Swimmer (Ramsay, 2012)

Sound 

the heavy bass helps to create an uncomfortable on edge feeling 

the way the music speeds up helps to build tension 

the use of sharp and loud music makes the spectator feel uncomfortable and as though they are in the water 

The angelic music with the children singing in the background helps to create this safe and happy environment 

the sound of the water is relaxing and the music in the background is happy music giving the spectator a feeling of having a good time 

The music and black and white help to set up the time frame as quite old 

the high pitch noise creates uncomforted feel

the drums and fast singing helps the audience feel dazed this also works with the editing 

the eyry music helps give the film a thriller feel 

the echoes and high pitched birds gives a threatening and unsafe feel 

the sound is intense as it cuts from walking to swimming with a mixture of all different noises such as the police siren 

The use of the man speaking and not seeing him helps to draw all focus on the swimmer and to give the spectator an easier image to follow 

the classical music helps to create a feel as though he is celebrating or achieving something 

all the different sounds help to show how genreless the film is 

deep underwater the music is intense and scary to show the deep dark side of him 

the river seems calm on top but the deeper you go it is rough and jagged

    Same comment for The Grandmother - you've got some bullet points here that you could easily sequence into a paragraph.

 Pulp fiction (Tarantino, 1994) Close study of single film  Key elements of film form  context representation  Experimental film - additional specialist area  Key features - Fragmented narrative and narrative structures  - Experimental cinema encompasses a range of film  forms within this category, directors and films  - not all films within this category have all features  - resist cohesive narrative style - deliberately  Poses many challenges for the spectator who must work hard to put the overall narrative together  Often beginnings and endings are enigmatic - beginnings picking up from previous moments unknown to the spectator  Endings not leaving moral clarity or 'resolution'  Narrative  - At the extreme level experimental film can be a series of isolated 'moments' often impressions - like a painting  - it will be empty of a conventional plot and story  - It will resist creating characters with whom the spectator mat engage at any level  - Creating meaning will be

city of god essay

  Explore how performance and mise-en-scene are used to enrich meaning in  City of god.  Make detailed reference to particular sequences in your answer.

The use of colours and lighting do this as it is heavily based on the colour yellow which is connoted with happiness, loyalty and honour. This presents the tender trio made up of shaggy, clipper and Goose, they all represent the loyalty they have to their people also living in the favela as when they rob the truck the audience still views them positively as they give to the people of the favela. The performance further emphasises this as when they go to play football with the younger children the reactions showed by them further portrays them as good and genuine people who care for their community. They are all tal
