    Gasland And Fracknation: Film Analysis

    "Gasland" and "Fracknation" are two documentary films based off hydraulic fracturing. Hydraulic fracturing as indicated by dictionary.com is the forcing open of fissures in subterranean rocks by introducing liquid at high pressure, especially to extract oil or gas. Hydraulic fracturing started as a trial in 1947. It is a technique where a high weight of liquid (more often than not chemicals suspended in water) is infused into a wellbore to make splits in the profound rock arrangements through which regular gas, petroleum, and salt water will flow all more freely.

    Seabiscuit Film Analysis

    Due to unfortunate circumstances, I will be lecturing you solely from Gary Ross' Seabiscuit with Randy Newman composing the soundtrack. For a brief overview, the movie starts with a wealthy man, Charles Howard, losing his son and looking for some way to grieve. He begins to race horses and meets Tom Smith, an old-time horse trainer. Together, they spot the unconventional Seabiscuit who Smith sees potential that no one else does. Smith convinces Howard to buy the horse and they find Red Pollard to ride the horse. All of the key parts of this movie are unconventional: Red is too big to be a jockey, Seabiscuit is too small to be a prized horse and Smith is well past his time but somehow they make it work. Seabiscuit gains popularity in a time where Americans needed to be distracted from the Depression Era. The movie continues by Howard wanting Seabiscuit to go up against the "greatest" horse, War Admiral. War Admiral's owner wants no part to do with it. Eventually, they agree to race but not before Pollard seriously injures himself. Seabiscuit is ridden by the greatest jockey of all time and beats the War Admiral. In the next race, Seabiscuit also injures himself. The rest of the movie is Seabiscuit and Red recovering together and later winning the last race shown in…

    Tom Brennan Film Analysis

    For a person's character to be built or changed, there needs to be a significant experience to provoke them into taking the first steps. This can be seen through the entirety of The Story of Tom Brennan, in the first few lines of the novel Tom says ‘I wanted to be back home having a barbie. Having our normal Australia day. Our Brennan Australia Day, the way we always did.” The colloquialism of the statement and the three words ‘home’, ‘Brennan’, and ‘always’ all used together show that all Tom wants is to have the positive family environment and traditions of the past that because of his brother’s stupidity in causing the car accident he believes he will never be able to have again. Later in the novel Tom decides to visit his brother in gaol, Tom states ‘I took the books out carefully, page…

    Sergeant York Movie Analysis

    In the movie Sergeant York my group and I decided to do the scene in which Alvin York gets struck by lightning. In my opinion is the turning point of the character, because Alvin is known as the “bad boy” in town. He does not have very much respect, and this scene is completely life changing to the character. The scene first starts off Alvin riding his horse in a very bad thunderstorm. The sound is a non-diegetic orchestra that is playing immensely loud. The orchestra music builds a lot of tension because while its playing there is lighting striking. The music perfectly captures the audience attention because viewers will be sucked in thinking that Alvin York is gonna die or get struck by lighting because the music is emphasized with its weird medallic tune that creates the eerie feeling of “whats going to happen”. Coincidentally Alvin ends up getting struck by lighting. Almost immediately after he gets struck by lightning, the orchestra music is switched to the background with a different tone. Initially the tone of Alvin riding his horse during the storm was very unpleasant and suspenseful but the aftermath of being hit by the lightning changed it from being a dark atmosphere to a light. The music changes to a very peaceful and calm orchestra. With the music becoming very calm signifies Alvin York’s reawakening as a character. During the impact of him being…

    The Revenant Film Analysis

    Stunning scenes of landscapes, trees, and clouds fill the scenes of The Revenant. Snow fills the open-void of the wilderness and sunlight bleeds through the spaces between the tall, dark trees. The camera mainly focuses on Hugh Glass as he attempts to take his revenge upon John Fitzgerald, who murdered Hugh’s son. The camera pans smoothly during calm shots of vistas and nature, while the camera rapidly shakes during the intense attacks of the Native Americans. Rivers flow smoothly, and in some shots, Hugh’s fearful, beaten face fills the frame as he struggles to evade the threats of Native Americans. The contrasting nature of the scenes in The Revenant is effective in immersing the viewers in the environment, portraying a message of conservation, and developing a captivating, simplistic storyline.…
