Exam question: Compare the attributes to poverty conveyed in the films you have studied for this topic [35]

The scene I will be talking about is after Said, Vinz and Hubert have just been told to get off the roof. They then go to sit in the park that is in the projects, this playground is lower than the street, like a bear pit/ enclosure. This scene shows that they don't leave to get stuff done or get decent jobs. They just hang around the projects talking to each other, wasting time. To show this the the screen fades to white quite quickly and then fades back. This is used to show time passing. they are positioned to how Said in the middle as Vinz and Hubert  After the flash of white it goes straight into a conversation between the three of them about how Said had sex with someone, 'bigging' himself up to seem more masculine, this is the second time one of the three have 'bigged' them selves up.

List

What makes Spielberg films so emotional, could it be the music of John Williams. Could this be an Auteur signature?  Focus Film 1) E.T.

It is very well known for its two note shark attack. The first scene of the film is the scene I will be analysing as it sets up the film as it introduces the shark and makes the audience connote the track with the shark. I will be analysing the opening of the film. 3) The B.F.G. (2016) This film contrasts Jaws, to show the range of work and if his 'signature' passes through all of hi...

Presentation Script

What makes Spielberg films so emotional, could it be the music of John Williams. Could this be an Auteur signature?  Speaker: My three films are E.T. the extra terrestrial, Jaws and The B.F.G. which are all prime examples of Spielberg films that have been composed by John Williams. In this presentation I will discuss if these 'classics' are so emotion filled due to the music composed by John Williams. In all of these films there is a piece that is recognisable and is connoted to the films. my focus film is E.T. the extra terrestrial, the scene that is the most memorable is when the government chases Elliot and E.T. and passes in front of the moon.                                                                                                 ...
