Cory Arcangel exhibits a film called Super Mario Clouds, 2002. Arcangel hacked a cartridge of Super Mario Brothers, modified to erase everything but the clouds. It illustrates animated clouds from the game Super Mario which the clouds are gradually floating horizontally for a whole six minutes. In the next film Michael Bell-Smith, Up and Away, 2006 exhibits a multitude of colorful and animated sceneries which changed every second to seven minutes. Bell-Smith collected the beautiful and creative perspective from video games and created a slideshow with video game sound effect and calming beach music. Arcangel’s 2002 film demonstrates the iconic scrolling pixelated clouds with a beryl bright blue background. The white clouds were …show more content…
moving in a slow and calming pace with no sound in the background. It was plain and simple. The artist Arcangel took off the characters and obstacles and left the white iconic clouds. Bell-Smith’s film portrays marvelous animated cityscapes, skylines, landscapes in such a short loop of seven minutes. His film is packed with different energy with bright, matte, dapples, harmonious, translucent colors adding a different perspective every second. It was all about colors, lighting, sky, creativity, futuristic, gaming, space, landscapes, mother nature, buildings, pathways, roads, and mountains. It was truly capturing his artistic creativity with each scene. The short film played a harmonious, soothing, playful, and whimsical sound. Both are astonishing and innovative artists.
Their pieces are not original but they thought out of the box and created their own version. The differences between the two films were the scenery, the colors the artist used, sound and the way they were formatted. Bell-Smith used different saturated colors, while Arcangel used beryl blue and white. Bell-Smith’s film was primarily about different deep perspectives with calming beach sound, while Arcangel’s used animated scrolling clouds with no sound. Both were moving at a different pace, for example, Arcangel's work moved in a passive and quiet pace, while Bell-Smith moved high above and rapid. Arcangel's film is being portrayed horizontally, while Bell Smith portrayed vertically. Both of them had movement and energy because Arcangel's film reminds the individual playing the game and Mario’s characters jumping on the clouds, while Bell-Smith it took the individual to different scenes and parts of the world. For instance, I felt I was traveling around the world within seconds it didn’t give me time to analyze each compelling scene. Both artists brought me to a different world like if I was in the video game and it brought me back to my childhood when I use to play video games and yell at the screen because Mario will fall out from the
clouds.
...clouds above refer to traditional Japanese screen paintings and provide a softening side to the water. They create a balance symbolising hope and good luck. Four wind symbols are used as a devise to balance the composition – all are blowing air gently into the picture. The cartoon like face with its puffed out, red cheeks expelling air. All suggest a positive, natural energy.
These pieces are both very similar, but the movie has its own twist, therefore transforming The Odyssey into a movie about a prisoner’s epic journey. The movie really has a good way in trasforming the book. They are not exactly the same, which makes the movie very interesting and fun to compare all of the events of The
... almost nothing alike from a superficial aspect. The stories have different historical contexts and they simply don’t have much in common to the average audience. It is easy to contrast the stories, but deep within certain elements, the stories can be linked in several ways.
My initial idea for this paper was to focus on the technical aspects of the film—the hybrid of animation and live action. I first saw this technique used in The Three Caballeros (Ferguson & Young, 1944) and was going to research this film, but the amount of literature on t...
These two films come from entirely different genres, have entirely different plots, and are even based in entirely different galaxies, but the share the theme of the hero’s journey. This concept can be equally applied to nearly every book, movie, and other such works, as long as you dig under the surface and find the meaning beneath. The elements of the hero’s journey are found in both films, and with a critical eye, can be found all around us. This is the classic story of the hero; in every shape and form an author can apply it too.
...s, the directors of both films were able to use characters to express social issues and the political lunacy of 20th century America. Whether it was Bonnie and Clyde or Annie and Bart, these couples mirrored the resistance against order otherwise known as the government. The socialist overtones are died down by the thrills and action in the films yet, retaining the original message: Be aware of what is happening in our society and the government's involvement in socio-cultural spaces. Joseph H. Lewis's characters and the use of noir to break from order into the element of chaos; moving from ignorance and mindless obeisance to awareness and individualism. Arthur Penn uses of depression era gangsters reflect the grim events of the 60's. In conclusion, the couples of both films are similar through social-historical contexts as well as film elements of order and chaos.
...lm. With the director’s use of special effects, this proves that he had an artistic way of showing the film, as well as his use of ambiguous scenes and sequences that were provided in the film. By making it a classical cinema film, the Kubrick did a good job in proving the realism of space and all, as well as using the film order to make the movie in order. By making the film both art and classical cinema, this just makes the movie even better and the director more smarter for being able to do this in one movie.
... and negative associations within the genre. Even with the obvious differences, both styles have borrowed concepts from the other, enriching each of their popularity in cinema.
...original is better than both films can be seen in the music. What the music does in both the films is it creates an atmosphere not created by the text. This can be seen in the older version with the music is too uptight making the viewer focus too much on the moments in the story. One example of this is in this is in the tense sound track during the fight scenes in the market. Overall, both the movies truly do not compare to the original story because is takes away from the atmosphere created by the costuming and music.
...have already begun to see – more as a means to playful firing visual fascination. The opposition of realistic film visual culture and non-narrative montage tradition has begun to breakdown. It is leading towards hybridization of realistic and stylized editing. Thus at one extreme there is a montage phenomenon of music video and on the other hand the editing technique of traditional cinema comes together. Montage is no longer a dominant aesthetic according to the new computer culture, as it was throughout the twentieth century, from the avant-garde of the 1920s up until postmodernism of the 1980s. New editing techniques like composting has emerged which combines different spaces into a single environment seamlessly creating a virtual space. Compositing is an example of the alternative aesthetics of continuity and it is considered counterpart of montage aesthetics.
One major and the most notable difference in the films is the setting. The setting of the 1968 version is set in Verona, Italy with buildings, courtyards, and streets similar to the middle ages. It follows the play as closely as possible that effectively brings us back to
Although both movie displayed many similarities they also had very different styles representative of the decade both directors accomplished
As one of the most popular directors in Hollywood, Christopher Nolan was known for his complex storyline and non-linear structure of the film. His most famous work including The Prestige (2006), Inception (2010), Batman series (2005, 2008, 2012), many of his work has been nominated for numerous awards. This paper mainly analyses two famous film posters from his works, The Dark Knight (2008) and Inception (2010).
