    2) In the movie Dances with Wolves I thought that the cinematography was done very well throughout and that it was a very important aspect to the film’s success. As the movie progresses, beautiful scenery is captured and an old time in our history is portrayed. The reason why this film contains such great cinematography is because it allows us to visualize the story and create a very strong and emotional attachment for the characters. The film also was very successful in using the proper techniques of lighting and camera positions. The importance behind these two are huge because they determine the type of mood in which the film is captured.…

    Journal Entry The movie “A Time to Kill” is similar to the classic novel “To Kill a Mockingbird” as a white lawyer is defending an innocent African American man, but the predominantly white jury is the only obstacle that both men have of getting freedom and receiving true justice.

Both the novel and film depicts how the justice system in the south is not fair as the jury cannot see beyond the skin colour of the accused. I believe that the actions that Carl Lee Hailey did was justified as the two rapists Billy Ray Cobb and Pete…
