The films, The Thin Blue Line and Cloverfield are both alike and dissimilar in different film aesthetics. The aesthetics that are presented to the film’s viewers vary in many ways ranging from the type of camera used to the lighting in the films. Despite the differences both films present truths about the world using aesthetics. I think these certain aspects helps the audience give a full, undivided attention to what is currently happening in the movie. When the movie has our full attention that
affordable and easy-to-use animation and compositing software. From even its earliest days, films have used visual magic ("smoke and mirrors") to produce illusions and trick effects that have startled audiences. In fact, the phenomenon of persistence of vision (it
Has anyone ever thought where is the mother in most animated films? Think about it, most mothers in these films have passed away or have died at the end of the film. Now that this thought is circulating, does this lack of mothers in these movies hurt or handicap girls? To me, I feel that women that are not in animated films might hurt girl’s views of women at an early age. Children watch animated films at a time when they mimic what they see. Boys have father figures to show them the right way to
The movie production, ‘The Prince of Egypt’ is quite inaccurate when contrasted to the story of Moses in the Bible. The motion picture was created in 1998 by DreamWorks™ Pictures, about Moses, the prophet, growing up, and leading the Israelites out of Egypt. The animation and the biblical narrative vary between each other in many ways. The three main areas where the differences are shown clearly is in the location, the characters, and the storyline. Consequently, the video production is not accurate
If you are looking for a quality animated movie about a princess, or a girl wanting to find love, looking for it in the 1994 Don Bluth film Thumbelina is - like the word the titular character constantly uses - impossible. In fact, the film Thumbelina is the reason why princess films need to be done by Disney and only Disney. While the film had great animation, the writing of this film was anything but great. You know someone should have gotten fired from the writing team when Samson and Delilah and
More, directed by Mark Osborne, is a stop motion film that came out in 1998. The story follows an inventor in a city that is dominated by the product “get happy”.

Ratatouille, a film directed by Brad Bird, tells the story of a rat who realizes his dream of becoming a chef when he stumbles into an opportunity to cook in a prestigious French restaurant. On its face, Ratatouille may appear to be a shallow film that does not advance any complex themes. However, the film adds to the dialogue about who possess culture and who should receive the opportunity to create art within a culture. Ratatouille establishes that it is desirable for individuals to be given the

Animated family comedy movies usually follow a cliched plot involving a happy-go-lucky hero who has an adventure which involves defeating an evil villain, and living heppily ever after. Despite being shamelessly predictable and ridiculously simple, they are fun to watch and are favorites of many people. But what if we change the plot drastically, what if we destroyed the fun and jolly atmosphere of the movie, what if the hero is a character so grim and evil, despicable becomes an understatement?
The 1979 low-budget short The Wizard of Speed and Time began life as a three-minute demo reel that Mike Jittlov made for two producers from The Walt Disney Studio, and like virtually all of his work before and since, it was made on a shoestring budget in Jittlov's home garage using a multiplane animation table that he built himself for $200. In the mid-70s, Jittlov was a math/language major at UCLA, but he'd taken an animation course to satisfy an art requirement in order to graduate, and that's

In the making of the film “Gattaca”, the director Andrew Niccole has used the film technique: camera angles to represent the theme of the film. The definition of camera angles is the position of the camera to allow the viewer to understand the relationships between the characters. I found this definition by searching on the internet and comparing the definition in the dictionary. The way that the director has manipulated the camera angle to represent the theme is more unique than I have ever seen
