By using symbolism as a stylistic feature Gus Van Sant and Denzel Washington are able to successfully present the idea of a personal journey to their intended audiences.

The two main components that hit home and made me feel a wide range of emotions during the film, “Waiting for Superman” are the different uses of logos and music. Logos is the use of statistics, which often made me either very somber or hopeful. Logos is helpful in the making of a film because it gives proof to the audience; instead of saying “test scores improved,” it would make the filmmaker sound more credible if he said “children’s average test scores in math and reading in Kipp Schools jumped from the forty-sixth percentile to the eighty-fourth percentile.” Music is not just in the form of songs; but everywhere you go. Throughout the documentary, a variety of different music choices were played to express the energy in that certain scene. Music is often thought of as a universal language, a language that can build suspense or create a sense of hopefulness or utter despair. It adds the extra potency necessary for ensuring that the audience is not only fully engaged, but also enthralled throughout the film. Guggenheim utilizes logos and music extremely effectively in his documentary as they impel the audience to experience a variety of emotions.

John Williams has composed over one-hundred film scores of which he has received forty-five Academy Award nominations. He has become a household name through his memorable music motifs. These themes capture the essence of the film and as one fan summarized:

He also establishes Pathos. He does this by using these songs that stand for such emotional things in the past and present. He acknowledges the struggle and the sorrow, but also includes the hope that is often viewed in these songs. A hope that, one day, the double-consciousness will

Tim Burton uses cinematic techniques to establish mood. For example, consider the scene in the film Charlie and the chocolate factory, where charlie’s parents give him a chocolate for his birthday. The technique that was used there were dark lighting which made the mood sad when opened the chocolate. Also another technique was used in the film Edward scissorhands, when Edward was on tv and was about to say something. The music that was on making us feel mysterious about the scene. In the film frankenwinnie the technique that was used was dark lighting and the music was sad mood. This was used when sparky died and his owners went to the graveyard and gave their goodbyes to sparky. If the director had not used these techniques, than the film would not be exciting and have us get emotional feelings while watching. Clearly, using these techniques made the film fun to watch.

But behind the camera, Burton’s style of grotesque, yet childlike films are made with a variety of different cinematic techniques.

Hey have you ever noticed some interesting things in Tim burton's movies like how the camera takes shots or the music or lighting in the movies well these are called cinematic techniques, if you notice Tim burton uses many stylistic techniques like shots music and lighting.

He strongly conveys tone and mood in each of these films to keep an audience engaged and sympathetic. Tim Burton uses many cinematic techniques to have an affect on the audience.

Well, there is one scene in particular that changes the mood completely due to the music rhythm and that one scene is when butch and sundance kid are getting chased in Bolivia and the music in the background is so like hyped up. It’s a song that you’d typically hear in a cartoon, I think it made the scene funny and unique. Reason behind that is because think about, they’re getting chased and like the music in the background should be like dramatic, the song they used was just funny. Another scene is when sundance kid and that girl rode the bicycle and then that happy music was playing, if they were just laughing and like talking it would’ve been boring. That happy rhythm changes the mood and puts you in a happy place, makes you think wow that’s

To get the level enjoyment I got out of this film, you really need to be a Kevin Smith fan. Which I really am, having seen all of his films save one. That one being Tusk, the precursor to this film and the first film in the True North trilogy. Though I'm more than aware of its story enough to know that they aren't related. With exception of overlapping characters. So, you can jump right in without missing to much, if really anything at all. I'm not sure what it is about Kevin Smith's writing, but I can always get into his films. No matter how strange and cheesy the plot gets and this one gets plenty of both.

‘Matilda’ is a film that was released in 1996 and directed by Danny DeVito. It is based off of the popular novel by Roald Dahl, who created the evil character, Agatha Trunchbull. Danny DeVito used a variety of lighting techniques, different sounds and music, a rude personality and language, and different camera angles to really illustrate that she is an evil and malicious character. Firstly, the lighting that director Dani DeVito used on Agatha Trunchbull certainly depicts her as a mean and terrifying character.

Pairing themes with a character became a common practice with motion picture music. This is also a common characteristic of the Romantic style. A character could have a personal theme to be performed when entering the scene (Audissino 2014, 25-35). An example of this is Danny Elfman’s 2002, Green Goblin Theme, though it’s not a modernist style of composing, it is an example of pairing a theme with the antagonist of Spider-Man. The approach of using musical ideas as a pairing device to certain
