Film Analysis: I Heated/Loved Eye Contact
I heated/loved Eye Contact. It is a short film, set mostly on a forest path. A woman Jogs threw the forest wile music in the background implies impending doom. She makes her way to the lighthouse and ascends the stairs. Upon reaching the top she takes a break and looks at the beach. On the boardwalk of the beach there is a lone man staring up at her. A little disconcerted she backs off, goes back to the ground and her woods path. After jogging nearly no time at all she stops to get a lump out of her shew and still feeling a little unsettled looks back down the path. A sudden increase in intensity and volume from the music, combined with a rapid zoom in that just freaks you out even before you see it, the man is staring at her from the lighthouse!!! …show more content…
They just do such a good job of presenting it. The way they cut in on the runners facial expressions inspires so much empathy for her situation, especially in girls that have been fallowed before. Then the mysteriousness of the man. I love/hate how you don't really see the psycho. You just see a slightly transparent silhouette which makes it even more unsettling. The way he makes no sound and their is no warning for his sudden appearances. You kind of get the feeling he isn't really a man at all. He reminds me of the torivors in the Beyonders book. Then I just love they way they work with the scenery. It probably would have been better if they had set it at a darker time of day but other than that it was great. The scariest place was probably the woods. I just love the way the trees obstruct the lighting and cast uneven shadows all over the place. Then the lighthouse is a very interesting element of the setting. It is an ideal watching aria and even before you go in they keep pointing to it with an increase in scary music. I was afraid of It even before we saw the man. Also the tightness of the stairs. I just kept thinking, “Its going to be hard to get away from their.” And the dirt road, this one is cool because its more open than the wooded path. You can see pretty far and the man doesn't seam to be any where. It seams like you are safe. Then you look again and he is just there. No warning, just bam with a burst of scary music. Then the music. O my goodness. It is spot on. I could rave about this even tho I hated it. It was so good and on point. Every action had music attached to it. Every time the man popped up their was a sudden increase in speed, volume, and intensity that just got your heart racing and made you jump. Then it calms down to just a little underlying doom and jumps right back up again making you jump even harder. It was just awesome and by far the best and most important part of the hole film. But I did like what

    After realizing that Colin is dead, Carol eyes open in disbelief and a shriek discomforts viewers. Both silence and sound, like in this scene, is used throughout the film to create tension and emphasize terror. During the beginning of the film, music is lively and upbeat. At the salon, nondiegetic sounds of a flute and jazz paint a peaceful scenery. As Carol walks home, viewers hear traffic sounds and live band music. During the day birds are chirping, airplanes fly overhead, and the elevator door is heard frequently. At night, sounds which were once peaceful turn unpleasant. The church bell that strikes at midnight awakens Carol from her sleep, it becomes louder and louder as if taunting her when suddenly everything goes silent. The silence encourages viewers to listen closely. Helen’s moans and breaths are softly hear across the room but like the church bells, they intensify and mock…

    Where McDonagh really shines, predictably, is the writing. I loved the dialogue in this movie. It’s so witty, profane, dark and sometimes profound. I found it comparable to Tarantino in a way, but I liked this much more.…

    In the start of the film the screen is black which builds up the tension as black is a dark colour and it is also associated with danger. The music is very quiet, slow and gradually increases in pace. In the opening shot, something is shown to be moving under the sea. It's the creature's point of view moving through the weeds which indicates to the audience that something is down there. The Camera Pans across the seascape. The audience is put in the creature's position as if it is looking for food. The music gets louder and louder and increases in tempo. The music sounds like someone's heartbeat getting faster and faster when they are scared.…

    The movie is shot mostly from “the office” which is actually Alonzo’s car. The day is dark and gloomy which puts a nice touch to what is going on in the movie. Watching the movie makes the audience feels like as if they are there in person. The spots they picked to shoot the movie also really show what the drug world would look and feel like. It makes the movie so hard to stop watching.…

    People watch; it’s what they do naturally and they enjoy doing it, and according to theorists Linda Williams and Laura Mulvey, it is that visual appetite and the pleasure found in its fulfilment that leads to a natural viewer engagement with the camera, and its ability to observe, in film. This viewer engagement and its companion…

    Cold Equations

    The Cold Equations This short story by Tom Godwin is a very sentimental and lesson learning story. Briefly, it is about a ship on a designated mission which encounters a problem because the pilot on the ship encounters a stowaway, a young girl, and every stowaway found on board must be jettisoned, it was the law and there was absolutely no appeal. Marilyn, the stowaway’s name, was simply a teen and all she wanted was to see her brother whom she hadn’t seen in over 10 years she really meant no harm but she chose to ignore the warning sign in front of the ship. The EDS ships were only equipped with a certain amount of fuel that would reach them only to their designated destination, h amount of fuel would not power an EDS with mass of m plus x safely to it’s destination. Although it was very saddening that the pilot had to kill Marilyn, there was nothing else that could be done. If he would have let her stay on board he would die along with the other 6 men waiting on the EDS for the cure to their survival. In my opinion, his decision was justified, it was the law and he had done all he could do to help the poor girl but it wasn’t merely enough. The first reason to believe that the pilot’s decision was justified was because it was very logical and ethical. He had not other choice it was the law to kill a stowaway on board, no matter if it was a beautiful girl, beauty had no partake in this scenario it wasn’t like Earth. The pilot really did care about Marilyn’s life and he really did not want to kill her but, if it wouldn’t have been done the lives of many others would also have been gone. Although he did not want, he would have had no other choice. Either way there really was no win because if he would have let Marilyn stay on board and not jettisoned her, in the long run she would still have died along with the pilot and the other men counting on the EDS with the fever serum it was carrying. The second reason to believe the pilot’s…

    Another aspect that’s great is how the film juxtaposes the sterile cleanliness and the total order and security of the dome with the harsh reality of Carrousel. Because the population is so enamoured by the hedonist lifestyle of the domed city, the Carrousel is depicted as a sport of sorts to them as they cheer on, making them numb to the reality of the situation. This can also be said of the ice cave below, which looks calm and serine, yet hides a horrible truth beneath.…
