The director is always the most important influence on the film compare how far your two chosen films support this statement a common miss conception throughout society is that they believe that the director has all creative control over the piece of media they are producing. this is true to a certain degree but most pieces of media are influenced by production companies like Columbia Studios who can have a major impact on the films production. an example of this is Orson Welles' film "the lady from shanghai" which was released in 1947 was completely ruined when they fired Orson Welles from the film completely (for multiple reasons like going over budget) and Columbia Studios who was funding the production passed editing over to Viola Lawrence in an attempt to "save the story". this resulted in the entire movie to become disorientated with shots in the wrong place and the story being hard to read and leading to there being hardly any story at all. This can ...

discuss how important cinematography is in establishing strong responses from spectators to a key character in 'La La Land'. your answer must refer to 1 scene in detail.  Cinematography is important to the story of La La Land due to it being able to portray the story of the characters and their emotions throughout the story. For example, the first interaction with Seb has more verisimilitude due to the more realistic colour scheme with minimalistic clothing and natural lighting compared to Mia where her scenes have a lot more colour and life to them with like bright coloured clothing showing her optimism whereas Seb has a more realistic view on things due to already being screwed over in the past. the scene of Seb and his sister is taken all in one shot. this makes the scene more verisimilitude and easy to follow due to it being less colourful and exciting due to them telling you the story rather than doing it through song. this also shows us how Seb has a more realistic view...

how far does "winter's bone" rely upon an understanding of its social context? refer in detail to at least one sequence from the film [20] winters bone requires you to understand the rules of the place it is set in which is in the   Ozark mountain  in a small community where illegal methamphetamine trade flourishes. without this knowledge it can be hard for a passive viewer to understand due to it needing an active viewing to be properly understood. this could be due to the low budget of two million dollars preventing it from having all the big car chases and explosions like mainstream movies making it very dull and realistic which the director  Debra Granik was aiming for with long takes and a lot of establishing shots to adds to the verisimilitude of the film.  the movie opens up with an establishing shot of the landscape to how the audience the setting in which winters bone takes place with a mix of diegetic and non diegetic sound with the rain and a local ...

We mainly used close up shots. This would mainly reflect on the boy's somewhat unnatural fixation on this girl. An example of this is when he’s glancing repeatedly at her during the opening. Opposingly, the close-ups on the girl subtly reflect her discomfort/nonchalant behavior towards the boy as she doesn’t really care for/see him. During the end in the tunnel, we use a long shot to present the idea of danger, and later during the confrontation with the attacker, we use extreme close up shot to show tension/fear in the boy. Furthermore, a subtle tilt is used when the boy is leaning on the rail to foreshadow his uneasy demise. Most of the sound in the end sequence is non-diegetic, with that being the atmospheric music and heart rate monitor. That’s not to say that we didn’t use diegetic sound at all, as the grunts and impact noises are all diegetic. We briefly considered using foley sound to accentuate those impacts and convey more pain, but ultimately decided against it as time w...
