20.02.2012 Monday Student: Regina Verner Instructor: Arvo Iho Baltic FIlm and Media School Film ''Down by the law''by Jim JArmuch is a black and white comedy/drama/crime. His main idea about the film was to create and develop a style to follow realistic and imperfect characters through familiar environments. The scene begins with a long shot, panoramic view of a city/town called New Orleans, feeling of a old school architecture, swaps and worn down streets are presented to us of surreal and slow paced series of moving shots
renting and building sets cost money etc. So, in the long term, making longer films more than 3 hours is not that good idea. Longer films would start losing money. Films in ordinary cinema are not long. Because of that, filmmakers have to make compromises, all the time and everywhere. Starting with the writer. If they come with an original idea, easier for them. They don’t have to go that deep into the background of the characters to tell the story because there would be enough time in the film to show it, so they can write less but better. When writers have to adapt story from the book, it gets more complicated. Firstly they have to get to the very core message what the book has to say and even speak to the original writer. Then all the rough material has to be watered down to fit to the strict time limit for the movie. That means, maybe altering story, events, characters, back story. When making dialogue shorter, meaningful messages might get lost or doesn’t have
Chaplin's slapstick acrobatics made him famous, but the subtleties of his acting made him great. While Harold Lloyd played the daredevil, hanging from clocks, and Buster Keaton maneuvered through surreal and complex situations, Chaplin concerned himself with improvisation. For Chaplin, the best way to locate the humor or pathos of a situation was to create an environment and walk around it until something natural happened. The concern of early theater and film was to simply keep the audience's attention through overdramatic acting that exaggerated emotions, but Chaplin saw in film an opportunity to control the environment enough to allow subtlety to come through. Chaplin was known as one of the most demanding men in Hollywood. Regardless of the size the part, Chaplin walked each actor through every scene. Chaplin knew that a successful scene was not simply about the star, but about everyone on the screen. He demanded that the
of Estonian national theatre was in 1870 when Lydia Koidula started writing and staging plays for the ''Vanemuine'' society in Tartu. During this century the inventors created a number of new ways of listening to an acted story or seeing a show. First came the cinema. The cinema's possibilities are unlimited. It possesses important advantages. It is produced for a mass audience, can be seen in a great many places. In 1893 the world's first film studio was built by Thomas Edison in New Jersey. These films were called `moving pictures `.The first films were silent. The words of the actors appeared on cards, which were shown every twenty seconds or so. Suitable music was played during the film by an orchestra, or by one person on a piano. The golden age of the cinema began with the talkies in 1927 when the actors on film were able to talk for the first time. By 1930, all films were 'talkies', and many actors and directors

How genre and narrative makes meaning in ``The Black Dahlia`` When analyzing a film, people understand the movie is much more complicated than it seems. To make a difference, to give a meaning to the film, film-makers have used different visual and thematic features. There are macro features (genre, narrative) as well as micro features (mise en scene, cinematography) and they are linked together in many ways. I have chosen to analyse the closing sequence of ``The Black Dahlia``, directed by Brian de Palma, and I will focus on macro features in this essay. Brian de Palma is well known director, who is focused on noir area through his career
