Mean Streets is autobiographical in that Scorsese has drawn widely from his upbringing. In Mean Streets, Scorsese incorporated feelings, conflicts, and ideas that were present in his own life. Described by Scorsese himself as being a “an anthropological or a sociological tract." This film would be the last time he used directly autobiographical material and a screenplay, which reflected his own experiences. On Mean Streets itself, Scorsese says, “…It was like an allegory for what was happening to
It is rather astonishing to think about how a film comes together. This course has made me realize that the technology and cinematography is not as important as techniques and the elements of cinema. Those elements and techniques are what makes a story remarkable and will be further discussed in this essay. Film is the beautiful art in how people tell stories or recreate experiences. At this point in time, communication in human life is incredibly advanced and has become very powerful in
depicting a different reality through the mis-en-scene camera work, use of non-professional acting and a moralising plot creates a sense of reality for the audience. To begin, De Sica went for what seemed to be economically friendly approach to filming: shooting the film in actual outdoor locations instead of crafting a studio of his own. De Sica, however, has chosen to not replicate the architectural details of the real world in order to show it in camera to provoke the feeling of daily resonance portraying
cinema. Dziga Vertov’s 1929 film Man with a Movie Camera uses montage as a means to create a sense of consciousness within the viewer, while also reflecting, in his montage, the dynamism and chaos of modern life under the new Soviet regime. Vertov’s ultimate goal for cinema was to emancipate it from the bourgeois realm of canonical art and create a universal cinematic language that transcends class boundaries. The film associates the movie camera lens with the human eye, which gives birth to a new
“Cop lights, flash lights, spot lights, strobe lights, street lights (All of the lights, all of the lights).” We all make mistakes and some we live with for the rest of our lives. We all want hope, but no one wants false hope that leads people into despair, and that is what Kanye is proving to us throughout the song and video. In the music video “All of the Lights” by Kanye West, the producer Hype Williams uses quick edits and shots, font design, color, size and animation to make our heart rates
Sherlock Jr. (1924) is a good example of Classical Hollywood editing. The movie tells the story of the projectionist/Sherlock Jr. (Buster Keaton) who tries to woo a girl (Kathryn McGuire) with a chocolate box while also in conflict with the “sheik” (Ward Crane) all while working as a projectionist and projects “himself” (through a dream) into a movie he projects and becomes a detective. The story is fairly standard and a serves as an example of Classical Hollywood editing as it relates to some characteristics

Three critical problems come immediately to mind. First, the most common issue related to the new technological invention is whether we will replace people by various forms technology like CCTV cameras that can detect speeders. For example, why to appoint police officers for patrolling the streets when we have the technological resources to remotely monitor activities and deploy a smaller number of police to address crime problems that are detected. In large part, criminal justice agencies at
stages of cinema. When stepping back and properly analysing this quote of Renovs, one can see that due to the surfacing of numerous biography features over the past decade, movie makers are now trying to emulate the realness of non fiction through means that has often been more suitable to fiction itself in the past. And in many cases, to confirm his statement, these have often been well received amongst the public at large, erring that of The Big Short (2015), Joy (2015), Spotlight (2015), The Danish
Can we live without the new technology? Nowadays, the use of technology has spread in a lot of fields of life. Many tools of technology are applied in one day, such as watching TV, the phone different means of transportation, communication, the use of a computer, and even means of entertainment. Technology, on the other hand, has some bad effects on people. For example, use of technology led to obesity. Many people now depend on technology so they do not move.
