Most noticeably, the use of dark lighting exemplifies the importance of relationships. In Edward Scissorhands, Edward was in a dark castle and was lonely until Peg takes him to her bright and lively house. The dark lighting showed Edward’s loneliness, however, the bright lighting of the town and Peg’s house showed how he was able to create a relationship with the town’s people, which he was unable to do previously in the tower. In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Wonka did not have a good relationship with his father, so the flashbacks of his childhood are in a darker light. The dark lighting in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Edward Scissorhands stresses the importance of relationships.…
Bladerunner, directed by Ridley Scott, focuses on one main issue: humanity. It is often said that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and it seems that Scott plays off of that in the closeup shots of the duplicate’s eyes as they are being tested. The main issue presented through the film is the controversy over whether or not the duplicates count as human. Scott’s use of lighting in the film is impeccable; predictive lighting, and the use of shadows really help add to the message of the film. On the technical side, the use of the chiaroscuro lighting technique and the addition of smoke made the set look and feel real when captured on camera. The water on the streets helped reflect the little light that was used back up, allowing the scenes to be shot at night without the detail of the street being lost. However, when looked at on a deeper level, the lighting techniques used helps add to the overall interpretation of the film.…
In both "Friday Night Lights,"by H. G. Bissinger, and "Quiet Strength," by Tony Dungy, their are two coaches who are very similar, yet very different in their own ways. In one coaches locker room you may find an aggressive, hostile written note. While in the other coaches locker room you'll find bibles. Both coaches have a winning mentality, how they go about winning though is a different story. The quite, calm, and faith first mentality of one coach, verse the loud, aggressive, in your face way of coaching from the other. These books though also have their own similarities. Such as how football can serve as a way out for people. How winning is important, and what it means to be a winner in life, and in the game. Then the differences, such…
Throughout the play "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare, the author uses light or the absence of light to enhance and/or contribute to the mood of a particular scene. As viewers watch Romeo and Juliet fall in love, the obstacles that complicate their unfair love become very obvious. Shakespeare uses light and dark images to add to the mood of his play. Usually in text and stories from the beginning of time, to modern-day, light would correspond with good, and dark with evil. Shakespeare on the other hand would often make dark imagery have a positive impact and light have a negative impact to add more visual depth depending on the scene and mood.…
For instance, in the scene where Cheech goes to the Lazy River, the lighting effects made the audience feel as if they were looking into the murky water. The cool colors of blue and gray gave the scene a dark and eerie mood. Lighting was also effective during the night club scenes in that it provided a feeling of temptation and lust. I think that it is important to note that the backdrop for this musical was very simple; therefore, the lighting is what made each scene realistic. In response to costumes, they were very 1929 New York like with some modern style.…
The most prominent theme of the novel highlights war. Doerr’s work of fiction uses physical symbols to showcase the effects of war on people, of resistance to oppression, and the effort of citizens trying to maintain normality, creating a whole better understanding for readers about the outcomes of war. Historians, philosophers, and writers alike can attest to the human struggle to follow a certain moral code; history shows a constant rift between what humans claim they should do and what they actually do. If this rift did not exist, many a crisis and war could be averted, but humanity would not be its beautifully flawed self. In the novel All the Light We Cannot See, Doerr is raved over for “masterfully and knowledgeably recreating the deprived civilian conditions of war-torn France and the strictly controlled lives of the military occupiers” (Hooper 23). However, the use of literary devices in the novel reflects a message deeper than that of just another war-time story. Doerr utilizes the war setting as a means of further exploring the nature of humanity in a distinct context. He does not define the characters by war; he defines the characters and gives them a war to respond…
Even through the darkest times in life, there is always light. Moreover, light brightens to overwhelm the darkness. In Night by Elie Wiesel and Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, a major conflict exists to which people are killed from their violent and inhuman actions. These conflict last for so long, seeming as if there will never be a resolution. However, the motif of light is presented as the thought to never give up for Eliezer, Romeo, and Juliet, in order to reach their goal of freedom or unity.…
To kill a Mockingbird is a novel written by Harper Lee in 1999; it narrates the story of a lawyer name Atticus, defending a innocent black man who is arrested. At the same time, The Lamp at Noon is a short story written by Sinclair Ross; it is a story of a couple and their baby living in a farm. One might think that these two works are quiet different, which is true, nevertheless, there are also similarities, all of which can be illustrated if one compares their themes in terms of gender discrimination against woman and man, sacrifice can improve a situation and nature destroys man.…
Lights and sound are to emphasize the content of the play. Without light and sound, the play would just be actors reciting words. The light and sound made the play more attractive. It was interesting and brought appeal to the audience. During the play, the light and sound helped distinguish between different scenes. As the ideas and scenes of Frankenstein changed the light changed. Also the sound depended on the scene. In darker themed scenes the lighting was dim but in happy themed scenes the lighting was bright. Also in darker themed scenes the sound was depressing, while in happy themed scenes the sound was uplifting.…
In technical terms, some physical quantity or strength is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source of that physical quantity. The physical law that describes this relationship is called the “inverse-square law”: the apparent intensity of a light source “I” is proportional to 1 divided by its distance squared.…

Materialized by the play of shadow and light in the mysterious garret, the opposition light/dark and its permutations provide the central motifs of the play. These motifs include: sight and blindness, ideal and vulgar, truth and lie. We should note its significance to Gregers's cause in particular. Unlike his near-blind father, Gregers believes that he "sees his mission in life," despite Werle's warning that he only looks through his sickly mother's "clouded eyes". Gregers is intent on bringing the "light of transfiguration" fails to shine forth from the couple after their confrontation. This light is the light of redemption according to the rigid claims of the ideal. Hialmar should rejoice in making himself noble and raise his wife to his own exalted level. As Relling will argue in the subsequent act, Gregers's fantasy of Hialmar as a "shining light" among men marks his neurosis: a disease of hero-worship and romantic idealization.…
The bean was seen and reflected from 10~40 degrees by 10 degrees interval from left and right. In this case, the plane of incidence is made by the incidence ray and reflection ray. The reflected ray is in the incidence plane.…
We have seen many more times that our street light were turned On even inday time also. This shows that we are wasting much power even it may be saved and supplied for any crop fields for several hours. Here in this project we had designed a simple and cost less circuit using 55 timer ic and LDR (light dependent resistor).…
