In The Public Enemy (1931) a high camera angle in the scene would show a vulnerable or weak character. This can be seen when the Tommy confronts Putty in his apartment. The high camera angle shows Putty as his weakest point‚ begging for mercy. These camera angles and lighting direction are described well in John Alton’s first book called Painting with Light

A Certain Tendency of the Hollywood Cinema‚ by Robert Ray‚ looks at the various opposing values in America through the history of Hollywood films and cinema‚ which one vital value is the dichotomy of outlaw hero versus official hero.

are Basically the key elements to what make up crime fiction texts or any text in particular. Conventions help keep the viewer intrigued whilst adding tension and creating copious amounts of suspense. Examples of these Conventions in films are Scarface‚ Breaking Bad‚ The Taken series‚ The Godfather and the one which I’m currently analysing‚ The Dark Knight. Christopher Nolan’s‚ The Dark Knight is not fiction in the usual way the superhero films are. There is no godlike alien wandering the Earth

But unlike Paramount‚ MGM did relatively well during 30-45 because it had a smaller theatre chain‚ thus less debts.

Kauffman’s review of Flight of the Innocent he talks about the “egregious huge close-ups‚ pointless slo-mo‚ intrusive fantasies‚ irrelevant prettinesses”.

For my paper I have decided to view the original "Scarface" which was directed by Howard Hawks. This film stars Paul Muni‚ Ann Dvorak and George Raft. This film was made in 1932 and was in black and white. The film was to take place in Chicago and show a realization of the prohibition era.

The simplicity of their first movie was incredible with a camera set outside a factory and workers streaming out of the front door. It was in black and white‚ had no sound and had no cuts and yet thousands of people flooded to the cinema to see these images. However from this
