Oblique shots are shots taken at a tilted angle. Straight lines become diagonals which gives a shot an overwhelming feeling in an unstable world.
The director mainly used eye level shots, to leave it up to the audience to judge the two main characters of the movie, although certain power struggles in the film are shown from high angles to illustrate someone dominating a conversation or argument. Figgis also uses some point of view shots to show the imbalance during Ben’s drunken periods where the camera is placed at an oblique angle to show tension and approaching movements. The images in the film are in high contrast with streaks of blackness and harsh shafts of light to underline the dramatic events that occur.
Film exists in layers of physical existence and reality. You have the layer the audience views of the film’s world - setting, characters, and plot - and then you have the layer the film production workers view of the film’s world - actors, the set, and the story. Like photography, film is able to establish a physical existence. However, unlike photography, film uses two very unique and different techniques in order to establish its physical existence. According to Siegfried Kracauer, film establishes its physical existence through representation of reality as it evolves through time and with the help of techniques and devices exclusive to cinema cameras (Kracauer 187). All the world is a stage for film, however Kracauer lists specific techniques of film he refers to as cinematic due to how these techniques are read on the cinematic medium. Although Kracauer wrote his theory on Establishment of Physical Existence in 1960, the 2015 movie Tangerine contains a fair amount of content that can be serviced as examples in order to support Kracauer’s theory. Using the 2010’s movie Tangerine directed by Sean S. Baker, modern cinema examples from various scenes of the film can be provided for examples on Siegfried Kracauer’s theory of Establishment of Physical Existence through cinema’s recording functions of nascent motion, cinema’s revealing function of transients, and cinema’s revealing function of blind spots of the
The documentary Visions of Light was made for the purpose of showing the art of cinematography. Cinematography was defined throughout the film as the making of a motion picture. “I found out that I was unconsciously responding to light.” said by Ernest Dickerson an American film director and cinematographer. Light is thought of to be something so little but means so much in a film. It is used to change the emotion and to tell people where to look.

The same is true if you were to angle your camera down towards the ground. Generally, you will want to point your camera straight ahead focused on the object you are capturing.
After reading both articles by Mr.Niose and Dr. Chandra. They both used critical thinking. In the article by Mr.Niose he thought critically by saying that after the incident that happened in Charleston many people will discuss that the reason behind racism and gun violence. Mr.Niose is trying to look at it from a different perspective. He mentions that it could be tied with the nation’s culture of ignorance. “Many will correctly blame Roof's actions on America's culture of racism and gun violence, but it's time to realize that such phenomena are directly tied to the nation's culture of ignorance.” He talks about how people will say its racism which could be true, but they need to look at the root cause of racism and ignorance. Mr.Nioise isn’t defending Dylann Roof and not saying what he did is okay but, he is looking at other possibilities like a mental issue that doesn’t have basic notions that humans are supposed to have. As for Dr. Chandra article response to Mr.Niose Dr. Chandra was a more closed off, but thought critically of what he was saying and pointing out. For example, he knows that we are self-centered and therefore we have our beliefs and he also believes that self-centeredness is killing American not anti-intellectualism. He thinks for it to more reasonable we need empathy.
For these reasons production occurred entirely indoors on the sound stages of MGM. Because of the large set, as many as nine cameras hidden in bushes or potted plants would be used to film one scene. The hidden cameras took close-ups, while the main camera, used to capture the whole scene, was on the end of a boom and was constantly moving. The extensive lighting equipment necessary for Technicolor photography in 1939 is very apparent in these behind-the-scenes shots. Banks of lights lined the floor of the stages and the catwalks above the actors and made the set uncomfortably hot, especially for the actors wearing heavy costumes. Because the film was studio-bound, a lot of responsibility fell on the special effects department. Mattes were used extensively to give depth to the Kansas landscape, and a sense of distance to the Land of Oz. Intricate trick photography was employed to allow a

Aravind has done an outstanding performance for a very long period of time. From the internal analysis, there are several strategies we can pull out to explain their success. First, they have used the same methods for everyone, and in every places. They have reached the McDonald efficiency in the medical field. They do not differentiate their customers, which in this case are their patients. Aravind treats every patient with the same quality regardless if that was a high income patient who pays for the treatment, or a low income patient who could not afford and use the free charging option.

A camera lens focuses patterns of light onto film which records the image exactly. If the lens is out of focus or partially covered, a b lurry or obscured picture will result. The film is a recording device, it does not interpret and select what it portrays. Images from a camera are objective in a very literal sense. Seeing, however, is not such a seamless process. Our eyes work similarly to a camera in that they have a lens which focuses a real image on our retina, a light sensitive sheet of cells. This retinal image is a portrayal of the world as it truly is. The image which we see, however, is not this image. By considering a normal vis ual property as well as an uncommon ocular disorder the process of formulating our
