The Hobbit Book Vs Movie

In the Heat of the Night It is quite common for award winning books to be transformed into a movie. Readers are sparked with excitement, only to be disappointed by the results. They do not find themselves being able to have the same experience the felt whilst reading the text. They are let down and not satisfied by what the movie produced for them. There are also times when people assume that these films will always be identical to its book version so they refrain from actually reading the book.

This sense of hostility springs forth from the misconstrued view of literature being the superior art form among the two, extending to the apparent artistic inferiority of cinematic adaptations, which seemingly “betrays” its source material. But the idea of cinema as a potent and dynamic art

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug as well as The Hunger Games: Catching fire are two films that both belong to the genre of fantasy. The titles of each of the films are also very important as they identify and become synonymous with the film. Both films originate from novels of the same name, despite the similarity amongst both films; there are a number of differences in how both films were made. I will be presenting a number of analogies between both films, paying close attention to casting, costumes, make-up, sets, settings, gestures, facial expressions, movements and cinematographic effects. Film Study is a silent art; many watch films for the sole purpose of entertainment but very few wonder about the steps, planning and precautions taken in the developing of the film.

In this paper I hypothesize that A Voyage to the Moon was most innovative in cinematography and editing. Although mise en-scene was the main focus of the film, I hypothesize that mise en scene wasn’t as innovative as the other two. As mentioned earlier, mise en scene made A Voyage to the Moon easy to understand and follow along. In the first scene of the film, this power

When it comes to the portrayal of literary work, many people prefer movies over books. Even though they both have similar content, movies tend to add or switch up details of the story version. This is to either gain a broader audience or make more money off of the entertainment. One comparison I want to discuss is the story of, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, by Washington Irving and Tim Burton’s, Sleepy Hollow. There is a huge gap between the story, which came out in 1820 and the 1999 movie.

Battle to the Death: Cinema Vs. Novel Some of the best movies are based on books. One movie based on a book is The Hunger Games. While the movie is entertaining, it is very different from the book.

In the article, Eisenstein: ‘Intellectual Montage’, Poststructuralism, and Ideology’ written by Jason Lindop, he explains that montage can be seen as ‘a central concern in these works us how a series of images can, when correctly composed by the filmmaker and then interrupted by the viewer, produce and abstract concept not strictly present in each of the composite images.’ (Lindop, 2007). Intellectual montage is when we see different images that are different to each other but can be connected in the conveying of meaning and a metaphor that can be visually seen. In another article written about A Man with a Movie Camera, Eisenstein states its ‘different forms ‘Cinema of Attraction’ and experimented with a form of film editing which attempted to produce the greatest emotional response in a viewer by conflicting two different shots side created by juxtaposition.’ (“Man with the…”,

VII. Cinematic Device and Effects 1. Identify one example of each of the following shots and describe how the shot affected the presentation of the story told by the film: close-up, medium shot, long shot. -This is one example of close-up shot that is used in the film, the scene that the main character of the film is looking at herself at the mirror and think about what she gonna do to her life, it affects the presentation of the film because in close-up shot they only focus on one person or object that is important and the surroundings was blur. For medium shot there is a scene that the main character is practicing how to throw a knife, the medium shot affected the film in a way that we can see the whole scenario on the film but limited person

Interpretation is the defining element of the films’ placement within

This film. And this film is about--this film being made, which relies on Formalism. Crucially Vertov, disdained everyday observation: "Our eyes," he wrote, "see very poorly and very little the movie camera was invented to penetrate more deeply into the visible

Over the past century, film has served as a powerful means of communication to a global audience and has become a vital part of the contemporary culture in a world that is increasingly saturated by visual content. Due to the immediacy and the all-encompassing nature of film, the process of watching a film, is widely perceived to be a passive activity by the general masses. However, quoting Smith in his article about the study of film, “nothing could be further from the truth.” The study and understanding of film as an art form enhances the way we watch and appreciate films. It requires the audience's active participation and interaction with the film in order to fully comprehend the directors' intention behind every creative decision.

Film takes photography to another level. Film, or the cinema “is objectivity in time.” For the first time with film “the image of things is likewise the image of their duration, change mummified as it were”. Bazin argues "only the impassive lens, stripping its object of all those ways of seeing it, those piled- up preconceptions, that spiritual dust and grime with which my eyes have covered it, are able to present it in all its virginal purity to my attention and consequently to my love.

The cinematic language that we hear in modern day movies would not be as it is today if we hadn 't had synchronous sound recordings from the beginning of film. Cinematic Language is the systematic method by which movies communicate with the viewer. Some examples of cinematic language are, Mise-en-scène, camera angles, the use of long takes, & depth of field. Barthes theory of Expressionism, the use of lighting techniques, montage and elaborate props push to make The Wizard of Oz appear to be a spectacle of realism.

Furthermore, the shot styles between the films are reflective of each other. The extreme close-ups, slow moving camera, and mis-en-scene are impactful in creating atmosphere. In the third film, the slow moving camera takes on a presence rather than a character, which embodies the omens that are essential to the films

Film theory is a gathering of interpretative systems created after some time keeping in mind the end goal to see better the way movies are made and got. Film hypothesis is not an independent field: it acquires from the controls of logic, craftsmanship hypothesis, sociology, social hypothesis, brain science, artistic hypothesis, etymology, financial matters, and political science. Medium specificity: Early film scholars had two primary worries: to legitimize silver screen as a work of art and to recognize its one of a kind properties and impacts. Hugo Munsterberg and Rudolf Arnheim considered the (noiseless) film to be workmanship since it doesn 't only mechanically record reality yet rather changes the ordinary courses in which the human eye
