STEP TWO: FOCUS Answer the question, “Which three details are most interesting (or significant or revealing or strange)?” 1. Ida’s wig is a symbol of strength and resilience as it signifies that Ida has gone through chemotherapy the fact that feels freest with herself is when she is able to swim naked without her wig stresses the concept that Ida is beautiful on the inside and outside without any need for distractions. 2. An incongruous and beautifully natural aspect of Ida’s oceans shot is how Ida’s Naked body, Dominantly Stands out from the natural light. Because of her lack of hair, the first bird's eye view shot makes her look alien like, which reflects and accentuates her cancer survivor body. 3. The Non-diegetic music of the …show more content…
A Naked white hairless human body swims across the Dark blue ocean of the earlier sea shot. The white body shimmers from its reflection and contrast of colour in the water. Ida’s wig is a symbol of strength and resilience as it signifies that Ida has gone through chemotherapy the fact that feels freest with herself is when she is able to swim naked without her wig stresses the concept that Ida is beautiful on the inside and outside without any need for distractions.

She refers to the airmen’s fair hair, stressing the youth of the airmen and their innocence but now they are dead. It represents the inhumanity of war as the airmen were still youthful and innocent and there was no need for their lives to be taken.
In the shot where John and Madeline are behind the tree trying to discuss where she was born or who she is (around two minutes fifty seconds), the camera zooms in on the two of them. As John keeps pushing her to talk, she gets even more confused and frustrated. To emphasize this, the directors made the camera zoom in so you can see every emotion on her face up close and personal. This connects this scene to the ideology that you are always connected to your past, whether you know it or not. Inside, she knows that she is Carlotta, but she can’t establish the difference between herself and the side of her that is Carlotta. In addition to zooming, the scene also includes deep focus. By using deep focus throughout the entire scene, you get a better scene of space. By establishing this large space within the shots, it creates a contrast within the film. Although there is so much space in the scenes, Madeline still feels enclosed by her own mind. You can tell that once she gets out of the trees, she lets go slightly. Without the use of cinematography, we would be looking at a whole different
C. Preview of Main Points: (How many main points will you have and what exactly are they?) Today I am going to inform you about….
Move 2 is to define significant parts and how they are related. These will start with ‘Notice and Focus,’ which is having question, “What do I notice?”
The image is brighter and sharper in the film. The contrast of the film really affects the mood. Since the contrast is so bright the viewer is bound to stay focused and aware because everything is so catchy and noticeable. Also, the exposure changes throughout the film. At the very beginning the film starts in black and white and changed to color as the story progressed. The filmmaker uses a lot of Long Takes, each shot of Dorothy meeting someone new is pretty lengthy.
The description goes along with the evil theme in the story. 3. Faith is associated with the pink ribbon representing innocence and loyalty. Her ribbon slowly sliding off her hair and when it floats in the forest, in a way represents not only her but the people as sinners. 4.
Throughout the story Edna is endeavoring to elude the life she has been coerced to live. The first examples of this symbol would be the parrot and the mockingbirds. They are caged and unable to communicate with world outside, both feelings that Edna feels a deep understanding for. Victorian women had very rigorous prospects they lived by. They were coerced to stay at home and care for the children and home.
The meaningful idea is hope that Lina has that helps her survive throughout harsh things done to her, and her family. Furthermore, I think Lina showed hope over hate even in the darkest times for her family, and the people she met, willing to help one
This leaves the women looking like actresses preparing for a performance. Enhancing this feeling are both the hair-fixing scene in the mirror and the dramatic pose which occurs in the background. Even the seated woman’s facial expression appears artificial and exaggerated. So the lighting, combined with pose and facial expression, depicts the women as actresses simply putting on an act.
For the imagery the director did a good job throughout the whole movie.” He zoomed in at good times like in the beginning of the story they zoomed in on Lennie” and George hiding from the men. People can go on and on with how good of a job they did with the imagery but
The poem begins with Aurora Leigh's observations of her aunt. "Her somewhat narrow forehead braided tight/ As if for taming
In about the fourth scene Lorelei, Dorothy, and Gus get onto the ship before the boat leaves. The angle of the camera starts high on Lorelei walking down the hall making the hallway appear longer. When the camera tracks Lorelei to the windows it flattens out making a longer medium shot and made her the center of the shot giving her the look of importance. The next part of the scene when Lorelei is talking to Gus, the angle again changes to a slightly high angle making the area appear bigger and giving Gus the advantage of looking more important than Lorelei. This continuous flow of angles and movement sets the tone for the conversations of the two lovers. The angle changes to a low angle when Dorothy starts singing. The angle helps keep the focus on Dorothy and keep her in the focus of the scene, rather than the rest of the Olympian team. This is only one part of the movie that utilizes the angles to create the look of wealth and keep the focus on the main
Also when they made the connection with a singing canary and Minnie Wright who didn’t sing anymore. The symbol of the quilt came to me when one of the women starts fixing it, because she cared about the quilts. That made me realize that it must have been odd for her quilt to become so sloppy. This showed larger importance when the men kept making fun of the quilt, which made me think more about what the quilt meant. This also shows how the men were so clueless about what the quilt meant.
The first shot is a close up on Olive’s face mainly on her chunky glasses that reflect the T.V screen replaying the crowning of Miss America. This shows us her fascination with becoming a beauty queen and so does the fact that she is mimicking the actions displayed on the T.V screen. This dream of Olives to become a beauty queen is quite unrealistic because as it shows on the T.V show, Miss America contestants are all skinny and beautiful and they look fake. While Olive isn’t the skinniest of girls and expresses who she really is by wearing clothes that are more suited to a boy. But
Linda is Willy’s loving wife who is always mending stockings. The stockings symbolize Linda because she is trying to fix Willy and she is always fixing the stockings. Also, stockings represent Willy’s love interest because stockings are feminine. “‘What’s that?’ ‘Just mending my stockings.
