“You true and tender souls who blame the fancy free cease your bitter plaints in dalliance is no iniquity.For if love has wings it is to soar in liberty.” Renoir’s 1939 classic La Régle du Jeu breaks the ice with these profound lines floating gently on a steady black backdrop with an overwhelming use of bursting Nashik dhol and synthesizers for the background score.The synthesizer imitating the flute on a loopy stretch of the song “O menu pyaar kardi hai” adjusts itself with the opening shot of a guy tweaking something on a transmitter and an unwinding long loop of wire held by a radio journalist on one end.The entire length of the shot makes you experience the length of the wire loop and the space in which the journalist is moving linearly. While the soundtrack …show more content…
Throughout the frames Renoir gives the viewers a sense of a space in different geometries of squares and circles.The camera floats between the rooms of the grand mansion and the loud enchanting soundtrack of dhol seems to be juxtaposed over just the way he juxtaposes a character in the background performing an action deeply influencing the character in the front.Towards the mid in the hunting scene Renoir makes the user experience the space in bits and pieces by cutting the shots very rapidly.The
Jeanne de Jussie, a dedicated Catholic nun, recorded events that took place in Geneva during the Reformation as the official chronicler for the Saint Clare convent. Although littered with biases, Jeanne de Jussie’s experiences reflect broader trends during the Reformation; therefore, The Short Chronicle is a valid source and not merely a personal attack against the Protestants. Her experiences and beliefs, including those concerning celibacy, reflected those of many members of the Catholic Church during the Reformation. Also, her categorization of Protestants as ‘heretics’ was consistent with the practices of the Catholic Church. Although biased, her fears about Protestant views on celibacy and marriage were legitimate and consistent with

...tion of both methods can be used to show France’s idea of what love is. Patrick John Ireland argued that France’s idea of love “is a human force controlled by man with great difficulty; it is a spontaneous, natural, and all-consuming power, the experience of which leads to an almost blind passion at times” (133). To be in love, one must be entirely devoted and passionate to one another to the point of blind passion. This is so for Yonec (the Princess jumps out of the tower) and Lanval (Lanval’s complete rejection of the human world until he is brought into the world of his lover). Not only does France portray love as natural and all-consuming, but also shows the private and unearthly nature of love that cannot be contained to the realm of the human world. Rather, love transcends the boundaries of the human world and enters into a world where love reigns supreme.
When an emotion is believed to embody all that brings bliss, serenity, effervescence, and even benevolence, although one may believe its encompassing nature to allow for generalizations and existence virtually everywhere, surprisingly, directly outside the area love covers lies the very antithesis of love: hate, which in all its forms, has the potential to bring pain and destruction. Is it not for this very reason, this confusion, that suicide bombings and other acts of violence and devastation are committed in the name of love? In Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon, the reader experiences this tenuity that is the line separating love and hate in many different forms and on many different levelsto the extent that the line between the two begins to blur and become indistinguishable. Seen through Ruth's incestuous love, Milkman and Hagar's relationship, and Guitar's love for African-Americans, if love causes destruction, that emotion is not true love; in essence, such destructive qualities of "love" only transpire when the illusion of love is discovered and reality characterizes the emotion to be a parasite of love, such as obsession or infatuation, something that resembles love but merely inflicts pain on the lover.
The Lais of Marie de France is a compilation of short stories that delineate situations where love is just. Love is presented as a complex emotion and is portrayed as positive, while at other times, it is portrayed as negative. The author varies on whether or not love is favorable as is expressed by the outcomes of the characters in the story, such as lovers dying or being banished from the city. To demonstrate, the author weaves stories that exhibit binaries of love. Two distinct types of love are described: selfish and selfless. Love is selfish when a person leaves their current partner for another due to covetous reasons. Contrarily, selfless love occurs when a lover leaves to be in a superior relationship. The stark contrast between the types of love can be analyzed to derive a universal truth about love.

During the beginning of the film “Sherlock Jr”, there are multiple cut shots when he is trying to buy a portrait from the store lady.This scene shows continuity due to the fact that this is an eyeline match shot between Sherlock and the portrait. This scene establishes the setting Sherlock and the other characters occupy. The portrait also indicates that there is a graphic match towards the store lady and the portrait in the next upcoming shots. This also contributes to continuity because they both share the same pose, facial expression indicating the resemblance and establish that there is not a change between time and space.This scene also presents rhythmic relation that connects the shots together. This is to link the shots together in a format that relates to Sherlock’s hopes and coordinates with the music tempo. The shots decrease in time in order to represent the anticipation of the outcome, still contributing to the continuity.
...successful collaboration of sound, colour, camera positioning and lighting are instrumental in portraying these themes. The techniques used heighten the suspense, drama and mood of each scene and enhance the film in order to convey to the spectator the intended messages.
Both in Shakespeare’s times and in modern day, “the course of true love never did run smooth”(28) is an idea that proves itself again and again. Works Cited A Midsummer Night's Dream The Fault in Our Stars
The “Weapon of Choice” video begins with a normal middle-aged man, Walken, sitting in a hotel lobby. Once the music fades in, the scene comes to life with motion. From then on all rules of expectation are broken. As Michael Abernethy notes, “It is a fantasy many of us have had, to dance abandon in an environment that screams for civilized behavior”(1). This scene, although not impossible in our everyday lives, is very rare. Once Walken takes his hoofing steps right on out to the balcony and into mid-air this is when the camera begins to works its magic. The camera enables the character to bound across the screen and back again, which gives Walken an unexpected power. The simple concept of fantastically and unexpectedly losing control in a civilized environment is shown in a complex and artistic manner.
The package begins with quick detailed shots showing scenes of a city. Accompanying these shots are sound bites and the quick cuts between the clips makes the viewer feel as though the entire sequence is chaotic. These fast shots in the beginning serve to compress time in an effective manner as the entire sequence only takes a few seconds total, but there are several clips in the sequence. The cuts then become slower as the sequences become more focused on nature in an effort to highlight the tranquility and peaceful sounds of the natural world. The shots however, are still faster than what a normal video would be and it’s because the creator is simply using the visuals to allow the viewer to recognize what the sounds are. Throughout the entire package, the focus is entirely on the sound bites and the video clips serve only to make the sounds recognizable to the viewer. By doing these short clips and then making the clips longer when Hampton is talking, the viewer is able to see everything through Hampton’s point of view. Also, because the focus on sound rather than sight per say, the video is very unique because normally the focus of videos is on the actual images rather than the sound bites.
