Continuity editing was used to show the importance of the back and forth conversation. Nice shot-reverse-shot.…
The cinematography within the clips also helped to create an enigma within the trailers through editing, camera shots and angles. The editing was incredibly fast paced, including jump cuts from scene to scene showing a jigsaw of different clips which are not in a linear order therefore causing confusion and an enigma for the audience – this was mainly seen within Let The Right One In. another element of cinematography shown was the use of close up camera shots – close ups are commonly used to show emotion and reactions…
A number of scenes create a summary relationship between the story timeline and the screen duration. The film begins in East Berlin around November 1984 and though most of the plot takes place during this time reference, the story’s full timeline is almost a decade long. The following scenes complement the narrative because they allow the viewer to understand the historical changes in the setting (for example – the fall of the Berlin Wall) and the changes in the characters (for example – Wiesler is demoted from Captain to letter opening clerk):…

This cuts to a dark medium-wide shot of what appears like a silhouette of the character. With a pan, it remains dark until a desk light is turned on, revealing a crowded and seemingly disorganized office space. Another cut reveals a medium-close shot of the main character with overhead lighting that is supposed to be coming solely from the desk lamp. This relatively stationary shot, only panning when the characters moves, focuses on the distraught character trying to comfort and make sense of the proceeding events to the clip. This relatively dialogue free shot reveals not much to the audience; only that this character would like to record observations. This shot is very crowded with visuals which also add to the confusing theme being portrayed. One final cut to a close up shot with similar lighting finally gives the audience insight into the mind of the character as they begin noting their observations. This shot is clear from distractions and gives the audience some relief and closure that has been build up with the proceeding cuts. Altogether there are 5 different shots being presented, all of which have very distinct length and composure that proceed to confusion and closure to the audience, as well as a smooth development…
There is then a montage of fast-paced, edgy video sequences of the main characters in order to introduce them to the audience. Jump cuts have been used in order to make the montage flow well and it is a good example of continuity as the fast-paced montage matches the edgy background music.…
The most important take away from this movie, one that all the emotions and Riley learn, is that not all memories (especially the core memories) have to be only one emotion, they can be, but in most situations, it’s okay to feel upset and happy in the same memory. For instance, when Joy finds the memory of Riley when she and her teammates lost the hockey game. At first the “memory bubble” is blue with sadness, but then the team comes over and hoists her up in the air, which cheers her up turning the bubble golden again. This process is called reframing, or in this case reframing memories. Joy at the beginning of the movie only saw things in an upbeat manner, so therefore all of the memories she was in control of were happy because that is the mindset Riley was in.…
The flash-forwards are dulled in hue and create a visual contrast to the rest of the film. The scenes happen almost automatically after the encounter and a jump cut is used, Within the scene images are pieced together in a montage are used to depict the individuals new future, with the sound of a flash from a camera going off to signify that this is a snapshot of pivotal points that influence the whole new life, these sequences depict the future yet to come. Almost like ultimate universe and the paths and actions that influence us to get there, Lola’s impact on others destiny also shows how powerful she is as an individual and her influence on others.…
The specific technique of cross-cutting was used in the film “Vanishing Point”. Cross-cutting is cutting between two scenes that are happening at the same time but in different locations. In this film it would cross back from Kowalski furiously driving on the road, and cut to Dj super bowl. The Dj would talk about the police chase that was happening on the road and then it would cut back to the actual police chase that was happening with Kowalski. Kowalski was driving extremely fast, without stopping throughout the whole movie because he wanted to achieve the bet of coming to the end. Kowalski eventually beats the police chase and finishes his bet while reaching his end point. Throughout the film of “Two-Lane Blacktop”, the film technique of speed of motion was used throughout the entire movie. The speed of motion takes control of the driver, like a feeling of intoxication. The use of wide-angle shots is portrayed to emphasis the idea of speed. Wide-angle shots can be used to suggest a misleading reality, which is what they did to emphasis the motion of the car, making it look faster than it actually is. In the movie “Duel”, the point of view is strictly directed from the truck, and not the truck driver. The point of view refers to the position from which the character, an event, or an object is filmed. The point of view of Duel is an objective point of view because throughout the movie it focuses on the object rather then the character who is driving the vehicle. The driver is the machine throughout the whole movie, because we never see the drivers face or know his true identity. Throughout the film of Duel he has no real sense or quest of where he is going but his goal is to survive on the road and not become hurt or diminished by the large forceful truck. Throughout the three movies of “Two-Lane Blacktop”,…
This creative writing piece is in the form of an additional scene to Arthur Millers The Crucible. This scene takes place two months after the end of the Salem witch trials. It is a conversation between Mr Hale and Elizabeth Proctor. It explores and evaluates the long term devastation caused by greed and self-interest. This piece displays how dramatic the effects of greed and selfishness can be. Mr Hale reveals his own inner turmoil since the trials, and how his own pride and arrogance contributed to the hangings. Elizabeth reinforces the idea of morality, mainly in defence of her late husband. This piece is written to serve as an example of how greed can corrupt and destroy everything. It is directed to western society presently as greed is becoming a greater issue in all facets of people’s lives. Taking place in a time where many customs and ideas seem idiotic to the modern world helps provide a sense of irony because as it seems people have evolved and gained more knowledge since then greed is still as devastating regardless of time period.…
This made the story more suspenseful because it shows how fast something is moving and it leaves you thinking whats going to happen next.This happens in the story when the other sniper shot at the republican sniper after shooting the turret and old lady because he “suddenly” shot. This part makes the story more suspenseful because it leaves you wonder what happened to the other sniper that got shot at. Another time this happened was when the sniper “quickly” drew his knife after being shot. This made the story more suspenseful because it leaving you wondering what the sniper is going to do and why he drew the knife so quickly.…
For my choice of sequence I have chosen the salatso murder. I have chosen this sequence because it is an important sequence not only to the story the movie tells, but cinematically as well. Reasons for cinematic importance include; the use of sound, such as the train noise in relation to michael's internal conflict, the variations of shots for different parts of the sequence, and the variation of light as the sequence matures With michael's progress in the murder.…
The second section of the song, Section B, describes how quickly my feet pick up from the ground as I end the race with a big fight to the end. This quickness is represented by the Irreversible Beat.1, the Next Wave Bear 01.1, the Rattle Reverse Topper.1, and the Aggressive Stance Bass.1 beats because they…
Through the use of editing, the shot duration becomes longer when the two adults were speaking in the office. This could present them as slow, which conforms to their stereotype. When Amy returns to the scene a quick edit is used to represent a young, lively enthusiastic person. This represents how young people are energetic. When the old lady nearer the end of…
