The Climax Of King Kong

Although there are several shared meanings between the two Godzilla movies, the depiction of King Kong in the 1933 and the 1962 versions have some differences and similarities. When depicted in the 1933

The original 1933 King Kong was created as a movie: to convey a story and entertain and audience. Peter Jackson’s 2005 remake took the foundation for King Kong and expanded upon it in almost every way in order to “make again” the amazement of the original for a modern audience. Audiences received the original King Kong very well. The stop motion sequences of Kong were amazing for their time and the movie grossed $90,000 in its opening weekend. In order to bank upon its success again sequels were made and then in 1976 a remake was made to improve upon the original. Paramount updated the movie to color, changed the story, and cast Jeff Bridges, a well-known actor of the time, as the lead. Although the movie received mixed reviews, it did

From this scene until the end of the sequence, Kubrick plays with different editing techniques. When this ape is observing skeleton, the shot cuts to a low angle shot of the monolith. This shows the audience that the ape is thinking about the monolith. When the ape smashes the skull with the bone, it cuts to a shot of a dead tapir. The quick-cuts of the crushed bones and another cut of a beaten tapir illustrates that the apes are no longer scared of tapirs or any other predatory creature. It gives the apes a sense of power and dominance over their so called predators. This method of editing not only becomes an insight to an ape’s thoughts but it also seen as a depiction of mankind’s predatory instincts. The music also invokes the feeling of power because it indicates a connection between the outskirts of space and this major breakthrough of human evolution. As a result of evolution, the apes have a newly-developed intelligence as well as a dietary change that primarily consists of

During the film Steve Spielberg uses music, a mysterious shark and camera techniques such as simultaneous track and zoom, long shot, close up shots and medium shots to build suspense, tension and scare the audience.

Heroes are present in movies, tv shows or games. A “hero's journey” shows a character's journey on gaining the title of a “hero”. A movie or tv show may show a character or multiple characters go through very difficult times but it the end show how they overcame adversity and is now known as a hero. In the Lion King, Simba can be seen as a hero with the challenges he endures and what he overcomes by the end. Simba has many heroic qualities his wisdom, compassion for others, moral reasoning and responsibility makes him stand out above all other characters. Simba as a young lion, was very selfish and naive to many things happening at Pride Rock . His choice to run away at a young age showed he didn't want to face his problems or accept what he thought he did. Simba begins to gain heroic qualities as he is now living his own life in a faraway jungle, he is learning how to be independent, and how to live his own life instead of being in the shadow of his dad, the king of Pride Rock.

The movie that I choose to watch is “The Rise of the Planet of the Apes”. In class we learned that primates have different categories. The categories include; movement, reproduction, intelligence and behavior patterns. In the movie, the main ape, Caesar, as well as the other primates in the movie shows examples of these categories. Although, like most modern day movies, some behaviors and characteristics are not true and do not relate to the material that we studied in class.

Looking at The King of Kong: Fistful of Quarters, we can see the first aspect used is the on-camera interview. The opening shot of this movie is an interview of the World Champion Donkey Kong player. The film itself has multiple interviews with different people. Most of the film is footage from the interviews. The directors take time to interview the World Champion, the challenger, the referee, other world champions of other games, and the families of the competitors. The interviews gave the audience a sense of who the person was and gave us some background information on their skill and how they came to like the game. Given the interviews, we were able to gain extra information about the gamers that we might not have been able to see from just watching them play the game. Additionally, it would be hard to make a movie about the Donkey Kong Champion without making it a documentary full of interviews. The interviews conducted informed the audience on the

This allows the scene to create greater tension with the use of darkness diverting the audience expectations. For the camera movement, firstly it is a long shot to show the location and they are going to fight, and then it use a lot of close up, over shoulder and extreme close up to illustrate how they fight with using different Kong Fu and weapons, during they are fighting, it also has some bird s eye view shot to show how intense of their fight, because it also show the ground fault of the weapons and the struggle traces shows the suspension. As a distinctively visual technique, audiences are able to feel the suspense. The way in the shooting, the director Ang Lee has done all the details in every possible way. In the light text effect, he spent most of the low key lighting to keep the mystery of kung fu; the lens shooting, he spent a lot of The third-person perspective and two shot make the audience appreciate the traditional Chinese martial arts, and he can also take care while a lot of details, such as eye contact play against the two sides, the audience can understand the meaning of what they want to say without the dialogue. The scenes is showing a back and forth between two characters staring at each other, then that is most likely the use of the shot-reverse-shot technique.

