scene because I feel it’s an important scene in the movie. It’s a momentous time in their lives when they decide to leave the comfort and security of their homes, to fend for themselves. The four techniques I have chosen to discuss in this scene are camera shots, actor’s performance, sound, lighting and focus. I have chosen these as I think they all create meaning in this
like an amateur’s work. The poor quality largely results from the use of hand-held camera. The Idiots does not strive to emphasise the beauty, which is shown clearly by excluding aesthetics that are supposed to attract the viewers. Shots are frequently out of focus especially when the camera chases the running actors or follows the actors’s fast movement. Besides, the images wobble throughout the film due to hand-held camera and the editing is comparatively abrupt. In the last scene when Karen goes
movement are encouraged; pan, tilt, dolly, tracking, crane or hand-held (Mittell, 194). On a basic level, this keeps shots visually interesting, even if the objects in the frame stationary. With the exception of the shakiness that comes with using a hand-held camera, camera movement is typically reserved for shots no tighter than a medium shot. On long shots establishing the outside of buildings where interiorly action is taking place, the camera will either pan, tilt, or in some occasions be a crane shot
film-making rules in the production of Breathless. His use of jump-cuts and camera zooms create Godard’s own style of film-making. Godard strives for discontinuity instead of the common continuity all prior film-makers hoped to produce. Breathless is a confusing and disorienting film, but its beauty is in the narrative. Godard tells a conventional crime story in a means in which interests the viewer. The editing styles and camera angles bring the viewer a new feeling of film. They are not drawn into the

base a movie only on realism. I think a good movie has to have some kind of character or formalism to carry the viewer through these realistic scenes. In my critique I wish to point out some uses of realism and camera effects in the movie saving Private Ryan. In my eyes saving Private Ryan is a masterpiece. Although the movie is nearly three hours in length, it is evenly distributed and takes on a powerful subject. I think ‘Saving
in the film, the director can convey his political and narrative intentions. Examples of the use of cinematography techniques, such as camera scale, frame, quality and movement in the film will demonstrate how the director chooses to portray Sergio as a character, to offer a subject-objective view of the early years of the Cuban revolution. The quality of camera shots operates to individualize Sergio as a self-involved and emotionally isolated character. Through the use of medium close up, over-shoulder
result of a lightweight, portable 16mm camera and high quality lightweight audio recorders becoming available. The introduction of these, together with film-stock which was sensitive enough to give a good quality close-up monochrome picture under most lighting conditions (Including hand-held lights) led to a revolution in Documentary filmmaking, allowing film crews to be much more flexible. Gone were the days of bulky, virtually immobile 35mm cameras; now manufacturers improved their 16mm

The Media Techniques Used to Produce D-day Landing on the Saving Private Ryan and The Longest Day The D-Day landing must have been one of the most brutal battles between the Americans and the Germans during the World War 2. Both "Saving Private Ryan" and "The Longest Day" were produced as films to represent the brutality of what the D-Day was like. However, although both films were similar in the perspective of the factual storyline, their standards of filming and production were different
Hello, My Name Is Orson Welles Orson Welles liked to reuse certain elements throughout his films. He liked a good deep focus shot. He liked low key lighting. He liked the grotesque side of life, blocking actors in groups of three, low camera angles and especially pointy bras. He also liked to open his movies in a certain predictable way. In Citizen Kane, he used the announcer in "News on the March" to introduce the subject and main character, Charles Foster Kane. In The Magnificent Ambersons, Welles
by Steven Spielberg was set in 1998, with an opening half hour sequence that was shattering in its realism and ruthless in its depiction of violence. Saving Private Ryan breaks some of the traditional conventions of the war film genre as hand held cameras operating at incredibly fast shutter speeds, capture the chaos and confusion dozens of soldiers undergo whilst battling for their lives and nation at Omaha Beach, giving the footage a startlingly quality, which is improved by the use of de-saturated
the Ludovico treatment with the Prison Champlain, feel more tense when shot in real-time. But then there are scenes of excessive violence where montages and hand held camera angles are utilized. During the final scene in the first act, when Alex fights off the Cat-lady, the fight is shot in quick cuts from a hand held/wide angle lensed camera to give the scene a thrilling encounter.
clearly homage to that of The Blair Witch Project, this shows that the filming style was not just a gimmick and to modern audiences is still very popular amongst audiences when it is pulled off correctly. However although there is a great level of hand-held camera features as of recent, I believe that The Blair Witch Project has been the most successful in accomplishing a mixture of fact and fiction. May it be through the actor’s method techniques and improvised actions and dialogue, or purely down to
shore. The camera pans to capture the expressions on the soldiers' faces. The soldiers are young, apprehensive and visibly scared. The technique that Spielberg uses here evokes in the audience an empathy with the soldiers. In the close ups the audience gets the opportunity to feel what the soldiers are experiencing. The hand held cameras cause the film to have a rocky motion, this adds to the feeling of sea sickness that the audience feels along with the soldiers. As the camera moves among

Opening Scene of the BBC Production of Great Expectations by Charles Dickens This essay will analyse the opening scene of the BBC production of ‘Great Expectations’ by Charles Dickens. It will comment on the different sounds, lighting, editing, camera movement and mise en scene I will also observe how these techniques create dramatic tension and how they can set a mood for the rest of the film. The novel ‘Great Expectations’ is about a boy named Pip. His parents die and leave him under his
Benoît Jacquot employs variations in camera shots and lighting techniques to convey the difference in social class and change in mood throughout the film. A recurring pattern that distinguishes the royal class from the common folk is the movement of the camera. In the beginning of the film, there are fast transitions and the frames move quickly from one character to the other. Fast horizontal pan shots trail Sidonie as she moves across the room and the camera seems to lack stability in its movements
