Tramp

The final scene, showing the flower girl finally seeing the tramp for the first time, has many different kind of shots and is mostly shot with eye-level angles and somewhat low angles. There are medium shots, full shots, close-up shots, and even an over-the-shoulder shot featured. The scene starts out with the miserable Little Tramp walking down the street after getting out of prison showing a full shot, with his entire body in the frame. From this point on, the scene is shot in medium shots, or shots from the waist up, until the last few seconds of the movie. The flower girl thinks she found a conquest and tries to give the tramp a flower; this scene takes on the over-the-shoulder scene with the flower girl’s back in the shot, as the camera focuses on the Little Tramp. After the Little Tramp tries to run off, the flower girl gets up and walks over to him, introducing the close-up shot and one of the most intimate scenes in film history. The girl looks directly at the tramp with disappointment and uncertainty as the tramp stands there, shy and embarrassed, with an expression so powerful the audience can almost feel Chaplin’s heart break. The last scene of the movie is a personal close-up of Chaplin’s face that fades away and the proxemics distance in this scene keeps the audience…

Jon Lewis mentioned that 1915 to 1928 was the Golden Age of Film comedy and the silent film medium extend this to its maximum.

Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton were two legendary comedy filmmakers emerging from this era. Charlie Chaplin’s City Lights was a combination of Chaplin’s skills from previous movies. In this movie, he employs purely innocent…

mustache, monocle, top hat, frock coat, tie and dickey (Kohn 28). City Lights was considered to be the last great film of the silent film era released on January 30, 1931.

Hence, it was not revealed until later years that her “simplicity” was caused by a rock which was hidden inside of the snowball. Thus, it was not until a few years after Paul’s birth that Mary performed her first miracle. However, it was unbeknownst that her actions were a miracle at the time that they occurred. One evening, Mary had gone missing from her home. A search party had been sent out to look for her, to which they found her in the large gravel pit that the townspeople hated because “it…

Lady and the Tramp and Up. Inevitably, technology has attributed greatly towards animated films. The effects are phenomenal, both visually and audibly. As it pertains to the opening scene, it is important to analyze the visual components from Lady and the Tramp in comparison to Up. Lady and the Tramp opens with a classical and hand-drawn impression.

In 1955, The Lady and the Tramp was released by Walt Disney. The movie was met with praise due to the family friendly humor and light hearted tone of the movie.

The Lady and the Tramp, while featuring many racial stereotypes and potentially offensive…

I have never considered myself to be extremely fit. In fact, I would have laughed if someone told me two years ago that I could tramp for 7 hours a day for 4 days consecutively. This is exactly why I am incredibly proud of my Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award. The 47km tramp in Whanganui National Park was life changing because I was completely outside of my comfort zone as I climbed mountains after mountains with a group of people I barely knew at first. However, over the 4 days and 3 nights, I…

Dance Tramp was a dance performance like I’ve never seen before. There were times throughout the performance where I had no idea what was going on or why. I wouldn’t even be surprised to find out that the performers didn’t either. The show was essentially a compilation of silliness and humor that I’m glad to have witnessed. The most ridiculous of all was the part at the very beginning, where two dancers were wearing a conjoined black costume and spun around the stage holding a bouquet of…

he is only the 3rd “hero” out of Disney’s entire anthology of animated movies to be of Asian ethnicity. Only 4 out of 55 feature films produced by Disney (Wikipedia, 2016) have an Asian protagonist, in addition, there is only 1 protagonist in Disney’s collection to be of African-American ethnicity (The Princess and the Frog (2009)). These statistics expose exactly how disproportionate the manner in which ethnic groups are portrayed in animations. Even with Hiro as an Asian hero, he is still…

It's not like it's a "tramp stamp," (is that still a thing?), but some on social media are not warming up to Ariel Winter's new butt tattoo. It's less of where the new ink is located on Ariel -- like the "Modern Family" star's other tattoos -- than what the meaning signifies. Ariel Winter, 19, gave fans on Snapchat an eyeful on Sunday when she uploaded a partial image of her butt that revealed another tattoo. In the pantless picture, Ariel (we assume it's her; her face isn't shown in the snap)…
