My favorite music video is the Beautiful, Beautiful song by Francesca. When I watch this video with out the sound the imagery still conveys the message of praising God for all that he is. Francesca is kneeling down on the floor praying and singing her heart out to God and even with out the sound you can still capture the atmosphere of worship. The atmosphere is similar to the message of the song which is to praise God for all he created and all that he is.

Twilight Zone

In twilight zone the build of suspense came from the darkened rooms and the inability of the viewers to recognize any of the characters in the film. Also the dialogue and the desire of the hospitalized women to have her face revealed. We are very curious about what the women looks like, what will happen to her, and where is she going to go. The writers created a sense of suspense by not revealing the women's face and by letting us know little and empathizing that what we don't know is very important to the story line.

If Rosa Parks was to have flashback telling of scenes of her refusing to give up her seats, I would use techniques such as black and white. In order to create a sense of the older time period I would use a rouged yellowish and darker tone for the flashback. I would also focus the camera on certain objects that reflect the time period.

Shrek 2

Ella Enchanted

Cinderella

This technique was effective in these movies because the story is told in a fairy tale like manner that adds to the fanaticism of the story. It makes these movies more magical and takes us back to younger years where our parents would read to us.
