Technicolor Movie Research Paper

The film industry has gone through many different eras and genres, but one of the most significant in all of the industry’s history was film noir. Film noir is not necessarily a type of genre but rather a tone that branched off from the crime/gangster sags of the 1930’s. It has certain elements such as crime, sex, greed, and violence that are supposed to represent the same type of evils found in society. As any noir film, Double Indemnity also contains a moral conflict at the base of its plot. Film noir is generally defined as a dark, suspenseful thriller with a plot-line revolving around crime or mystery. Film noir gained more recognition after World War II. Particularly because Hollywood thrillers were been watched in French cinemas. The idea of film noir

Recently while watching two old film classics, Vertigo and Notorious, I found myself thinking of other movies directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Most of his movies have many things in common, while remaining completely independent of each other. These two films have different plots, actors, and most obvious one is filmed in color the other black and white. Which leads me to believe that Alfred Hitchcock really knew what he was about; as a result his films all a have a distinctive theme about them. Both films keep you in a state of anticipation as the stories unfold and reveal the twist and turns that Alfred Hitchcock was famous for. Notorious was written in 1946 a year after World War II came to an end and the

The use of colour in films during present time is often taken for granted. Colour is a factor modern audiences almost expect however, often filmmakers use colour creatively to convey a message. Throughout the 1920s to 1930s colour in films became highly popular. This essay will explore how Pleasantville has creatively used colour to represent America during the 1950s.

As a society, there is a lot of excitement placed upon horror and horror films; ask anybody and they could recall what the first horror movie they saw was and when they saw it. In fact, there were 753 horror films release in 2015 alone. However, during the 1950s, there were only approximately 244 or so horror films released throughout the whole decade. During the 1960s, that number nearly doubled from 244 to 517 (“Letterboxd”).

According to the text, education is defined as the social institution responsible for the systematic transmission of knowledge, skills, and cultural values within a formally organized structure (Kendall, p. 462). Every human has a right to an education. Despite this definition, evidence of inequality based on race, class, and gender can be seen in the system despite good intentions to promote awareness of and appreciation for cultural differences.

1st Draft Movies are a big part of everyday life. Millions of Americans go to the movies every week. Have you ever stopped to think about what movies used to be like, or how movies became what they are today? All of that can be traced back to the 1930’s.

The beginning of the opening credits is almost the same of the other movies that we have watched in the class, but what makes the beginning of this film famous is the attack of bandits on the village.

Alfred Hitchcock was an British Hollywood director that made films from the 1920’s to the 1970’s. He is known as “The Master Of Suspense”

The colourist I have chosen is Yvan Lucus. Born on May 7,1960 in Cholet, Maine & Loire, France, the movies that he has been involved with are among some of the best to date so far. These include The Runaways(2010 film of the all female rockband known by the same name), Shutter Island(2010 psychological thriller about a U.S. Marshal who investigates a psychiatric facility), Water For Elephants(2011 romantic drama), War Horse (2011 war drama about a boy and the bond between his horse and the war that was tearing through each nation), Snow White and the Huntsman(2012 fantasy adventure based on the novel of the well known fairytale), Django Unchained(2012 western about the crimes of the time and slavery), Argo(2012 political thriller about the Iran hostage crisis), The Hunger Games: Catching Fire(2013 sci-fi adventure about a mass fight to the death... for the second time) and Now You See Me(2013 caper thriller about magicians pulling big heists) and his latest grade being American Hustle(2013 crime comedy-drama about con men trying to frame congress men for taking bribes). Yvan Lucas is not a very well documented colorist however he does hold quite an impressive resume that shows he is a pretty well sort after color grader. His newly graded movie, Maleficent also fits my theme as it is highly accentuated through the use of black and making the black pop on the main character, showing what a hectic character she actually is.

Soon after during the early 1930’s, the Technicolor Motion Picture Corporation released their three-color Technicolor technology. This color process needed a unique camera that split the image into three different strips of film. Then red, blue, and green filters were used to station the light to the corresponding filter, once the recording was done the strips were then developed and combined into a single color strip which was played through a projector. Technicolor introduced a whole new aspect in filmmaking. The filmmaker could provide more information to the viewer about the setting and establish a scene with the use of color. A film, that shows a great example of the use of Technicolor, was The Wizard of Oz that was released in 1939 (The

The film The Field (1990) was shot in Technicolor, with an aspect ratio of 1.85: 1. The movie lasts a duration of 1 hour and 57 minuets. The film first aired in Canada in September of 1990, it also aired in Ireland at the same time. It then aired in America on December 20th 1990, and the UK in February. I think it is something to note that the movie made its debut in Ireland before it came to America. When the movie aired in America it made around $1,414,017 at the box office. The Field was filmed over the duration of only three months, and this could be why so many of the critics did not like the movie. Lastly the movie itself was filmed in Ireland to give it a more authentic feel, and to showcase the land that was

Have you ever went to a 3D movie, in the 2000’s and looked at the screen with no glasses, And the screen was red and blue. Also those glasses hurt your ears if you put them on for a long time. It is time to explain how they work.

The style of edit for this sequence and entire film is continuity editing which produces a logical and straightforward narrative. The sequence begins with an establishing shot of the city road setting, orienting the viewer. The editing follows real-time human experiences, for example, the Tramp enters the paddy wagon then it cuts to him sitting down on the benches with the rest of the convicted, minimizing the perception of breaks between cuts (invisible editing).

The animated films of the 1930s and 1940s definitely took advantage of the new Technicolor process. For Disney in particular, it was the only colour process that he felt worked for his films (Telotte 48). Especially since the idea of animated films as feature films was relatively new at the time, there was a necessity for the differentiation of Disney’s films to live-action films so that animated films could be taken seriously. Disney used Technicolor to do just that (Telotte 48). Another, arguably more important reason for the use of colour in the animated films was the “still-developing Disney illusion-of-life aesthetic” (Telotte 48). The colours of the films were used to help portray a natural-looking world, one that would be believable to the viewer despite being animation. Higgins discusses that the preferred Disney aesthetic was that “artists favored pastels and saved strongly saturated hues for accents. Backgrounds were kept desaturated and cool to assure that the main characters would have chromatic prominence […] Disney artists were adept at coordinating color and drama,” (“Order and Plenitude” 299). Even though they preferred to keep it natural, the animators were able to experiment with Technicolour more than the colour directors of live-action films were. As discussed by Francine Stock, “…colour in both setting and lighting could accentuate mood or character – without aping reality,” (83-4). An example of one of these films that Disney was able to experiment with
