The conception of cinema has provided the world with a new art form. Its combination of theatrical and photographic elements, coupled with nuances built of itself, creates pieces of artwork matchless to the art forms before it. For film is too photographic to be considered comparable to theatre and too theatrical to be comparable to photography. The invention of film fulfils some of the limitations of both these mediums and opens possibilities that defines itself as its own artwork, which is ingested

In this study I will be discussing “ Mise En Secne” in a scene from Jean Luc Godard’s film “Le Mepris”, This film is extensively layered with cinematic text, and different social and political subliminal ideas working together as one part to meld in an artistic film within a simple story line, “A French couple living a contemptuous conjugal life, as the wife Camille begins to abhor her husband Paul, Paul tries to investigate the reason of their failed marriage”. This simple story line, identifies

Ways of Reading and Jane Tompkins In the book, Ways of Reading, the authors Bartholomae and Petrosky outline what they describe as a "strong reader". They characterize the attributes that collectively contribute to this title and then talk about the relations between a strong reader and a strong writer. The perspectives that Bartholomae and Petrosky discuss on ideas and textual analysis are very interesting and in point of fact remind me of the thought process of which I use when analyzing

Clip Analysis This clip is from the 1929 movie, Un Chien Andalou. This film uses two specific formal choices that illustrate it’s surrealism, including discontinuity editing and close-ups.

Breathless and The Motorcycle Diaries “Like the ancient oral and literary traditions of travel tales to which it is related, the road film speaks to the human predilection for travel, to our fascination with vehicles of locomotion, our visions of freedom, the pleasures of adventure, the promise of self realization, the experience of life as a journey” (Location 8051 of 13125).

Thinking about school sometimes hurts, especially about important assessments. Quiz on Friday for this class, test on Thursday for another class, it's a rough week. It is a Tuesday, and there were no worries in my mind as I enter school that day. Suddenly, I realized that there was a language arts test in 1st period! I zoomed to my locker, quickly went to my class, and snagged a book from the counter and started to study. As I frantically cram in information about The Odyssey for the test that is

also used a large amount of camera movements. The film Amélie is inspired by the French New Wave and uses its distinct characteristics throughout the movie. In the film Amélie, director Jean-Pierre Jeunet uses skillful directing, lighting, editing, and form to achieve themes such as innocence and happiness.
