In the world of we live in there are many different ways that people seek to have some sort of entertainment in their life. Whether the entertainment is through music, plays, even movies, there is at least one form of entertaining that most everyone enjoys as equally. Movies are a vital part of the lives we live solely because of the fact that we enjoy watching them, action, drama, comedy there is always a movie out there for at least one person will like out of the bunch. Films are viewed not only for the entertainment aspect but also the art of it, how every piece of it being made makes it exactly what it is. In my own opinion, the way that I tend to enjoy movies the most is physically going to the movie theatre itself and watching the movie …show more content…
The story line of the movie just gives the young girl that is still inside of me so much hope that life does work out like a fairytale sometimes, and if you do want something in life and if you work for it you can achieve anything. On that note there are a variety of other movies out there that have a huge effect on modern America. For example, the big name movies such as Pirates of The Caribbean, Star Wars, Harry Potter, and all the other known movies that have come out over the years. A few positive aspects to these popular films are that they do fuel the film industry and in some sort keep it alive and running by the popularity. The movies are all solid in their story lines, and they keep the watchers on the hook by this technique and they will always come back for more. The negative side to this is that America is so consumed by the big name movies that the other not as popular ones are forgotten and ultimately fail because of this. Also the community is so exposed to these unreal worlds that we all get consumed …show more content…
Going from reading the chapters in the textbook to watching an actual movie using some of the knowledge I have learned has been eye opening. While watching the movie with no sound you really pay attention to details and notice that the camera really likes to focus up on the characters and make them the center, especially in the beginning getting into the movie, I believe this was done just to set the scene for the characters and to get the viewer to get to know them individually in different scenes. The filmmakers also do use the full shot style of filming, making sure that the bodies are in the shot from head to toe, and in a lot of scenes in this movie there are a majority of those shots. Getting further into the movie you notice some certain scenes being lit up a certain way to make a hint as to what kind of attitude the character may have throughout the movie. In the very beginning when they had found out Nicky Parsons was collaborating with a hacktivist group, the lighting was a lot darker as they were talking about her, and could tell that she was not a liked person by the CIA. Panning shots are used throughout the movie, which is the camera scanning the scene horizontally, mainly in scenes where the characters are walking, for example after they have the meeting about Nicky Parsons they walk out of the room and the camera is moving horizontally. Another example of a moving
Of all the terrible events in history, the Holocaust may be the worst of them all. This tragedy was so terrible, I cannot think of the ones who instigated it as human beings. It was against many morals and standards that the world views today as common ethics. The most terrible part of this is, perhaps, how today’s new and younger generations are not sufficiently educated about this disaster. Although many younger generations do not know about the Holocaust, it’s importance should be emphasised in today’s society to learn from it, to realize that every human life is important, and to appreciate the blessings of the present day.
This is contrasted by the dark lighting used in the scenes where the audience gains insight into the truths and political
I have never had my electricity shut off or never starved. This is because not only does my father own a pizza shop, it is because I live in the United States of America. The movie, Even the Rain, made me realize, people do not care about others, unless they are being affected by the same problem as the person next to them. I forget how privileged I am a lot, based on where I live.
Movies and dramas are some of the artistic innovations of the human beings. They remind us of the traditional beliefs, customs and the way of life. TV dramas, for instance, are one way of teaching people about their past using an entertaining approach where characters take different roles symbolically to pass a message to the audience. Movies however, make scenes vivid and emotional as they bring a clear picture of what happened using moving images. That said, movies make it easy for one to remember, especially on parts that they find interesting or scarring.
Josiah Koser 04/10/2017 Robert Sklar, Movie-Made America, Random House inc., New York City, New York, 1994. The argument made by the author Robert Sklar in his book Movie-Made America has to do with the impact that American movies have had on the country's culture and society as a whole. Sklar says this by stating that, “American movies, through much of their span, have altered or challenged many of the values and doctrines of powerful social and cultural forces in American society, providing alternative ways of understanding the world.”
These different lighting techniques are applied in the movie to help set the tone and mood for the film scene. The
Over the past century, film has served as a powerful means of communication to a global audience and has become a vital part of the contemporary culture in a world that is increasingly saturated by visual content. Due to the immediacy and the all-encompassing nature of film, the process of watching a film, is widely perceived to be a passive activity by the general masses. However, quoting Smith in his article about the study of film, “nothing could be further from the truth.” The study and understanding of film as an art form enhances the way we watch and appreciate films. It requires the audience's active participation and interaction with the film in order to fully comprehend the directors' intention behind every creative decision.
Formal Analysis of the movie, "Passengers" (2016) It’s a bit of a shame that the new Jennifer Lawrence / Chris Pratt movie Passengers got so slammed by critics. It’s not that I disagree with the consensus take on it, but I didn’t see as much engagement with what the movie was saying prior to the collapse at the end as I might have liked. It is indeed true that the movie instill a feeling of “being lost”. The end is a huge mess that undermines the rest of what has happened to that point, but through the first and second acts, it’s a pretty interesting movie with some provocative and intense ideas.
This film is able to take these concepts and satirize them in a way that becomes comical, after watching this movie, it can put some of these peoples fear to rest because they realize such things are almost impossible. Peoples minds tend to think the worst situations possible before any other conclusions, and this film puts some of those situations to
In Avatar the use of light and colour was used to bring the world of Pandora to life, and create a mystical theme, all while still creating a life like effect. Many cool colours were used such as blues, greens and purples to aid in the softness of mise-en-scene. Low key lighting was used to create suspicion or suspense for the audience, as well as naturalistic lighting to give the audience an idea of what it would look like if it was real life. Different filters were placed over scenes to evoke emotions; for example, when Jake Sully and Neytiri had their first intimate scene front lighting was in use to create an innocent, halo effect on the actors. Another factor which impacts the theme and meaning is sound.
Hollywood movies affect national culture in various ways. In one sense, movies could be characterized as America’s storytellers. Hollywood movies „Americanize“ global values and beliefs ,therefore they in a way diminish national culture traits and adapt and reinforce American customs. People tend to copy the ideas,customs and culture of American people or in other words they tend to acculturate. So called „Americanization“ is
The first shows lighter, brighter shades like grass and leaves. During the war green color is presented by more “gloomy” hues like military uniform or a rocket in the night sky that Doss saw in his nightmare. The film often shows characters’ faces in close up; these frames constitute a majority of the movie. Camera focuses on characters’ faces and moves slightly following their heads’ motions. This approach makes viewers focus on people’s expressed emotions and interactions rather than their environment.
It took aim at some of the major issues of the time such as religion as a while, education, woman’s right, and more. The movie was such a success due to the way
For example, Gustave will be deep in thought having a mini monologue first then he will shout a name of another hotel worker. The camera will pan to show the next person on the other side of the room working. The zoom shot is used often in Wes Anderson films as well. The zoom is used in two ways throughout this film. The zoom in is used to show where different characters are in the universe.
Movies, along with Music are elements of pop culture that usually do not strive to trigger change; moreover, they are there for the entertainment of society. They struggle to deliver a message powerful enough to truly change societies morals, attitudes and
