The Assignment:
Please demonstrate your knowledge of the influence of Orson Welles by citing an example of a trick shot from BOTH The Best Years of Our Lives AND a modern film. Please also post a link from the modern film example to show your point. In your analysis, tell me why you believe your examples qualify as a trick shot.
This assignment is not a lengthy writing exercise and should be easily done in a page. Please save it as a PDF file.
This is due by the date indicated in the syllabus and Due Dates document.
There are plenty of really creative “trick” shots in modern movies that originated in how Orson Welles and Gregg Tolland thought movies should look like. Think about City Lights, It Happened One Night or Casablanca. They are shot very straightforwardly with the camera simply capturing the action. Welles and Tolland changed all that by creating the idea of a showman director who will do tricks with the camera that create a whole different experience for the audience that they could never get, say, from watching a stage play.
A trick shot is NOT a pan or a tilt or wind blowing through somebodys hair. Nor is it a stunt. It is a shot unlike others because it uses highly creative visual imagination and great skill to accomplish. A long, unbroken take can qualify as can the creative use of split screening, fast/slow motion, shooting through walls. Orson Welles created the whole trick shot showcase in Citizen Kane.
LinkLook at the shot above, from Citizen Kane, as the camera soars over the rooftop, through a sign, through glass and finally descending down into a close up.
LinkThe example above is the opening scene from Welles’ Touch of Evil. It’s a long, unbroken take.
LinkA more modern example that’s commonly seen is the Jaws dolly zoom. Spot it in the clip above.
LinkIn this clip above, we have all kinds of trick photography such as slow motion and fast motion, stylized costuming, stylized color correction, etc. It is an artistic leap way beyond It Happened One Night and is a direct child of Welles’ concepts of what a movie could and should be.
The influence of Welles is all over film, it should not be hard to find some really fascinating examples! Try to have some fun with this one.
THE ASSIGNMENT:
After watching It Happened One Night, please watch another, relatively modern film, i.e. When Harry Met Sally. Then, compare/contrast how this genre has changed or remained the same.
In your analysis, compare the following basic tenets of the romantic comedy as you see it in BOTH It Happened One Night AND the modern film of your choice:
The basic plot where two people, usually a man and a woman, meet and then part ways due to an argument or other contrived obstacles.
Initially, these two people do not become romantically involved, because they believe that they do not
like each other, because one of them already has a partner, or social pressures.
Aggravation is not the opposite of love but actually quite closely related, and perhaps a necessary
precursor, to love.
Females are usually at least on par if not actually stronger-willed than the males. The head-to-head
battles are the key humor element of a screwball comedy.
Reverse class snobbery, to be poor is somehow to be more noble.
A very skillful blend of sophistication and slapstick. Although screwball characters move in an elegant
world, where even a simple bathroom appears to be the center of their universe, they may still whack
one another over the head, but while The Three Stooges use sledgehammers, screwball characters use
silver chafing dishes, and the likeweapons of the upper class.
A well written script, laced with barbed dialog. An overlapping style of delivery, with lines tossed off in
rapid fire.
An emphasis on elegant clothes, cars, and furniture.
The use of exotic locales.
The hero or the heroine living by his or her wits alone, though this is often balanced by a reliable
gainfully employed love interest.
The presence of leading actresses in the starring role.
Supporting casts of first-rate character actors playing eccentric types as well as a stable of familiar faces in leading roles.
Centered around romantic ideals such as “true love” and “finding the one”.
Again, please analyze each of the above bullet points for both “It Happened One Night” AND the modern romantic comedy of your choosing.
THE ASSIGNMENT:
Find a modern film (anything from 2000 to present) that mimics the hallmarks of those made from roughly 1967 – 1975, during what is known as the New Hollywood Era.
Demonstrate your knowledge of the influence of the quintessential New Hollywood filmmakers (approximately 1967 1975) by comparing the hallmark styles and techniques of those pictures (use “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” or “The Graduate”) with a relatively modern (anything from 2000 to present) film.
Some of the things to look for would be:
Theme of rebellion
A hero fighting the system and losing
Story lines emphasizing the loss of innocence
Anti-Heroes that the audience is rooting for
The Establishment as the enemy
Downer endings
Popular music soundtracks
Often stylish, fast-cutting, consciously showy filmmaking
REMEMBER, you must compare your modern film of choice with EITHER “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” or “The Graduate.”
Your analysis should be at least 2 pages, double-spaced.
For your discussion posting, you should prepare a PSA (public service announcement)-style report about the condition, symptoms, and diagnostic strategy (and other elements listed below) for the assignment. Think of this as how to explain the condition (and all of the required details listed below) in a way that will help you and your classmates to remember the condition. You can include characters, mnemonic, rhymes, catchy phrases, etc. You may need to research a little more about your condition using other resources (remember to avoid sites such as Wikipedia; also be sure to cite your resource using APA guidelines). This activity is designed to help you to explore the factors that help differentiate conditions in a way that creates a memorable story or mental picture to aid in understanding. You should discuss each of these in your story:
Etiology (cause)
Symptoms
Laboratory findings/Diagnostic criteria
Treatment
Possible complications

Mark Twain said of Huck Finn: It is a novel where a sound heart and a deformed conscience come into collision and conscience suffers defeat. The conscience that unerring monitorcan be trained to any wild thing you want it to approve. Thinking about this comment, explain Hucks moral development throughout the novel and interpret what the most important change he goes through is in regards to being a good person.
For his heroes Twain uses a boy with an abusive father who lacks a traditional education, who is barely literate, and who rejects society, as well as an uneducated, gullible, yet caring slave. Evaluate the things that make Huck or Jim admirable heroes and determine the significance of Twains decisions about his characters
1. find a resource and list three common coping problems parents meet when their Adolescent Is Going Through Puberty. Each point should be within 20 words.

For example,”good parents coping is related to higher acdamic performance of adolescence” or “bad coping is related to more risk of depression”. The resource can be the same as the first part. The advantage can focus on family relationship and future development of the adolescents.
