First, I feel that any film is a standalone thing, as soon as the artist completes it and present to its audience . I see the final product as separate from the achievement in creating this product (which is why I have no problem with best director’s not winning best picture or vice versa). I feel that when you're judging with context in mind, all you can really judge is the achievement of the person how will he or she was able to bring his film to justice , how well was he able to showcase the past
Our constitution gives the media and the public an ‘almost absolute’ right to freedom over speech and expression. The founding fathers of the Indian constitution attached great importance to this right and knew that this right is inherently important for a democratic society. The right is subject to certain restrictions mentioned in Article 19(2), one of which is that this right can be restricted by the state subject to obscenity and morality. The contrast of a free and continuously developing media
laws are consistently facing new issues (Litman, 2017, p. 19). Intellectual property is thus omnipresent in the film industry and cannot be ignored by filmmakers. Wasko and Jewell, who studied the ‘script market’, retracing with precision the journey of a script from
entertainment (films, television, novels), involves different rules/methods that creators use to communicate a story. Sometimes, the storytelling differences appear obvious; unlike novels, films convey stories through visual means. On the other hand, some entertainment displays more similarities than differences, such as film and television due to their focus on visual storytelling. However, films and television display one major distinction that revolves around time/timing and editing. Usually, films last
mentioned that the purpose of these films were in fact to distract and relieve the public from “increasingly bad war news and the amount of enemy bombing” (Source F). Though this does refer to cinema as a tool of propaganda, it is made clear that this is not its main purpose but rather to entertain its viewers by providing escapism from the daily harsh realities of war. However Source B does leave some allowance for interpretation as just because Hitler enjoys films as “after-dinner entertainment” it
Gandhi An Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments with Truth is a book that is written in a way that does not narrate Mohmand Gandhi’s life; but rather, it shapes a more interactive approach to not only educate readers, but to teach them the importance behind his philosophies. The book is structured in a way that shows readers the challenges that Gandhi faced and how these formulated his outlook on life. Moreover, he writes his book from a self-realization standpoint on how his teachings were
This extract shows how Riefenstahl’s films captured the Nazi ideals by specific use of camera angles, shots, and content. Riefenstahl’s footage portrays Hitler as a ‘deific Führer’, which would have added to the already growing opinion of Hitler as the saviour of Germany. The source also disregards any possibility of Riefenstahl not producing these films under Joseph Goebbels’ (and therefore Hitler’s) orders, and it therefore disregards the possibility of the films being anything other than propaganda
produce Triumph of the Will. The film was made in order to achieve two main aims, as Germany seeked change and needed inspiration. These were: to glorify and exalt the Nazi Party in the eyes of all Germans, as well as, to strongly praise their führer Adolf Hitler. When one first encounters the main aspects of the film, they are shown to be the intense portrayal of the setting and environment, the depiction
While Daughters of the Dust by Julie Dash came out in 1991, its influence in Hollywood is still felt today. For example, it was recently restored to the Film Forum in 2016, as well as featured in Beyoncé’s 2015 music video Lemonade. However, Daughters of the Dust not only influenced Hollywood but also African American women's representation in Hollywood.
