Tomorrow 's World And Surrealism

Ultimately it is stressed that decisions have impact on the unknown, providing comfort as it implements two principles; that undesirable future events are able to be prevented and fixed and that desirable future events are able to be created. The comforting nature of these time travel principles illustrate that the notion of control alleviates fears as sublime ‘what if?’ scenarios are made possible and attainable.

This was challenging and demanding but it helped us use different acting techniques e.g. voice, movement and facial expressions. So the audience would be able to differentiate between the different characters. I had 3 main roles in our production and the first character I worked on was probably the most difficult. I was given the characters Ogre’s grandmother, Musician, Hunter’s wife and woman neighbour. Characterization was bound within my own personality. Knowing this, I began to explore ways of developing my character that was part of me, rather than trying to copy a different character. I struggled with several things during the build up to the performance. I found it difficult to find how to portray the personality of my character “Woman Neighbour” but spending time with an old lady I knew and fit to the character description, I was able to develop how I would make my character seem realistic and more persuasive towards the

These components include juxtaposition and direct address to the audience. Juxtaposition is seen when The Last Post overshadows a didgeridoo, when the Indigenous serviceman returned from war. This enhances the dramatic meaning as it is conveying that the wider white community overlooked the actions of Indigenous soldiers. Also, the Last Post is still played today and thus communicates that there is still prejudice now. Secondly, use of direct address to the audience developed the viewer’s understanding of the dramatic meaning. This is evident as a past soldier is describing the effects of war and his journey through World War I, and speaking as if the audience were at the event. This grasped the audience on a personal level and made the address more meaningful. It is through the use of components of collage drama; juxtaposition and direct audience address that the dramatic meaning is effectively portrayed to the

The concept of image as presence refers to the concept that film can show the world as it truly is. Directors can choose to project the idea of image as presence in multiple ways, through the subjective viewpoints of the characters of the film, through an objective approach in which an omnipresent force that dictates to us about the facts that exist. In contrast, image as text, operates on the understanding that the world cannot be shown as it is, rather there is an understanding that what the viewer is seeing comes from an interpretive perspective. This viewpoint expects the audience to make connections between what they are seeing on the screen and other images that are already known. Making connections is part of the way that

The audience then became lost and frightened as there were no signs leading them to their next destination, once again forcing them to partake in the performance. This physicalisation not only successfully involved the contemporary audience, but demonstrated the necessity of physical composition to give audiences that real experience. This use of physical composition provided immediate reaction and emotional expression through action and contrast. These elements ultimately enhanced the mood and symbolism of the performance, allowing audiences to not only partake in the production on an intimate level but also on an emotional level. Another way in which mood and symbol can be created is through the use of complicité.

The use of distinctively visual images allows an audience to perceive and distinguish the composer’s specific representation. From these distinctive visuals, the audience’s perceptions force them to respond in a particular way. In ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’, Ang Lee utilises a range of film techniques to position his audience through a combination of quiet, dramatic scenes and choreographed action sequences. In his painting, ‘Third of May, 1808’ Fransisco Goya conveys meaning exclusively with distinctively visual techniques. Both the composers are able to effectively convey their message and

This essay will evaluate the question distinctively visual images convey distinctive experiences, Evaluating the idea that visual images give us distinct experiences and how certain experiences can change our destiny.

Further exploration of this novel will help to locate the past, elevate the present, and imagine the future.

New ideas derived from self-reflection enable us to develop in ways that are spiritually linked to the future. The inexorable passage of adulthood is established by the motif of time, indicating that life is continuously moving forward. The personification of time “guiltless minute hand” suggest that time is not responsible for our future, but we are. Additionally, the dysphemistic personification of “time was killed” foreshadows the cessation of childhood. Eventually, the

After having initially finished a lot of our scenes, we decided to revisit them to develop further, in order to portray each scene in the most creative and captivating way. The first scene we modified, was the opening of our performance. Originally, we had planned to have an arrow head shape down stage centre, made by all of our group members standing in this formation. From here, we were going to use a technique learnt from a theatre company who visited our school, called ‘Paper Birds’. This technique involved narrating an overview of the story, by using emphasised vocals to show how the mood changed throughout the story.

The use of imagery helps us paint a picture of a situation in which Van Helsing may have had to follow his instincts. For instance,

In this essay I will try to explain why visions of the future are so

Throughout this semester our literary material dealt with themes of technology, modernization, the imponderable bloom, human nature, and truth to name a few of the most overarching. Each text has woven an impression of the possible near future for humanity if the patterns we are creating continue at an exponential rate. Patterns such as consumerism, neglecting unpleasurable emotions, using drugs, and controlling the environment for our short term benefits will write an unsavory and inevitable future. Science Fiction often reflects on society by exaggerating their negative characteristics and advancements to seem far-out, but often it is ironic how close many aspects of the fiction are a direct reflection of the present condition. Even now, the possibilities of utopias and dystopias forming are not so out of reach. The ability of our culture to control an entire population with a self-satisfied culture of vices outfitted with technology is less and less science fiction as the years pass.
