The emotions and themes in the music of are always clear. They point out the importance of happiness, joy and victory as a source of optimism and show the sadness, fear and anger during the films darkest times. The music of the Star Wars universe has allowed audiences to experience good and evil through deeper, darker tones for evil and lighter, robust notes for good.

Music proves how important it is to film and can have a lasting effect on how we feel about a

This is not location, although it involves the location. As B&T say, it involves the organisation of shape, textures, and patterns of light and dark. But more than this, in SF film screen space is often a fundamental element of the narrative. Space is an element that is constructed, that takes on character in film, for example, in BLADE RUNNER. It is the construction of elements within a space, within a frame that is important.

After the famous intro “a galaxy far far away” the movie does not hesitate to start things off fast, setting you right in the middle of a intergalactic space battle from the point of view of our two favorite characters, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. The action filled scenes of the movie proves to be most prominent of the time, using CGI to their fullest ability. CGI allows the movie choreographer to enhance movie scenes, boosting the overall reality and intensity. The final duel between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan shows off the great use of special effects, including a hellish planet theme for the audience. The performance shows off high quality light saber fights, breaking down facilities over a river of lava, over a river of lava and falling objects from all over leading into a great lava fall. The movie expands over a variety of worlds such as the breathtaking city of Coruscant, the green natural world of the Wookies, the hell world of Mustafar and many more. The great use of technology gives me more than a satisfying feeling when compared to it’s

Since I was 4 years old, Star Wars has been an active force in my life. What began as a method of entertainment grew into something that shaped how I view the world. At a first glance, Star Wars is simply the story of a farmer-boy given a quest to save the galaxy. From an analytical and historical perspective, it is so much more. Despite the general resentment for the “prequel” movies, the movies have redeeming values in terms of symbolism.

Another interesting use of camera cutting can be found in the in between scene where Cleo is roaming the streets of Paris. She is now becoming the one watching other people rather than being the one watched as she was in the beginning (probably because of her beauty and famous singer status). While she is watching the camera cuts between other people’s conversations and then while she is walking the camera is in essence her point of view. However during this walk, the people passing are watching her as well, thus proving that this is the transition time. The use of cutting between shots of her and shots of all these people passing her not only show this change in who is watching who, but also allows for a sense of time passing. Interspersed with these shots are images of people we have already met, the widow, the boyfriend, the piano player, as well as the images of a monkey resting on a clock and her wig resting on the mirror, these things conveying how the people who know her see her and how she sees herself. This is a genius montage because these two things represent the same thing, how people see her, how she sees people, and how she sees herself, and by interspersing them we see

Motion Pictures have always had a strong influence in today’s culture, but maybe none as prevalent as Star Wars. Originating with Episode 4 A New Hope, the series boomed from 1977 to 2005 with yet another addition coming in 2015. The strongest of the series was the original trilogy episodes 4, 5, and 6, all generally released in the 1980s. As one of the strongest film francaises still today, it’s impact within the 1980s was only the tip of the iceberg. Children and adults alike still anticipate the new edition of this seemingly endless journey. If any singular film series still holds prevalence in its future decades it is Star Wars: Original Trilogy.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away the first Star Wars film series came into the spotlight. The Star Wars franchise has been popular since it first came to theatres in 1977. Many people of all ages enjoy the story and the meanings behind it. To this day, teenagers are still fascinated with this film series.

With such an intricate and popular film like the Star Wars films, discussing the plot, characters, theme, and visual effects are ideas that critics Matthew Panzarino and Nick Pinkerton find important.

The soldier and Szpilman are seen to be quite near to each other in the middle of the frame. As he holds open the door the camera zooms into them, which adds tension to the scene. Szpilman is seen here to be in darkness as if he just blends into the shadows of nothing. However the solider is seen clearly to

The shot transitions are cuts which maintain the flow of the narrative and the character’s actions.

The sequence continues to increase in intensity as a fast tracking shot is present to keep up with the running horse, the accompaniment used becomes faster and is frequently interrupted by the sounds of explosions. Pro-filmic elements again are present and work alongside the tracking shot to increase the intensity, an example being the lighting within the trench which is barely visible with the flash of explosions being the biggest source of light. It isn’t until Joey begins to run towards the other trench that the hero becomes entangled in barbed wire and the climax ends. In contrast to the medium, long and tracking shots previous to this an extreme close up is present during the end of this sequence. After Joey’s struggle to get out of the wire an extreme close up of his eye is used, its spectators see the fear and sorrow within his eyes. Joey is laid powerless and weak, and is in need of a human support in order to survive. The accompaniment has now stopped leaving Joey alone in silence, there is limited use of lighting and dull colours are present, each factor directly influencing the
