Analysis Of Fallen angels

 



During the production of Chungking express, wong kar wai wanted to originally create a third storyline to portray hong kong however due to time complications he was unable thus leading to the creation of wong kar wais 5th Film fallen angels. to me, I believe that fallen angels can be seen as a love letter towards hong kong as it critics the atmosphere that the city had over the period when great Britain had handed over the rule of the region to mainland China. themes of loss and remembrance play a major role within this film to depict the life he saw hong kong would soon lead due to the events at the time. Similar to the production of chunking express, the film was produced over a short period with the script being written in the morning and shooting in the night. stylistic features are that a majority of this film is shot with a wide-angle lens to emphasize the sensation seen within the characters throughout the film. fallen angels, compared to its predecessor, takes a more minimalistic and experimental approach to the film with at first screening audiences would be highly confused. he creates a dream-like atmosphere with various different personalities in a densely populated and overwhelming hong kong. a personal favorite scene within this film is when a character solemnly talks about the passing of his father. as the scene progresses you can see him reminiscing upon memories he had with his father. this scene alone represents wong feelings upon hong kong

Research Into The Development of Editing

Early Editing  In the present day, editing in film has various purposes: it aids in the telling of a storey, it creates a mood or atmosphere, and it contributes to the overall success of a film or video. Short films used to be one lengthy, static shot in the beginning. Early filmmakers were afraid of combining multiple shots of different items taken from different perspectives and locations because they feared it would confuse an audience. In the early 1900s, the first films with some type of editing were made. Edwin S.

Griffiths, Eisenstein, and Kuleshov are among the most well-known film experimenters. D. W. Griffiths is regarded as the founder of narrative cinema; he pioneered techniques such as parallel editing, which allowed him to push his films to new heights of intricacy. Griffith's films were highly valued by Soviet directors such ...

Analysis of Kanye West Stronger.

  Kanye West's music video demonstrates the general codes and conventions of a standardised rap music video, for example he wears expensive jewellery and visuals of fast cars and women to be gazed upon. Something that Kanye West is no secret too, however this music video happens to have many intertextual references to the 1988 film Akira. This can be seen in the visuals of him being scanned by some sort of machine which is also seen in the film Akira. The video also has direct links to the lyrics. This can be seen where the song plays the sample of the "harder better faster"  by Daft Punk by showing Daft Punk within the video. Another example of this is where Kanye West says "i know god put you in front of me" and he looks directly at the female interest in the video. The song has a futuristic feel which may be the reason which may be the reason why he chose to include the intertextual references of Akira. Although i believe Kanye had a lot of says in the video,...
