“The Shawshank Redemption” uses a very unique style of cinematography in order to capture the audience‚ with each film technique having a purpose to fulfill. The part of the movie that will be discussed is the scene where the main character “Andy” breaks out of the prison.

called a push pull. The Push pull would make the foreground steady while the background moves closer. This would cause the audience to pay attention to certain parts in the movie or to feel distorted. The main example of this one would be when in "Vertigo" James Stewart looks down.

The poem ‘The Patriot’ is based on a man who has worked and fought for his country‚ which is clear in the title of the poem. The poem goes on to say that the public have not understood his intensions and they have punished him with the sentence to death.

Poetry Explication Just as poetry is a permanent mark of feelings that last forever on paper‚ tattoos are permanent symbols that last forever on the skin. Tattoos and poetry can easily be combined such as in Kim Addonizio’s sonnet‚ “First Poem for You‚” the speaker admires her partner’s nature themed tattoos in a darkened room.

In Twain’s “Two ways of seeing a River‚” he uses sensory imagery to describe his change of view on his once great river; however‚ in Harrison’s “In the Trenches‚” he effectively uses multiple types of sensory imagery to show the wartime life of the narrator

How does neil Marshall use cinematography and lighting to demonstrate symbolism and intertextual references in The Descent? In this essay I’m going to write about how elements of lighting and cinematography are used to build suspense throughout the film. The Descent is about six women who embark on a caving expedition‚ only to find that they become trapped inside of the cave and must defend themselves against a strange breed of monsters that lurk in the dark shadows of the cave.

In the first scene‚ medium close-up shot of a teenage girl as she talks about her disappointment in her father and that she pitys him; suggesting almost sarcastically that someone should ’put him out of his misery’ ‚another male out of shot suggests that maybe he could kill her father himself. This first establishing scene sets up the film and brings up the question why does she want her father dead‚ and does this male out of shot end up actually killing her father.
