Evaluation of the Opening Scenes of an Episode of the X-Files

The Storm troopers break through, and an eye line shot from their perspective is used to show the rebels firing back; connoting a "new perspective" has arrived. The cutters continue, and when the camera cuts back, they have created a smoke screen , and enigma is created as to what will appear next. At this point, all sound cuts to

One of the classic filming technique, but Spielberg makes his tracking shots look different from everyone else. His sideways shots are very long,

Fifth Estate’s 40th episode, “the interrogation room”, essentially analyzes a murder case that occurred on November the third on 2006; the case revolves the shooting and death of a male named Mervyn “Mikey” Spence, who attending an Eric ‘Action’ Morgan’s birthday party. The case was investigated over the course of four years in which the Peel Police had made arrests, but through the use of controversial interrogation methods, were redirected to charge and imprison an innocent man, Morgan. The video further shows how strong alibis and witnesses recanted their statements after the interrogators held them for several hours being threatened and reprimanded; these

When I first viewed this movie, I already knew some of Jackie Robinson’s history, but I was still moved by this revealing depiction of his life during the years 1945-1947. This true story, which was released April 12, 2013, followed what I had learned about Jackie and stayed accurate while still being extremely entertaining. Jackie Robinson’s number on his jersey was 42, he wore that number his entire Major League career with the Brooklyn Dodgers. The movie “42” is a biopic of the legendary baseball player Jackie Robinson, when in 1947 Jackie became the first African-American player to break Major League Baseball’s color barrier. The great directing, acting, and writing made this film enjoyable to watch. This

In the interview, John Huston explained the function of cuts. Without moving our heads, human eyes will not pick up the information in between looking from one object to another. Basically, your eyes can juxtapose two or more objects. This is a cut. Film Editors use cuts to discard information that doesn’t push the story forward.

In a shadowy doorway, the viewers can see a dark figure, almost perfectly hidden besides the legs and feet. Through a wide shot, viewers are shown the wet streets and cobblestone as Holly Martins (Joseph Cotton) yells

A visible pattern in this artifact is the doors becoming transparent. It happens again and again to expose a different scene behind each door. There was an emphasis on the crying child in the film. The eyes reflecting scenes and the zoom in of the tear drops were prominent patterns. The producer uses the eyes, the tears, and the transparent doors to frame the information instead of simply showing each scene. The flashing lights from the ambulance is used to transition from one frame to another. During every domestic abuse scene, the camera films the scenes

As the history of cinema has continued, and at-home entertainment has become available at our fingertips, it has become increasingly important for films to differentiate themselves and to intrigue audiences with either new features or an interesting plot. In 2007, a movie about a man who purchased a sex doll online then pretended the doll was his real girlfriend, sought to make itself stand apart with its somewhat outrageous plot. A quirky film, Lars and the Real Girl was released at a Canadian film festival and received a standing ovation from an enthusiastic crowd. Although the film sounds like a comedy, and uses this perception to emphasize its message, the film really draws attention to how we treat people with mental illness and how we

Another interesting use of camera cutting can be found in the in between scene where Cleo is roaming the streets of Paris. She is now becoming the one watching other people rather than being the one watched as she was in the beginning (probably because of her beauty and famous singer status). While she is watching the camera cuts between other people’s conversations and then while she is walking the camera is in essence her point of view. However during this walk, the people passing are watching her as well, thus proving that this is the transition time. The use of cutting between shots of her and shots of all these people passing her not only show this change in who is watching who, but also allows for a sense of time passing. Interspersed with these shots are images of people we have already met, the widow, the boyfriend, the piano player, as well as the images of a monkey resting on a clock and her wig resting on the mirror, these things conveying how the people who know her see her and how she sees herself. This is a genius montage because these two things represent the same thing, how people see her, how she sees people, and how she sees herself, and by interspersing them we see

If someone just decided to watch the show, without any prior knowledge with the show, it may be an unaccustomed watching experience.

It cuts back and forth between the hose and branch and then back to the man as he grabs his neck and collapses to the ground. As he lays there having a stroke (maybe?) on the ground with the hose in his hand, a dog playfully bites the stream and a baby eating a popsicle walks up. It zooms in on the dog twice and the frame rate is lowered. This in a way symbolizes how

false alarm as was the follow shot. The aim of the false alarm is to

The sequence continues to increase in intensity as a fast tracking shot is present to keep up with the running horse, the accompaniment used becomes faster and is frequently interrupted by the sounds of explosions. Pro-filmic elements again are present and work alongside the tracking shot to increase the intensity, an example being the lighting within the trench which is barely visible with the flash of explosions being the biggest source of light. It isn’t until Joey begins to run towards the other trench that the hero becomes entangled in barbed wire and the climax ends. In contrast to the medium, long and tracking shots previous to this an extreme close up is present during the end of this sequence. After Joey’s struggle to get out of the wire an extreme close up of his eye is used, its spectators see the fear and sorrow within his eyes. Joey is laid powerless and weak, and is in need of a human support in order to survive. The accompaniment has now stopped leaving Joey alone in silence, there is limited use of lighting and dull colours are present, each factor directly influencing the
