Due To The Fact Allied Forces

... nces in its style of reporting. Eager to get
the facts out might give hints and other possible
information that might prove harmful against the
allied forces. Notice that I used the term allied
forces. CNN was also praised for showing the
entire picture of who was involved in the
fighting. Many stations, for obvious reasons only
displayed the American involvement in the war. The
reason being for this is CNN is a global news
service, whereas the likes of ABC, NBC, and CBS
cater to the America...

Piece Of Work Olive Oil
981 words
The traditional model of an Auteur could be seen
as a director that takes the script, and
"transforms it into an original piece of work ."
This may seem a rather ambiguous definition, but
all that is needed to make clear what the practice
of auteurism is, is one piece of work that fits
the definition perfectly. Robert Altman's Popeye
is just that. Altman took an institution, that of
Popeye, a classic American icon, and wrote it to
fit it to his traditional thematic concerns. It
has been Altman's...

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein: Myth for Modern Man
How can we think of Frankenstein and ignore the
film classic of 1931 who can forget the remarkable
appearance of Boris Karloff as the unnamed
monster? Yet the celebrated film does not follow
the novel by Mary Shelley. Although the scene of a
futuristic laboratory entrances movie audiences
with the mad Dr. Frankenstein and his faithful
assistant Igor, the scene is derived from
twentieth century imaginations and interests, not

Cinematography: Everything You Need To Know
(sin-uh-muh-the'-ruh-fee) Cinematography is the
technique and art of making motion pictures, which
are a sequence of photographs of a single subject
that are taken over time and then projected in the
same sequence to create an illusion of motion.

The Hypodermic Syringe Model

The hypodermic syringe model suggest that the
media is alike a magic bullet and when an audience
is targeted it will immediately be knocked down
when they are hit. The hypodermic-syringe model
also suggests that society is passive and the
media inject their media influence into society
and manipulates it. The Frankfurt school
envisioned the media as a hypodermic syringe, and
the contents of the media were injected into the
thoughts of the audience, who accepted the
attitudes, opinions and belief...

On The Waterfront And High Noon
1,337 words
Much that characterised Hollywood in the 1950 s
can be described as paradoxical and ambiguous due
to anti-communist hysteria and the blacklist. How
accurate is this statement in relation to two
films of the 1950 s? A lot has been made of the
suggested subtexts present in High Noon and On the
Waterfront, that they reflect the experiences of
Carl Foreman (the writer of High Noon) and Elia
Kazan with the House Committee on Un-American
Activities. Foreman has openly assented to this,
and Kazan has a...

Analysis Of The Cinematography American Beauty
1,186 words
Cinematography is an art form, not just an aspect
of a movie. Cinematography affects the mood and
tone of a movie as well as the viewers feelings
while watching a movie. In American Beauty this is
demonstrated beautifully through camera
techniques, lighting, and the framing of the shot.
Camera techniques include aerial, deep focus, pan,
shallow focus, slow motion, soft focus, and the
tracking shot. Lighting is more than just shining
a light on a character. The cinematographer must
know how to ma...

Francis Ford Coppola Forty Five

Following careful thought on which director to
study, I chose Francis Ford Coppola. Although he
has directed more films than I have had the
opportunity to experience, I have viewed enough to
understand his progression and style of his work.
Over almost forty years of work, Coppola has
directed about twenty-five films, produced near
forty-five, composed two, and acted in eight. He
is known predominantly for Apocalypse Now (1979)
and The Godfather I (1972), II (1974), and III
(1990). However, he h...

as times have changed, so too have the methods of
trying to manipulate the buyer to buy a certain

conservative and not as sexually explicit as they
are today. However, today, many ads are very

Marlow's friend gets his head chopped off. In the
book, he has no such friend. Marlow arrives at the

dramatically because this scene is used for drama

The Madame De MADAME de The film Madame de,
directed by Max Ophuls is perfection. This tragedy
of love, which begins in narcissistic flirtation
and passes from romance to passion, to
desperation, is set, ironically, in aristocratic
circles that seem too superficial to take love
tragically. Everything from the writing, casting,
direction, photography and finally to editing is
flawless. It is an example of a film done right,
an example of a director with a vision, and the
