Film producers use different presentational devices to give the audience hints about the characters and actions going on in the film. Using the characters James Braddock and Max Baer from the film Cinderella Man‚ I am going to investigate how film producers use camera angles‚ costume‚ and lighting‚ settings‚ music and character interaction to create more meaning for the audience. I will specifically be looking at the creation of James Braddock as a good character and Max Baer as a bad character.

The film Metropolis‚ Fritz Lang adopts the same way of thinking as Eliot. Lang depicts the fragmented society through social stratification. He depicts the bourgeois as people who lead a callous and monotonous life in order to serve the wealthy upper class. The crescendo in the non-diegetic music with the addition of wavering vector lines in the beginning of the film forebodes the exploitation of the working class and creates a sense of chaos. The centralisation of the clock indicates that the workers

The temporary transvestite films have offered a different perspective for a mass audience that isn’t used to these different gender constructions. In the movie I watched‚ Some Like it Hot‚ they did a very good job by making the whole disguise thing very funny and easy to follow once you get into it. It wasn’t normal at all back in the 50s for any one sex to dress like another. There was a very large audience that wanted to see these transvestites dressed in different situations‚ getting away from

Since 1968‚ there have been at least 25 films made that portray the events of the Vietnam War. Historians have to ask themselves when watching these films‚ "Did the fictional character represent historical figures accurately? Is this how a soldier would react in this situation?" The point of view of the director of the film can change with simple alterations in camera angles. For example‚ a view from the ground of a battle seen can show how the innocent people had the war in their own backyards

Cisneros Film Noir Assignment 1--How is the mood of Sunset Boulevard representative of the Film Noir style? The mood of the film is immediately established as decadent and decaying by the posthumous narrator - a dead man floating face-down in a swimming pool in Beverly Hills. As we fade backward into the story‚ we quickly come to understand that this film is about "behind the scenes" Hollywood‚ self-deceit‚ spiritual and spatial emptiness‚ and the price of fame‚ greed‚ narcissism‚ and ambition

Matrix (1999). One of the first major differences between the films is the amount of close-ups that are involved in The Matrix and Metropolis. Metropolis consists of very few close-ups and an abundance of wide shots. The wide shots linger‚ giving the audience the ability to see everything happening within that frame composition instead of cutting away to a new angle. One scene in particular stands out with close-ups from this film. While Rotwang is in his lab working on the Machine Man‚ various

In particular‚ the muted‚ even dark‚ lighting of the movie helped to encapsulate the grave and haunting feel that was present throughout the whole novel. During the independent film‚ it was unmistakable that the events that were about to unfold on the screen were going to be heavy. Even the camera angles allowed for the film to give the viewer a raw and obtainable experience. Also‚ to connect the picture back to the novel from which it originated‚ the set of the houses and town were identical to how
