Hi,
What are some features (Language, visual, style etc) that show composer's idea on the imaginative journey in The never ending story (Movie) ???
Or any features that i can look at in regard to movies?
Thanks

um..film techniques i suppose?

i watched to movie, and i'm not sure about you but it was pretty dreary. maybe the fact that it was made in the 80's contribute to this. anyways i got:

a) special effects
b) lighting
c) costume
d) use of music
e) the funny names

yea...that's about it...

would anthropomorphism (sp?) be included also? cause the flying dog thingy talks n im pretty sure there are some other animals that do too...

+Colours used for symbolism: balck = evil, white = good
+ Chronological order/flashbacks used?
+Lighting
+Accompanying/background music
+The language used: is it sophisticated? is it slang? is it full of jargon?
+Consider the target audience and what has been used to illustrate the "moral of the story" so that the audience understands it ?
thats is all i can think of
