I was reading everyone else 's discussion and I knew something was wrong when all of them were about the scene where Donnie is getting off from school bus, however at that point it was too late to edit my post. Thank you for sending me the link to the scene.
In the beginning of the scene, the camera turns on the opposite side to capture the location where Donnie and his friends are getting off from the school bus and climbing the stairs to go in the classroom. The location was continuing in the hallway when we see all the characters of the movie along with teachers.
There are many types of shots in the movie, for example, a close-up shot is used when Donnie opens the door in school and a cutting on action shot when the principal and teachers are meeting together in the area outside of the school. A low-angle shot is captured when we look at the teacher as a strong, noble threateing and the director is using that to make a strong filling. …show more content…

“The screen is a magic medium. It has such power that it can convey emotions and moods that no other art form can hope to tackle.” The written word and the moving image have always had their entwining roots deeply entrenched in similar narrative codes, both functioning at the level of implication, connotation and referentiality. But ever since the advent of cinema, they have been pitted against each other over formal and cultural peculiarities – hence engaging in a relationship deemed “overtly compatible, secretly hostile” (Bluestone 2).

The hardest thing to try and do in this situation is to label Kevin Smith with a directing style, considering his style has been self-described as “having no style .” But I do believe over time he has developed his own way of making films, considering he dropped out of the Vancouver Film School after only four months, he has had industry experience to help him grow into his own way of creating movies.

There is a lot of lighting going on, whether we are seeing natural or set lighting to illuminate the actors in the frame; Smith brings natural light in all the exterior day shots, and set lighting in the interior shots and set shots.

Casablanca (1942) by Michael Curtiz is a story that is based on the classic Hollywood formula, which often involves a film noir flashback that steps outside of a linear sequence of events. At the beginning of the film, the story of World War II is presented by showing a map of the world in order to understand the fight between the Allies and Hitler’s forces throughout North Africa. A plane is shown flying over each location of Europe until it reaches the city of Casablanca in Morocco. This seemingly linear narrative remains stable, as the focus of the story centers on Rock’s Café and the suspicious characters that move about in his bar. Rick’s Café is tolerated by the local French police officials, such as Captain Louis Renault (Claude Rains) because Rick has a good reputation for being apolitical, yet this linear story pattern changes on the arrival of a mysterious couple.
