Introduction to Film Studies
HUM/150

In the movie New Moon the mise-en-scéne is about a women named Bella who has survived an attack on her life and she is torn by love between two man but they aren 't average men. When Bella goes to celebrate her birthday with her love Edward 's family but Edward 's family who are vampires and cut her finger and she was attacked by members of his family. Edward decides that it isn 't safe for Bella to be with him so he tells her to stay away. Bella heartbroken goes to the comfort of her friend Jacob so she can be reckless because when she reckless she see and hears Edward 's voice. When she is in her reckless period she starts having feeling for Jacob. While That Bella just doing dangerous stuff to hurt Edward. The filmmaker shows Bella drawn out depression from losing her love and shows the pain and suffering that she is going threw the seasons and months. He show the progression of her depression. Once Bella realized that if she did stuff dangerous that she would see a flash of Edward telling her to stop it 's not safe. Even though undefined, The editing of this film made it seem more realistic and more believable. Like in the cliff diving scenes, the water as seen as an bird 's eye view. The scene looks like a bad photo shot but I think it makes it look more realistic and more creepy. Also like in the scene when Alice is inviting Bella to the party but then you see Jasper trying to use mind control on Bella but it is stated that vampires powers don 't affect Bella, but in this scene I think it 's kind of cute that Jasper is trying to convince Bella to go to her own party. I don 't think it was made to look like Jasper was using his power, I think it was more of him making her feel uncomfortable until she said yes. The music in this film allowed to kind of feel the heart beat of the character or feel their anticipation. The song "The

    Likewise in Edward Scissor-hands, the film begins in a romantic way with an elderly Kim who Edward loved, telling her grand-daughter the story of her relationship with Edward Scissor-hands. The opening scene of Edward Scissor-hands reveals many of the elements associated with the horror genre which are offset by elements of romance and fantasy. Ass the beginning credits toll in and eerie music is played, the graphics of the cast are coloured white on a black background in a font resembling jagged scissor shapes. The motifs of the colours help establish the movie to be of a horror genre. The gothic nature being evidently exemplified with a haunted castle isolated on a hill seen with huge doors, large spiral stairway, cobwebs and disused machines. However the intensity of music decrease creating a more playful and pleasant atmosphere and a few children’s toys strewn remind the audience that it is not just a horror…

    In the monolauge of “Twilight Los Angeles, 1992” Anna Deaver Smith, the Author and actor of the play states “It is not an answer. It is not a solution. I am first looking for the humanness inside the problems, or the crises. This spoken word is evidence of humanness. Perhaps the solution comes further down the road.” When Smith says this, she means that she is looking for peoples “Humanness”, as in the things that make up human beings, such as thoughts and emotions when in the crises to tell the process of how and why the problem occurred. In this Smith is not offering any specific solution. Rather she is documenting the way different individuals dealt with the riots which offers individual solutions to the problems smith dramatizes, but not solutions to the…

    In Big Fish, Burton uses a close-up shot when Will and Edward had been fighting about Edward stealing Will’s “thunder” at a party. By using this close-up shot Burton exposed the hurt and anger between the father and son, but Burton also helped the audience feel the tension from the screen. This moment brings the viewers back to a time in their life where they had a feud with a loved one and how much hurt they both left hurt. Later on in the film a two shot is used when Will goes to visit Jessica Hill, a woman who loved his father. This shot creates a connection between the two as Jessica is about to tell Will something important about his father. The audience feels anxious at this moment because they know that when there is a one-on-one conversation it is most likely valuable. In another one of his films, Edward Scissorhands, Burton uses a long shot when Edward is walking into Peg’s house for the first time. This shot shows that Edward feels a mix of vulnerability and security as he stands in the living room alone and out of place. The audience can relate to Edward’s feeling because they know how scary it is to be in a new place, but also how reassuring it is to know that there is someone there who…

    Film Music Critique

    • 619 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The movie opens with the main title fading in from black accompanied by a light string tone with horns backing them up (with a quick electric guitar when De Niro’s and Pacino’s names appear). This sets the overall tone for the movie presenting more of a serious / dramatic feel. The LA Metro begins to immerge into the background. The music complements the train passing, closely resembling the way Quincy Jones scored the opening of In Cold Blood with the bus passing by. There is a little change to the music when Robert De Niro’s character appears on screen which has a jazz tone that lets the audience know that this is in the city, in this case downtown Los Angeles. The music follows De Niro to an emergency hospital. At this point the music turns more intense with guitar and a prominent bass line moving the action along. There is a use of low strings moving very rapidly in the background that helps push the action along even more as he walks through the E.R. This music carries on when the scene cuts and goes to Val Kilmer making a purchase in a construction yard. The music connects the two characters by carrying over through the scene. It also has an ominous feel…

    This brought a pop of color to the sad and lifeless tale of both Edward and the killer. In her mind, a very enchanting color scheme and prop work brought out her character. Beautiful trees, a calming pool of water, and happy colors surrounded her. When the demon from Carl's mind entered hers, however, she turned to a strong warrior. Blood was shed, and while looking realistic and forming a fearful feeling, the setting remained the same, a safe place.…

    Have you ever wondered what life is like “on the other side”? Often I had wondered if life would be better south of the US border, until recent suggestions from my Spanish instructors that is. Being introduced to films like “Innocent Voices” (2007), and “Under the Same Moon” (2007) has opened my eyes to just how difficult it can be to have something many people take for granted; freedom to do as you desire. Today I would like to share my feelings about a movie that sits very close to my heart, a movie that shows love can conquer all, ”Under the Same Moon”.…

    Since the eighteen century, vampire stories have played a strong role of popularity in literature and cinematic environments. The continuous changes of vampires have taken the vampire legend from something feared to something desired. Between Dracula and Twilight it has been over a hundred years. These two novels are a great example of vampire’s evolution. However, both novels have elements of narrative device, they are both written from multiple perspectives, and both were turned into a film. Although Twilight and Dracula are pieces of literature that share a vampire story, there are three important differences that characterize each one.…

    The Vampire Film Analysis

    The final part of Perkowski’s analysis outline is evaluating the social and psychological role of the vampire for the time period it was originally intended for. Since this film was released during the 1980’s it is viewed as being in line with many people’s beliefs at the time that family values were declining, as divorce rates were high, and people believed that these values needed to be re-established in society. Additionally, people believed that this problem could be blamed on and was due to the hippie generation, which is why the film also contains many references to hippies, including the music Michael and Sam’s mother Lucy listens to and the marijuana plant that their grandfather has in his kitchen. Michael, Sam, and their mother are…

    The film is just on of the most useful way to speak to the people and make them aware of the what actually our word is.
