Mise en scene

The movie I watched was Star Wars: A New Hope, directed by George Lucas. The setting of this cinematic masterpiece takes place in an unknown, fictional universe. The reason why the setting of this fictional universe, along with the many abstract and planets in it, is so important because it completely withdraws the viewer from what they know to be reality. With objects and ideas like laser guns and "The Force", setting this movie in a different universe allows the viewer to accept these abstract ideas as true. Who could tell you, confidentially, that there cannot be space laser guns and the ability to move things with your mind in an alternate universe? Nobody.     Regarding the lighting, it all depends on where you are in this universe. If you are on Luke’s home-planet of Tatooine, the lighting is almost blindingly bright. This is due to the fact that it is a desert-oriented planet, and it is close to not just one, but two suns. If you are soaring through the cosmos in...

Film Viewing Practice Essay "Agent Carter"

The camera work in this clip of Agent Carter focuses on the dialogue mostly of the characters. Specifically, the eye-level shots and over-shoulder shots really help engage the audience in the conversation between the two characters in the scenes. Specifically, the over-shoulder shot created an uncomfortable and unsolicited sense of sexual tension of Agent Flinn with Agent Carter. Along with this, misogyny in the workplace.

There is also contribution of establishing shots in New York City. This grounds the audience into the new setting of the story.   The editing in this film...

5 Master Edits

Image
Contrast: I demonstrated contrast as I videoed a student that was working diligently to complete his assignments, then that same student sleeping in the next class creating contrast.  Symbolism: I demonstrated symbolism by filming a calculator and fading directly from the calculator out of the mind of a student doing math which implies that he is as good as a calculator at math.  Leitmotiff: I demonstrated leitmotiff by establishing the motiff as a strong front line. I then demonstrated how the two "body guards" and pawns are all apart of a strong front line.  Parallelism: I demonstrated parallelism in this shot by showing a student practicing the piano on his desk into him actually playing a real piano creating a parallelism between his life in class to his life as a musician.  Simultaneously: I demonstrated a simultaneous edit by filming two conversations between four people walking towards each other happening at the same time and demonstrated that they were occur...
