The name of the film I am going to review is final destination 3, it is the 3rd in the final destination series. It was released in the cinemas on February 11th 2006 and then released on DVD and video on 25th July 2006.
Final destination has many genres the main 4 however are Drama / Horror / Mystery and Thriller. James Wong was the director of final destination 1 and 3 but final destination 2 was directed by David Ellis.
The Film follows the same sort of plot as the other final destinations but in final destination 3 Wendy Christensen and her friends go to a theme park and decide to go on a large roller coaster. However, just before the ride begins, Wendy has a violent premonition of it crashing, killing everyone on board, so she freaks out, resulting in 10 people getting off, including herself, then watches in horror as it collapses for real. But she learns that you can't cheat death as the survivors start dieing in freak ‘accidents’. The clues to their deaths are in the photos she and her friends took on that fateful night they went to the theme park.
I liked the way Mary Elizabeth Winstead who played Wendy took her part so seriously and you could actually feel the fear she had after her premonition. Also Kris Lemche who played Ian McKinley acted the scene where they was at ‘build it’ really well because he was throwing everything Wendy says right back at her. When she tells him about ‘deaths design’ he then replies with “Ok. Ok, what if, for example, the last in line were to make the utilitarian choice. Kill themselves. Well, wow, that's pretty much gonna ruin any plan deaths put in motion. And even better, I think that's gonna save, five skipped lives. Any takers?” He says it so seriously that it made me think he was a bit tapped in the head.
Some of the films strengths were the amazing computer generated images which was so obvious yet so life like, such as the rollercoaster crash at the start. Also the music they used while Wendy and Kevin was waiting at the drive through. His car radio turned itself on and started playing ‘Turn Around, Look at Me’ by The Vogues at that point doing a shot where you can see the car and the road behind with a lorry rolling down a hill with no one in it.

9 to 5 is a 1980 comedy film starring Jane Fonda as Judy Bernly, Lily Tomlin as Violet Newstead, Dolly Parton as Doralee Rhodes, and Dabney Coleman as the boss Franklin Hart Jr. The film focuses on a department that is being poorly run by a "sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot" boss. After finally getting over their differences, the three main ladies develop a friendship, vent to each other, take down their boss and eventually help each other run the company.
For example, in the sychronized swimming scene, many different camera angles were used. Some parts of this scene were shot from above, the side, from below which was interesting as that 's not something often seen. When Deanna Moran was coming out of the water, a bit of that scene was shot from her perspective and then cut to an above angle. This showed off the cinematography quite well and made the movie look artistic at times. The only complaint about the movie I would have is some of the editing. A few scenes were dragged on a bit too long and could have been edited to be a bit shorter. The scene where Ralph Fiennes character, Laurence Laurentz, was showing Hobbie Doyle how to say a line correctly was incredibly funny at first, but was carried on too long. The scene lasted approximately one minute, which doesn 't seem too long, but when the scene focuses on one small joke it feels like five minutes. Mysterious scenes were dimly lit, which worked sufficiently. When Baird Whitlock is kidnapped and just wakes up, he has no idea where he is and the lighting doesn 't brighten until he is told why he has been kidnapped and by who. The lighting was also cleverly used during the scene where DeAnna Moran explains to Eddie Mannix she wants to hide her pregnancy. Shadows are casted over their faces and the room is quite dark. The characters are even wearing hats that cover the top of their eyes to add to the secretive
"Crash" tells interlocking stories of whites, blacks, Latinos, Koreans, Iranians, cops and criminals, the rich and the poor, the powerful and powerless, all defined in one way or another by racism. All are victims of it, and all are guilty it. Sometimes, yes, they rise above it, although it is never that simple. Their negative impulses may be instinctive, their positive impulses may be dangerous, and who knows what the other person is thinking?
