Over Your Dead Body

I felt like this was a good break from the sadness taken on by the audience from the depth of the sister. The play then goes on to show us that this guy is the leader of a game called Dungeons and Dragons played by the dead sister. To try and understand more about her sister the cheerleader plays the game. At first she thinks it is dumb, but then the audience is shown a first person view of the game through the eyes of the cheerleader as she lives through her character. The audience is then introduced to the friends of the dead sister, but not as real people. Rather, they are introduced through the characters in the game. As the story progresses we find out that the game is based on the geek's diary. This turns out to be important because it reveals important information to the cheerleader about her sister. One of these important details is the fact that her sister might have actually been homosexual. Information like this really gets the audience thinking about how time has changed

The film carries a consistent mise-en-scene. It adds to the filthy, disheartening, and generally rough feeling that is intended to be received when watching

Stand by me directed by Rob Reiner is based on Stephen King’s novella “the Body”. Released in 1986 this coming of age drama tells the adventures of four neighborhood friends as they travel the countryside of Oregon to find a dead body in search of fame and notoriety. Aristotle’s elements shines throughout the film and in my opinion the director nails every key element. The point of view is unique and wonderfully told, the plot is simple and easy to follow and the characters are likeable, easy to relate and honestly depicted.

When he gets done with the call after he finds out hes dead, he freezes. After he get done with the call, the whole mood of the story changes, it goes from going on a journey to seeing the hitchhiker and then founding out your dead. The mood changed throughout the story and that’s how Fletcher wanted it go. After realizing hes dead, hes sees the ghost. Seeing the ghost seeing ghost and try to found out who he is. The realization of his death he wants to seek out to find who the mysterious man is who’s been following him everywhere and how his journey changed from California has changed to journey of searching who the man is. He’s finding out who hitchhiker is but he also needs to find out who he is. Trying to find out who he is, after finding out he’s dead, he doesn’t know who is any more like he’s just a ghost now, and he don’t what to do anymore and he just needs find out who he is. Fletcher uses these many elements for this play to be

To begin with, in my opinion Tim Burton’s movie produced by Dream Works, Corpse Bride is a dark and interesting movie with a well set up setting. During Burtons unique interesting film he used costuming as a way to build great character. As everyone should expect since it’s a Tim Burton film, the characters had a spooky type of look and a dark presence considering they were dead. As most of the characters in this film had a nasty and negative attitude and perspective on everything going on and in their life in general, Victor and Victoria (Johnny Depp and Emily Watson) had a more of a positive and fun/curious outlook on life even when others didn’t or kept them from being who they want to be. The way Burton set up this story of 2 lovers is interesting and a fun thing to watch and entertain you for all ages. The way Burton used his setting could have an effect on younger readers or watchers making them feel scared and or interested.

I compared Act One, Scene 2, in the play and the film. The setting in the play is on a Saturday morning, and house cleaning is in process at the Youngers. In the film, the setting is the same as play, with lighting and costumes. The plot in the play is when Mrs. Younger gets the insurance check of $10,000. In the film, the plot is the same, but includes music not mentioned in the play. The dialogue in the film has some deletions from the original text, with new dialogue added throughout the scene.

This story is a tale of the unexpected and the main way it is achieved is by making the build up to the climax of the death seem so normal. I would not expect a happy married couple, in a warm, cozy house, to be the setting for such an evil, thrilling murder to take

To take this sub-plot out would have left the reader/audience with many questions, especially in Shakespeare’s time. People would wonder if the ghost was of good intent, and if Hamlet was wise in revenging his father.

The playwright was trying to get quite a few messages when he created this play. First of all, I believe he was trying to show social change and the power and potential that an individual has inside of them, despite their circumstances. I think that this play/movie reveals the true messiness of life and how with the right mindset, you can make it through anything you

This movie was well dialogues. The play writer told the story of Peter Ward with such finesse. The writer was attempting to share with his audience. Peter Ward was a man that was being held in a mental health facility. The Criminal Justice Department was unable to charge him with the murders of his wife and two children.

Each of these significant events are mental, however, they create emotions within the play and audience without using external action. After Hamlet talks with the ghost, he vows to take revenge for his dead father. This scene creates excitement for the audience because it makes them understand what the play will be centered on. At this point in the play, the audience gets to wonder and theorize why King Claudius killed Hamlet's father. There is also a sense of wonder as the audience

This was one of the most interesting ten minute plays I've ever read. It starts as a comedy but turns into a terrifying endless ending for more “victims” to come. This play was effective because it changes the readers representation and perception of joy to horrified. Mr. Reardon did a tremendous job, and also the description of the cave and setting every time

Each included an actor or actress portraying a child who had trouble falling asleep because of a “monster” scaring them and preventing them from falling asleep. One of the actor’s movements that I thought was very motivated was when the kid with the closet monster jumped back when he saw the monster. I could tell that it was motivated because he seemed genuinely scared of the monster. In my opinion, the play was well written since it clearly showed the plotline and the stories flowed very well. The playwright’s main message was that things that seem intimidating are not as bad as they seem. All in all, the play had three major conflicts and the message of the play was that things that appear frightening are not as scary as they

What do you get when you have a ghost, a moody thirty year old and an evil stepfather? A family reunion. A normal family? No, this is a Shakespearean tragedy, you're not getting any of that “family love” instead we get issues of incest and revenge, both which might be taking familial bond a bit too far. The dominant theme of madness in Shakespeare’s Hamlet is revealed through the conflict of concealing vs. revealing, especially when considering how Hamlet hides behind a mask of madness,

Only to their disappointment it is only candle wax. Also the black and white faces of the characters make the people seem cold. This ensures that you do not feel anything for the characters even if one of them was brutally decapitated. Another problem I had with this movie was setting. ‘The Nightmare before Christmas’, ‘The Corpse Bride’, ‘Ed Wood’, ‘Sleepy Hollow’, and ‘Planet of the Apes’ are all movies directed by Tim Burton. They are all set mostly in the woods and are all mostly seen as creepy horror movies. In ‘Sleepy Hollow’ Tim Burton again uses ideas from his old movies to try and pin point the audiences needs. Only this backfires and makes his movie seem repetitive and very ordinary. You start to predict what will happen as soon as you have seen the headless horseman appear time and time again from the tacky fog that surrounds the woods.
