    Fearless Play Analysis

    This is shown in scene 8 when Carlotta is at one of her lowest points and feels belittled; the use of tension and rhythm in this scene creates an unnerving and challenging setting. Another issue is of people talking but not actually hearing or understanding each other, this issue is addressed in scene 16, this scene highlights how even when the characters are together and interacting they are still dwelling in this box of isolation and loneliness. In this scene Clipper and Gizmo are conversing at a bar, but it is just small talk and chitchat, it doesn’t even seem like they are actually hearing what each other are saying. In class we divided up into characters and performed monumental scenes that showed daily struggles of these peoples…

    E. T The Extraterrestrial: Movie Analysis

    In this scene, the communication takes form of a small group communication were four people are sharing ideas that are verbal and non-verbal. Communication occurs in a transactional model where we have sources and receivers that deliver messages to the parties involved. When one party speaks they usually receive feedback such as when Elliot asks E.T where he was from and E.T provided feedback by pointing. The channels of the communication are vocal and visual.

    Tim Burton's Cinematic Techniques

    Both high-key and low-key lighting were used in the movie “Edward Scissorhands” to create a joyful and happy mood but also a sad and depressed mood. For example, when Edward is at his castle the lighting is low-key to create a mood. But, when Edward is at Peg’s families house, the lighting is high-key to create more of a happier mood. Another example is in the movie “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, Tim Burton again uses lighting to create a certain kind of mood. In the scene, the children are all waiting outside to go inside the factory, where the lighting is low-key and gloomy but when they go inside the lighting changes and so does the mood. The lighting gets brighter, the mood gets lifted and the scene gets colorful.…

    drama assessment on dennis kellys 'DNA'

    …….asked us to create a stylised performance using the narrator’s text; DNA by Dennis Kelly. We, had to use still images, mime and movement and a section from to play to be delivered in response to Stanislavski. We stayed our performance by having …… and …. as the two naturalistic performers, sitting side by side on the floor, quite far apart from each other to show the audience the lack of closeness between…. and …. Leah being the main narrator, sat up on her knees, inviting the audience in to listen and seemed more comforting and engaged, whereas Phil communicated with the audience with the lack of focus and response, showing have far away Phil really is to understanding Leah’s thoughts and feelings. The actors facial features were kept very minimal, neural expressions which showed no emotion allowing the other two character to really communicate and show the audience what they really think and feel. We did this to support our interpretation of the characters and what we got from the play which was that Leah had deep feelings for Phil, which he took for granted. I played Leah’s conscience, alongside….., who played Phil’s. I and …..walked up to each other hesitantly, showing the lack of communication between the characters as their unsure of their relationship. We help our hands out towards each other after we had separated to communicate through the use of gesture, to the audience that we do truly need each other, we just can’t show it. This was my idea, and I think it was successful because I really wanted to show to the audience the true feelings of the two characters and I think this was a good moment to communicate with the audience. I contrasted with …. tone of voice, as she uses a soft yet pleading tone, I respond to it with an aggressive tug of Sam’s arm, silently beginning him to respond. Leah’s self-conscious, in coherent character and Phil’s stubborn blindness, stops them communicating, and I believe this is why their relationship is so strained and…

    You can see that there is a value right at the center of the picture where the gradation goes from dark in the foreground to light in the background.

    Use of camera angles was done in a scene where a close-up image of Liz’s face, her bright, over-the-top makeup and styled hair, is followed immediately with an identical close-up of Fran’s simple, plain face. This shows the obvious dissimilarity between the two characters, and emphasises Fran’s alienation from the ballroom world.…

    Scene Analysis Of A Sequence In 28 Days Later

    28 days later is a controversial, contemporary noir, horror hybrid, directed by Danny Boyle and released in 2002. The film contains themes of escapism, fear, religion and rationalizes zombies to create fear for a contemporary audience. As Danny Boyle didn’t want to create a ‘run of the mill’ zombie cliché, he chose to run the idea of fear than illness, something society has created so the fear (virus – rage) becomes a psychological sickness in the film. The film follows Jim awakening 28 days following the infection, after he was in a coma. While trying to rationalize seeing a deserted London the first infected he encounters is a priest, which shows the modern day disillusionment of religion as a priest is whom you usually seek sanctuary from. He begins a quest to seek others in his confused state. During his ‘quest’ he is saved by the female protagonist; Selena who shows her only priority of surviving. The only other female character in this film is…

This in turn adds depth, power and authenticity to ones’ work. The play ‘the club; written by David Williamson, the film ‘Meet Joe Black’ directed by Martin Brest and the lyrics “Father and Son’ by Cat Stevens all allow the audience to connect with the characters effectively through the composers’ use of language techniques and themes of dialogue.…
