Experimental film – Fallen Angels: Explore how far ‘Fallen Angels’ challenges conventional approaches to narrative. Wong Kar Wai’s 1995 film challenges conventional narrative choices in many ways including structure, camera shooting styles, and the way scenes are constructed. With also thematical and genre style differences too. One scene in particular featuring very unconventional narrative choices would be the montage sequence involving forcing a man to eat ice cream, and going into stores after they’ve closed to rob them of their goods. Nothing like this would be seen in a mainstream movie. For this reason, it is quite a shock to see the events unfold and makes us somewhat question what is actually going on? Not only this but its comedic too, the dark humour is executed well however one must consider whether an audience of long-time experimental films would find it humorous in the same way audience who are not familiar with experimental films.

The Place Beyond The Pines Clip Analysis The Place Beyond the Pines is a drama spanning over 3 main characters and the struggles they go through, the clip we are analysing is from the first character’s story - Luke (Ryan Gosling) and how he has quit his job and is visiting his ex-girlfriend and baby who he believes to be his son.

At the opening of the clip, we have a close up of Ryan Gosling as he lights a cigarette and from the closeness of this, we are drawn in to his world and as we have a side on ...
How far does 'Winter's Bone' rely upon an understanding of its social context? Set in the rural Ozarks of Missouri, ‘Winter’s Bone’ stars Jennifer Lawrence as Ree, a 17-year-old girl forced with looking after her sick mother, and her two younger siblings, all while tracking down her Father who has to appear in court otherwise they’ll lose their house. The film explores many different themes and social issues such as poverty, gender and power, drug abuse, and family, both distant and close. One scene that highlights the social issue of poverty, is when Ree has an interview for army recruitment and is adamant in learning more about the money involved. The scene begins with Ree being called up for her time, and straight away it is clear that she doesn’t quite fit in. Every other person having an interview are men, and to further add to the gender divide, Ree appears beaten up slightly implying she cannot take care of herself and that she is not powerful enough to...
