The best use of 3D in films comes when a filmmaker is trying to absorb the audience into a different world. Scorsese's *Hugo* leads the audience into Scorsese's magical and whimsical Paris with a gorgeous train staton. *Coraline* draws the audience into Coraline's disturbing alternative life. *Avatar* literally creates a separate world and realizes it with 3D. Marvel's *Doctor Strange*, while not equal in overall cinematic quality to these films, uses 3D incredibly well to align the audience with Doctor Strange and experience the kaleidoscopic "other" dimensional worlds of the film. These extraordinary moments of 3D stand in stark contrast with the flatter, more ordinary world Doctor Strange used to live in before he became a sorcerer/guy with a beard. …show more content…
In it, physical objects can be twisted, distorted, and re-shaped in *Inception*-on-steroids ways. The opening scene of the film shows off this dimension before even introducing the main character. The Ancient One (Tilda Swindon) and Kaecilius (Mads Mikkelsen) are battling in this mirror dimension. Just like how *Avatar* and *Hugo* start with shots that show off their 3D, this scene essentially screams its use of 3D. Buildings rotate and bend in front of the audience. Shatter patterns and cracks in space appear in front of the screen. Streaks of magical power and broken bits of building fly out. The camera tilts, rotates, and pans, flipping the entire world (and the audience) on its side. The audience can't help but be aware of (and, the filmmaker hopes, awed by) the spectacle they are witnessing. It's a mind-bending opening that draws in the viewer--not only does it tell the audience that this is a 3D film, but it also indicates what visuals, effects, and patterns to expect from the film, even as it cuts to the comparatively mundane and flat surgeon life of Doctor
I attended a production of The 39 Steps. The two act play was an adaptive parody piece derived from the 1935 Alfred Hitchcock movie based on the John Buchan novel; originally conceptualized by Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon, it was then adapted for the stage by Patrick Barlow. Additionally, it paid homage to Alfred Hitchcock, in that the play seems to include a representation of almost every famous scene from a Hitchcock film. Eric Harrell, the Producing Artistic Director, described the play during his introduction as, “Alfred Hitchcock meets a spy novel meets Carol Burnette.” After viewing the play, I would agree that that is a fairly accurate assessment of the over-all tone of the production; however, I would have substituted Monty Python
The unrealistically hilarious Australian film, Bran Nue Dae, by director Rachel Perkins encompasses the adventures of Indigenous teenager Willie Johnson. After being shipped off to a Catholic boarding school in Perth to become a priest, he spends the entirety of the film travelling home to Broome with two hippies in a kombi van and his homeless, alcoholic uncle, Uncle Tadpole. Good morning/afternoon Miss Radunz and class. The aim of this presentation is to analyse the negative depiction of the two social groups, Hippies, portrayed by Wolfgang and Annie, who are stereotyped as unpredictable and obsessed with freedom. And Musicians, who are stereotyped as vain and self centred, which is represented by Lester. Using these stereotypes effectively
The film Mosquita y Mari directed and created by Aurora Guerrero is a coming of age story set about Huntington Park in the southeastern part of Los Angeles. It uses tense scenery that seeks to explore what it means to be in a romantic relationship versus a close friendship. Furthermore, upon legitimizing Yolanda and Mari`s relationship the film provokes the audience to ask the question, “If they are queer, what is keeping them in the closet?” This question is most effectively answered by examining how Yolanda and Mari`s ethnicity, locational, and immigrant descendant identities intersect to keep them in the closet.
