Cinematic Techniques In The Dressmaker

Even though Fran became more confident, her costume and makeup still suited her personality. For example at the Pan-Pacific Grand Prix, all of the other female dancers wore bright coloured, revealing outfits, Fran wore a traditional red Spanish dress. At the end of the film Fran’s physical appearance changed dramatically and so did her confidence. These characters are good examples of how Luhrman uses costume and makeup to effectively influence the portrayal and development of characters in the film.

One way the author conveys the theme is through the main character’s actions. She strives to be like an American girl and is stubbornly blind

Ray uses the two archetypes in American film the outlaw hero and the official hero to make his point as well as he discusses the “reluctant hero.” This is a hero that helps their community, but only if it is on their terms and helps them in the end. It is this hero that cuts into the sharp contrast of the official hero by helping their community and the outlaw hero by helping themselves in the process that allows for the hero to reach all of the audience rather than lean too far to one end of the hero spectrum which could make the hero become unrelatable. Likewise, Seger creates a list of steps in which the hero goes through that makes them relatable to everyone, thus giving the hero their popularity. These steps have the hero start out as a normal person, meet a catalyst to start their journey, receive help to start their journey, the hero starts their training, a near death experience happens to our hero causing contemplation, and finally the hero changes to be the permeant hero the story needed. It is the steps that the hero goes through that at some point every person is to be able to relate to such as a struggle to continue, a mundane life to escape or a feeling of determination that the audience has felt at some point. It is in the relatability that Ray and Seger both agree since each states that it is due to how the American audience relates to the hero that allows them to be

He uses high angles and low angles in very similar ways to show what is going on in the film whether it be important or not important. Like in Edward Scissorhands he uses it to show when the flirty lady was flirty with the dishwasher guy and it was low angle to show certain things and what her intent was with him. Then it is eye level when her doorbell rings and she goes to see who it is and its Peggy. Also, in Big Fish it shows mainly eye level things like most of the time when he was talking to the girl but when he went to her house it showed her in her window from a low angle. He uses eye level in Charlie and The Chocolate Factory when Charlie was in the market when he bought the chocolate and it shows the golden ticket and all of the people started offering him money and stuff for the ticket but he didn’t except because of the man who told him to go home and then he left but it was eyelevel the whole time he was in

The theme of a story is the moral message or lesson of a story. There are many themes in Home Alone and Ransom of Red Chief but the one that stood out to me the most was that the looks of people can be extremely different from their actions. In the story Ransom of Red Chief the story states “The kid was a freckle-faced boy of ten with freckles that stood out. His hair was the color of the cover of the magazine you buy at the newsstand when you want to catch a train. Hey little boy! Says Bill Would you like to have a bag of candy and a nice ride? The boy hits Bill square in the eye with a piece of brick”. This illustrates that most people who read this story think he is a good kid by his looks until you read where he hits Bill in the head with a brick. Bill thought he was a good kid but Bill learned the hard way. In a scene from Home Alone the bad guys are looking through the house window and think he’s a helpless little boy, but when they try to get into the house they see he’s not at all what he looks like. Kevin made the steps icey so they would slip, put a blow torch above the door so it would burn their hair and made an iron fall on Marv’s face. This reveals that people first judge others based on their looks but they don't truly know what they are like. Kevin and Johnny look like innocent people but they have another side.

The most obvious of the themes is that of violence, brutality, and torture. Tied into this also is the idea of injustice. Many of these themes are intertwined. Constantly the reader is berated with violent images, or descriptions of violence. These must be on nearly every second page of the novel. A

In the book, Summer of My German Soldier by Bette Greene, there is a story about a Jewish girl named Patty Bergen who befriends and shelters a Nazi POW named Anton Reiker. During this she learns about herself, others, and what it was like to live in the United States at that time, but also learning that it takes courage to do what’s right, fighting corruption, people abusing their power, and knowing to stay loyal to one’s ideals. These things that she learns or that the author wants the reader to grasp are called universal themes. Universal themes are things that the author implies in books, that he or she wants the reader to grasp or learn. There are many themes present in the novel, these include having courage to do what’s right, fighting

Over the last century, the world of services had tremendously changed. Online dating companies, life coaches, party animators, wedding planners and grave-side visitors didn’t exist, even as ideas. Especially, rent-a-mom, rent-a-dad, rent-a-grandma, and rent-a-friend never was existed. These services proliferate in a world that undermines community and believes in the superiority of what’s for sale. According to Hochschild, “the more anxious and isolated we are and the less help we receive from nonmarket sources, the more we feel tempted to fill the void with market offerings.” Greater isolations results in greater demand for market services and professionals to fill in what’s missing. The more hooked individuals get on what the market sells, the more convinced people are that paid expertise is what they lack. The greater people’s dependence on

Many characters dress in thick jute sacks stitched together to form long clothing with hoody without any sandals might also relate early settlers in ancient Greece. This stage setup gave director Pasolini inspirations to professional retain his motive on play as mythical display. For instance, the scene where a young man is used as a human sacrifice and his body parts and blood was smeared on crops in the ritual sparagmos offered viewers with vital details of the villagers’ tradition as barbaric as the executioner dressed with dressed in a different costume labeling him from other villagers. This scene is similarly represents typical traditional values of some primitive tribes in some part of Africa. Director Pasoline did a job with their costumes that ranged from the executioners hat made of steel with two horn stacked on each side and well knitted gown with specially assemble garment rags to the victims head wrapped with rice panicles.

The lighting techniques used in the scenarios shall differ, while on one set the cinematographer and director shall play along with low-key lighting, the other scenarios base shall be that of natural light or hard light. The filters that shall be used in the scenarios shall only be set once the script is complete. There shall be a difference in décor, as both these scenarios will not be correlated. The same can be said about the costumes. The placement of the camera, the amalgamation of the type of shots required shall further help provide scenic realism and help derive a desired emotion. The goal is to understand these elements better by further research and practice.

Created nearly a century ago by Coco Chanel, worn by Edith Piaf as she sang about love and loss and made an everlasting impact on fashion in film. The little Black has changed over the years constantly reinventing itself, however is remains a staple in every women's wardrobe. As it continues to evolve it is nevertheless a symbol of understated elegance.

This "inimical" environment forces the characters to endure and survive (71). The heroes attain their status by using their knowledge of the land to survive the trials it presents. Secondly, horses are expected in Westerns; they are the props. Horses stand at hitching posts, carry the hero over the frontier’s rough terrain, allow the fleeing villain to outrun the pursuing posse, and represent "the heart and soul of a Western" (89-90). But, the essential component of the Western is the hero, the character. Without question, the hero must exude a certain spirit hinting at his physical capabilities, his fearlessness, and his ability to accomplish even the impossible. The Western values his actions over his words (50) and idealizes his physical strength (11). Interestingly, the West requires these heroes to have strength and to act assertively, but their ability to endure the West’s challenges actually molds them into heroes. The rough wilderness, the hero, whose presence dwarfs the robbers and townspeople alike, and the trademark horses that keep the hero in action, carrying him across the unfriendly terrain, provide a working basis on which to compare texts and the roles of the characters. Although Tompkins discusses these elements in the context of the modern Western, they also apply to the earlier texts and are the elements that survived
