Star Wars : A New Hope

A character’s costume is much more than the clothes they wear to play a part. These clothes help us venture into the author’s world and help us connect with this new place and believe in its reality. They help us capture so much more than what the character looks like. We are able to see, feel, and experience the characters personality and purpose in the story. In a play or movie, we immediately make our fist connection with a character based on what they are wearing, this is the first step in drawing us in and making us believe in this new world. This first impression gives us the first glimpse at the characters style, background, and social class. All of these things are meant to immediately draw us in.

Role of music in Hollywood films has come of age as a complex and sophisticated site of cinematographic art. Greater combinations of sounds expressing a wider spectrum of tones, textures, and volumes can be heard at the movies more than ever before. Moreover, this era has witnessed an increase of different artistic and professional approaches to sound. Since the start of the Hollywood film industry, music has played a great role in the success of Hollywood films. Star Wars: A New Hope, commonly considered one of the greatest films of all time, launched the space era craze backed by lovely and memorable music. John Williams created the musical score of Star Wars, reviving the grand symphonic scores from the early film era with the leitmotif inspired by the works of Wagner and Steiner. Star Wars: A New Hope is a film with a successful storyline, inspiring characters, and amazing visual presentation with an unforgettable musical score. The musical score of Star Wars returns to the basic features of classical film score with the use of a symphony orchestra, postromantic musical style, wall-to-wall scoring, and thematic transformation.

Indeed, they are used to add to the aesthetics of the scene; but it can be argued that the colours of these costumes have somewhat of a significance. We notice that Broken Sword and Flying Snow are both dressed in blue garments, whereas Nameless is dressed in black. In China, the colour blue can suggest calmness- once again, referring to the peaceful and serene mourning of Flying Snow’s death. Nameless, dressed in black, expresses a certain mystery surrounding his persona, as Chinese culture suggests that black represents secrecy, something that is happening in the

When looking at the 1999 film Titus, it is important for the audience to examine the costuming choices made by director Julie Taymor. These choice are not only indicative of the setting and plot, but the costumes also reveal symbolic information about the characters. More specifically, when looking at the characters of Chiron and Demetrius, it is evident that Taymor made a variety of intriguing decisions in regards to their costumes. Demetrius and Chiron’s costumes were symbolic of barbarism, and they also illustrated the animalistic qualities demonstrated by the monstrous brothers throughout.

The costumes resembled a traditional idea of Death of a Salesman costumes, but with a twist. Willy wore a white collared shirt but the upper sleeves were ripped off, so when he was wearing his blazer during the flashbacks you could not see the missing sleeves. Linda wore a outfits resembling a maid or a housewife. Both Linda and Willy wore masks when they acted in present time to create a separation from the audience and the appearance of old age. Biff is the only character who wears shoes, does not wear a mask, and is not completely represented by an object.

The creator and director of Star Wars, George Lucas, was incredibly successful for his movie series, but even more successful for its overall purpose: to sell toys to ten-year old boys. The use of ethos, pathos, and logos are very abundant in this movie. Ethos, Greek for “character”, is anything referring to or relying on the author’s credibility. Pathos, Greek for “emotional”, is anything that makes you feel emotion. Logos, Greek for “word”, is anything that makes you think. By using these he was able to persuade the audience into thinking, feeling, and loving Star Wars, making the audience want to purchase figurines.

The examining use of color within Princess Mononoke establishes the social roles of the characters within their respective societies. The costumes worn by the characters, is the most integral aspect of the story as the clothing is representative of the intentions of the characters, which is mostly seen in Lady Eboshi’s attire. Firstly, Lady Eboshi is represented wearing

External influences may guide an individual towards their destiny, but only the person themselves can attain their full potential once they believe in their own ability to succeed. As American positivist author Norman Vincent Peale once said, “Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy” (Brainy Quote). This can be seen in George Lucas’ Star Wars IV: A New Hope, the protagonist, Luke Skywalker, is an isolated young farmer on the planet Tatooine who is propelled in an unexpected mission to save the Rebel Alliance Leader, Princess Leia, as they struggle to defeat the Galactic Empire. To that effect, when analyzing George Lucas’ film from a Jungian psychoanalytic perspective, Luke is the main character

