This The Hamburg Cell showed the planning of the 9/11 attacks and the background of the terrorist who were involved. We are shown secret communication, classified documents, and interrogation information to understand how and why these men ended up doing what they did. The documentary describes each hijacker’s past and what each lead of them to pledge their allegiance to Osama bin Laden. Hamburg Cell presents all of the slip-ups that were made. There were multiple instances that the terrorist almost got themselves caught, and many times that the FBI should have been warned by Germany and Dubai.

In the film industry, there are directors who merely take someone else’s vision and express it in their own way on film, then there are those who take their own visions and use any means necessary to express their visions on film. The latter of these two types of directors are called auteurs. Not only do auteurs write the scripts from elements that they know and love in life, but they direct, produce, and sometimes act in their films as well. Three prime examples of these auteurs are: Kevin Smith, Spike Lee and Alfred Hitchcock.

In the film 11'09"01, directors around the world detail their perspectives on the events of 9/11 with a 11 minute short film.

The Looming Tower, written by Lawrence Wright, examines the people involved and the events leading up to the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. The text included the personal accounts of Osama bin Laden and other middle-eastern influences such as Dr. Ayman al Zawahiri (the most significant ideological frontrunner of al-Qaeda), Abdullah Azzam, Khallad, and Sayyid Qutb, along with western factors like, Daniel Coleman, Jack Cloonan, Patrick Fitzgerald, and John O’Neill. The choices made by those influencers in the Middle East, and in the west, during the 20th century created the climate in which the terrorist organization al-Qaeda was formed, and the terror of 9/11 was executed. Two specific

Sound and editing are quite possible the two stand-out aspects of all Edgar Wright’s films. The two go side-by-side and are an essential aspect of delivering a satisfying experience in modern day cinema. Wright’s films push the boundaries of what someone would consider the standard function of these two elements. Edgar Wright is one of the only people working in the visual comedy genre using a full range of what is possible and because of that, he can find humour in places that other people don’t look. Wright directs his scenes with a method that referred to as entering a scene later and leaving it early. He does this by using his trademark close up montages. These montages take a scene that would normally be up to 30 seconds long and reduces it to 3. It also falls into his style of visual comedy, taking mundane tasks and extenuating them with quick cuts. Another efficient way Wright tells his stories is with the clever use of background action. Instead of blankly exposition, he lets the visuals tell the audience everything they need to know. In Shaun of the Dead, there’s a scene where Shaun is going to the convenience store and is completely oblivious to the zombie apocalypse. He ignores people running for their lives, doesn’t look at red hand prints on the cooler doors and even slips on blood without even noticing. Nobody has to say anything. That’s because Wright trusts that his audience is smart enough to pick up on visual cues. Wright is also big on repeated dialogue

Wild Style (1983) was a film that documented the real world of hip hop before most people even knew what hip hop was. This movie brings about the four crucial elements of hip hop - emceeing, graffiti, break-dancing, and deejaying. These features are the backdrop to the story of a graffiti artist named Raymond who lives in the South Bronx that goes by the name “Zoro”, who is played by well-known New York graffiti artist Lee Quinones. The movie goes through the tribulations of his life and relationship with Rose, while showing some of the historical aspects of hip hop.

An auteur is a filmmaker whose movies are characterized by their creative influence. Garry Marshall is an American filmmaker, he has directed more than 15 films in his career. Garry Marshall’s films The Princess Diaries, Valentines Day and Overboard share a common theme of love and a genre of romance and comedy, he likes to use the same actors in his films and have the common plot of a double twist. Garry Marshall likes to keep to the same character persona and film techniques but these generalized similarities are not obvious to the audience, therefore Garry Marshall is not a recognizable Auteur.

The use of editing is very common in Tim Burton films, especially flashbacks. In the movie, “Charlie and The Chocolate Factory,” it is frequent to discern flashbacks of Willy Wonka’s past. Scenes were displayed to express and explain Wonka’s feelings and why the factory exists. In the flashbacks, it shows that Wonka’s father was a dentist, and the young Willy Wonka’s love for sweets, which caused a complication between them. His love for sweets led him to create a factory that manufactured different unique products. In another movie called “Edward Scissorhands,” shows the old Kim telling a story about Edward Scissorhands to her granddaughter. To sum up, the majority of the movie was basically a flashback of Kim’s past. Also, in Kim’s story,

On May 2nd, 2011, the people of the United States awoke to some of the best news they would hear for many years to come; Osama bin Laden had been killed. President Barack Obama delivered the message at 7:30AM and the country was buzzing about it for weeks after. Osama bin Laden was a name that every American man, woman, and child knew. On 9-11-01, four planes were hijacked by terrorists and crashed into strategic locations to sow chaos, confusion, death, and destruction into the American people. 2,977 innocent Americans died on that fateful day, and the man who decided they should die and be subject to terror was Osama bin Laden. Since that fateful day, America has donated massive amounts of time and money to find Osama, and bring him to justice. However, time and time again he evaded capture and kept us chasing him.

Editing, Cinematography, and Sound in Gladiator The film that I have chosen to analyse is Gladiator. I have chosen to analyse the scene where the gladiators are battling in the Middle East. The scene contains many features and editing techniques which make the fight sequence exciting and thrilling.

The three films that I chose for this final project are; Fahrenheit 9/11, CSI season 1 episode 22, and West Wing Season 3 episode 1. These films are connected because they focus on different aspects associated with the attacks on September 11, 2001. Fahrenheit 9/11 is connected to the current topic because it’s main plot point follows Michael Moore’s narrative of blaming George W. Bush, our president on September 11 2001, for the acts of terrorism. However, the film examines step by step the failures of President Bush before, during, and after the falling of the Twin Towers. The CSI episode took a somber and realistic tone airing an episode that featured Taylor explaining how his wife when the towers fell. Furthermore, The West Wing, which highlighted the events that had happened prior to the event, focused on security breaches within the White House.

One of the world’s deadliest terrorists, Osama bin Laden, has cause havoc throughout the world by committing terror acts carried out by his Islamic extremist group, Al- Qaeda. Bin Laden has caused many problems throughout the world by his terrorism and this all came to an end on May 2, 2011. Seal Team Six was sent into his bunker and put an end to his life and his 10-year hide out after the 9/11 terror attacks on the World Trade Center. Osama has been the leader of Al-Qaeda since 1988 and since then has committed numerous amounts of terror attacks on all parts of the world. Osama bin Laden has developed over time as a leader of Al-Qaeda, and through his beliefs of Muslim brotherhood, he developed into an extreme Islamic terrorist.

Mission Impossible II Nowadays in the U.S., it is hard to avoid Terrorism. All over the world, there is this one person when in his/her hateful mind that either, the person wants to rule the world or wants to be the only one standing. Media did not cover this topic and domestic terrorism situations were almost unheard. When the tragic day of September 9th of 2001 happened, everything changed. The 9/11 terrorist attack against the World Trade Center twin towers made Americans aware of how vulnerable was the United States.
