His/her name is Gojira (or Godzilla in America). So the movie starts off with the scene being in Honolulu, Hawaii with the sky being pitch black, with bright burning stars illuminating the sky with a beautiful light. There are tourists everywhere having a party in a luau with a night show, and amazing food, and beautiful weather. Then all of a sudden the camera's face towards the ocean, with a dog tied to a palm tree barking, with white foam escaping the gap from his mouth, and as he looks at what is in the ocean, then these gigantic spikes come out forming a black …show more content…

The monsters and the actors deserve an 8.5/10 because they were good, but not great because some of the actors did a horrible job in the movie acting and the monsters looked like it was the same as the movie Charlie’s Angels Full Throttle with the horrible movie effects like they were dangling on some kind of invisible string that couldn’t be seen which was so terrible that I almost threw the remote at the tv, and turned off the movie. I would give the actors that were playing as the characters in the movie an 8/10 in acting in the movie, because they didn’t do a perfect job on acting but they at least got some good emotions into the mix giving the movie a little more spice and
It is clear that movie technology greatly progressed from 1960 to 2002. In the 1960 show “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street” there is closer up shots then far away. This is because the 2002 episode has more updated cameras so they can take far away shots. Also, for the 1960 and 2002 episode: for example; in the 1960 version the sound was different because there wasn’t any music. But in the 2002 episode there was background music.

This essay will examine the functions and effects of cinematography in Steven Spielberg’s Jaws Jaws follows the police chief Brody, along with scientist Hooper and shark hunter Quint, in their attempt to protect the town of Amity against a Great White shark that is terrorising beachgoers. It was adapted from Peter Benchley’s 1974 novel of the same name. Following its release in summer 1975, Jaws became the highest grossing film As Jaws was one of the first motion pictures to be shot partially on water, the production came across issues with the prosthetic shark, and as a result, Spielberg decided to only suggest the appearance of the shark as often as possible, as opposed to showing the prosthetic body during attacks. This sparing use of the prosthetic, and primary focus instead on creating suspense and dread without the shark visibly present, proved to be an inspired decision, as Jaws is considered a pioneering achievement in the horror genre.
Overall, I give 10 Cloverfield Lane a 7.5. The combination of the acting, special effects, and sounds help to create an emotional thrill that will keep you
Metropolis is a 1927 German expressionistic science fiction film, directed by Fritz Lang. Much of the plot is established following influences of the first world war, and the culture of the Weimar Republic in Germany. Although criticised for its allusions to communism in the resolution of the film, Lang explores mostly themes of industrialisation and mass production, which, coincidentally, were two developments that provided a large influence in the First World War. Lang also explores themes of the Weimer view of American modernity, communism and fascist rule. Politically, this film was shot after WWI, meaning many of its influences were extracted from the horrors of the First World War.

Throughout life we are told to express our individuality and swim against the stream of the general population to put emphasis on the characteristics that make us, in short, individuals. Cherishing what makes an individual special and different is what establishes roots in creativity and self expression, however there is a forced false sense of comradery in today’s society that takes the form of involvement with the masses; peer pressure forces many people to fall into the mold of an average character. The Academy award winning film, “The Incredibles” displays the themes of expressing one’s true self and special qualities, and in contrast repression by society to fit a basic mold. These themes are elaborated on through the development of the main characters and expressed further through the supporting roles and their dialogue and endeavors.
One of the best usage of sound design as a tool of storytelling has to be in the first sequence of The Exorcist. As a horror movie, which as a genre builds itself on the vicarious experience it provides, uses more complex patterns of sound design templates to enhance the adventure of watching the movie. Throughout the first scene, Ken Nagle lays what the audience will be the experiencing through the duration of the movie with sound design; the duel between good and evil. The Exorcist’s first sequence, the audience can hear the digging sound of the workers, which resembles the heart pounding.