Individual’s identity can be formed through significant events but these events can also change and create a new identity. In the film ‘The sapphires’, Kay is introduced as a victim of the stolen generation which changed her life and her identity as she grew up believing she was white. This is evident in the scene where they show Kay with other girls in her apartment in Melbourne. The use of middle angle shot allows the responder to see Kay being assimilated into the white culture which juxtapose the difference in clothing, where and how they live and the way they speak between Kay and Gail and her sisters. As the film progresses, we notice the change in Kay’s identity as she feels the need to identify herself a black. This use of close up
Tinghir Jersualem is a documentary by historian Kamal Hachkar, a Muslim. It explores the relationship between the Jews and Muslims in Tinghir, Moracco both prior to the Jews departure to Israel and the aftermath of their leaving. Kamal interviews both Jews and Muslims from Morraco to get their own stories related to the departure that largely took place in the 1950s and 1960s. Kamal's approach of interviewing both Jews and Muslims helps present the unity that Jews and Muslims felt in Morraco prior the 1960s. Older Muslim and Jewish men spoke foundly of their neighbors and the many business transactions and card games that went on between the two groups of people. The Muslim and Jewish women simiarly excited when talking about their neighbors,
The 1938 film, “Mamele,” directed by Joseph Green and Konrad Tom is musical comedy-drama that portrays the life of Havche, a dutiful daughter who keeps her family intact after their mother’s death. Havche spends her day cleaning the house and providing food for her family members. She is so caught up on doing household chores that she has little time for herself. More importantly, the film emphasizes on Havche and her family, as she tries to be the mother and take care of her family. Throughout the movie, we witness the struggles Havche overcomes by not being appreciated for the sacrifices she makes. It isn’t until she finds comfort from Schlesinger, a violinist who lives across her. The film also embraces the entire gamut of interwar Jewish
In “Why I Hate 3-D(And You Should Too),” author Roger Ebert condemns the use of 3D in the Hollywood industry. Ebert states that this technology is a waste and it’s pointless
It is not unexpected that shooting massive amounts of water, sand, and chemicals at high pressure into the earth to shatter shale and release natural gas might shake things up but earthquakes aren't the worst problem with fracking ( Suzuki 1). Hydraulic fracking is the process of breaking up rock to release the gas between them. The worst part about fracking is all of the problems that already occur, being blamed solely on fracking. There are many issues involving fracking but the positive outcomes outway the bad.
As you might expect, you have to wear 3D glasses while inside the 18-hole course. What gives the 3D effect is the way the artwork is designed. It has an overlapping look, so once you put your glasses on, it appear to be three dimensional. Some of the 3D looked
John Holder is an artist, author and a musician. This is a documentary made by his grandson, Louis Holder who wrote, directed, cinematographed and edited the film.
Twenty-two veterans a day, every hour kill themselves. On January 25, 2016 my cohorts and I were afforded the opportunity to take a sneak peek into one of the only crisis hotline centers in the United States. This call center receives about 22,000 calls a day. The firm Crisis Hotline Veteran’s Press One allowed us to see how counselors deal with their crisis calls. The film gave me a new found respect for those professionals working in the crisis hotline arena. The film lets us hear different story’s from counselor’s working in the crisis center. These stories were told from the counselors’ point of view.
Serling faced challenges from advertisers and sensors. He faced problems with them because he wanted to put his ideas in but they wanted to hide it. He made the script about the murder of Emmett Till and they “whittled it down to avoid controversies. Advertisers and sensors took out any parts that were controversial. When they did this it changed the meaning of his work. Serling choose to write and create his own tv shows. He did this because he was angry by stuff happening in the real world. He wanted to inform and entertain through moral tales that would inform and confront issues like war and racism. He wanted to make people think through fiction. By doing this he would free to create stories that could be less controversial than in a book.
Central Idea: 3D glasses were developed to assist individuals view objects in a three dimension without having to strain their eyes.
Failure is one of society’s biggest teachers. It is an inescapable part of our everyday lives. The film Stronger helps teach us that bad things have a purpose. Stronger is directed by David Gordon Green, a former indie filmmaker, and was debuted at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival. Stronger is based off a true story, but it doesn’t accentuate the typical sob story. It shows Jeff’s flaws for what they are, instead of just making a hero out of him. The two main characters, Jeffrey Bauman and Erin Hurley, are played by Jake Gyllenhaal and Tatiana Maslany. Stronger was also produced by Jake Gyllenhaal, along with other various screenwriters and directors. Stronger should be on the American Film Institute's Top 100 Best Films of All Time List due to its impeccable mise en scene, exemplary ideology, and admirable photography.
Have you ever wondered how 3D movies worked. It is the same thing as the most popular 3D toy is called the “View-Master viewer”. The “View-Master” Is like a binocular but there is some thing in the way like a image. The “View-Master” uses images from a places or a things. Let's say an apple is on a stand, you take a picture first from the left side then from the right side. Now that you have two pictures in two different places. If you hold the right one to right eye, and the left one to the left eye in a
