Trainspotting Quarantine question

Image
In the film “Trainspotting”, the films director uses the aesthetic design and other techniques within certain scenes in order to help depict the ideological issues of youth and addiction. For example, one of the scenes I have chosen to analyse that helps to present the issues of the ideology of the main characters is the interview scene. Within this scene, the character apparently named “Spud” has recently taken speed in order to cope with the stress the interview has presented. Within a particular shot, the director uses Mise-en-scene in order to help present the ideology of the main cast.   Within this shot, you can blatantly see the painting of the beach on the wall with Spud positioned at a point that helps to make him appear to be present in the world of the painting. This could show that while he is intoxicated by the drug, he feels blissful and in pure extasy. It is as though his mind and body are miles apart from one another as he acts without thinking. The lighting a...

La La Land question

Discuss how important cinematography is in establishing strong responses from spectators to a key character in "La La Land". Your answer must refer to 1 scene detail. Within the film, "La La Land", certain uses of cinematography are used in order to help establish strong responses from spectators when focusing upon a specific character. The particular scene I have chosen to analyse is the photo shoot scene after Seb's break up. When I initially watched this scene, I felt as though it was rather strangely placed in and I felt a bit sorry for Seb during the events of the scene. In this scene, an example of cinematography is found through the director's use of Mise en scene. Within this scene, Seb's attire consists of very monochromatic colours (e.g. mostly black) whilst the other musicians are wearing much more vibrant and bright colours, possibly showing how they feel rather excited for their future career as musical sensations whilst Seb is still hung...

Winters bone

Winters bone homework In the film, "Winter's bone", the story seems to rely upon a understanding of its social context. In this document I shall be discussing how far the film relies on this concepts. In the film, the society the main cast reside within is blighted by rural poverty, a severe lack of opportunities for possible social improvements such as stable income, poor quality schools providing sub par education and educational benefits and a severe disconnection from the norm found in typical united states areas. Instead, the community seem to believe in familial loyalty and a strong focus upon kin in a patriarchal society and most work and strong tasks, creating strong and resilient women that have the task of raising and educating the children thrust upon them like a heavy weight. However, due to the lack of opportunities, many members of the community soon begin to produce and spread a large income of Meth causing much of the community to be effected by it's ...

Evaluation

An Evaluation Of  Blood Noir   And   The Dead Man During the making of the films, we decided to make one a drama thriller about a murder and detective, shot in the style, and in parody, of a film noir. The second film,  The Dead Man,  was shot hyper-realistically and in a mainly POV type way. We did this to give both films a sense of character and to use the films as metaphors for the characters themselves.  Blood Noir  being a steady-cam, black and white film gave it stability and a sense of professional production and also symbolises the hard-fact-based nature of the detective, David Doyle. We made the second film hyper-realistic to convey the madness inside of our murderer, Bogart Bates, and the hand-held sporadic movement creates an uneasiness throughout the film that is meant to seduce the viewer into a state of         almost-fear. We also used contrapuntal music in  The Dead Man  to reinforce this. However, th...
