ParaNorman is a 2012 American 3D stop-motion animated comedy horror film. It is the first stop-motion film to use a 3D color printer to create character faces and only the second to be shot in 3D. Actually, I think that this film is talk about the zombie do evil to the town and town peoples and Norman kill the zombie save the town then become hero. But the truth is the zombie not hurt the town people and hit by the town people instead. I feel so funny when I watch this part. This film is hybrid genres which included action, comedy, horror, teen and fantasy. Genre is a form that people use to categorize type of a film. According to Rick Altman, we can categorize the genre of film based on semantic and syntactic approach. In the simple words, based on the mise-en-scene (lighting, setting, actor’s behavior etc.) and the narrative style of a film, we can identify the genre of that film. Having recently completed a longterm project entitled A Theory of Narrative, published by Columbi...

As I start this essay, I hope that I completely know the genres of Train to Busan. Train to Busan is a 2016 South Korean zombie apocalypse action thriller film directed by Yeon Sang-ho and starring Gong Yoo, Jung Yu-mi, and Ma Dong-seok. The film takes place on a train to Busan, as a zombie apocalypse suddenly breaks in the country and compromises the safety of the passengers. The film premiered in the Midnight Screenings section of the 2016 Cannes Film Festival on 13 May. On 7 August, the film set a record as the first Korean film of 2016 to break the audience record of over 10 million theatregoers. The film serves as a reunion for Gong Yoo and Jung Yu-mi, who both starred in the 2011 film The Crucible. An animated prequel, Seoul Station, also directed by Yeon, was released less than a month later. The genres of Train of Busan included zombie action, horror and thriller. Exciting, action-packed and moderately gory, Train to Busan is a satisfying zombie thriller, even if it isn’t en...

    As I start this essay, I hope that I can completely know the difference between montage and continuity editing. Besides that, the techniques of the ‘Requiem for A Dream’ I also wish to understand and its story behind. Requiem for a Dream is a 2000 American psychological drama film directed by Darren Aronofsky and starring Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly, and Marlon Wayans. The film depicts four different forms of drug addiction, which lead to the characters’ imprisonment in a world of delusion and reckless desperation that is subsequently overtaken by reality, thus leaving them as hollow shells of their former selves.     As my opinion, the theory and technique included in this film are montage editing, spilt screen shot, extreme close up (ECU) shot and boom shot. Boom shot, this works and looks similar to a construction crane. It is used for high sweeping shots or to follow the action of your subject. Boom shot can give a bird's eye view. It looks...

    At 17th January 2018, our lecturer shows us a film which called 'Seoul Station'. I think that this film is talk about the team spirit among the community when I see this film, but I think wrong already. However, this film also got some parts that I like.     At the first if this film, Hye sun’s boyfriend who called Ki woong upload her photo onto the internet and called her to prostitute. This is because he doesn’t have money already. I think that this boy was not responsible and hypocrisy because he can push his girlfriend to prostitute for money but he don’t want working by himself. However, I realise that he really love Hye sun in the process that he find her because he feel nervous about her situation. In the finally, he still want to protect his girlfriend although he already killed by the bad man. This part reflecst the warm and love between the Hye sun and Ki woong. I feel very touched in the last.     Besides that, there was an uncle in this ...
