CAPTAIN FANTASTIC: Issues and ideologies

In 'the bill of rights' scene, the social issue of homeschooling is raised. This examination of a homeschool family is so unique that it’s difficult to classify. Although the Cash family is very different from most real-life homeschoolers, many aspects of their curriculum are comparable to educational approaches adopted by homeschoolers across the country and it is clear that the children are intellectually far advanced for their age. In this scene, the kids are questioned on the bill of rights - when a relative questioning Ben’s parenting methods children mumble inane responses, but Ben’s 8-year old son can recite the text verbatim, and even give his own analysis of the document’s meaning and importance, we are, as the audience encouraged to side with Ben's view through the dialogue as it seems that he is more successful in his teachings.

CASABLANCA: Intro to rick's bar scene analysis

At the beginning of the scene, we are shown the entrance to rick's cafe which is more lively and lit up which shows the contrast between day and night. There is a spotlight over the doors to the cafe which suggests to the audience that it is where the main action takes place and that it is allude to the potential of clandestine activity.

Buster Keaton 'One week' and 'The scarecrow' analysis

One week meaning is created in the frame itself, rather than through editing or cuts editing is extremely minimal, as invisible as possible, only present when completely necessary editing used is all for functional purposes rather than to create meaning; for example the opening shot cuts briefly to a close up of a new character before cutting to another long take of them getting in the car. so used to advance the plot rather than have an effect on how the audience view the events. the framing fits the size of the joke, mostly wide shots to show all the action happening, closest shot is the medium shot towards the end majority of, if not all Keaton's emotions and expressions are expressed through exaggerated body language and movement  size contrast is as a comedic effect - Keatons small stature is used to an advantage vs tall fatty man Keaton uses several silent comedy conventions - stuns, falls, special effects, chase sequences, set design, using mis en scene for jokes breaks 4th...
