In this documentary some shots like newspaper, picture of a football, and picture of him young are edited together to make a
Narrative Rough Draft Billy Baker and his sister Taylor Baker daydreamed as they stared aimlessly out the car door window. Finally they were on the road heading east towards new beginnings. Mr. and Mrs. Baker had decided that it was in the family’s best interest that they move to a smaller town. The Baker kids grew more restless by the minute as they got closer and closer to their destination. Their new house in the small town of Clearfield, Iowa was far different from their former apartment flat in Seattle, Washington.
The editing here is reminiscent of Russian montage editing and creates a panicked feeling in the audience. The second edit I will look at is when ray drives out to a field and buries Ray alive which through the use of editing becomes one of the most suspenseful moments in the movie due to the shorts being much more drawn out. The camera also switches between being at Marty’s perspective and Rays perspective. The final edit
Kaylah Hampton At the beginning of this semester, our class came to a consensus that for a film adaptation of a story to be successful, the filmmaker must remain true to certain aspects of the original text while taking some necessary liberties to enhance the story to create a well-rounded, compelling film. We also noted that some effects are more easily conveyed in the short story version, while others are more easily conveyed in film. In the short story, “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut and its film adaptation 2081 written and directed by Chandler Tuttle, there are both subtle and dramatic changes within each, as compared to each other, that influence their respective effectiveness. Though there is an abundance of similarities and differences
Nataliya Hontar English 103 Prof. Cohn 7 October 2016 English 103 Writing Assignment Five In 2002, Steven Spielberg directed a movie titled Minority Report, which was based on a science fiction story by Philip K. Dick (“The Minority Report”), written in the 1950’s. However, even though Spielberg's action thriller is based on Dicks short story, the two are drastically different in terms of narrative and style. Although the film follows the same general plot, which is centered around roughly the same main character, the details are drastically different. Dick’s short story follows John Anderton, a married man that is self-conscious about his age and his balding, who is the creator of “Pre-Crime” and quickly gets entangled in a conspiracy.
Teddy Bear Memento is about a man named Leonard who suffers from anterograde amnesia looking for the man “John G” that raped and killed his wife. During the story, it introduces many characters in an odd format. One character sticks out more than the others. He goes by the name “Teddy” but his real name is John Gamel (John G).
At the Station Bar the scene is shot in a bright light, furthermore, the use of a wide range of scale from black and white depicts the characters: while Sarah is shown in light colors, seeming to be an innocent woman (….), Eddie uses dark dresses, and thought the audience already knows him, now, in addition, he shows different layers of clothing, from darker to lighter, which could mean that he has a good depth. In the tavern scene the light is different and it creates shadows projected by the characters. Eddie says ‘you look different’ and he is right, Sarah is shown under a different light and as a result, especially after confess that she drinks, the contrast between them is not so wide, since she is shown darker than in the preceding scene. In fact she is not so innocent. Furthermore, Eddie is enlightened with a back lighting increasing his charming.
Because a “weapon” is involved in the whole situation humans become even more distrustful of the aliens and other humans. China and Russia stop the communication with the other nations and so does the USA. Eventually no one of the twelve nations is communicating anymore (Figure 43). Instead of talking to each other they abandon exchange of information completely. Villeneuve shows what the fuzziness of language can cause.
“For the Love of Spock” intrigues Star Trek fans with Leonard Nimoy’s story of his career before and after Mr. Spock.

Throughout the film, fans, friends, and family have appreciated him for who he is, and how he treated his art. He created moments that were unforgettable for anyone who watched Star Trek.
A photograph can mean so much to different people, but it’s ultimate purpose is to capture an important moment in someone’s life and be able to hold onto a physical copy of a memory. Photographs enact a certain nostalgia for the past, the good times or perhaps an important person or location; it’s a memory you want to last indefinitely. It’s a subject many people don’t touch on when they examine a film like Blade Runner (1982), but director Ridley Scott’s film does place an emphasis on the importance of photographs and what they can mean to people. The film depicts photos as a gateway to nostalgia, the immortalization of important figures and how photographs can deceive their owners. When you hold onto a photography they are generally a preserved version of a past memory that is important or a time of happiness.
The first shows lighter, brighter shades like grass and leaves. During the war green color is presented by more “gloomy” hues like military uniform or a rocket in the night sky that Doss saw in his nightmare. The film often shows characters’ faces in close up; these frames constitute a majority of the movie. Camera focuses on characters’ faces and moves slightly following their heads’ motions. This approach makes viewers focus on people’s expressed emotions and interactions rather than their environment.
The two essays and the picture in question all have differing styles. All of the pieces also contain different focuses, which contribute to their difference in style and tone. Inaugural Address, January 20, 1961 is an account of the words that John F Kennedy spoke shortly after being sworn into the office of the president of the United States. Inside Kennedy’s Inauguration, 50 Years On by Eleanor Clift is a collection of personal of individuals who were present at the event in 1961. Inauguration of John F. Kennedy, the photograph captured by the United States Army of Signal Corps, shows a clear depiction of the event.
In the year 2000, the philosophical movie genre was once again revolutionized when the psychological thriller, Memento, was released. Directed by Christopher Nolan and portrayed by Guy Pearce, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Joe Pantoliano, Memento became an instant classic, as Christopher Nolan again blew audiences away as Memento 's plot was portrayed chronologically backward, with flashbacks leading to the movie 's climax. It was praised by many neuroscientists for it is nearly a perfect representation of how memory works when limited by a mental deficiency. Memento dove into the different philosophical topics of memory, mind, and personal identity. Memento follows the life of ex-insurance investigator, Leonard Shelby, who is hunting
It is about two major components, design and composition. One design hand, not only in this scene, but also the whole movie’s tone tends to use bright lighting to emphasize on the nervous environment in 1970s. The bright color in the scene shows the aesthetic, stressing on characters’ emotion and contemporary society’s situation. The based tone of the whole movie is to stress on the position between the main characters and the white people and the main characters change their the character when they face different kind of people. When Katherine is work in the calculation room, the color usually cold color because the calculation room give audiences the stress feeling.
As a brick house relies on a stable structure to support the house, a story relies on a narrative structure to not only support but to add to the overall story. In contrast to the traditional linear storytelling, Chronicles of a Death Foretold has a circular structure; the narrator takes the reader on a journalistic investigation (also known as an inverse detective) which keeps time looping back upon itself. Each section starts and ends within a few hours, the action of the novel is covered, but with this, the story goes off in digressions, flashbacks, and flashforwards, with the different people 's accounts of what happened. Marquez’s wordsmanship is impeccable, and despite the confusion, many may encounter, the story is extremely tight. We learn about the histories of numerous characters and get a basic character profile of each character detailing, their backgrounds leading up to Santiago 's death, and the reader learns about where life took them after his death.
