A Voyage Long And Strange: On the Trail of Vikings, Conquistadors, Lost Colonists, and Other Adventurers in Early America

Editing is a true art form. The editor strives to impart visual variety to the picture by skillful shot selection, arrangement and timing. He recreates rather than reproduces the photographic event to achieve a cumulative effort often greater than all the actions in individual scenes put together. A motion picture is a custom-made jigsaw puzzle in which filmmakers fashion the individual pieces. Each piece requires special attention so that it will merge harmoniously with pieces surrounding it. Many editors prefer to make their cuts on movements so that the actual switch from one shot to another is masked by the action. The editing in Steel Magnolias uses wipes and fades to transition from one scene to the other. The editor uses

Sometimes these alterations are necessary for the movie to be understood, other times the director or screenwriter chooses to take stylistic or artistic liberties.

In examining how local and global relationships are mediated during the era of neoliberal globalization, there is a disconnect between appearance and reality. Despite an appearance of prosperity and benefits for both local and global spaces under a system of neoliberal globalization, it is instead an era of inauthentic prosperity in the core built off the exploitation of periphery nations. With the violent realities of neoliberal prosperity displaced to the periphery of the world-system, the genre of Afrofuturism allows literature to mediate and discover the importance of hidden histories while giving a voice to the marginalized. Nalo Hopkinson’s novel The New Moon’s Arms and Pauline Melville’s short story “The Sparkling Bitch” work to reconstruct

Certain technique of mise-en-scene and cinematography can improve the film by creating relationship to meaning of the film or responses of spectators. Deep space composition can be suitable example

The article Man Takes First Steps on the Moon seeks to inform the audience of the United States’ moon landing. However, it also attempts to aggrandize the event using various occurrences of pathos. For instance, the text uses terms such as “spectacular moment,” “good shape,” “ultra careful,” “dramatic descent,” “spectacular shot,” etc. in order to create a dramatic effect. The article would then explore what other countries thought about the landing, using the despondent Russia to demonstrate feelings of defeat. Little ethos was used, since the article wasn’t meant to persuade, but inform, and since the Times newspaper is considered to be quite trusted. Most of the logos was in the form of quotations, such as “Tranquility base. The Eagle has

In this essay I will be discussing five key points throughout Post Production history between the 1900s-1960s. Post Production is seen as a vital component in the cinematic industry as it essentially finalises the final products. Techniques that have been developed over the years are incredibly important, but they all have an origin. Although these techniques started out without overwhelming effect, they are now unbelievably crucial to how films are constructed. The five points I wish to discuss go as follows: The Great Train Robbery and Edwin Porter himself, D.W. Griffith and his overwhelming influence on editing, The Jazz Singer, the Kuleshov Effect and finally, 2001: A Space Odyssey. As well as discussing these key factors, this essay will take into consideration secondary material.

The Kuleshov Workshop explored the effects of juxtaposition in film, and how sequential shots convey a

Katie Herrmann Dr. Heath Cinema Appreciation 24 November 2014 George Lucas When it comes to the filmmaking industry, there are many greats. Each one has stamped their unique methods onto the world of film that developed into the beloved art that is present today. Among one of those greats is George Lucas. George singlehandedly had one of the most significant impacts on the development of special effects and sound technology.

For example, when Madeleine wonders into the forest, Scotty’s curiosity provokes him to start walking in that direction, as seen in shot 17. The action is immediately continued in shot 18, as Scotty continues his quest for Madeleine, keeping the viewer engaged in the situation. The arising suspense from these two shots results from the prior use of accelerated editing rhythm. There is a series of short shots, 12-17, which show Madeleine venturing away and Scotty’s bewildered reaction. The tension and suspense build as each shot captures Madeleine walking further away until she seems to disappear in between shots. In sum, the editing techniques serve to explicitly enhance the action and implicitly convey the narrative.

Throughout the beginning of time people have used art to express themselves. With each major, and minor, there is an artist that captures the world as it is around him. There are also artists that create fiction to give the world and escape from reality. The medium of art that will be discussed in this essay will be film. Since the invention of Thomas Jefferson kinecto graph and the Lumiere brothers cinemtograph, films have continued to be the most popular entertainment methods in France and America. Since historical events have somewhat of an impact on the content in film, this essay will take a look at the effects of films years before and after World II. World War II was one of the major historical events to have

The RKO studios, one of the eight companies of the oligopoly, premiered King Kong at the Radio City Music Hall in New York King Kong is well known for its groundbreaking use of special effects such as stop-motion, animation, matte painting, rear projection, and miniatures, all of which were conceived decades before the digital age. King Kong has been credited as one of the first movies that was ever produced that incorporated sequences of miniatures to re-enact the first special effects ever shot in films. The editors used rear projected images that were put up one frame at the time using a tiny screen that was built into the miniatures and they would advance frame by frame having the animation in the front while photographing each scene. The two common technical practices that were used to create special effects back in the days were “rear projections (also called back projection) or optical printing” (Thompson and Bordwell 221). The King Kong film integrated human actors and stop-motion puppets into the same shots. Special effects would become a very important feature of future science fiction productions. King Kong, as well as some early fiction movies attempts, became the base to experiment different ways and techniques for creating new fantastic worlds. There are a lot of ways to look at the genre of science fiction because no definitional consensus of the term has been reached among scholars. This is why the arguments of this essay only focuses in the techniques used to produce the movie and in its possible cultural representations. As Carl Freedman in his book, Critical Theory and Science Fiction, once

Montage, a name synonymous with Editing, is an original film style with different techniques used by the Soviet filmmakers between 1924 and 1930 to construct a film narrative. Montage is the connection between one shot and the other, a continuous or discontinuous relationship between shots. According to David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson (2012: 478), Soviet directors maintained that, “through editing, two shots give birth to a feeling or idea not present in either one”. This ‘feeling’ or ‘idea’ then guides a viewer into understanding or making a “conceptual connection” of the narrative (Bordwell 1972: 10). Strike (1925) and Mother (1926), directed by Sergei Eisenstein and Vsevolod Pudovkin respectively, are films made in the Soviet Montage era that show a juxtaposition between shots across the film. This essay discusses the different techniques used in these films that show the functions and effects of Montage.

The editing process of a movie is a very important part in which a film editor can proudly show his creative abilities. A lot work and effort goes into editing a film. Film editors can edit out a scene from a movie that they did not like. They can also shoot two scenes separately and then edit it together to make it seem as if it was shot together. The film editor works with many parts to make a finished movie; such as, sound, images and characters’ dialogs. Editing can be used in many different ways in a film and a film editor must edit all these aspects in a way that produces a coherent and smooth transition of the story.

Communication between Individuals in a Relationship Communication is defined as the sharing or imparting of information from one person to another. In the short story The Sun, The Moon, The Stars by Junot Diaz we are privy to the relationship between a young man Yunior and his girlfriend Magda. The story starts out with Magda receiving a letter from a young woman Cassandra, stating explicit details about her sexual escapades with Yunior. Magda is heartbroken and confused, and Yunior tries to patch things up with Magda but to no avail.
