Snow White And The Huntsman Film Techniques

The Original 1991 Beauty and the Beast movie has many symbols. One of them is Lumière the candle holder. In about half way through the movie Belle goes to the west-wing when it is forbidden. When she enters the beast’s room she sees a flower but right when she was about to touch it the beast comes in and gives a big roar to frighten her off. It is then when she wants to escape and go back home with her father. When she was grabbing her coat to exit you hear her share a small piece of dialogue with the Lumière and Cogsworth. In this dialogue they asked Belle where she is going and she says she can’t be there another minute. With the cold wind coming in from the outside Lumière’s candles extinguish. Showing that the hope to turn back into their

Best-selling author Brandon Sanderson once said, “Sometimes the prize is not worth the costs. The means by which we achieve victory are as important as the victory itself”. Directed by Gary Ross, The Hunger Games explores a dystopian future ruled by a totalitarian government who inflicts fear and control on the Districts through the annual gladiator-like events of The Hunger Games. Through Oscar award-winner Jennifer Lawrence’s portrayal of protagonist Katniss Everdeen, Ross explores the conflict of power between the government and the people, different social classes, and the sacrifices of the people to manipulate the audience’s perspectives on the barbarism of The

The old version of Snow White contains dark and violent stories and harsh elements that were not proper for kids. However, the Snow White that is familiar today is very friendly and well adapted for children. The original story of Snow White is written by the Grimm Brothers in the 19th century at German. In several of the Grimms’ stories, it contains various odd scenes and violent parts. According to the Disney version of Snow White the queen tells the huntsmen to bring the heart of Snow in order to check whether she is dead or not. However, in the Grimm version of Snow White, the queen, which is the witch, sells a corset to Snow and makes her try on the corset and squeeze her by tightening it. Also, in the original version, it is not the prince’s

The role played by the Little Ships during the Operation Dynamo has been heavily mythicized by contemporary accounts of Dunkirk. For instance, a heading in The Times from June 4, 1940 referred to the civilian vessels at Dunkirk as a “Magnificent Spirit”. Furthermore, the column noted how “Fishermen, yachtsmen, yacht-builders, yacht clubs, river boatmen” responded in Britain's time of need and how the civilian sailors “manned their craft with volunteer crews and rushed them to the assembly point”. Similarly, another piece from The Times helped illustrate a sense of mass, spontaneous civilian participation by making reference to how the only complaints people had about volunteering their vessels Dunkirk “came from boat-owners who could not get themselves onboard in time to go to their boats”. Newspapers publishing articles such as the two noted above helped form the public conception of the Little Ships as a mass armada of selfless volunteers who helped rescue countless Allied troops and delivered them to British coastal ports. The pinnacle of this fantasifull narrative was Paul Gallico's short story, The Snow Goose, published in The Saturday Evening Post. Within said novella, the protagonist narrates a romanticized rendition of the Little Ship story where “every tug and fishing boat or power launch that could propel itself was heading across the Channel … to rescue as many as possible from the German fire”. The main driving force behind the British Admiralty's decision to

How can a meager walk in the woods make for an engaging story? Well, in “The White Heron,” the author Sarah Orne Jewett, uses colors, metaphorical application of animals, and a theme questioning if humans can coexist with nature to bring us closer to our main character and her internal dilemma throughout the story.

Money is a green and yellow colour which is commonly associated with corruption and dishonesty. A daisy, the flower in which she is named after, is a gold/yellow centred flower surrounded in white. In much the same way, Tom Hooper(the director) used the colour grey to represent Bertie's gloom as of his stammer and masterfully used fog to further invocate this. Evidently in the mise en scene, when Bertie and Lionel had an argument, Bertie dismissed Lionel and inhibited any more sessions and was seen walking back into the fog and whilst getting smaller and smaller. Also at the end of the film when Bertie performs the most important speech he will ever make, He is triumphant with flying colours and steps out on the balcony with his family and the sky is the clearest it's ever been.

Everyone knows that when the queen discovers that Snow White’s beauty is greater than hers, she asks the huntsman to kill her. Finally, we all know that the dwarves take care of her until her death, at which point the prince comes to the rescue and awakens her with a kiss. These are all elements of the story that we come to expect when we hear the name Snow White.

Aliyah Albrecht Mitchell Period 3 13 December 2017 Cinematic Techniques Tim Burton Style “ Burton was a weird outsider of a kid”. Burton used a lot of the same cinematic techniques in his films. Burton uses close up and lowkey lighting in order to display a feeling of loneliness in his viewers and communicate an overall theme of being alone isn’t always a horrible ting.

Staying true to the traditional tale, the evil queen is in search of eternal youth and beauty and becomes enraged when the magic mirror informs her that Snow White can replace her as “fairest of them all”. The evil queen orders the Huntsman to find Snow White who has escaped her imprisonment from the confines of the castle and dark kingdom. Enthralled by Snow Whites charm and beauty, the Huntsman instead takes on the role of her protector and warrior mentor. Much of the movie is the Huntsman and Snow White’s journey to escape the evil queen and find an army to battle the evil queen to reinstate Snow White to her rightful place on the throne. Don’t worry the beloved dwarfs are a part of this version, though a little rough around the edges, much to the dismay of you Disney fans. Deviating from the original tale, the love interest has been changed. Although, the movie does include a Prince Charming, it is the ruggedly handsome Huntsman who is meant to wake Snow White with his kiss.

Once again Snow White is saved not by her actions or words, but by her looks alone.

Clarification of her beauty is there to aid the reader in understanding that she is good and valuable. Furthermore, her hair not only symbolizes beauty but fertility and sexuality; proving that she is an object. Once she loses her hair, it is evident that she also loses what makes her of value to men, which in this case is the innocence of her untouched beauty or her virginity (pg. 35). In addition, the story “Little Snow-White,” presents an initial description about Snow-white centered around her beauty: “as white as snow, and as red as blood, and her hair was as black as ebony” (pg. 124). Because of this description, the reader defines Snow-white’s importance with the base of her pure white skin, passionate red lips, and seductive black hair. These three characteristics show the value of Snow-White to the prince, who begs the dwarfs for her coffin. While persuading the dwarfs to give over Snow-white, he attempts to trade objects to compensate the dwarfs (pg. 130). To young women, values defined in fairy tales depict a horrid, demeaning view of

Over the years, Snow White’s story has been told in numerous different versions then its original version in 1812 by the Grimm Brothers. The main basis of the story has remained the same. Only a few minor tweaks to the story have changed. The three versions of the story that are going to be analyzed are the original story “Little Snow White” by the Brothers Grimm, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” by Disney, and “Mirror, Mirror” by Disney also. They each were created in very different times and the original story has changed over the years to appeal to the audience of that time. No matter how many versions there are Snow White is considered, one of the most cherished fairy tales of all time. They each use different methods to get their

The queen is so envious of her stepdaughter snow white’s beauty, so she tries to disguise it by making her dress in rags and works as a house cleaner. “Is interpersonally explorative and lack of empathy”. The queen exploits her workers, the huntsman, by ordering that he should kill snow white and prove it by returning her heart to her.

The stars glitter coldly, the frozen lake shines icily, the Queen looks on regally. Her hair is a star-filled night dotted with grey; her eyes are a cool, azure blue. A gleaming, nefarious smile lingers on her tightly drawn lips.

During the time period, there was a reoccurring motif in films involving a heroine where she would take refuge in a remote setting to escape the evil hands of the villain. Disney used this popular motif in having Snow White settle