The film ‘Minority Report’ directed by Steven Spielberg was released in 2002 and is set in the future of 2054. The main idea for Minority Report, is about a crime unit, which is set around 3 psychic twins, the ‘pre-cogs’ who have the ability to see brutal crimes before they are to occur. The pre-cogs are rested in a room, also called ‘The Temple’ where they are nurtured and their visions are recorded. The pre-crime unit, equipped with advance tech rush to the scene and stop the crime before they occur. Tom Cruise being the action movie star he is, playing the on-the-run pre-crime cop role of John Anderton, paired with Steven Spielberg at his directional best, make a significant work of art. Spielberg uses various techniques to portray several ideas to directly show the viewers a certain message.
In one particular scene, director was truly a great one, featuring special focus on his dad life and the Colorado River. It was so cool to highlights of the movie by one of his favorite poem written by his dad when he was born, the Important Place. Also, this film was a good length, not excessively long but long enough to tell the story. This is really important today there were no such unwanted scene in the film, which literary the most closely and accurately delivered. In my opinion, this film is forced to possess the characters of a great aspect, and turns to make for quite the adventurous. There was no special character encounter rather than his dad, learned something from the secret Colorado River. Another great aspect of the film was the special footage that were introduce in this film was an enjoyable aspect to be a good documentary film, and that’s how this film is different from the rest.
The Alfred Hitchcock film; Vertigo is a narrative film that is a perfect example of a Hollywood Classical Film. I will be examining the following characteristics of the film Vertigo: 1)individual characters who act as casual agents, the main characters in Vertigo, 2)desire to reach to goals, 3)conflicts, 4)appointments, 5)deadlines, 6)James Stewart’s focus shifts and 7)Kim Novak’s characters drives the action in the film. Most of the film is viewed in the 3rd person, except for the reaction shots (point of view shot) which are seen through the eyes of the main character.(1st person) The film has a strong closure and uses continuity editing(180 degree rule). The stylistic (technical) film form of Vertigo makes the film much more enjoyable. The stylistic film form includes camera movements, editing, sound, mise-en-scene and props.
In my opinion, there are three specific criteria’s, which make a movie great. First, a great film always has great actors. For example, in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Jack Nicholson, and Danny DeVito are well known actors who played a great role in this film, and wouldn’t have been the same without them. Next, a great movie always has a powerful opening that conveys presents crucial patterns to foreshadow later events in the film. I felt One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest lacked this aspect in its’ opening scene. All that is shown is a beautiful landscape with a mountain in the background, as the viewer sees a car drive by. This scene does not really convey significant patterns that follow throughout the movie. Lastly, a great movie always has a hero with a moral problem. These types of films reveal a unique and significant side to the heroes that give them the strength to prevail at the end of the film. In addition, these films have a hero that tries to override one master problem or goal that help drive the story of the movie. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest fit this criterion excellently. McMurphy, the so-called hero of this film wanted to make the people of the mental institution feel like they were normal. McMurphy constantly helped the group feel like they were men again by doing manly things with them, such as, playing cards, drinking alcohol, going fishing, and playing

10. Excellent Editing: There are many examples of extraordinary editing in the film, such as the brilliant summation of entire life of Kane's marriage in fifteen seconds.
RPGs or role playing games are games in which the player takes on the roles of the characters and controls their actions in order to further character development. RPGs generally have a strong story and character back story that fully immerses the player in the fictional world. Final Fantasy 13 or FF13 for short is the 13th installment in the Final Fantasy franchise and it that falls under this genre of gaming. A game of this genre and style should strive to have well developed visuals, a complete story, full character backstories that are interesting, a non-linear gameplay, and a solid functioning combat system. These things among others are the backbone of games in general and meeting them in a way that creates an in-depth and fun experience is required. All these elements are existent in FF13 but some of them are not fine-tuned or developed enough in order to create an enjoyable experience. Based on those criteria Final Fantasy 13 falls short in compared to its previous installments and in the genre in general.
...successful collaboration of sound, colour, camera positioning and lighting are instrumental in portraying these themes. The techniques used heighten the suspense, drama and mood of each scene and enhance the film in order to convey to the spectator the intended messages.
