However, the movie is criticized for flaws in its timing, pacing, and narrative due to disastrous writing and the franchise being handed to inexperienced directors. Entrusting a major franchise to a newcomer like Adam Robitel, an Emmy-nominated producer and editor but inexperienced filmmaker, results in a movie that lacks intensity and fails to refresh the franchise.

The document discusses the use of lighting in the film Big Eyes to emphasize the differing personalities and character arcs of Margaret Keane and her husband Walter. It notes that in early scenes depicting Margaret's hope and relationship with Walter, the lighting is bright and airy. However, once Walter begins taking credit for Margaret's art, the scenes become dimmer and use more shadows. Throughout the film, the lighting illuminates Margaret as the true artist but casts Walter in shadow, representing his lies. The climax in court also uses lighting - with Walter brightly lit but Margaret in shadow - to represent the societal expectations that silenced women at that time.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower Trailer Analysis bethanyryalls97
The document summarizes the key elements of the trailer for the film "The Perks of Being a Wallflower". It is a coming-of-age comedy-drama that follows a teenage boy named Charlie as he adjusts to his first year of high school.

Ewan Wild is researching existing films, TV shows, and other media to inspire his short film project. He analyzes several dark comedy films and TV shows including The End of the F***ing World, Dr. Strangelove, Four Lions, Shaun of the Dead, and American Psycho. He looks at how they use comedy to make serious or dark moments more impactful. Wild also considers music inspirations from Life is Strange and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. He wants to incorporate thought voiceovers, tension building scenes, and a serious ending to his film while maintaining elements of comedy.
The trailer conforms to many conventions of the comedy and action-adventure genres while also challenging some conventions. It establishes three misfit main characters, Winston, Chester, and Loco, who conform to familiar archetypes. Their costumes and introductions further characterize them for the audience. The trailer's theme of the characters' quest to find the world's last crate of beer subverts the alcohol consumption typically seen in comedies. It shows the characters in daily life but disrupts this with the news of no more beer, conforming to genre structure. Though focusing on a group of three leads rather than one, it features elements like a map scene common to action-adventure films.
Daniel Radcliffe is interviewed about his career after Harry Potter.

Radcliffe also talks openly about his fame from Potter and struggles with alcohol as a teenager, but seems to have a grounded perspective on his celebrity status.

Radcliffe is open about his career and interests, which include old British sitcoms. He remains fond of Potter but is happy for the franchise to continue without him, and is curious about the new play focusing on Harry's son. Radcliffe's humility and curiosity make him an unusual film star.

ITSEEMSTHATTYLERHOECHLIN(pronounced Heck-lin ) had a certain quality that may have gravitated
towards acting roles of the fantasy feature kind. Though he was offered
the role as Emmett Cullen in the Twilight saga̶a role he turned down
for college baseball̶Tyler tells August Man Malaysia that though he
eventually experienced his own Twilight-like fandom at ComicCon for his
role in Teen Wolf, he would never want to commit himself to one kind of
character or genre.
I m a huge fan of all kinds of filmmaking and TV, Tyler says. I love
Game of Thrones and I also love House of Cards. I m fascinated with telling
a compelling and captivating story that affects people, no matter what the
genre is; comedy, drama, fantasy, it s all about the characters and the story.
But let s first head back to the start: Long before Tyler began to rise
up through the ranks of young Hollywood, he was quite the athlete. A
passionate baseball player since he was seven years of age, Tyler had
juggled a baseball career with an acting one while growing up. The end
goal, however, was acting. Baseball was my first passion. I had always
said that when baseball was over, then I would fully commit to an acting
career, and that s exactly what happened, he says.
He credits his parents as the main reason he was able to balance
baseball and acting. They did everything they had to in order to get me
from one place to another when I was too young to drive myself, he tells
us. When I was old enough to drive myself, I had become accustomed
to being insanely busy and always moving from one thing to the next.
It never seemed like too much to me because it s what I was used to. It s
actually harder for me now to deal with the amount of downtime that I
have and finding ways to fill it. Sounds ridiculous, but it s true.
It was his role in the 2002 film Road to Perdition that kick started his
acting career at 14 as he played the son of Tom Hanks character, Michael
Sullivan, Sr. Citing the film as one of the most incredible experiences
of his life, Road to Perdition follows a hit man (Tom Hanks) and his son
(Tyler) who set out to seek revenge against a mobster who killed the rest
of their family. Road to Perdition led to Tyler s five year stint in the series
7th Heaven, and a string of television and film appearances.
Road to Perdition is probably the first thing I would think of in my
life that I would want to relive now because I know I would have such
a different appreciation for it, being older now and having a better
understanding of how truly special it was to be a part of that film,
Tyler explains. He continues, It s hard when youre that young to fully
comprehend how incredibly blessed you are to be in that position and
have that kind of opportunity. Every single person on that set was a true
example of what a professional should be in this industry; and also, just
good, nice people. Tom was no exception to that. He s truly one of the
kindest and most genuine persons I ve ever met. And I really hope to work
with him and the rest of those people again in the future. It would be an
honour and a pleasure.
When the Teen Wolf series was set to debut in 2011, Tyler was
impressed with the characters and storylines, especially as the show̶
which was created by Jeff Davis for MTV̶was particularly dark and
original. His character Derek Hale was born a werewolf and was initially
that dark horse that viewers could not tell was good or bad. Derek is a
very no nonsense kind of guy, Tyler says. He wasn t always that way
when he was younger, but when he lost his family, it really changed him.
There was a coldness and bitterness that became such a huge part of him.
He s extremely careful with who he allows to get close to him. But if he
does let you in, youre like family to him.
A fourth season of Teen Wolf underway and Derek has had a whirlwind
of transitions over the past seasons. He becomes a mentor to the recently-
transformed teenage werewolf Scott McCall (portrayed by Tyler Posey),
who eventually takes over the alpha role that Derek held. Tyler explains,
Derek has gone through a lot throughout the course of the show.
He s gone from an anger-filled young man obsessed with revenge and

