If there is one thing that is accurate about films, it is that they are loved by an innumerable amount of people around the world. Because of the numerous kinds of films and all the different languages they are available in, it is not difficult for one to find a film that they enjoy watching. However, most people do not understand all the parts that form a film. In Run Boy Run the plot, the cinematography, the acting, the directing, and the different symbols all come together to form a heart wrenching, inspiring film. One the dominate parts of a film is the plot. The main plot of Run Boy Run consists of a young, Jewish boy by the name of Srulik Frydman. Him and his family reside in the Warsaw Ghetto in Poland, which had been invaded by the …show more content…
In short, cinematography is the art of making motion pictures; which includes the photographic and electric aspects of making images. Filmmakers use cinematography for many reasons, such as: producing emotion, telling a story, giving off a specific look, and making characters. In the film Run Boy Run, the cinematography absolutely stimulated much emotion. For example, in the parts of the movie that Srulik was freezing and ravenous with chapped skin and a limp in his walk, the lighting is dark and hazy. On the other hand, in a scene in which Sruilk is dreaming about being reunited with his dear mother again, the lighting is brilliant and golden. The darker, hazier lighting evokes a melancholy emotion from viewers, while the brilliant, golden lighting evokes a cheerful emotion from viewers. Another example of the cinematography evoking emotion is through camera movement. Whenever Srulik is staggering toward Magda’s house, cameras captured each angle so viewers could see just how pitiful and ill he was. Then, when he finally gets to her house, Srulik passes out, and the camera cuts off to go along with …show more content…
Acting, of course, is crucial to a film. If the acting in a film is unsatisfactory, then typically the film is too. In Run Boy Run, the acting is suburb. The actors did such an outstanding job that while watching the movie, it was almost as if I could feel what the actors were acting out. During the scene when Srulik’s hand got stuck in the gears of the windmill, his screams were so agonizingly real that I winced and had to turn my head. Alongside that, the chemistry between the characters felt genuine. The way Magda treats Srulik is similar to the way a mother treats a son. She cares for him so tenderly and passionately that it feels authentic to viewers. The relationship between Srulik and his friend Alina is another relationship that has chemistry in the film. Whenever they first meet, it is easily detectable that they will be friends, for as he tells her his ‘history’ (his made-up story about losing his parents and his arm) she believes and hangs on to every word. And, when they are forced to say their final goodbyes, I could feel the broken heartedness in the both of them. Another part of a film is directing. Directing is the containment of the production of a film. Directing is where the auteur theory comes into play. The auteur theory states that the director is the author of a film. While this might be true, Run Boy Run is based off events that happened in one man’s
In the film industry, there are directors who merely take someone else’s vision and express it in their own way on film, then there are those who take their own visions and use any means necessary to express their visions on film. The latter of these two types of directors are called auteurs. Not only do auteurs write the scripts from elements that they know and love in life, but they direct, produce, and sometimes act in their films as well. Three prime examples of these auteurs are: Kevin Smith, Spike Lee and Alfred Hitchcock.
The auteur theory is a view on filmmaking that consists of three equally important premises: technical competence, interior meaning, and personal signature of the director. Auteur is a French word for author. The auteur theory was developed by Andrew Sarris, a well-known American film critic. Technical competence of the Auteur deals with how the director films the movie in their own style. Personal signature includes recurring themes that are present within the director’s line of work with characteristics of style, which serve as a signature. The third and ultimate premise of the Auteur theory is the interior meaning which is basically the main theme behind the film.
The movie Cool Runnings is about a Jamaican bobsled team of four men, Derice, Sanka, Junior, and Yul, going to Winter Olympics in Calgary, Canada. This movie based on a real story of the first Jamaican bobsled team in 1988. The movie tells the story of the event even though there are some things happened in the movie which did not happen in the real story and some other things happened in the real story which did not appear in the movie (Fleming 2008). However, the movie is very emotional and funny, and it gives the general idea of the Jamaican Bobsleigh Team.
Run Lola Run (1998) as a film has several interesting and inter-related elements within its storytelling which come together to produce and interesting piece, such as the mise-en-scene of the movie, the butterfly effect and the interesting camera choices used.
Mac and Dennis are driving home. As they are driving they hear the radio from the car that a disease was spreading the city.

They called one more time and Mac’s parent were vomiting. Dennie’s parents had really bad headaches.
There is a fine line between a good quality feel-good film and a film that tries way, way too hard to be lovable. Take for instance a film like Cool Runnings – a true story depicting the events that led to the unlikely creation of a Jamaican bobsled team. It had heart, charismatic characters, and John Candy. It tugged at your heart strings by sending a message that dreams can come true – and it made you want to laugh, cry, and even try bobsledding.
To view a movie, one must first produce a movie, and with producing a movie you have to make sure to have all the right pieces to create it correctly and well. Each movie has its own style and its own way of doing things, but in the end there is always a process that at its core follows the same pattern and the same way of doing something. In production there are necessary steps to follow and actions to carry out. It is a combined force that the notion of auteur theory doesn't hold true. Auteur theory is the theory that for some films there is a singular person or artist that is the driving force for the whole creative work, which in this case would be a movie.
...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.
