master of suspense

Alfred Hitchcock is known as the master of suspense because he can attract an audience like no other director could. The audience knows that they are safe even if they throw things at them, and know that nothing will hurt them. He wants emotion to be used in his film and wants to build emotion that the audience gets involved with. Wide shots have less emotion and close-ups means more emotion. These techniques were also used in "Rear Window" when they see the man keep hiding things under his bed and the ring was a major moment in the movie because we were all trying to figure out why the ring was with him and not ms. Thorwall.

The Showdown

In the Final Showdown, Sergio Leone uses close-ups and switches the camera to the view of the good, the bad, and the ugly.It builds suspense in the last part of the scene. The music is used to show desperation and suspense in the final showdown. He reinvents the western device because he uses the showdown like other old western movies.

Evolution of the Western

Western movies have changed over time because the old western movies were just based on talking, and now they have a lot more action in the present western movies. Movies back then were based on japanese samurai movies. It affects the world and the U.S. because it influences other countries to make movies like it.

reinventing the western

Westerns are formerly known as cowboys, gunslingers, and bounty hunters, that usually wear hats or bandanas and shoot revolvers or rifles. The man who shot liberty valence was a western because they were cowboys and were located in the west. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is shot in northern Italy and has more action and realism.

film clips

In the dragon ball z movie they used alot of panning and close-ups. They also used some lighting techniques to bring up the color of there faces.

In roshomon the film techniques are a bunch of close-ups. Also he does fast-cuts to build more suspense. Also used mise-en-scene.

film festival reflection

The movie "cost of a soul" was great. The plot was really good but there was a lot of killing but it all seemed reasonable at the end. It does relate to the movies and film techniques that we have been using in class. Like method acting and and sound editing. The only thing that i believe can be improved is getting rid of the briefcase maybe.

dogme 95

The rules of Dogme are that simple is better. You don't always have to have spend millions and millions of dollars like hollywood does. The similarities between dogme and italian neo-realism is that they both didn't need that much money to make these kind of movies.

italian neorealism

Italian realism originated from world warII and were done by film critics because people were so against the war that they made films that represented politics the way the world was back then. They did this because they didn't want to get into trouble with the government.

iranian cinema

The main things that make Iranian cinema unique is that most film is very poor and the streets are all run down. The Iranian directors use unbelievable tracking shots in their movies. They sometimes use close-up views of the characters faces also.