Tom Hanks who is the main character couldn’t believe his eyes. He was shocked that those cruel scenes were happening right in front of his face. Spielberg also stops the music and makes the screen kind of blurry to instill a sense of reality to the atmosphere. This definitely added more reality to the movie. Tim O’Brien said credibility might be threatened by telling an unbelievable story but this unbelievable aspect of the movie adds more credibility. The way he shot the film almost gives us a feeling that we were watching a documentary about war. These are the aspects Tim O’Brien exactly talks about in his text. Spielberg includes unbelievable aspect to his movie but he does not lose the credibility as Tim O’Brien states on his text.

Light can make a scene look more realistic by creating shadows and highlights. In this scene Alonzo if enraged with anger as he looks for help from the gangsters and thugs he once worked with and protected but those very same individual’s no longer have the same respect for Alonzo. The “King Kong” scene is shot using a low key lighting design. Low–key lighting is often used for intense dramatic scenes which was a perfect fit for this scene. The dark lighting used in these scene

In the essay, “The Worthy Rise of the Planet of the Apes,” Kelly Pietruszynski (the author) accesses the profitability and longevity of the movies leading up to and including “Rise of the Planet of the Apes.” In the Essay, Pietruszynski hits on a few main points about the movie One being the spectacular plot, Pietruszynski explains how the plot is so spectacular. Pietruszynski says, “Any attempt to explain how apes become intelligent and humans stupid is finally going to stretch credibility…However is plausible.”(pg 132). Another being the special effects. The special effects are all computer generated like Caesar. Pietruszynski think this adds to the plot.

The stop motion animation sequences were filmed separately from the live action scenes with the actors. These two parts were then combined to create the illusion that the ape was towering over the actors. In the 2005 remake of the film, director Peter Jackson relied on Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI) to animate Kong. This use of CGI gave the director greater artistic control of the narrative. Many of the sets were computer-generated, as well as Kong himself. To combine both the actors and the computer-generated images together, chroma keying was used. In the scene where Ann Darrow is placed in the hand of Kong, the actress was filmed against a green screen, and held by a large green hand. When this scene was merged with the digital Kong, a composite image shows Kong holding her. Since chroma-keying technology did not exist in the 1930’s, a full-sized, fur covered hand had to be constructed to create the effect of Kong holding the actor. The difference between the visual effects in both versions is significant, making is apparent that the remake has displayed great technological advancement. These advancements also make the film more believable, and emphasise the story.

Spike Lee’s 1991 film Jungle Fever is a narrative about racism and romance in the 90s. The film focuses on interracial relationships which were, at the time, considered taboo. Before 1968, however, the guidelines of the Hays Code would have made this film almost impossible to produce. While Jungle Fever doesn’t defy the previously dissolved Hays Code outright, there are several points that still do and do not follow the guidelines once used in cinema production.

Metaphor, the comparison of two entities, is quite evident throughout Ishirō Honda 1962 movie King Kong vs. Godzilla. Incorporating two of the most iconic monsters within cinematic history, Honda integrated these monsters to represent his message showing how Japan was shifting from their traditional society towards a society that was technologically advanced. Furthermore, Honda was able to incorporate subliminal messages throughout the film in order to highlight certain characteristics between Godzilla and King Kong that represented traditional and modern culture. By employing metaphors, Honda was able to show how King Kong is a representation of Japan’s technological advancements while Godzilla symbolizes traditional Japanese culture.

When it comes to the film industry, entertainment is the tool used to acquire what is desired, money. The main goal for filmmakers when they create a film is to attain money in addition to the money spent to make the movie. Therefore, in some films that they like to base off of true accounts, it is somewhat necessary to dramatize or embellish the story to really tug at the heartstrings of the films audience. They achieve this goal by the use of dramatic music, ambient lighting, and a small amount of tweaked diction. The Fighter is an excellent example of this dramatization in action because throughout the film the characters are faced with a multitude of decisions that must be made. The choices they make require the characters to choose
