Homework : Image Analysis

The image above is of a very busy environment that does not have a lot of light, which shows that they have poor work, health and safety policies. It gives off a very intense and intimidating atmosphere like, if you walk in you'd be in the way and that you're presence isn't very welcomed. It would be likely that the person would be ignored and everyone wouldn't even notice that someone walked in or left. It shows that the people know what they are doing and that it is a workplace where you wouldn't hear talking but just tapping, people walking, running, paper flipping, draws opening and closing etc.The place may be poorly lit but it doesn't give the sense that it is a secret workplace where they do things that they don't want people to know but instead it is a place that people can find out about but people tend to not know of it because they work in the background/behind the scenes of what is going on outside.
In the top left, though a little blurry, you can see a man standing and observing the men working. Therefore, I'd assume that they are doing important work.

Classes this Week

Movie : Angel . A
We saw a part of this movie which was in another language. It was of a scene where a man is in the bathroom with a tall beautiful lady. It began with the lady telling the man to look into the mirror as say what he sees and describe himself and to love himself. The lady seemed like someone who didn't exist as there was also a part where she disappeared and reappeared. The camera also panned from a view where we can see both faces in the mirror to being the mirror and seeing the man looking into the mirror.

Movie : The City of Lost Children
Today we started watching the City of lost Children, it began soft then weird, warped, which indicated it wasn't real and was a dream but it was a lot like a nightmare. We then see like a laboratory area with kind of chaotic people... from the movie we learn of the match cut - where it is of the same or similar place or area but at a different time. It is a creepy and a type of sci-fi movie. We also learn of the establishing shot, where it shows a view of where it is taking place, which is a secluded place, a building above water in the middle of nowhere.

Movie: Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind
We started watching a movie which is about memory, we began at a scene where a lady with red hair is lying on the ice, snowy floor with a man who is trying to remember the memories he erased after they broke up.
The lighting in the scene we see is of only the main character and everything else around is dark which gives us the impression of it not being real and as though it was a light that is searching through the darkness and trying to keep everything in the light.

Genre : Romance

Wikipedia states that,'As a literary genre of high culture, romance or chivalric romance is a style of heroic prose and verse narrative that was popular in the aristocratic circles of High Medieval and Early Modern Europe. They were fantastic stories about marvel-filled adventures, often of a knight errant portrayed as having heroic qualities, who goes on a quest. Popular literature also drew on themes of romance, but with ironic, satiric or burlesque intent. Romances reworked legends, fairy tales, and history to suit the readers' and hearers' tastes, but by c.1600 they were out of fashion, and Miguel de Cervantes famously satirised them in his novel Don Quixote. Still, the modern image of "medieval" is more influenced by the romance than by any other medieval genre, and the word medieval invokes knights, distressed damsels, dragons, and other romantic tropes."

The dictionary also explains that as an adjective, romance is some pose of narrative depicting heroic or marvelous deeds in mostly historical or imaginary setting. It could also be presented as a colourful world, life or condition as such told in fairy tales. It could also be believed by many as a baseless, made-up story, usually full of exaggeration and fanciful invention.
