The Conclusion of Malcom Crowe The Sixth Sense is a horror film released on August 6, 1999 by director M. Night Shyamalan. It talks about a boy name Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment) who is able to see and talk to people from the dead and child psychiatrist Malcom Crowe tries to help him. Throughout the movie there were abundance of scenes that made the movie memorable for the audience. One scene I found very intriguing was at the end when Malcom learned that he is dead. There were so many editing techniques that were used during the scene which ties everything for the audience to understand. Without analyzing the conclusion of the movie, it would made the ending really awkward for the audience to understand. Flash-back is one of the techniques that was a big impact in the movie. Flash-back is known as, “An editing technique that suggests the interruption of the present by a shot or series of shot representing the past” (Giannetti, 2014, p. 523). Flashback is used throughout the three minute clip, this enabled the audience to understand that Malcom is dead and why his wife was ignoring …show more content…
If a film does a close-up on a person, they usually show the person’s head. When Malcom started to picture himself that he is actually dead, cameras did a close-up on his head. Audience could see that Malcom is in utter shock. Some of the things the audience could notice is that his eyes are still staring at the direction of the ring. His breathing was not normal than usual, he was breathing like he was in a panic. Not only had they done a close- up on objects. The object is the wedding ring. As Anna dropped the wedding ring, you see the ring rolling. As the ring is rolling, it is getting closer and closer to the camera. This shows that the prop is significant object in the movie. Without the close-up it would have led to the audience being distracted and not focus on the
Ken Kesey's award-winning novel, "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest", was adapted into a film in 1975 written and directed by New York City native Bo Goldman and Czech director Milos Forman. Towards the end of the novel and film, Chief Bromden escapes from the ward. This scene is conveyed differently in the novel and film; however, there are evident similarities between each form of media. This scene is important to the plot because it wraps up the entire storyline. In the film and novel, similarities within Chief Bromden’s escape from the ward include the way Chief escaped, how he couldn't hear anyone in the ward due to being deaf, and how McMurphy assisted Bromden with gaining his confidence to lift the panel and throw it through the window. McMurphy essentially changed Bromden to help him break out of the asylum and back into the real world.
Stanley Kubrick was one of the first people to make great use of the extreme wide-angle lenses so tremendous that the lenses cause some sort of barrel distortion. For Example, in the A Clockwork Orange, is a great example of how Kubrick uses the wide-angle lenses. The lenses were used in both dolly handheld shots. The wide-angle lenses were very consistent and steady with the tone of the movie all together. His camerawork was something people should really resemble off of. The camerawork really makes a big
S. E. Hinton’s argument is given from the perspective of a 14 year old Greaser named Pony boy Curtis who is being raised by his older brothers Darrel and Soda pop. The theme of the Outsiders is no matter what side you may grow up on whether you are a Greaser or a Socs, that you all can still have the same problems, see the same solutions, and dream the same dreams. You are also able to see how his character grows up and matures during the various interactions throughout this book. The two gangs in the book are the Greasers and the Socs (socials) and honestly, even after reading the book the only reason they didn’t like each other is they both had assumptions about each other that really weren’t correct.
When any book is made into a movie, one of the most difficult tasks is interpreting the visual aspects, and viewers are often disappointed by the result as it is not how they imagined it while reading the book. While the “All Quiet on the Western Front” novel was limited only by the reader's imagination, The movie's action scenes were anything but realistic and the special effects did not stand the test of time as modern films contain much more sophisticated special effects... While movies should never be judged by special effects alone, the film was certainly not enhanced by them. In fact modern audiences might even consider the effects as humorous which was certainly not the intention.
Anticipation, suspense, tension, excitement - these words come to mind when we think of the genre, Thriller. According to The Script Lab, thriller’s aim is “to keep the audience alert and on the edge of their seats” (Buffam, 2015).

Director Christopher Nolan′s film Memento (2000), is loosely based from the concept of a short story named Memento Mori written by his brother Jonathan. This story is about a man named Leonard Shelby who is suffering from anterograde amnesia, which is a loss of ability to create new memories after the event that caused the amnesia, leading to a partial or complete inability to recall the recent past, while long term memories from before the event remain intact. Leonard was hit over the head during an attack which resulted in his wife being raped and murdered. With the help of contact named Teddy and a bartender named Natalie, Leonard set out for revenge. Since the attack Leonard has set out to exact revenge on the man who has caused him suffering. He helps himself by writing notes, taking photographs, and tattooing himself with important notes and facts. An analysis of the film Memento reveals the use of film techniques such as editing, non-linear storytelling, symbolism, director's style, musical score, color, and cinematography that creates an intellectual stimulant that has the viewer deciphering a puzzle in a reversed chronological order.
...comes when James is introduced. During the freeze Henry’s voice-over explains who James is. Again, in this situation the freeze-frame was used to establish a pivotal point in the film, since James is a major character. Zoom shots were used throughout the film to show characters emotions. One example is a zoom shot on Henry’s daughter when Karen and Henry get into an argument and Henry storms out the house. The camera zooms in on his daughters face so the audience gets an idea of whom these actions affect.
The novella, The Body, written by Stephen King is quintessential for portraying the overarching coming of age theme, however within this theme a more specific theme of innocence vs. experience is present. This theme can be seen within the book’s plot, symbols, and Chris Chamber’s character. Taking a look at the historical time period of when this novella was written, and taking a look at the biographical history of Stephen King himself helps the reader to understand why this particular approach to the theme was chosen. The novella itself travels with four young boys as they begin their journey in search of a dead body, and along the way they not only discover the cruelty of the real world, but they also face the cruelty that can be see within
Society is a result of our interactions, and society guides our interactions. This all stems from social construction. Social construction conveys values, ideas and traditions. These values, ideals and traditions are created and become traditions that are then passed on. These traditions then come to be perceived as natural rather than cultural, which is often how media will display it and society unknowingly accepts.
