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

Music Video Analysis - Kendrick Lamar - Alright

  Analysis of song  Analysis of video Kendrick Lamar depicts the tale of the harsh reality that bear upon black people within many parts of America. To themes of black struggle and love and to what feels like a never ending with the police, these are the many themes that is used within alright video.  Introduction Within the beginning of the video, Lamar uses the establishing shot of the Oakland-Bay bridge as a framework for the subsequent visuals and messages — entirely in monochrome to contrast “black” and “white” — and messages; he also uses the establishing shot as a microcosm for American society as we explore the meaning of what it is to be black in America — contextualized by Lamar's narrative — and how he copes with his racial identity. For the next minute and a half, images of an apocalyptic Oakland are shown to the viewer in a way that suggests the end is near — a belief that Kendrick Lamar completely shares. Among these images is one of three people standing a...

Jacques Lacan Theory of Lack

 Jacques Lacan theory of lack is concept that always relates to desire. lack being the thing that drives our desires.  L acan first designated a lack of  being : what is desired is being itself. "Desire is a relation to being to lack. The lack is the lack of being properly speaking. It is not the lack of this or that, but lack of being whereby the being exists" (Seminar:  The Ego in Freud's Theory and in the Technique of Psychoanalysis ).

Analysing Promotional Video - Meet iPhone 12

Analysing Promotional Video - Meet iPhone 12  Context within apple commercials, the main focus within them are to promote and sell their products to the audience and do this by showing their products in various aspects of life. In this iPhone 12 advert this is exactly what has been done here. As you cans see within the advert, the phone is being used in different day-to-day scenarios that are relatable to an audience. For example, to show the speed of the phone the footage of real life is slowed and the phone speed is normal to show in a hyperbolic way that the phone is faster than life. Such hyperbolic creative shots like this is what makes the advert memorable to an audience. This is something i want to incorporate into my work  as this is a very efficient way to market a product.  Sound Non-Diegetic:   An upbeat soundtrack can be heard to match the pacing of the video. This can also be in relation to the speed of the phone. a gust of wind can be heard when the pho...
