Steven Spielberg uses many different filming techniques to make Jurassic Park more engaging for the audience and to develop scenes more than they would without these techniques. One of the most powerful techniques is changing the soundtrack to add tension and suspense during certain parts of a scene. One example is when the dinosaur crashes through the wall as the people start to drive away in the jeep. The speed gets faster, the pitch gets higher, and the overall soundtrack gets louder . This makes the audience slightly scared for the people, especially since only seconds ago, it was completely silent, except for the footfalls of the dinosaur and some quiet dialogue. That leads us to another one of Steven Spielberg’s techniques, which is making

Diversity in films is important because representation matters. Viewers are drawn to shows with ethnically diverse lead cast members. Mostly all viewers love to watch shows that reflect and relate to their own experiences. Reddigari, a freelance writer, also expresses the question of why we lack diversity in films. “Hollywood has been producing inspiring films intended to capture the beauty, joy and sorrow in everyday life. As much as we love our favorite movies, we can’t help but notice that many of them fail to capture the life experiences of all moviegoers, leaving the voices of millions of Americans from diverse backgrounds underrepresented” (This Tumblr Shows the Startling Lack of Diversity in Film). Diversity in films is an important topic in society because it represents equality and people of color to look up to.

Introduction Beauty & the Beast is one of my favorite Disney movies and has never failed to invoke a maudlin feeling in me. However, I do not think that the Orlando Shakespeare Theatre captured what I personally found appealing in Disney movies. They could have done far better with a few iconic scenes by utilizing their lighting and costume design. My opinion may be skewed by the fact that the performance I went to was targeted towards children specifically children with hearing issues because each actor had someone signing everything that they were saying.

The only creature that does not judge Shrek for the way he looks is the donkey. His character is similar in both the movie and the picture book. Donkey wants to be Shrek’s friend and does not flee from him. In fact, Shrek gets annoyed in the movie because Donkey will not leave him alone. He actually wants to stay with him and help him on his journey to find the princess in both the movie and the book.

The animated films of the 1930s and 1940s definitely took advantage of the new Technicolor process. For Disney in particular, it was the only colour process that he felt worked for his films (Telotte 48). Especially since the idea of animated films as feature films was relatively new at the time, there was a necessity for the differentiation of Disney’s films to live-action films so that animated films could be taken seriously. Disney used Technicolor to do just that (Telotte 48). Another, arguably more important reason for the use of colour in the animated films was the “still-developing Disney illusion-of-life aesthetic” (Telotte 48). The colours of the films were used to help portray a natural-looking world, one that would be believable to the viewer despite being animation. Higgins discusses that the preferred Disney aesthetic was that “artists favored pastels and saved strongly saturated hues for accents. Backgrounds were kept desaturated and cool to assure that the main characters would have chromatic prominence […] Disney artists were adept at coordinating color and drama,” (“Order and Plenitude” 299). Even though they preferred to keep it natural, the animators were able to experiment with Technicolour more than the colour directors of live-action films were. As discussed by Francine Stock, “…colour in both setting and lighting could accentuate mood or character – without aping reality,” (83-4). An example of one of these films that Disney was able to experiment with

Traditional ideas of ‘the screen’ have been challenged by recent developments in media technology in various different ways. The screen can be referred to in multiple ways such as a cinema screen and a computer screen. In ‘The World Viewed: Reflections on the Ontology of Film (1971), Stanley Cavell believes, “A screen is a barrier…It screens me from the world it holds - that is, makes me invisible. And it screens that world from me - that is, screens its existence from me.” After reading what Cavell had written, people may believe that he is correct in saying that what the screen holds makes us invisible. An example of this is when we go to the cinema or are using our mobile phones we are somehow not completely in reality, we forget who we are whilst involving ourselves in these activities. The screen is seen as a site of creativity and most people would agree that all screens are seen as a site of creativity, whether or not the more recent developments have challenged the traditional ideas. Recent developments include mobile phones, which have been around since 1973, handheld tablets and more, including the most recent development of the Apple Watch. These developments also include touch screen devices.
