10 Things I Hate About You
I am a passionate aspiring director and photographer, who loves experimenting and creating art that I can enjoy as well as my audience. The video clips showed in my portfolio are bits and pieces of a movie, "With Love, Alex", directed and produced by me. My artwork is a drama, horror, and thriller flick that takes place in the life of high school senior, who holds a grudge on her best friends and takes actions on them. The theme of the movie was inspired by the 90's coming-of-age comedy films, such as "Clueless", "10 Things I hate About You", "She's All That", "Never Been Kissed", etc. The horror aspect is shown in the body language, actions, and insecurities of the girl who goes by the name "Alex". To add more suspense and a horror vibe to

    The premise of Honest Trailers depict movies in an overtly literal way; by that statement, the creators of Honest trailers can categorize their work and type of work as being New Critics. Through this type of criticism, more focus is put on the movie and its “intrinsic” values versus director’s purpose, representing the historical period or presenting psychological factors (Mays 2333). Main ideas played out by the movie trailers depict the artists’ styles throughout the production of the movies, the artists’ use of figurative language, and the organic unity that further represents universal, human themes.…

    The concept of film form centers around the idea of effectively engaging an audience. Motion pictures that properly adhere to form are abundant in sensory, emotive, and thought-provoking elements. While form in any creative medium is made up of a vast number of different components, basic understanding can be met by following five general principles: function, similarity and repetition, difference and variation, development, and unity. In addition, this formal system categorizes a films ' elements as either narrative or stylistic. The film _Scott Pilgrim vs. the World_ is exemplary in its effective use of film form by not only involving its audience, but catering to each of the five principles of form.…

    Today I am pitching the latest movie that I have written so that I may convince you that it will be a box office success. My latest film is titled Kill Bill and it is a combination of the martial arts, thriller, and action genres. The film follows a female protagonist, simply known as the Bride, who has been put in to a coma on the day of her wedding by a group of assassins whom she used to belong to and the leader of which, a man named Bill, she was formerly romantically involved with. Four years later, the protagonist awakes from her coma and embarks on a journey of revenge, in which she targets each of the assassins who attempted to kill her. The film explores the backstory behind the main character and the group of assassins she formerly belonged too.…

    Horror films often involve a complex set of codes and conventions that will give the audience the idea that they are watching a horror film. In most media texts, particularly advertisement posters concerned with films of the genre, many of the codes and conventions displayed within the narrative of the film are portrayed to an effect that will suggest important aspects of the film i.e. lead characters and their alignment (good/evil). This is important in informing the audience of what to expect of the film and give them an idea of the narrative structure or plot, which in itself is very inviting as we want to see why these particular elements and themes presented in the text are used.…

    Kyle Cooper Analysis

    Coming back to my final piece, it was also inspired by Kyle Cooper. He is well known for title sequences for films like Seven, Dead Presidents, series The Walking Dead, American Horror Story, and many more. It is not a coincidence that I made a connection between Saul Bass and him in my final design. Even though Kyle Cooper’s style is less of minimalism and symbolism in favour of an attention to detail, he became a fan of Saul Bass’ designs and drew an inspiration from some of them. Kyle Cooper was always fascinated by the horror genre. The most interesting area, for him, was the technical side of the creation of horror atmosphere - “Cooper spent his childhood reading horror comicbooks…more fascinating, to him, however, were the visual mechanics…

    Observation is the most prevalent theme displayed in the film Rear Window (1954). As such, the aesthetics chosen by the director emphasize the altered gender roles of Jefferies and Lisa. The film’s editing techniques contribute to these roles; a series of point-of-view and shot/reverse shots exhibit Jefferies feelings of confinement in the scenes “Lisa” and “Something’s Wrong.” The sound techniques used, such as off-screen diegetic sound, echo Jefferies’ preoccupation with what’s going on in his own backyard, instead of his relationship with Lisa. The aesthetics of cinematography used highlight the switch of gender role due to Jefferies temporary confinement to a wheelchair. The abundance of camera pans reflect Jefferies’ point of view. The combination of these techniques communicates the emasculation of Jefferies and displays his infatuation with the world around him.…

    In the 1500’s William Shakespeare wrote a play called “Taming of the Shrew”. This play was based on the Elizabethan ideals and judgments of marriage, love, money and social status of the time. However, since then the stereotypes of these ideals have been changed and modernised. In 1999, Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith wrote the Movie “10 Things I Hate About You” (a modern adaption of the 16th century play originally written by Shakespeare). Even though “10 Things I Hate About You” is a more relatable text towards the modern society, “Taming of the Shrew” shows the ideals and themes of the Elizabethan era more elaborate than “10 Things I Hate About You” does.…

    Visual expression is also a huge part of how I tell people’s stories. I really like movies that focus on the detail in the frame and are careful in the way they edit them together. I wouldn’t say I have developed my own style yet, but I try to always take great care in the way I edit a scene together in terms of what angles to use, and whether a close up or long shot is warranted. I also care a great deal about how I shoot a scene and try to explore a lot with how camera position and movement affects the viewer’s perception and…

Genres, while having some shared characteristics, also differ in terms of stylistic devices used. For instance, the dramatic film “The Notebook” effectively uses color to reinforce theme and has plausible performers as the two main protagonists.…
