, the editor may also add special effects or background music, in addition to selecting and combining the scenes. There are several major techniques of editing, including thematic montages, sequences shots and various types of cutting, such as classic, abstract, and continuity. In Now You See Me, all editing techniques are expressed within the film, but not all are found in each scene. Thematic montages are found when a film starts off in one area or location at one time, then cuts to…
Creation class, we were told to think more about our antagonist, and I didn’t really do that. Snail is a cool senior, but his skills in class are lacking. This is why his relationship with Lyla originally formed. I took this into consideration during my final revision. She is leaving and Snail knows that. He is paranoid and insecure about his life without her, so he lashes out. This is the template for the breakup and the conflict. Originally I wrote that the hug was nearly seen by Snail,…
For the scarier scenes, the movie ended to be at night and provide dark shots of lighting. For the majority of the film, Bird incorporated plenty of saturated color and high key lighting. Because of this, it also provided a more upbeat feeling for the film as a whole when the scenes included that color. But, Bird made that pattern of when things would get serious, as the final pivotal scenes were in a setting where the sky was cloudy, thus using less saturated…

lead you to lose things you like. However, is many works, the ending is more complicated than it is in others; some of them can be open for interpretation, or simply to be controversial. A Japanese film Naniwa Elegy belongs to that category – the final scene where protagonist walks into the screen has been a subject of debates (Mori). For some viewers the protagonist has fallen for money and became miserable, for others…

The last scene sequence plays out like a musical, not a drama I mean the It completes the story on an emotional, not a literal, level. We end not in carnage but in redemption, which is the goal of so many of Scorsese's characters. They seem to have a deep despise for themselves, they live in sin, they occupy mean streets, but they want to be forgiven and admired I got this from Travis character. Whether Travis gains that status in reality or only in his mind is not the point; throughout the film…
superstition?” The "Curse of Macbeth" AKA “The Scottish curse” according to theatrical superstition, is the large amount of “bad luck” that occurs during the production and acting out of Shakespeare’s famous play “Macbeth” The opening scene of Macbeth was a very spooky scene already. 3 old sisters appear with ragged clothes and begin chanting a curse or incantation on Macbeth. It is said that Shakespeare wanted to impress the king at the time, King James the first, who happened to consider…
successful with the character sketch and with my final rehearsal of my monologue. The character sketch, which I did receive full marks on, was one of the parts I felt most successful with because I was able to create a full character from a couple pages of one scene from an entire person’s life. I felt it was successful because of how I was able to develop a real character with a personality, a future and a past based off a few lines that she said in the scenes. I felt successful with the…
she returns to the gates of Bethulia (Branch, 2012). The continuation of the color red helps to create movement and balance in Gentileschi’s painting. The red encourages the viewer’s eyes to dance back and forth between the three characters in the scene. It also reinforces the triangular composition between Holofernes’s throw, the red trim on Judith’s dress, and ultimately directing attention to the dripping blood flowing from his neck. The lines that continue from the forms of the three…
