Cinematography in “Hero”
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page research paper that discusses the elements of cinematography in “Hero,” directed by Zhang Yimou, 2002, which is an epic film and its $30 million production budget makes it one of the most expensive films in the history of China’s film industry (Heilman). The film’s narrative is similar to any one of numerous films that are set in an ancient era and involves numerous scenes of action-packed sword play.

Cinematography in "Citizen Kane"
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper discussing the film's opening scene. This scene sets the tone and the mood of the entire work. We later see vignettes of Kane's life, but we already know that regardless of what happens during these scenes, the ultimate truth is that Kane died alone and in utter poverty in terms of what money cannot buy. The scene tells us there is a sadness about Kane's life that, regardless of how he may have enjoyed certain moments, it is always to be overshadowed by that sadness, the same one that caused him to utter the word "Rosebud" as his last. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Cinematography/Citizen Kane
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay that discusses the use of cinematography in Citizen Kane. A major component to the reputation of Orson Welles' cinematic masterpiece Citizen Kane (1941) as a historically pivotal film is its use of deep focus cinematography. Through its innovative use of cinematography, Welles succeeded at simultaneously telling the story of Charles Foster Kane, while also inviting the audience to interpret the film (Anderson). The characteristics of the cinematic look of the film lend it ambiguity and ambivalence that turn what could have been an ordinary power story into a humanistic mystery. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Citizen Kane
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page paper which examines a couple of scenes from the movie “Citizen Kane.” The scenes examined are very descriptive and hard hitting, illustrating in a few simple frames, who Charles Kane was and the changes he went through. The two scenes introduce us to a young Kane who is just starting out on his newspaper career, while the very next scene illustrates the man at the end of the career. While the scenes after this last one described, more fully illustrate and define the man’s life between the two points, it is these two scenes that truly set the stage for the viewer’s examination of Charles Kane. No additional sources cited.
