ANALYSTIC REPORT ON MISE-EN-SCENE AND SOUNDTRACK ON BLADE RUNNER FINAL CUT.
The almost five minute scene cut out of the blade runner consists of loads of Mise-en-scene and wonderfully placed sound tracks.
Firstly, I am going to discuss the costumes and make-up. I observed that most people are wearing futuristic clothes which is very bright and colourful. This makes us the viewers believe the film was made in the future. Moreover about the lighting and colour it was a very dark scene, this also made it clear and obvious that it was night time. However while Harrison Fords is chasing his victim through the crowds and busy roads, we hear different people talking, cars making noises, we also hear the walk, don’t walk crossing machine which is kind of insisting to be heard at that time. Even our characters running. These are all diegetic sounds. This shows us as viewers how busy this road is and how uneasy it was for Harrison to catch her. Furthermore we could hear ambient sounds while she was running for her life, the panting was heard really well. When the woman was shot, we could hear the beating of her heart which tells us (the viewers) that she’s dying, and that she probably needs someone to save her or revive her from what’s happening. This occurs as a part of diegetic sound because it is actually real BUT it is also a part of a Foley sound (fake) because the heart beat was made intensified, which is more audible for us to hear. The performance and movement of the actor as a Mise-en-scene actually makes us feel sorry for her. He also with his facial expressions it gives us the impression that he didn’t want to kill her or he also felt some kind of pity for her. Although, the scene where the

    The Notebook

    The Notebook is one of my favorite love movies of all time. The reason I love this movie so much is because that main characters Noah and Allie go through so many trials and finally end up together in the end. This movie I feel shows me how strong their love for each other really was and I now feel as if it is meant to be it will always find a way. Looking at the movie as a reference to get a better understanding of how lifespan development works, I realized that most of the trials that Noah and Allie went though were part of stages of development. The theory of stages of development was created by Erik Erikson, he believes that we go though certain stages in our life and if we do not get passed them properly we will end up with underdeveloped skills in our lives. The Notebook has many different stages that the main characters go though such as, stage eight, integrity vs. despair, stage five, identity vs. identity confusion, and stage six, intimacy vs. isolation.…

    This is a movie about the Battle of Mogadishu or commonly known as Black Hawk down. It started on the 3rd of October with what was supposed to be a quick “snatch and grab” operation. The operation was only to last thirty minutes. Under the command of Capt. Mike Steele they were to insert soldiers to capture two top lieutenants of a warlord Mohamed Farrrah Aidid. Things went terribly wrong when a black hawk was shot down by an RPG (rocket propelled grenade). It then became a rescue mission to save the soldiers from the crash site. The next thing they knew there were hundreds of Somali gunmen. They were now fighting for their lives. In the process of fighting their way to the crash site another black hawk was shot down. Now Rangers and Delta Force were fighting their way to two crash sites. In the process they secure the first crash site and are blocked in almost every direction. At a certain point in time two Delta Force snipers volunteered to cover the second crash site until a convoy could help get the downed pilot CW4 Michael Durant and in turn gave their lives defending him. They fought through the night facing thousands of militia, women and children. On the morning of the second day they secured the second crash site while the pilot CW4 Durant was captured. Then was the move to get out of the city alive. A convoy made up of UN and 10th Mountain Div. were to extract the injured soldiers. With not enough room in the vehicles the remaining soldiers had to get out of the city on foot. Running through the city running low on ammunition and energy they made it to the stadium in the UN Safe Zone.…

    The movie is extremely well put together, the props, scene arrangements, camera movements and angles. Even with the film being in black and white the lighting was well played and designed. The mise en scene was laid out, positioned and selected methodically to encase the simplicity but elegant comforts of a stationary life that someone who wants to settle down. The set and setup contains the mundane and dullness of staying put that one would feel who like to be on the go. Not only does mise en scene, lighting, setting, camera movement and location en-capture and speaks to and out for both of the main characters it sets the mood and aids the story to grab its viewer to help them relate.…

    In another scene where Lang uses off-screen sound and precision silence effectively with the killer’s whistling motif, the killer is standing outside a storefront on a busy day and the street rumblings of the city can be heard off-screen. The sounds are loud and hectic, until the killer focuses on the reflection of a little girl in the shop window, then all the loud sounds come to a halt and the film makes you focus on his urges in dead silence, making the scene leave a lasting imprint by witnessing him fall apart just at the sight of a little girl.…

    Human beings are morally ambiguous people. We are neither purely evil nor purely good, but often a mix. And maybe that’s why many of us are attracted to literature works with morally ambiguous characters such as The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. The Kite Runner was set in Kabul, Afghanistan, proceeds to United States during the Soviet Union invasion, and then the setting goes back to Kabul when the Taliban rises in power. In this novel, Amir, to whom the whole story of the book is centered around, is a morally ambiguous character. Amir is a Pashtun boy; he betrays his friendship with Hassan, a Hazara son of Amir’s father’s servant. Guilt haunts Amir for years even after he had left Kabul and moved to United States. Amir is a morally ambiguous character because he’s a coward, he’s selfish, he betrays his friend and lies, but he also finds courage to face what he had done wrong and finds salvation.…

    First of all, it is evident that the very detailed description cannot translate to cinematic form. To replicate this, the suspense is portrayed through the faces of the young actors who are, in my view, simply not talented enough to be able to properly bring out our emotions with the poorly performed dialog.…

    This essay will discuss the central themes of the book The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini. Because the story is told at a time before the War on Terror, it brings the reader back to an Afghanistan the average American never knew existed and presents the current socio-economic reality of a United States one may choose to ignore. The description of Afghanistan before its many "occupations" is a tragedy in itself. The Author portrays a country on the cusp of greatness, which of course makes the inevitable future occupations all the more tragic. When Amir returns to Afghanistan after nearly twenty years, his shock is palpable. He has come back to an entirely different country, and only fragments remain from his past.…
