It uses cinematography and film techniques such as misé en-scene, shot duration,
A scene in the “Nanook of the North” that effectively showcased this style of filmmaking was when Nanook and his family were hunting walrus. The fast-paced editing created a sense of urgency and suspense. As the viewer you feel the excitement and danger of the hunt. Another scene that showed this style of film-making was with the editing, more specifically at the 29:18 mark, an intertitle appeared on the screen, "Winter," followed by a scene of snow blowing harshly, after another intertitle then explained how harsh the winter is, with its long nights, short days, and strong winds. This scene added suspense and created a sense of worry among the audience regarding how the family would survive.

In this paper I hypothesize that A Voyage to the Moon was most innovative in cinematography and editing. Although mise en-scene was the main focus of the film, I hypothesize that mise en scene wasn’t as innovative as the other two. As mentioned earlier, mise en scene made A Voyage to the Moon easy to understand and follow along. In the first scene of the film, this power
Cinematography is critical to the success of any movie. Cinematography uses composition, lighting, depth of field, and camera angles to determine what the audience sees. Casablanca’s cinematography directs the audience’s attention, shapes the audiences feelings, and reveals the theme of the movie. Cinematography directs the audience’s attention and acts as the viewer’s eyes. The cinematography highlights Casablanca as a dangerous place filled with deception.
Investigating the Problem When answering the question of why refugees in the Kitchener-Waterloo region have difficulties finding employment, I think it is useful to make the distinction between obstacles that occur at the level of individual refugees and those that exist at a system level. Drawing this distinction will help to focus recommendations at addressing these obstacles in a more effective manner. INDIVIDUAL LEVEL OBSTACLES Among the individual obstacles, the majority of obstacles can be further broken down into two further categories, skills and competing priorities.
This essay will discuss the uses, strategies and the meanings that are generated by editing in cinema. The films that this essay will be focusing on are Psycho and Singin’ in the Rain. Both of these films are very different to each other and therefore use editing in varying ways in order to give the audience a different perception of the characters as well as the setting that these characters are involved in. Psycho focuses on building suspense for the audience throughout the film using editing, camera work and sound. This essay will be primarily focusing on editing with the discussion of camerawork where relevant.
The use of lighting and filters for colours is not just used for simple illumination but it is more meaningful. It helps to understand the characters and focus our attention on certain objects and actions. The colour can be used as a motif, an occurring manifestation in which the shades themselves become an important part of the story, reflecting emotions, altering situations and underlining scenes. (Bordwell, Thompson and Smith, n.d.)
Furthermore, the shot styles between the films are reflective of each other. The extreme close-ups, slow moving camera, and mis-en-scene are impactful in creating atmosphere. In the third film, the slow moving camera takes on a presence rather than a character, which embodies the omens that are essential to the films
Two films, although created years apart yet have a lot in common, including their content of it’s narrative techniques. Both films, even though black and white with strokes of genius of cinema offer a vast stretch for study. I will be looking at Sir Orson Welles “Citizen Kane” (1941) and Akira Kurosawa’s “Rashomon” (1950). We see in Citizen Kane he values for the American life. The three abstract themes that constantly follow through Citizen Kane are Wealth, Power and Love.
Elizaveta Samodurova Professor Joseph Dorman History of Documentary November 25 2014 Comparative Analysis of Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera and Walter Ruttman’s Berlin: Symphony of a City The heavily planned and edited footage of what we call reality television today has a very humble predecessor which truly attempted to capture the daily life of humans, substituting a rehearsed plot line for the purity and chaos which is inherent to human life. City symphonies placed themselves within the world of cinema as an attempt to recreate the essence of city life through kaleidoscopal glimpses of the daily life of its inhabitants, resembling a musical symphony through its structure as a visual composition of so many different elements.
Analysis of the technical aspects of the title sequences 1. Introduction In this essay I will discuss the technical aspects of the title sequences such as the shots, the look and texture, colour, sound, music, texts, motion and aesthetics, among others. We will look at Seven film (1995) by David Fincher and Catch Me if You Can released in 2002, directed by Steven Spielberg as my chosen title sequences. 2.
In the article, Eisenstein: ‘Intellectual Montage’, Poststructuralism, and Ideology’ written by Jason Lindop, he explains that montage can be seen as ‘a central concern in these works us how a series of images can, when correctly composed by the filmmaker and then interrupted by the viewer, produce and abstract concept not strictly present in each of the composite images.’ (Lindop, 2007). Intellectual montage is when we see different images that are different to each other but can be connected in the conveying of meaning and a metaphor that can be visually seen. In another article written about A Man with a Movie Camera, Eisenstein states its ‘different forms ‘Cinema of Attraction’ and experimented with a form of film editing which attempted to produce the greatest emotional response in a viewer by conflicting two different shots side created by juxtaposition.’ (“Man with the…”,
DBA Student : Romeo B. Leneses Jr. Astrological Sign: PISCES Subject: Philosophy of Business Professor: Dr. Carlos Manapat The Book of Eli Superbly written and astonishing storytelling! At first, I thought the Book of Eli is just another ferocious film featuring what life would have been after the judgement day.
More importantly, the conceptual montage is what reveals the key things to highlight about the story even though the shots are not continually edited to make up a story. Each shot is taken from random times and at random places. This helps in knowing the theme of uncertainty, just like a person not living a civilized and lawful life will experience not having a life with purpose or sense of direction. It can be seen through how the shots are taken because it brings the viewer’s eye to different directions. And just like the characters themselves, they are uncertain of what their actions may lead them
