For example, when the singing telegram man was ready to communicate the heart-rending message to Louise, the light shined only on him. Through this effect, it portrayed a suspenseful setting which foreshadowed what was to come.…

    When producing films, directors typically maintain the purpose of wanting their audience to follow the message they have portrayed. The viewers must take an active role of implicitly reading between the storylines in order to understand an underlying idea that is greater than the story itself. The audience is able to determine the theme implicitly due to common techniques that are used by many directors. Throughout the dark fantasy film Pan’s Labyrinth, by Guillermo Del Toro, and in the war drama film Hacksaw Ridge, by Mel Gibson, both directors were able to display the theme of betrayal through various filming techniques. The directors had done more than simply allow actors to speak the message directly; they wanted to use specific techniques…

    Lighting was the only source to distinguish locations on the stage. By providing light to the stage, I was able to lose my focus on the biggest scenery on the stage, the house, and focus on the location where the action is taking place, for example, the school, school yard. The lighting designer, Renee Brode, provided all of those elements with no errors. I was also able to distinguish between the real life in the story and Ralphie Parker’s dreams because I saw a little change of colour in the…

    In the scene where Gilly is free from her ex-boyfriend fortissimo sound effect signals a powerful freeing of her from Jimmy’s soul that possess her. The lighting of Practical Magic is consistent with the interpretation of magic in general and the connection of romance displayed in the movie. Magic is viewed as a dark, somber, sinister, even evil practice filled with devil-worship and the lighting is symbolism to the view of witchcraft.

This specific film has not only piqued interest worth merit, but also has been a true inspiration of acceptance of all religious practices with acting, sets and location that excel in quality and degree, plus the lighting, camera angles, and sound effects brilliantly placed to indicate foreshadowing and intensity of emotion.…

Also, the director is Sean Penn. Throughout this essay, I'll be contrasting the wilderness against society to show how humans are distancing themselves from their ancestors; we are losing who we truly are.…

    The high contrast and deep shadows add to the uncomfortable and cramped feeling of Ed’s house, perhaps hinting at the inner discontentment the family has in relation to its class and social standing. The lighting adds interesting shadows to the film, which create the perfect, uncomfortable ambiance for it and also allow us to extrapolate the director’s underlying messages. In the scene when Ed pressures his son, forcing him to skip dinner until he answers a math problem correctly, there is a moment when Lou walks in worriedly. The room is barely lit. Ed and her stand behind the couch where their son is sitting.…

    Since in earlier parts of the documentary we almost always see the scenes masked by darkness. This technique was particularly well used in moments where we couldn’t make out what the characters looked like, hiding their emotions, which triggers frustration from the viewer and further curiosity. Such moments made the scenes dramatic as well as questionable. The lighting depicted more than just mood, it also helped in telling who this character was. Since moments where Nickolas’s sister was always portrayed in a brighter happier light.…
