Synopsis

Our Short Story

The story begins at the train station and our main characters are facing each other on different platforms. The boy’s body language clearly indicates that he likes the girl, but she’s too immersed in her book to realise he’s even looking at her. A train then speeds past and blocks his view of her momentarily. When the train has gone, he goes to look at her once again but discovers that she’s moved on and accidentally left her book in the place she once sat. He keeps the book and returns it to the girl the following day, only this time the book has a note poking out of it with his number scrawled upon it.
Soon after this development, our girl is seen applying make-up in a fancy outfit which suggests she’s going out; her joyful and smiling disposition showing how excited she is to be finally meeting with the boy from the train station. On the walls of her room, pictures of females such as Courtney Love and Marilyn Monroe can be seen, and the lighting from her fairly lights creates a romantic atmosphere.
Despite the sweetness of this situation however, trouble is on the horizon for the couple which will decide who walks out alive.

'With close reference to two scenes from 'Pan's Labyrinth', explore how cinematography and mise-en-scène create meaning.'

' P an’s L abyrinth ' is one of the most profound contemporary films. Comprising so many symbols, themes and ideas, it presents a genuine masterpiece bequeathed to the film industry by a magnificent Mexican director, Guillermo del  Toro.  Released  in 2006, it was  critica lly  lauded with 3 Academy Award wins in 2007 for Best Makeup, Art Direction and Cinematography. It is widely regarded as Del Toro's definitive film.      A key scene in the film is when Ofelia meets the Faun, as it is the beginning of her fantasy adventures and he gives her the book which inspires her to  complete  all the tasks that he sets. The scene  begins  when  the fairy  leads  Ofelia to the Labyrinth. The fairy itself changes its form to what Ofelia imagines a fairy  should look like – according to her story books. This suggests that the whole world that Ofelia is about to enter is based upon her own imaginations and poses the question of what is real and what is not. The lighting of

How far does Blade Runner reflect the auteur signature features of Riddley Scott?

Riddley Scott is seen by many as a filmmaker whose individual style and complete control over all elements of production gives a film its personal and unique stamp – this is known as an auteur. Scott is known for his notable films such as 'Alien' (1979), 'Gladiator' (2000), 'Prometheus' (2012), and of course 'Blade Runner' (1982). One element of Scott's films that contributes to the auteur theory is his narratives are often stories of Horror, Science Fiction/Fantasy, or historical events. 'Blade Runner' is undoubtable a Science Fiction/Fantasy film but interestingly further includes conventions of Horror as well. All his films center around a pivotal event, mostly on a short timeline, that surround escaping or finding something. For 'Alien', it's escaping the alien planet and the Xenomorph, in 'Gladiator', it's escaping slavery and avenging his family and 'Blade Runner' follows the narrative pattern by trackin

  Review  'Lolita'  (1997) Arguab ly  one of  the most  controversial  films of its decade, Adrian Lyne's 'Lolita' is a captivating adaptation of the highly acclaimed  Vladimir Nabokov's  1955 novel of the same title. Comparing Lyne's adaptation to the earlier Stanley Kubrick's  'Lolita'  of   1962, I was rather  surprised  to much prefer Lyne's take on the story.   C onsidering how sexual a lot of Stanley Kubrick's films are, his version of Lolita is restrained in the sexual aspects of the story, failing to go where its story begs for it to go to.

I feel as though  director Adrian Lyne decided  he wanted  to do another take on Nabokov’s novel, taking the detail further and really showcasing the powerful dynamic between the characters, and allowing the audience to feel moved by the  unsett ling   storyline  of
