This paper presents analysis of five movies and the analysis of every movie examined various aspects film form which range from visual design, literary design, editing, cinematography and sound design. First and foremost, we have the Lemon Movie which was produced by Hollis Frampton in 1969. In general, this movie is a silent movie and it has no sound at all. The Lemon Movie seems to be an experimental movie that was performed by having a static lemon. It is an ostensibly a one short film that represents a radical pairing of materials and methods. It gives a portrait of a superstar fruit which begins to show up in darkness before it gradually comes into sight. From the movie, we learn of how important light can be. It is however difficult to learn the flow of the movie since things seem not changing except for gradual process of coming to light then disappearing. The most interesting thing in this movie is how the lemon changes its outlook when the light comes and disappears.

Pulp Fiction is a black comedy, and crime movie that was written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. The movie features graphic violence, drugs, and a mysterious briefcase. Pulp Fiction tells several stories in a nonlinear way, meaning that the narratives are not told in a chronological order and do not follow the rules of space and time.

Pulp fiction, a modern day legacy of a film was written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, in 1994. It first premiered at the Cannes Film Festival to surprisingly rave reviews. The films approach is atypical; it is a choppy set of scenes that create a connection of characters that is far from the traditional chronological Hollywood story line. The plot is uniquely arranged, around and between the ideas of revenge and redemption which best fit the Independent Film category due to the combination of genres it reaches including: comedy, (indie), thriller, crime, gangster, black comedy, and drama. The twisty way the movie unfolds brings forth the elements of romance, vulgarity, violence and humor in a way that is so surreal it keeps viewers entertained and wanting to keep watching like a bad Jerry Springer Episode. No matter how bizarre or disturbing the films reviews were, it happened to be deemed the first independent film to gross more than $200 million dollars,