becoming more powerful, to someone who obtained that power and was
then very quickly humbled. He got a little too proud and fell from grace.
He adds, He has really matured in the last two seasons and has accepted
what his strengths and weaknesses are. Now hes trying to contribute
where and how he can to the best of his ability, and acknowledges that
Scott is the Alpha he could never be. His place is to make Scott the greatest
Alpha he can be, which goes back to the Obi Wan and Luke Skywalker
relationship that we kind of built from the start of the show.
While immersing himself in the dark adventures of Teen Wolf, Tyler
continues to dabble in side projects. As he recently finished shooting for
an independent film called Undrafted, directed by actor Joe Mazzello,
Tyler enthuses about the talent he got to work with. I m excited to see
how it turns out and what happens with it. No matter what the outcome
is, I had an incredible time making the film with an unbelievable group of
guys that I hope to work with again and again throughout my career, he
says. I think that s one of the most satisfying things about working on a
project; knowing that you ve met some people you want to work with over
and over again.
In the rest of our interview with Tyler, he tells us a little more about his
venture as a TV werewolf and reveals a little more about himself.
What kind of preparations do you do before starting to shoot a scene as Derek?
Well when we first started filming the show, it would take a little more
time away from the joking around with everyone right before we started
shooting the scene, just to get a little more serious cause I m so much
more laid back naturally than Derek is. But now, I ve gotten to know Derek
so well that it just feels like second nature to go into a scene as him. We
can be talking about the most outrageous and ridiculous thing right
before action and then just snap into it.
What’s your take on the popularity (and sexualisation) of werewolves, vampires
and the like?
I think it s just a very natural thing that we do as human beings. We all
have an imagination, we all fantasize; I think it s just a result of mixing
different kinds of fantasies together. Genre and fantasy are things that
let us escape the rules of life and allow us to imagine the impossible. I
think that will always be popular. It doesn t apply only to werewolves and
vampires; imagination, fantasy, and creativity are things that belong to
everyone, in countless forms.
Have you ever experienced your own Twilight-like fandom?
When we go things like ComicCon we really get to see how passionate the
fans are. I d have to say that s the most intense fandom that we encounter
working on this show. It s nice to see someone in person and hear their
story about how the show has affected them and become a part of their
life. I prefer that over all the social media stuff we have today. It s much
more personal.
What is the most important thing you’ve learnt being in the industry throughout
your growing-up years?
To be persistent and never take yourself too seriously. It s easy to be
caught up in what the media and the productions that you work on try to
present you as. It s important to remember who you really are, where you
come from, and what the important things in life really are.
What takes up your time when you’re off set?
I spend a lot of time with my family and friends, try to keep busy, whether
it s surfing, baseball, dirt bikes, travelling. Travelling is one of my
favourite things because I love seeing the world and places and cultures
that are different from what I m accustomed to. It really opens up your
mind to so many new things and perspectives. And I m also starting to
dive into writing and developing my own projects. I d love to get behind
the camera and direct and produce someday.
Finally, tell us something about yourself that fans may be surprised to hear.
Well, I faced one of my greatest fears and swam with Great White Sharks.
Granted, I was in a cage but I still did it. It was an amazing experience
with my dad and my brother. I d actually do it again.
