Essays on Costume

Kesha’s concert at Harrah’s in Atlantic City was poor. Her costume almost matched the curtain behind the stage, making it a bad color combination. Also, she was very scantily-clad, and her appearance was inappropriate, something that took away from the quality of her music. In addition, her music, although having a very good dance beat, was difficult to understand. That is, the lyrics were hard to discern. Whether this was due to the poor audio quality at the venue or due to her lack of singing ability is hard to determine. It appeared that the crowd liked ...

Introduction

This literature seeks to explore the correlation between class issues and schooling based on an Australian model of study. Most of the authors in this review agree that there is a correlation between class issues and the way schools are perceived and operated. The rise of neoliberalism has led way to an induction of creating a greater divide between the haves and have nots. Australian schools have shifted from the dynamics of the 1970s and 1980’s where the idea of a more balanced school system was part of educational reform. However, as of 2009 this has shifted and ...

Play Review

Earlier this week I was fortunate enough to take in a showing of the play, “In the Time of Butterflies. Written by talented playwright, Caridad Svich, the performers and all involved did a splendid job bring the ideas of the play to life.

Among all the films shot about Batman, there is one that plays a significant role in the famous series, namely Batman Begins by Christopher Nolan. Shot in 2005, the film amazed me both with the intertextual codes and the visual representation. Having watched almost all the films including this DC character, it is safe to say Batman Begins is the best one to me and my favorite one. Objectively speaking, it was not the most successful among others due to the numerous factors but still, there is something in this film that makes it special. The reason might be ...

In terms of both our vocations and hobbies, we often aspire to become great. What happens, however, when this very desire consumes and overtakes us?

In Hamlet, Polonius tells Laertes, “Apparel oft proclaims the man.” That truth becomes doubly so when it comes to costuming a character for purposes of performance. The character I have chosen for this paper is Cleopatra, and more specifically, Elizabeth Taylor starring as the Egyptian queen in the1963 movie directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz. Before I focus on the queen’s attire, it is pertinent to spend a few lines on the cultural and historical significance of Cleopatra as the queen of Egypt. Because of the iconic significance of the role, it is crucial that the queen is dressed ...

In the 1999 film, The Matrix costuming plays a principle role in how the audience perceives the characters. With the constant of a green tinge throughout the movie, a danger exists that the public’s attention may become detached and bored with the presentation.

In 2013 a new and updated version of The Great Gatsby was directed by Baz Luhrmann, starting Leonardo De Caprio, and designed to be a faster, and brighter version of an age old story. One of the most visually and thematically interesting scenes in the film is the “epic party scene” as it is known, at which time the audience is first introduced to not only the Gatsby character, but also his over the top lifestyle. As such, the scene is expressly interesting to dissect as it relates to the way it characterizes certain individuals and sets the scene ...

The Peking Opera is a traditional Chinese theater performance that is associated with a lot of music, bright costumes, expressive make-up and moving action. On the contrary, when people are speaking about Shakespeare’s drama, it is more related to deep and passionate word game and sophisticated dresses.

Moreover, under circumstances of the digital age, they both were forced to change and develop in order not to lose their spectators.

Introduction

Netzly (2000) defines special effects as the process of turning the imaginary events of a film look so real. This can be achieved mechanically through makeup and visual manipulations of images. In the early years of film production, special effects were manually done but in the current generation, both visual effects and makeup can be achieved through the use of computer generated imagery (CGI) (Netzly, 2000). Use of specialized materials like silicone to creatively transform a film cast into what the director envisages and in accordance with the theme of the film is the work of the makeup and ...

All four of these articles were selected from peer-reviewed journals. Journals were selected instead of a book because it seemed like the best way to get a general idea about some very diverse topics regarding the Aztecs. Topics for three ...

Sequence Analysis in Pride and Prejudice (2005) Pride and Prejudice (2005) was Joe Wright's debut as a director of a feature film. It was a tough choice for the studio, because he had no real experience and didn't even read a Jane Austen's novel. But in the end it was the best candidate, because Wright managed to explore his nature talent and was later inspired to direct his other movies like Atonement or Anna Karenina. Pride and Prejudice was the first romantic film he worked on, but later he was admired for his work and the film was welcomed very warmly by ...

Exploring Boundaries: Fashion, Adornment and the Body

Introduction For many centuries, humans have communicated to each other in the language of dress. Even before an individual talk to another individual on the street, at a party or in a meeting, the person has already declared their age, gender, and class through their attire. Additionally, the person would have possibly announced important information or misinformation, such as origin, occupation, tastes, opinions, current moods, and sexual desires. Individuals may lack the ability to express what they have observed into words, but they have registered information unconsciously about each other. Consequently, by the end of the conversation or meeting, they ...

Many people are under the assumption that art exhibitions must contain paintings, sculptures, drawings, or other traditional forms of art. The artist must use paint, clay, or pencil to capture a feeling, a message, or an appeal, putting it on display for the audience. It is unclear why, but it seems that the audience cannot render a message fit for consumption unless it uses the typical artistic methods. The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology acknowledges there are other art forms. FIT displays all types of artistic fashion as an exhibition to man’s triumphs and failures through time. Two recent ...

Motion in the basic and simple functions in a movie or artistic work is to break the monotony that could accrue from still scenes. When the actors and actresses move about during the film, it helps the viewer or the audience in general to accept and appreciate newer scenes that would be equally interesting.

The doll house is a play that was written by Henri Ibsen and played for the first time in December 1879 at the Royal theatre in Denmark. The play manifests the intuitions of Henri Ibsen about the dominance of the male society over the female gender.

Thesis statement

The choice of the production name as Doll house will be symbolic and, therefore, instill a sense of anxiety in the audience about the contextual nature of the doll as a puppet. Arguably, the play will consider the outreach of the audience through costume design element as an approach to entice the audience and instill the ...

“12 years a slave” by Steve McQueen and “Django unchained” by Quentin Tarantino are the great movies telling us about the slavery.
