Shaka King's Mulignans Analysis

My biggest revelation was how much difference it made to establish clarity in post-production. I spiced up a lot of elements between the rough cut and the final one. In the scene where he was reading the letter leading to the montage of him researching without any results, I added the lines of the letter on the screen because it was not clear why he was so stressed in the rough cut. Also from Grant's advice I should try revealing the killing scene sooner, I decided to mix the killing scene with the scientist's scene of discovering his findings. I also added a lot of additional takes in a faster pace according to Tim's comment. The edit was basically using the same clips but in a different manner, trying to catch all the beats. The result was a final cut that was much more effective than the rough one.

He was the most constructive critic I've experienced out of all. His criticism for my PROD 200 rough cut was that it used too much handheld it lost its delivery as a whole. He said that he didn't buy it. His comment on my film was really true. At the beginning I have always thought of utilizing handheld to make the scenes look as real as possible. But apparently, using too much handheld not professionally resulted in unnecessarily excessive camera shaking. This made my film looked really amateur in the end. I cannot help but feel a bit discontent in the final cut even I tried to eliminate many of the weird jaggy handheld shots. As a successful cinematography, Tommy really criticized in depth (by this I truly mean scene by scene) all the other shorts which gave me insight into my friends' works and how I can improve myself later on in terms of

To address the audience portion of that I would like to point out that previous to this Remix we had done another project where we presented to the class so my group had a pretty good idea on how to reach our target audience. All we had to do is convert our pieces about ourselves into something that could reach a broader audience. We thought that the best way to do that is to embody more people's experiences and stories. To get this done we interviewed a couple of people we thought that would have backgrounds different than ourselves. We answered questions that pulled ideas from each piece of writing.

First, you did an excellent job with your essay. The format was easy to follow. However, I would suggest adding whether or not pathos and ethos are incorporated into the video “Drunk History: Claudette Colvin and Rosa Parks” in your first body paragraph. For example, Colvin and Parks being mistreated for not moving for a white passenger on the bus could represent pathos. Furthermore, I agree that logos is portrayed in this video through the organization and facts of the woman’s speech.

In "What Writing Is", King likens writing to telepathy. He is able to convey thoughts and images to the reader without actually saying anything. I have never thought of writing as a form of telepathy before, but I do see the resemblances. In the chapter entitled "Toolbox", King talks about vocabulary, grammar, and structure. On vocabulary King asserts that its best to use the first word that comes to our mind.

The King’s shadow is a historical fiction that takes place during King Harold’s reign and specifically focuses on a young peasant named Evyn. As you might expect like any young person Evyn has dreams, specifically he wanted to become a storyteller. This is important as storytellers around this time, according to the book at least, often used their voices tell these tales rather than letting an individual read them. However, as you might expect from a story set during the medieval period Evyn’s dream will be stolen before he was even given a chance to even try. This was done by a group of thugs who not only cut off Evyn’s tongue, causing him to lose his voice, but also took it one step further and killed Evyn’s father.

I chose this film because it showed how hard the union workers and families worked in fighting racial injustices, and because it inspired myself to move forward with strong ideologies and pride. 2. Stereotyping in mass media was an important concern of Chicana/o media activists because it imprinted a demeaning label by only casting Chicana/o actors with "minor roles: villains, sidekicks, temptresses, where their main function is to provide the protagonists, typically a handsome white

W.L. Mackenzie King’s decision to conscript soldiers during WWII is necessary and justified. The poster 's message is to simply convince Canadian citizens to agree that conscription is necessary for the Allies to win the war. The propaganda poster is targeted towards Canadian citizens but mainly young males and French Canadians living in Quebec. It is important to target French Canadians to agree with conscription because majority of French Canadians voted “no” and are against conscripting soldiers for the reason that they feel excluded and not connected to the war. Whereas, English Canadians feel nationalism causing them to agree with conscription and vote “yes”.

For example, what I found very different from the play was that when the interviewer asked:”What would you say to Mckinney if you see him again?” and the reaction of people was obvious, they were angry and saying that “I would definitely shake him, and ask him why would you do that!”. Through the layering of different scenes, it created more of a tense mood and strong emotions because we can see the reactions being put together instead of one after one. The directing of the movie was impressive, especially the scene where Aaron Kreifels talked to Amanda about how he found out that Matthew’s body was against the fence.

“It 's a ghost town rabid underworld / Dionysian night vitriolic twilight / A mirage comes up it never ends”. (Distillers) California is synonymous with the glitz and glamor seen in Hollywood movies. People not living in California fail to see that amongst all the glamour lies cities that at one time were amongst the most dangerous cities. California has a modern noir that resonates in particularly in the city of Los Angles amongst the star stricken Hollywood stars.

He made films to express his personality. A lack of funding was a limitation for him to make his films, but he was still able to reach something that he wanted in his film.

He made movies not for input

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.

Sher became recognized for a distinct “handheld” style. He feels that: “…. a lot of it is also dictated by the actual nature of making the movie. That movie was a twenty-day shoot in New York with very little money. But I do think that represents something that I continue to do even though it’s an early film with very, very little money, which is, it has some of the same aesthetics that I still fall through on, but also a fair amount of hand held.

Parallel editing was present in the film wherein it was edited in a way that two scenes were alternating to make it appear that they were happening simultaneously (Lorber, 2010). High and low angled shots were also present, and panoramic shots as well. The editing that I liked the most was in the scene when The Machine Man was made to look like Maria. The surge of electricity in this particular scene and the orbits going up and down The Machine Man was what amazed me. It is shocking that in order for this to happen, the people responsible for editing had to film this frame by frame so imagine the hours, days, weeks or even months that were put into this particular scene.
