Scene synopsis: In this scene, Lola finally gets the money from her father. Then she runs to deliver the money to the guy. On her way, she is interrupted by an orange truck. The orange truck ends up clashing to a big glass. Lola keeps on running to stop the guy before he enters the convenient store with a gun. When she arrives, she is early enough to stop the guy from entering the shop. The guy sees her, in relief, he looks at her haphazardly. Lola looks at him back. The gu…

As in many other movies a lot of the meaning and feelings in Run Lola Run comes from the editing more than the actual script. In the scene where Lola runs to get to her dad in time, Tom Tykwer uses devices such as fast and slow motion, split screens, jump cuts, photographs, animation and forward shifts to give his movie a frenetic rhythm. Instead of using long shots and few cuts which would create a tranquil mood Tykwer uses very short shots with many cuts to create a feeling of commotion. One o…

You're probably thinking "where is Joe's analysis?".
Well, there's no way for me to exclude the tardiness on this work other than that i am a lazy bum and never get my work done :) Anyways, here it is.
I chose to analyse the scene where the explanation for the money's disappearance is presented. When Lola and Manni are talking on the phone, talkin about how the deal went down, the director is constantly cutting to the past, showing what happened, to visualize Manni's words. Another effect that…

In Run Lola Run, In the opening scene of the movie there are some very interesting techniques used in order to get a certain reaction out of the viewer. directly after the credits the shot fades to a coo coo clock that is sped up, which is symbolic of the time methods used later in the film.Techno music blares in the background as the mouth of the coo coo clock opens and the camera tracks into the dark whole. The camera cuts to a high slightly front lighten area surrounded by fast moving silhoue…

The scene I have chosen is the sequence where Lola meets her dad and in that time, her dad tells her he is not actually her father.
As she runs towards her father's office, the music starts up again introducing the beat. The lighting is only from the top but there are glimpses of light from the side that brings about a shadow on one side of her body, adding to the central TONE of the movie: mysterious tone. The hallway is long and leads to some misfortune and the poor lighting of the hallway re…

The scene in “Run Lola Run”, in the very beginning starting with the phone call to her boyfriend, up until the point she starts to run I felt, conveyed a tone of urgency and helped build towards the theme of the movie. The movie has a theme that says something about how every little second counts, and how differently an outcome will play when you miss just a split second of an event.
First of all, you can feel the sense of urgency just in the background music playing. It has a very fast beat to…

The Scene which I have choose is where her boy friend is holding up the grocery store trying to get money. The tone is violent, and the theme plays along with what is happening in the story. The theme would be, 'Its a dog eat dog world, where people steal your money'. That is a personal theme which I think would fit with what is happening in this story. The lighting is a little poor, it is rather dark on the subject, her boy friend but for the captives it is light from the sides and from ontop.…

My daughter is a rising junior at Azusa Pacific University near Pasadena, Calif. During a course last year in film production, she was assigned to make a short film. She wrote it and directed. The assignment required that no dialogue be used to advance the plot.
Her school is offering a $1,000 scholarship to the student whose film gets the most 'Favorite' votes on YouTube. I am hoping that you might be willing to watch her film, hit that Favorite button, and maybe forward this to someone else w…

the film starts out with a long shot of a dark street. Someone is laying roses out on the street while the intro credits are shown, and then a car appears from one side of the street and runs over the roses.(all this during the forst shot) The length of this shot is very significant and it sets the mood of the film right away.
The next six shots show who is in the car. A couple is at the back seat in formal clothes (mid shot), and a young girl in black clothes is in the front seat(close up). Th…

color
Jeunet uses the colors green and red with yellow lighting throughout the film. This gives it a very warm, bright, and a somewhat childlike feeling.

This film is all about Amelie and how her actions affect the people's lives around her. The camera follows Amelie all the time- there are many close-ups of Amelie that shows her reaction towards what's happening.

The first twenty five shots of twilight are basically close ups, pan and tilt shots for chasing a deer in the forest. The director uses close ups to intensify the chase and each close up is around a second or two to make things faster and more suspenseful. Also because the camera, i dont think, can catch up fast enough with the deer for over 2 seconds. The first few shots are medium shots and each shot is around 5 seconds tilting the view of the forest and the sky. The director does this to esta…

The Hook
Diarios de Motocicleta was directed by Walter Salles and published in 2004. Before it begins to tell the story, it gives the viewers the quotation of Ernesto Guevara de la Serna, who is well known as revolutionaries, “This isn’t a tale of heroic feats. It’s about two lives running parallel for a while with common aspiration and similar dreams.” Moreover, as soon as this quotation disappears, Ernesto Guevara comes out and tells his plan about traveling South America. The quo…

The four choices the director made in "Step Up 2" were to emphasize the power of action through the use of music, lighting, settings, and props.
Most of the time the music was hip-hop stylish to follow the "style" of the movie. It created egocentrism where it made us think that dancing was a very important issue in the town. It had negative influence to the community, while it has its own reasons living on the streets - because they love it. Almost anytime when theres music, it actually literall…

Long shot with slow movement of left-to-right pan through the clouds and cross the valleys and Alps mountains illustrates Austria where the setting of The Sound of Music clearly, beautifully and peacefully.

The Hook
The story starts out immediately with a question; did the protagonist win because of cheating, destiny, honest, or all of the above? Then there is a dull, suspicious scene where a person gets slapped, but the screen suddenly turns into a jeopardy show where everyone is cheering – why did the person get tortured while he is standing in the center of the show smiling?
The Complication
With the torture scene continued, the protagonist is asked of why he, a slumdog, is winning over 10 mill…
