film concepts


Julia Feldman 

In the fictional drama “The Green Mile” written by David Tattersall many different filming strategies were used.  Due to the fact that this movie was not meant to be funny or romantic, the person who filmed the movie went very close to the people in the movie.  They also moved around a lot and had bright lights shining on the actors who were being sent to their death.  This method that is being used is called cinematography, this is when the movement and positioning is done in a certain way to make a point to the viewers. On the other hand, in the romantic drama “The Notebook” written by Nicholas Sparks and directed by Nick Cassavetes, the typical themes that are used in romance movies were used here as well.  The idea of overcoming obstacles and searching for love is used a lot in this film also.  The method of formalism was used in creating this movie.  The director and writer got into the minds of the actors and made the film represent how they really felt.  When you think about the typical romantic movie, “The Notebook” is the first one that comes to mind, this is because Nicholas Sparks and Nick Cassavetes did their job in making the movie as memorable as they could.
