  The sound is a technical part of filmmaking which is as important as lightning, colours, representation, editing etc. Sound effects and music can help to build tension and increase importance of a scene among other things. Sound weaves the story by setting a mood and evoking specific emotions for the audience at the points they are supposed to feel them, especially where no traditional narrative is present. There is something intuitive about the emotions we experience from music and that combined with inspiring and fascinating visuals creates an unbelievable experience. The importance of sound can't be underestimated. Without it films would not exist in the form we are used to know them. Even silent movies weren't truly silent because the background had a music that was setting a certain mood. Effective use of sound and music helps to feel the emotions and understand the story. That's why it's very important not to underestimate the power of sound.

  The anime thriller ''Ghost in the Shell'' was directed in 1995 by Mamoru Oshii and is based on 1989's manga with the same title written by Masamune Siro. The anime manga and film both had a massive impact on the development of cyberpunk, neonoir, science fiction, thriller etc. Even Wachowski brothers said that ''Ghost in the Shell'' had a huge influence on creating ''Matrix''. The scene contains the process of making the ''Ghost in the shell''-the robot for special tasks. The beginning of the scene is mostly filled with close up shots of certain body parts to make the audience know how robots are made. Sometimes a camera does tilt movement to show the whole body of robot. During the extract the titles with green numbers are seen which again approves that it had an impact on ''Matrix''. After the beginning of the scene the camera uses mostly medium and long shots except some moments when it has to focu...

Cutting on action-it's when an editor cuts in the middle of an action to another shot that matches the first shot's action ( https://youtu.be/yL9rSwrsMHw?t=189 ) Cut away-it's the interruption of a continuously filmed action by inserting a view of something else ( https://youtu.be/_CImWc7og28?t=109 ) Cross cut-it's the editing technique of switching back and forth between scenes ( https://youtu.be/xds1NklC-Gs?t=63 ) Jump cut-it's an editing technique that cuts between two sequential shots ( https://youtu.be/pAFUn4Dwk54?t=44 ) Match cut-it's an edit in cinematography that uses elements of one scene ( https://youtu.be/KALd3ynNH60?t=28 ) Fade in/out-it's when a shot appears gradually out of darkness or disappears into darkness ( https://youtu.be/RBAmLm_jYyY?t=90 ) Dissolve-it's a gradual transition from one image to another ( https://youtu.be/7z2Ignq93nE?t=115 ) Smash cut-it's a sharp, abrupt cut from one scene to another ( https://youtu.be/4TR1O6O5FqY?...

  The feminist theories can really work in noir films. For example we can have Laura Mulvey because we see that men are mostly the centre of the plot. While women in noir play mostly supporting role rather than main role. Also the appearance of women is always good-looking which sometimes makes them look like nothing but an object which is Van Zoonen theory. They sometimes act as weak while male characters are portrayed strong physically.

  It so happened that the most part of our history had the world being ruled by men and women had got theequal rights with men only in the beginning of 20th century when a lot of changes in society happened. However if talking about films, some theorists are of opinion that patriarchal society hasn't vanished yet. Today's blog is about three main feminist theorists in movies. Laura Mulvey is a British feminist film theorist, author of idea in which women in the media are viewed from the eyes of heterosexual men. This idea is also known as ''Male Gaze Theory''. In this theory it's written that products assume the audience is male and presents women for their pleasure. Men in media are often at the centre of action/plot and they're represented as dominant while playing an active role in a storyline. While women in films are often passive playing minor roles in the narrative and they have things done to them rather than doing anything themselves. Another im...
