Techniques In Yojimbo

The artistry of La La Land comes not only from the magnificent story or acting, but also the stunning score and cinematography, both of which are some of the most beautiful in years. The film uses color in a way that bests any movie in recent memory. It paints L.A as a vibrant, exuberant city full of color and lights and does not feature one frame that lacks a beautiful picture. The score by Justin Hurwitz is upbeat, heartbreaking, and magical all at the same time. The film would not have near the same emotional impact without the score, and it has the best use of music of any recent film. The two top moments in the film, Emma Stone's "Audition" scene and the epilogue, both rely on the score to extract all of our emotions in a way only the greatest of films can do. Because of its ability to be excellent in all phases of film, evoke emotion,

This film did transitions amazingly every time a there was a major change in the plot. The audience hears a female singing in a film with almost no music at all. This really help the audience see that some major change is happening. And on the topic of transitions/ camera work. A lot of the transitions are very creative for example one of the shots was shot through a mirror in the set piece showing the characters. This was really cool seeing it show that Clooney is actually putting in effort to plan his scenes and working with his

Another reason for why Labyrinth is another example of an excellent cinematography is because of the music which determined how or what the mood of the scene was whether the scene was happy, sad, or scary. The music also helped with telling a story of the story of the main character to find her brother which had been taken from the goblin king that fateful night. Music is a way to help viewers see what the mood is in the scene which makes it easier for people. Music was good to have in the Labyrinth because it meant when there were other effects it would match how the character was feeling or what was happening because it is better for everything to match up.

The success of the brothers not just as as film producers, but also editors, writers, and directors is beyond impressive. A massive part of their success can be attributed to their effectiveness in their employment of dramatic and cinematography tools, one of which is music. The films that the brothers have produced since their debut in the early 1980s are consistent with the sensitivity in which music and sound is heavily is utilized, making the films and unique come alive, while ensuring that the audience remains entertained. Their efficient use of music also ensures that the audience does not get bored with the film since there is minimal monotony in most of their films. Another factor that has contributed to their success in the movie industry is their unpredictability that makes it hard for the viewers to predict the next occurrence or scene in their movies. The unpredictability is also evident in their use of music all over their films. All in all, the films produced by the Coen brothers are often carefully crafted and designed not only for the maximum entertainment of the viewers but also the effective communication and relay of the core message. It is easy to dismiss the immense importance of music and sound in a film, but watching movies by the Coen brothers greatly proves one otherwise. It is beyond evident that music is a fundamental aspect that all

Although not commonly thought of or considered, Kurosawa used a large amount of artificial lighting and dramatic scenery to create effects that he wanted to portray. Without these, Kurosawa would not have been able create the effect that he did during the film. The Yakuza clan was a group that although well-known and feared, did much of their organized crime under the radar and out of sight of authorities. The scene following their crime was often a trail of destruction. Kurosawa decided to satire this with his use of artificial light and dramatic scenic settings. Kurosawa used artificial light to bring the events of the Yakuza clan to light. Since most of the crime done by then is in the dark or undercover, Kurosawa added humor by adding light to everything and thus removing the stealth factor the Yakuza clan always operated by. To further satire them, Kurosawa showed that events that occurred in daylights could often end in incredibly pathetic manners. The best instance of this is in the beginning of the film after Sanjuro decides he will leave Seibei and simply watch the fight between the two gangs. The two gangs nervously edge

The audio although normally overpowered by the visual aspect played a key role in defining and empowering the movie. The music was fast and uplifting during celebration and on

Howard Shore really wove something magical into the score, which raises the film's impact on the viewer tremendously. He used music as a very intense and emotional language, which allows the viewers' hearts to pound with fear, to smile with joy or to barely suppress their tears in a mournful moment. Therefore you can say that the movie wouldn't be as half as emotional without this brilliant piece of audible

Music is a major part in the movie for it creates a mood and emotion that is directed at the characters/ audience to let you know what emotions you should be feeling, for example at the start of the movie it is raining and gloomy and there is a horse getting whipped by its master on the side of the rode for taking a rest because it is hurt, therefore the music used in this scene is sad music which sets a mood and gives emotion to the scene. Another film technique used is the angling of the camera which the director (Michael Apted) used, such as the scene were Wilberforce is laying on the grass praying to god, the camera angle used is a close up of Wilberforce as he is praying. The Angle of this scene is effective because it tells the audience that Wilberforce is the main focus point of this

The soundtrack consists of mostly ambient instrumentals contributing to the suspenseful ambiance when Alekhine operates unnoticed, and it ramps up to caption the action when he inevitably is identified. While none of the songs stand out as memorable, they succeed in what they are meant to do - compliment the action on screen. The sound-effects are, without mincing words, bad; the guns sound more like pea-shooters than instruments of death, and the poor audio balancing plaguing the cutscenes is also evident in-game, although to a lesser degree. Sadly, the graphics don't fare any better. The overall bland art direction isn't helped by awkward camera scrolling, and regular, noticeable frame-rate drops - slowing the game to a crawl during the more graphics intensive scenes.

Ryuji Miyajima's editing does a good job of keeping the pace, without doing anything extraordinary, in another "rule" of the Japanese indie. However, the film is highly realistic and Yutaka Yamazaki's (Koreeda's regular) cinematography definitely adds to that trait as it presents everyday life in Japan. Furthermore, the way he portrays the passing of time through the children's growth is definitely elaborate. Michiaki Kato and Nakanishi Toshihiro's music is definitely on spot with its baroque-like style, particularly at the scenes where it emphasizes the comic

I loved that when there was an explosion everything looked so realistic and broke in pieces. Then when they were singing everything came back together like magic. It was a cute and interesting setting. Also, the fact that the main setting was the downstairs of the house, but then when the construction was highered, the downstairs and the bedrooms upstairs were part of the stage.

This clearly explains the significance of music and the role that has in motion pictures. Music has to match the emotions that the actors are showing and the environment they are in. If fail to do so, the movie could be a dreadful thing to watch.

Constantin Stankislavski and Uta Hagan are considered to be two greats in the art of acting. After reading the excerpts from the packet, and the chapters in the book it is really understandable as to why they are so respected in this art. When taking a look into their work there are some similarities about their craft and technique, however there are also some differences, as Utah Hagen branched out as did many others. In this paper, I’ll be taking a look at where these pioneers of their craft share similar methods, and where they differentiate in the use of their technique.

     The music helped in elaborating this great film. As I mentioned in class different instruments helped create different moods for different scenes in the movie. We heard the cello and the violin to create sadness and remorse. The flute created eeriness and the trumpet created awareness. I thought these were instruments and tools that help make this film extraordinary.

Although viewers have their prejudices on film adaptations, they normally attack the structure of the story, exclaiming that film did not stay faithful to the original story; only when a role is poorly cast do the scrutinizing viewers point out the acting. In some cases, however, the actor’s performance is so precise that it, in itself, carries the
