Loreak And Alone Time Summary

Solitude, which has played an important role in people’s lives throughout history, is quickly being erased by the changing world and advancing technology. People no longer value solitude, and some people fear it. This claim is argued by William Deresiewicz in his essay, “The End of Solitude.” In recent years technology has developed at rates never seen before. Deresiewicz wants to inform society about how this change in technology has brought about the end of solitude, which has had negative effects on younger generations. By his use of high-level vocabulary and references, the intended audience of the essay is the educated members of modern society. Deresiewicz uses the rhetorical appeal strategies of ethos, logos, and pathos in the essay to effectively and successfully argue his main claim.

Music added to this film. French music and classical music was played in the background. At no time was there any lyrics to the songs being played. I think this was advantageous as the camera angles captured the emotion of Antoine and other characters. Also the scene itself often in Paris was full of hustle and bustle. It’s a big city so the city sounds where heard. Thus music with lyrics were not needed. I think the final scene is a great scene. This scene is of Antoine running away for the last time going to the ocean. Quiet and unique percussion music was being played as he was running towards the ocean.

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

We lost the ability to be still, our capacity for idleness. They have lost the ability to be alone, their capacity for solitude. (The end of solitude, pg.4)

He is able to use these parts to manipulate the audience’s emotions. The music playing from the car is an on-screen sound. As the man gets attacked, the volume increases. The sound helps intensify the scene that has been created by the film’s visual elements. The audience then subconsciously forms ideas, opinions, and feelings about what they are seeing. The viewers develop scared feelings as the scene intensifies to the happy upbeat tune. The increasing volume of the cheery song reflects the violence and the sinisterness of the scene. The song stops with the slamming of the car’s driver-side door as the man is abducted. There is a moment of silence and then a new song abruptly entered the silent scene. The music is non-diegetic and is an offscreen sound. The song is screechy, high pitched, and jagged sounding at first, continuing the anxious and scared mood. The song shifts into a sort of soulful hymn. The tone shifts along with the song. The audience begins to feel relieved and relaxes to the peaceful song.

The short story The Lonesome Place was written by August Derleth. It is a Gothic tale, which deals with ambiguity over the supernaturalism, an unreliable narrator, an inner-monster, and a gloom spreading over an otherwise safe small town, about two lonely boys with an uncanny and forceful imagination that turns their and other people’s lives upside down.

Additionally, in several night scenes, Lachman used long shot to shoot the whole windows in the eye-level only with the lighting from the rooms. This technique produced a circumstance that audiences are standing outside of the building seeing peeking what these people are doing. The window frames look like interval between characters. Dividing them visualizes the inner difference of characters. They are in the same genre of people. In the party of Harge’s parents, Carol smokes outsides and Jeanette steps in. The window frames separated Carol and Jeanette generating a boundary between them. Also in the scene that Therese and Danny are at the office of Time magazine, Lachman used the same cinematography method creating distances between two characters.

In the short yet complex work “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin, readers see a woman who goes through a complete spectrum of emotions in the short span of an hour. When the main character learns that her husband is dead, like most, she is shocked and utterly filled with grief. As the story continues, a dramatic change takes place within the mind of the main character, Louise. Upon the conclusion of her natural, wifely grief, she realizes that she is finally out from under the grasp of her husband and is now a free woman in a time when men dominated life at home and the goings on of society. Through his death, Louise finds the opportunity to be born again. Many of the emotions that the main character goes through are depicted through the imagery of her constantly changing environment, and the author specifically uses the architecture of her home as a main tool. In the story, the use of visual imagery projects the rise and fall of the main character as her life transitions quickly back and forth. Through an analysis of her characterization, these changes ultimately prove too much for her to handle. In Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour,” a character analysis can be performed based on the changes in her environment compared to the changes in her life situation. The layout of the world around Louise is used to show her initial grief, sudden realization of freedom, and her gateway to a new life free from oppression of men.

The final scenes are equally important. When Ladislao is shot, he is in the front but is blurred. Camila, who is in the back, is in sharper focus. This emphasizes her pain and helplessness. The dimmer lighting of the whole scene creates a more somber mood. Finally, they are laid

The book closes where it starts, with Ari's own small family coming back to England for a get-away. Ari stands out Israel from England, the free for all and steady interruption of the previous and the serenity and congruity of the last mentioned. In doing as such, he rehashes his affection for dichotomous polar resistances which contribute such a significant amount to the book's hyperbolic quality. Ari's proposal that the consistent turmoil clarifies the essentialness, vitality, and innovativeness of Israelis who live on the edge. Israel is unquestionably an energizing nation with more than its offer of energizing and volatile individuals. So for what reason did Ari's progenitors who were prosperous and entrenched and who appreciated the products of British monetary

Another aspect of sound in this film was how it affected the story. By using sound dramatically in certain parts and not using it at all in other parts, sound gave this story an entity of its own. For example, during long stretches of film with mostly dialogue, there was no music played in the background, only a phone ringing in the distance, or the men's voices during their deliberation. These long silences also took place during editing shots of the town and images that surrounded this German city. This dramatic difference in sound was a revelation of how mood can be made by images and sound put together to make an incredible component.

Sound is another element utilised in Life is Beautiful. Roberto Benigni uses both diegetic and non-diegetic sound in a scene to emphasize the effect of acting, and to create an atmosphere appropriate for the situation. An example is when Guido talks to Dora on the loudspeaker (1:14:33-1:16:51). Slow non-diegetic music plays as Dora sorts out clothes beforehand. She seems to be moving slowly and sluggishly in a dreamlike fashion, almost as if the situation is too bizarre to comprehend. The music further impresses this onto the audience not only through the slow pacing, but also by using an unusual, alien sounding piano melody. The next scene sets up for what is coming, by

The next shot is an establishing shot, showing the street where the main character, Leister, lives. Its fall/autumn time and the trees are bare or dying, possibly indicating and foreshadowing a death later on in the movie. Also the streets are very linear, all vertical and in uniform, as it were.

Choosing the soundtrack for a movie is another difficult task that a director has to do because they have to find a perfect song or an instrumental track that will fit or compliment the scene that they are editing. The soundtrack of a movie is also a guaranteed way of effecting the emotions of the audience members. As a result, directors spend a great deal of time in choosing the right soundtrack for the movie. They want to make sure that they target the correct emotions for each scene. The sequence of “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” featured many different sounds; such as, speech, music and sound effects.

Under the direction of the Wells-Toland team, the film would take on subtle, yet significant differences from the very beginning. In the opening scene, with Songolian and her stepmother, the focus of the camera would still be a medium close up of Songolian; but, the previously unseen mother would now be seen in the extreme
