Analysis of the X-Files Episode: Tooms Commercial films have three main parts to them in which there is the prologue followed by the credit showing all the people that involved in the film, following that is the actual film. The aim of the prologue is to get the audience hooked to the film; the credits don't do this so that is why the prologue is first. The prologue has to be very interesting to get the audience hooked to the film; it has to make the audience want to see more. The film has three genres to it, which are easily known to the audience in the credits. Sci-fi is symbolised by the flying saucer; a mutant is shown representing the horror aspect of the film and Mulder and Scullys F.B.I identity card symbolises the detective factor of the film. The prologue has a businessman standing outside his work with a briefcase; he is shown from a high camera angle and is centred to give the impression of him being watched. As he walks in slow motion, the camera angle is switched from a high camera angle to a low camera angle however still giving the impression of him being watched. The camera focuses on a dark rectangular shaped drain with a pair of eyes appearing slowly. The camera alternates between the eyes in the drain and the businessman again the man is walking in slow motion, the audience know that the eyes are looking at the businessman. As the camera focuses on the businessman in slow motion a heartbeat gets louder which makes the audience worry about the businessman. Knowing that the man is marked or targeted.

This book had first started out by introducing the readers to what this book is going to sound like, which was the Introduction.
The prologue of a novel plays a crucial role in introducing the setting of the story. The prologue also sets the tone of the tale and can sometimes hide vital information from the reader. The art of foreshadowing is often used in the prologue, and after reading through the story, reverting back to the prologue can help connect the many themes and motifs that are prevalent throughout the narrative. A high-quality example of a prose with a prologue that is riddled with underlying foreshadowing is The Assault, by Harry Mulisch. By analyzing a single passage of the prologue and comparing it with other small potions of the text, the foretelling of events in the prologue of The Assault by Harry Mulisch can easily be related to how Anton believed the killing of his family was a simple affair, when in reality, it was a more complicated incident than
...ot where the camera follows a subject within a frame and motion of the subject or its surroundings is involved. In this movie Lee uses the double dolly shot which includes the camera dolly and the actor mounted on a second dolly so the actor is moving along with the camera. The double dolly shot signature move is one of Lee’s favorites and also plays into his technical competence for the movie. This shot stars Detective Keith Frazier and happens just seconds after a hostage is “allegedly” killed by the bank robbers. In this scene the camera tends to shake and Denzel facial expressions display feelings of sadness and anger. In addition, a small cameo of Sal’s Pizzeria pizza boxes are seen when the head bank robbers makes a deal with the officers to get food for the hostages. Lee has lots of these connections within his movies relating back to Do The Right Thing.

The 1960 was an era of war, conflict, music, innovation, and social change; when one thinks of the 1960s, one of the first things that come to mind is the civil rights movement that peaked during this decade. The civil rights movement was a series of social movements that attempted to end racial segregation, discrimination, and all racial injustices. Non-white Americans, mainly African Americans at this time, used civil resistance and civil disobedience in order to change the government policies that discriminated against them such as segregation laws, Jim Crow laws, and the inability to vote for their nations leaders. There were two prominent leaders who had different ideas on how to obtain the same goal. Martin Luther King Jr. believed that the only way to gain equality was through peaceful demonstrations; on the other hand, Malcolm X believed that he had a right to defend himself, even if it led to violence. In 1963, at the height of the Civil Rights Movement, a comic book was released about a group of mutants that tried to keep peace between their people and the humans. Thirty-seven year later a Hollywood film was made based on the comic book series. X-Men (Bryan Singer, 2000) was a box office hit that earned $157,299,717 in theaters; this movie entered the lives of thousands of Americans and people worldwide. On the surface the film is a sci-fi action story, but beneath the surface it tell the story of America’s fight for equality and justice. This modern day portrayal of X-Men is an ode to our Nation’s past struggles of equality. This is evident through the portrayal of the mutant’s struggle and experiences of injustice, the two mutant leaders, and through the laws that congress attempts to pass against them.

...decisive. Opposed to the manager the hollow men have no clear vision, “there are not eyes here, and there are no eyes here,” this quote is used to describe the two sets of eyes, one being from the hollow men and the other from the heavens. The hollow men are “sightless, unless the eyes reappear as the perpetual star,” to guide them and give them meaning and purpose, of which neither the hollow men nor the station manager possess.
“2001: A Space Odyssey,” directed by Stanley Kubrick in 1968 shows the audience the evolution of humans from when they were apes. The apes learned how to use tools such as bones and rocks to better compete against other apes, which directly reveals that the tools lead the evolution of these creatures into civilized humans. As people continued to evolve and advance their intelligence, they also advanced their primitive tools throughout the years into computers. However, these computers were no ordinary computers that we know of today; they have extremely advanced artificial intelligence programmed within them that they began to imitate emotions, giving them a lifelike human presence. Because of this advancement, the movie portrayed that there
