The producer, René Clair, made many important changes throughout the movie, one major change stood out, the mood. He incorporated the lighter mood with a variety of comedic and tacky scenes, with characters chasing each other, peeking through keyholes, and childish music, which left the audience happy and laughing at each of the characters. With a little romantic touch, it developed two characters to stand out and feel sympathetic for them. But with each joke, the characters make the

The movie The Breakfast Club was released in 1985, and is based on a group of five high school students from stereotypical cliques; the popular, jock, nerd and the outcasts, who all wind up stuck together for Saturday detention. Throughout the movie many themes present themselves such as teenage rebellion, peer pressure and family issues as the students get to know each other. The most prominent theme throughout the movie is the student’s placement in the social structure of the school. From the very different reasons why they are in detention to the way that they are all treated differently by the principle, their social placement is evident.

The film Little Miss Sunshine, Directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Farris, explores the lives of a regular American family and how they change their lives in front of us in the ‘Combie’ van on the road to the Little Miss Sunshine beauty pageant. The film examines the issues of winning and losing, and what it means to be a winner, throughout many sequences in the film as well as exploring the value of family. The directors and the cinematic team use an extreme range of camera techniques, costuming, and sound techniques to reshape our understanding of winning and losing in the world we live in today.

Hello, my name is Valerie Faris, and I am one of the co-directors (along with Jonathan Dayton) of the film, 'Little Miss Sunshine'. When making this film, my co-director and I heavily aimed to portray the different ways we as human beings search to find our place in the world. We focused on the conception of building relationships and trust within the concept of a family. We wanted to convey the concept that when it comes to family, its never too late to re-connect and belong.

Two of the most prominent aspects of editing that can be identified within this film are the flashforward and the flashback. At the commencement of the film, a flashforward is employed. It shows drums being played in a forest by the three characters that were yet to be introduced to the audience. Then the scene quickly cuts to the main character, Joe, in the shower at his house. This flashforward is used in order to provide the audience with an idea of what is to come in the not-so-distant future of the film. Another flashforward is utilized when Joe, Patrick, and Biaggio are living in the forest. This flashforward shows Joe and the female lead, Kelly, in the woods. It portrays the two in a romantic light, and includes a confession from Kelly that she wants to stay and live in the forest with Joe. This flashforward, unlike the previous example, does not come true. However, it is used to portray the deep emotions of Joe, and his longing for female companionship. These emotions become relevant when Kelly falls for Joe’s friend Patrick instead of him. During the conclusion of the film, a flashback is employed so the audience can relive the previous events that occurred within the film. When Biaggio is in the hospital, a flashback reminds the audience of when Joe and Patrick first entered the forest, at the onset of their adventure. This flashback brings the audience back to a happier and lighter point in the story line. In the film The Kings of Summer, flashfowards and

Thus, they go on on an adventurous 800-mile road trip in their old yellow Volkswagen Type 2. Despite the many bumps, and setbacks along the road despite they still work together into finally reaching to the pageant almost on time.

The tempo is decreased creating a depressed mood. Olive is shown first, through the Mise en scene of a close up of her face, drawing the audience to examine her features. Her eyes fixated on the TV, which shows a beauty pageant of Miss America. Her pupils dilated mimicking the pageant queen, mesmerised by the sparkles. Instantly her bulky glasses (acting as a barrier between her, and her desires) are reflected in the screen, an intentional contraction that the director uses to point out to the audience that Olive isn't the ‘beauty pageant type’.

In this paper, I will write about “Thelma and Louise” (1991) movie. I choose a last scene of the movie which the police came to arrest them in the Grand Canyon (from 122 to 125 minutes).
