This brings forth the question, “ Has computer-generated imagery in cinema gone too far?” In recent years CGI has become synonymous with the Hollywood blockbuster look. While many traditionalists will frown on the overt use of VFX, the extent of its presence remains unknown to most. The reason for this is that the computer graphics that are most effective are integrated so seamlessly within a production that they are overlooked. In this context, the animator and visual effects artist truly fulfills their purpose: selling the imagined as real. Typically, the most apparent CGI tends to be the least effective in its objective. This could be caused by various factors such as hard deadlines or short budgets. Typically, the artist or computer can not be singled out as a sole culprit. A good example is The Scorpion King, which is notorious for containing some of the worst special effects in the history of film-making. The explanation for this is that the film was released prematurely, under the pressure of the producers. The result encompassed computer graphics that were not fully rendered. In an instance such as this, neither the artist or computer can be to…

In the movie “Cool Hand Luke,” it seems that Lucas Jackson continuous rebellion about conformist ideals resulted in his immortality, regardless of his eventual death. In the beginning of the movie, Jackson’s choice to cut off the heads of parking meters is not only symbolic of breaking a norm, but also the breaking of something that restricts individuals from freely going about their lives. Parking meters cap the amount of time a person can stay in a certain place, thus keeping the individual in control and following the rules. The breakage of these restraints of freedom clearly represents Jackson’s own desire to rupture the limitations that are placed upon him by society. Although he is drunk and perhaps not in the best state of mind, he chooses not to go off on a shooting spree or rob a place, but rather Jackson breaks what he believes hinders society from being free. Unfortunately, he is not met with kindness and praise for attempting to liberate himself and society, but rather sent to jail, the ultimate place of restriction.…

Formalistic filmmaking involves the director's unique aesthetic view of how the film should be presented to the audience. While realistic films are presented with a style of "how it appears onscreen is how it would be seen if present during the events of the film", formalistic expression allows the style of the director to shine through and impress upon the audience somewhat of a "distorted" reality. The various techniques of filmmaking are used to present a stylization of reality by manipulating certain aspects, such as camera angles and movements or the use of editing to warp time and space. These manipulations are often made to be obvious choices by the director in order to call attention to his own style.…