As the performance goes on, the costume design represents where our characters are at in their timeline. While, in the first act, the characters are dressed in stereotypical post-apocalyptic attire, it does vary in from what we are presented in the last two acts. Around the campfire, the characters are dressed in

Star Wars: Return of the Jedi is final chapter in an epic story of good versus evil. The script was written by George Lucas and was released in theatres on May 25, 1983 (IMDb.com). It was the third film released in the Star Wars saga, following Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope and Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (IMDb.com). At the time, Episode VI concluded the story of Luke Skywalker and his Rebel friends fighting against Darth Vader and the evil Empire.

Star Wars: A New Hope, brought forth a diversification in the industry of not just a science fiction film, but a contemporary aspect of film in the late 1900’s. On the 25th of May 1977 George Lucas released a two hour journey through a dreamlike universe in which this exceptional exploration takes place. Star Wars fabricated the start of the science fiction film era. Science fiction provides an incogitable world that alters the thoughts of general world, and offers a chance for the reader or viewer to relate the altered world to their world. Star Wars offered this to dreamers of that time and bestowed a escape from reality on its viewers. This is illustrated when ¨Luke¨ played by Mark Hamill takes his first steps into a truly legendary expedition across the galactic universe. Luke is not alone on his dangersome journey along the way he finds his Mentor ¨Obi-Wan Kenobi¨ played by the ingenious actor Alec Guinness. Luke´s journey across the galaxy is distinctly related to The Hero Cycle, composed by Joseph Campbell. The Hero Cycle explains the events in which a character grows into a hero and fights their way through a fatal battle all to obtain elixir or experience. In this essay I will illustrate how Star Wars: A New Hope relates to The Hero Cycle.

Costume designers begin delivering the idea of the writer by setting up the time period, location, social class of characters,as well as stating who is the main characters who tend to wear the most extravagant clothing. The costumes tell audience that this character is of this social class from this age in this type of society. For example, Nora would wear the most extravagant dress compared to Kristine in order to show that Nora is the main character. Similarity, the students of Fermi High would wear attire that shows a 50 style school kid attire, while Jonny with his famous black leather jacket shows his bad boy main character attributes. Both in a play and musical the set designer plays a role in the delivery of the time era and place of these specific events. Set designer has to create the inside of Nora's house, which shows a realistic house, while also creating the design of a high school in the 50s. The main difference is in Zombie Prom is that they were many shift of scene from a high school to a radio talk show to a high school prom. A musical uses changes of background in order to give it more liviness and energy and may even shift the background during a musical number to give a sense of wonder to the audience, while a play will keep the stage the same because plays use stage to set the time and space giving it a realistic attribute, but not part of

Nelly was change her look 5 times and this tell us to thing about action contrast in her magical improvisation. We see her as a mature lady and sopile girl in the beach, a mother of Emile 's children and nurse in the station. All the costums disingns were in the function of characters and play a role to be more real for the 1942-1943 the years when the story takes time. Emile look like a Freanchman with charm and fines. Also the navy soldiers with their costums are in function and tell us when they are in free time, in the service or in battle. On the other hands the costuns descripe the characters with creative standart of U.S national. The colore of the cloths are white, browen and beach coleres that are allowed to ware navy, and the persons who goes in the beach.

1. Imagine you are designing the costume for the Tin Man. What advantages and disadvantages does the costume in the film have? (Consider aspects such as mobility, realism, artistic intent, and so on.) Would you make any changes to the costume for a theater production? Why or why not? If i were to design a costume for the tin man, some advantages would be price, and portability, but some of the disadvantaged would be the way it may reflect light and also if it's comfortable for the one who wears it.

Each outfit gave the characters a second skin that helped the actors tell their character's story. The only costumes I questioned were the veterinarian's bag and the jugglers outfit. The vet's bag looked more like a Marry Poppins carpet bag, and I could not really tell who the character was when he walked out on stage for the first time. The outfit of the juggler (played by Vanessa Killian) seem to be the most modern piece of clothing. Her blue and sliver half sleeves dress did not seem to match the area of everyone's else costumes but did work for her
