Kylie Mawn Professor Rodais CINE 121 Midterm 4 March 2018 Question 1: Citizen Kane (Orson Welles, 1941) is a film that is well known for pushing cinematic boundaries in many ways. One commonly recognized technique in Welles’ film is deep focus photography. Deep focus photography is used in films to allow everything in a shot to be in focus at once. Typical, only specific characters or objects are in focus in any given frame in order to guide the audience’s attention in a scene, but deep focus can bring a new level of sophistication to a shot.

The concept of editing as montage is closely associated with Soviet filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein. While montages simply the French word for edit,the term has come to designate a theory of editing which emphasizes the breaks and contrasts between images joined by a cut. [3] The coming of sound technology in the late 1920s served to solidify Hollywood’s commitment to continuity editing, an approach which emphasizes spatial and temporal clarity in order to present a story to an audience in a logical and coherent manner. In the 1940s, cinematic realism became established as one of the primary aesthetic principles in film editing influenced in part by Italian neo-realism and documentary filmmaking

Throughout the essay, many references and comparisons are made to other films. Also incorporated in the essay is the use of advance terminology; Giving indication that the author is very knowledge about film. Haslem mentions in her essay “Neon Gothic: Lost in Translation”, “In many ways Coppola’s film exhibits marks of classic European art cinema. Specifically, in her interest in stillness rather than action, Coppola recreates a similar impressionistic resonance that was initially established by filmmakers like Carl Dreyer in The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928) and elaborated by Michelangelo Antonioni in films like L’Eclisse (1962) and L’Avventura (1960)”

As I stated, Tim uses cinematic techniques to specialize certain scenes of his films against the others. He uses lighting and camera angles to point out visual elements, and he uses composition to point out audial elements.

Movie posters have been a big part of advertising for films since their beginnings in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The main focus of movie posters are to draw the audience to watch the movie.

Baz Luhrmann’s films are known their ability to make a watcher feel as if they are part of the show. Between his use of camera angles, shots and the use of a narrator, it’s no wonder he is able to keep viewers on the edge of their seat. But how does Baz Luhrmann pull off this spectacular feat of his? This is probably explained best by referring to Baz Luhrmann’s films and how he himself has evolved as a director.

Hitchcock employed the dolly zoom technique, in which the cameraman zooms in while moving away from the actor, or zooms out while moving in, to accomplish a disorienting ‘falling’ effect. Freud placed great importance on dreams involving falling; the repeated use of the theme has been interpreted by some to be a manifestation of Hitchcock’s obsession with death. Freuds concepts were employed almost regularly by Hitchcock in his films, which still retain their influence, despite the displacement of Freud’s theories by biological explanations of mind and behavior. Madeleine’s death can be described as melancholic. It thus produces a sadistic attitude toward Judy.

Although there are silent films, sound adds a whole different aspect. Non Diegetic sounds create emotion through what type of music is playing. Deep toned sounds create a bad vibe for villains or bad guys while light, upbeat sounds create good vibes and joy for heroes or good guys. For example, in the movie “Edward Scissorhands,” Director Burton uses Non Diegetic sound in the scene where

France was also one of them and it was inevitable for French cinemas at that time to act as a mirror of the French society. Culture, social life, alienation of the younger generation along with loneliness and confusion of identity were all spread and penetrated into most of the French New Wave films. Among them, the vast spreading consumerism (and how this affected the individuals), and the importance of the roles of institutions were the aspects of the French society that were focused on in this piece of paper, during this particular time period analyzed through the works of three different directors. The films of Breathless (À bout de souffle), Cléo from 5 to 7 (Cléo de 5 à 7), and The 400 Blows (Les quatre cents coups) encouraged the audience to identify with these state values and social atmosphere that were prevailing from the mid 1950s to the mid 1950s

The Auteur Theory, a theory formulated by François Truffaut states the idea that the true author of a film is the director. The Auteur Theory revolves around how the director leaves an implicit mark on the film and because of this cinematic, literary, or thematic signature or motif, they are credited as the author of the film. While there are numerous people involved in the production of a film, with some directors it is truly prominent who can be described as the author of the film such as with Mel Brooks. Mel Brooks, renown comical director and screenwriter is one instance of the undeniability of the Auteur Theory. Despite Mel Brook’s complete involvement in his films, writing, co-writing, directing, and even starring in many of his films,

In most traditional myths, the finalizing of a story comes when it is expressed in a play and myth of Zapata can be culminated into the film, which mixes the historical aspects along with myths in Viva Zapata! In all, the movie as a whole shows the power of Zapata’s myth since it was a movie produced by an American movie studio, written by John Steinbeck and would have an actor that would be considered one of the greatest of his generation, Marlon Brando. The way in which his life is portrayed is rather faithful to various sources that describe his life. The movie itself gives a faithful representation of Zapata’s life, but still presents elements of the myth of Zapata. One of interesting note is one that although has a source, it is questionable whether it actually occurred.

I had no idea San Diego colleges or universities had film productions courses and figured since I had ideas, I can start creating my own projects to gain experience and exposure through acting.

He was obviously looking for a more creative outlet for his creative designs than trademarks, corporate logos, letterheads, TV commercials and packaging for which he was in constant demand. The answer proved to be film-making: imaginative documentaries, a single feature film, and pre-eminently title sequences for other directors ' work on which he sometimes received the credit of "visual consultant".
