Look What You Made Me Do Analysis

Music, editing, and camera angles are used by Chazelle to explore the effects of a volatile and manipulative student-teacher relationship. The cinematography and music used throughout the scene intensify the volatile relationship

On the surface, a good number of films produced by Tim Burton prompt similar themes of dark satire and grisly outcomes. However, throughout the progress of the film Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, I found my initial impressions of the typically grim director to be baseless and skewed. From being introduced to songs like No Place Like London and my personal favorite, A Little Priest, to the surreal interpretation of lust, loss, and revenge; Burton’s establishes his take on mischief, malice, and meat pies through each individual scene and character development. Moreover, each musical number complements not only the twist and turns of the plot, but also each character’s respective personalities. The reinterpretation of what

The short story I have chosen to adapt to a feature film is of the works by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his most successful character Sherlock Holmes. The Final Problem by Conan Doyle was written in 1893 for the Strand Magazine for which he wrote a series of short stories for them from 1886 to 1927. The last story was published three years before his death. The title came about because Conan Doyle felt that there was a problem with the now beloved character when he wished to kill him off due to his ambivalence towards him. I am going to discuss my adaption ideas for The Final Problem and to create a film that encapsulates the essence of the crime-solving duo of Holmes and Watson.

Sometimes it is genuinely surprising how different novels and cinematic arts can be, don’t you think? One example of this comparison is found in the Hound of the Baskervilles novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The novel written by, Arthur C. Doyle, while the movie adaptation(2002 edition) directed by, David Attwood. In the movie adaptation Richard Roxburgh plays as Sherlock Holmes and Ian Hart plays as Dr. John Watson. These two different portrayals of the same story show how much a novel and a movie can vary.

The music video for Katy Perry’s song, “Rise”, shows her overcoming each obstacle she comes across. The video utilizes both rhythmic and spatial relations as well as using continuity and discontinuity between shots in order to tell the story of the song. First, the video utilizes rhythmic relation to get the viewer anticipating the clip change. Essentially, rhythmic relation is the length of the individual clips. The music video is a compilation of various length clips that utilize both continuity and discontinuity to effect one’s feelings towards the video. For example, in the beginning of the music video, it shows Katy Perry pulling a parachute through a series of rapid yet smooth changing clips. This sequence of clips offers continuity between

And so the character of bond is portrayed different in both films. Although his character may change his role as Bond himself is still likewise. The role of bond is basically a man who fights villains and saves the day. He is a secret agent working for MI6. If you were to look for a character to play Bond the kind of things you would look out for in the actor would be as follows: tall, unique looking, fit and healthy, young and an actor who has a low profile so he would then be a type cast of Bond.

Sherlock Holmes has been portrayed to have quite significant differences and similarities in his short stories and his movie. Some fascinating observation while reading his short stories was that Sherlock Holmes sees and notices everything he encounters. In the movie Holmes seems to be a bit distracted in his cases. In his short stories Sherlock is quick witty and confident and does not count on much help because he can solve cases on his own but in the movie Holmes is willing to take an extra hand because he can use it.

The new version of Sherlock by the BBC is similar to the old novels in many ways. It is still about the great detective Sherlock, and his friend, Watson solving mysteries together. However, it uses the items in the story, the elements of the story, and its cultural narrative to move the stories into the 21st century.

A film is an art form. Composer, Henry Mancini, once said, “the real creative power is in the mind and heart of the composer.” Henry Mancini was the composer for Touch of Evil and Breakfast at Tiffany’s. While these two films may seem like they don’t connect with each other at any point, they do and it is with Henry Mancini. By examining Touch of Evil and Breakfast at Tiffany’s through the lens of Henry Mancini’s music choices we can see that Mancini’s music choices were just as important as Blake Edwards, director. Many people like to think that the directors of a film are the ‘authors’ of a film compared to screenwriters but Mancini challenges that theory, especially with his work in Touch of Evil and Breakfast at Tiffany’s. In these

The time period in which the story, Everything I Never Told You by Celestine Ng is modern and realistic. It’s easier to relate to the story and the characters in comparison to the other texts we’ve read this year, because the author mentions places and activities people might still know today. Additionally, the writing style is straightforward unlike Romeo and Juliet. When reading the story, I developed a distaste for all the characters except Nath and Lydia. In my opinion, Ng purposely portrays the parents in a negative light, in order to justify the behavior of the children. Ng writes, “That long-ago day, sitting in this very spot on the dock, she had already begun to feel it: how hard it would be to inherit their parents' dreams. How suffocating

Compare and Contrast Essay – Modern Sherlock v. Original Sherlock The Sherlock television series that has been adapted to a modern setting still bears a resemblance to the literary series. In both accounts Sherlock Holmes misunderstands the mores of society and how to respond to them. The similarities in the portrayals of Sherlock are where the differences hide. However, in both versions, Sherlock does not understand feelings of love.

“You Found Me” by the Fray is a very touching song which has gotten me through some tough times. The song was originally written because the lead singer was often left in tough situations with bad things happening to people he cared about. When the song was released, he was having a difficult time with his family and friends and could not seem to make things right. Although I am not in the same situation as the leader singer who wrote this song, I am can still relate to him because it also helped me through difficult times. Despite the fact that many people overlook it, the lyrics “I found God On the corner of First and Amistad.” First and Amistad is a deeper meaning. First Street is often referred to as golden streets heaven, and Amistad was a slave ship which was comparable to hell. This lyric

There are many similarities and differences between the literary version of Sherlock Holmes and the film version of him. There have been several different interpretations of Sherlock Holmes in film, however arguably the most well-known movie version is the 2009 film. While the 2009 movie does an alright job of adapting Arthur Conan Doyle’s formula to the big screen, it fails to fully realize the character of Sherlock Holmes and the many mystery stories he has been in. First, Arthur Conan Doyle’s version of Sherlock Holmes differs from the 2009 film version of Sherlock Holmes by not having a narrator. One of the largest staples of Doyle’s stories was the fact that Dr. Watson was narrating every single story.

Hello everyone, so this is my third vlog and I think I am getting the hang of it. Today, I am going to answer Taylor’s question for this week: How does music impact a movie scene and what would happen if it was different music?

Both shows have relatively the same characters, but the portrayals vary greatly. In the movie, Robert Downey Jr. portrayal of Sherlock was very bland. Sherlock found little to no satisfaction in being a high functioning sociopath with amazing deductive skills. There was no connection with anybody in the movie; he felt nothing for
