That’s what happened to John Q as he is forced to do the unimaginable.
In my scenes I will be talking to you about Lighting,Sound,camera angles, and more.
In that we will talk about how he did that and why he did it that way.
In the first minute of my scene there is some beautiful angelic music that in 20 seconds gets louder and then slowly gets brighter and clearer. But when we are reaching thirty, the scene is fully lit and bright and we see the countryside. As we drive by beautiful green hills,mountains and trees on a what seems completely calm day. The director uses an extreme long shot to set the scene for the character we’re about to see is. Then he pans at about 33 seconds all the way to 40 seconds. fcd In the second minute of my scene we see her drive past a car, as she drives around the corner, we get a close shot of what she looks like. We can’t see all of her, which makes her seem as if she has something to hide. We see a beautiful, crystal, christian,cross necklace, her hair, earrings, red lipstick with a beautiful white dress. but we couldn’t see all of her, her eyes were still covered by the rear view mirror. Then finally, at 1 minute and 25 seconds, she tries to pass

And at 2 minutes and 10 seconds she tries to go in front of the truck but at 2:14 as she realizes she can’t get past and she swerves the truck hits her bumper. And she turns right in front of the car she was trying to pass as the audience sees at 2:20 and the fear of oh no she’s going to get hit. Boom at 2:26 she gets hit as she sits awestruck staring at the truck of incoming doom and as she gets hit the music stops. Then we see at 2:29 what she sees and at 2:35 see the car as the car rolls into the ditch. And as the scene rolls out we hear a quiet angelic "hawwwww" sound as the scene turns

When thinking of “a rapid succession of images or scenes,” my first thought was that this was an awkward use of film. As the book, Film Theory and Criticism says, “Simply stringing separate photographic shots together will not produce intelligible works of visual art.” Yet the use of montage in The Night of the Hunter was very subtle so that at points I wasn’t aware that I was watching a montage. It also enhanced the film’s thematic qualities greatly and by doing so convinced me of the values of a montage when used well.
There is a brilliant use of diagonal dimensions in this scene in the railing behind the hearse, again sending a message of disorganization and anxiety. There is also the use of movement here as a gentle breeze ruffles the hair of the character, almost as a caress, and it is a stark contrast to the underlying sense of danger. The brightly colored almost cartoon-like use of the graffiti hearse and the colorful signs as dominate contrasts suggest that there is a bit of hope for the characters in this film. At second 5 the scene changes to a center framed shot with the main character shot at a quarter turn. The subsidiary focus is the characters in the background who also are at a quarter turn. The shot is with a hazy lens to depict their secondary significance to the main character. The lighting used here is both high and low key with the emphasis in high key lighting on the center foreground character to draw the viewer’s eye to him. He also appears taller than the subsidiary characters to reinforce his status as the
Throughout the first five minutes the shot changes from long to medium within this time frame when the men get out of the shed and walk to the car were there is a elegant looking man waiting for them. The worke...
At the same time: Snap-Whoosh-Growl-Snap-Whoosh-Growl! Return with a fierceness, causing the rest of the men to separate into two groups with some moving to the left in search of the origin of the beastly sounds and the others moving to the right, combining their numbers with those searching for their missing brethren, while Gottlieb stays behind.
and not that he did this by his own choice. With this metaphor of a
I knew it would happen. As much as I tried to stay optimistic, to put off my feelings of suspicion to an old man's negativity, I knew that this case would cost me something more than just my reputation in the town and that didn't even really matter. In Maycomb, reputation is a day by day concept. Sure, we have more than enough of our fair share of immovable gossipers, and drama kings and queens looking for a story to spread. But in everyone's own mind, if you did something stupid, immoral, or just mildly humorous or entertaining, it was the talk of the town and you were judged terribly for a few days, a few weeks tops. Then the whispers, and glances faded to conversations over coffee, and deep inside jokes. My reputation didn't bother me one bit.
... long shot, the camera crosses the 180-degree axis to show all the shots and reversed shots during the last dialogues. Breaking the rule of axis helps to change the atmosphere of the scene and implies the real ending shot is coming. As the atmosphere changes, the Cop also becomes more active. When the Cop brings the map of California that Faye previously gave him, the camera shows a close up of the map. This close up reveals that the Cop has kept the map thinking about Faye, which makes Faye feel touched and respond to him. The camera takes high angles at the Cop’s perspective and then low angles at Faye’s stand. These shots make audiences view Faye to be shy and cute and focus on Cop’s gaze toward Faye with love. The scene ends with a close up of the audio, which played the theme song, California dreaming, at their first encounter, implying their new relationships.
The camera pans from left to right with a medium shot of Jack pacing in the natural light has he waited on Rakes to reveal himself. Rakes emerge from the bridge in a low key and a high contrast lighting quality to show he’s more of a villain. His corruption his more at the surface as he walks out into the light. One can hear the loud non- diegetic sound of a guitar playing which creates an impact on the violence that is taking place. The music got louder as the decoupage promotes pace of the surrounding then suddenly cuts to Jack getting shot.
The girl runs to her bed and dives in bed the camera is no overhead looking down at the girl under her sheets for a moment. The noises are now approaching the girl which are auidable over the music still playing and intensifying. The child peaks her head out and we see a figure on her bed. The music is at a pause we hear the girl's breathing the camera is shot from the point of view of the girl the figure stays motionless then we hear a shriek and the figure lunges for the girl and we are greeted by the tittle of the
I chose the movie John Q to apply to the conflict perspective. This movie stars Denzel Washington, Robert Duvall, James Wood, and Ray Liotta. Denzel plays the part of a father, John Archibald, who has been a factory worker for over fifteen years. While attending his son’s, Mikey, softball game Mikey collapses while running to first base. John and his wife rush him to the hospital and discover Mikey’s heart is three times larger than it should be and he will need a heart transplant in order to live. The only problem is the heart transplant costs $ 270,000 and their needs to be a down payment of at least $ 75,000 to put a name on the donor list. With john working in a factory and his wife just being a waitress they clearly do not have that kind of money and are even having a hard time paying their bills at home. They have no stocks or bonds, $ 1,000 in their bank account, and don’t even own their home plus their insurance will not cover the surgery. If Mikey does not undergo surgery he will only have a few months to live. This leads John and his wife to do everything in their power to raise money. They sell their television, car, and furniture along with the church giving them the collection money. Filling for Medicade , welfare, and different insurance does not work and are out of luck at this point. John decides he needs to do something quick or he will lose his son soon. He goes to the head person of cardiology, Dr. Turner, holds a gun to his back and tells him to do something to help his soon. He ends up holding the entire emergency room in hostage and chains the doors shut. He says that if his son’s name is put on the list then he will let the hostages go and no one will get hurt. Rebecca Paine, the hospital manager, lies to Jo...
In this scene, the camera does not follow the protagonist’s action as he runs in and out of the frame to demonstrate a sense of urgency, followed by the chasing of the antagonists. Moreover, instead of showing the facial expressions of actors, the camera zooms in whenever the protagonist needs to go over a physical obstacle and zooms out to show the action he takes to overcome the obstacle. Another this movie is different from other films is that it shoots the same action sequence in multiple angles. One part of the scene illustrates the agility of the protagonist by showing a front shot of him passing through a loop, followed by a side shot of the same action. Also, whenever the protagonist is performing a stunt, the editing slows the action down for the viewers to be amazed at the difficulty of the stunt. Hence, the speed of this scene could be inconsistent at
