What is the importance of mise-en-scene and/or sound in creating meaning and generating response in the films you have studied?
Mise en scene and sound are important in both City of God and Chungking express as they both create a lot of meaning and purpose. In the City of God the fact that the people living in the favela are trapped, which is a common use of mise en scene, which is shown with caged up chickens. All the chickens are caged up all together, unable to escape, which represents the the locals as being trapped. One chicken that does escape represents Rocket who manages to reject the life of crime and live his own life escaping the favelas. This shows that Rocket had his mind on something else and wanted to get it. This is like in Chungking Express as Faye manages to escape Hong Kong by becoming a air hostess

Princesas
The opening scene of Princesas uses a hand held camera when Caye is walking into the hospital. This gives a sense of realism and is similitude as it shows how this is what happens in real life in Spain. This allows the audience to understand reality in Spain as prostitution happens a lot in Spain due to its high unemployment and immigration problem.
Once into the Hospital room Caye is shown as a powerful woman who is in control. She lays down the rules to the men inside the hospital room. This is not carried on throughout the film as she is found to lose her power in the bathroom scene. Here she is forced by a male for sexual reasons, even when she was refusing. This shows here power has been taken and males continue to dominate females. Caye does not want to do this at this point, even tho its here job, she does not want to do it behind Manuel's back. This shows she has feelings for him but gets controlled by a more dominant male. Showing that no matter what males still dominate females. This is the same for most of the females in this film and is the main reason why Caye and Zulema form a friendship as they are able to talk about it and help each other out. This shows the difference between males and females within the films we have watched. As in the other films males are not able to talk about there problems and use violence to sort a lot of their problems out.

Presentation Script
Does the specific style of violence make Quentin Tarantino an auteur?
Quentin Tarantino is a successful American director known for films such as Kill Bill, Django and Hateful Eight. His style of violence separates him from other directors as he uses a strong, visual amount of violence which makes his films original and unique as no others use this kind of style of strong violence. Which some say is over the top and question whether it is necessary, which was said about the Hateful Eight (Item 3) claiming that the violence in this film was not needed to the extent Tarantino used it. (Item 7)
But i disagree with this and agree with how Tarantino defends himself, as his violence gives people a sense of reality and how it was like years ago, it also adds narrative to the story in the way he uses it. The violence shows how it would of been which gives the storyline some realism, making you think about how it actually was. This is related to a lot of his films as he uses violence for a reason and not just as an effect. As in all his films he uses the same techniques and themes which is his signature. Themes which include a lot of racism and cinematic techniques like the use of long shots and tracking shots. Without the violence the audience would not feel anything which would make the film pointless and the main purpose of making a film is to be seen by an audience. By claiming The Hateful Eight's violence is not needed this takes away the purpose of the film as it is there to show what is what like and create a sense of realism. But it shows that a lot of people don't care about this as The Hateful Eight was the highest grossing film in USA. Not just this film but most of his film are a big hit all around the world and his style could be the reason why people enjoy the film. With many of his films being ranked in the top 10 at box office including Hateful Eight (Item 3), Kill Bill Vol.1(Item 2), Vol 2, Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs. With Inglourious Basterds getting 438 million and Django Unchained (Item 1) getting $30 million with a lifetime gross of $162 million. All theses film include high levels of violence which shows that it works as the all have large box office ranks and rake in the money.
Samuel Jackson Interview on deadline.com (Item 10) - Projector
Actors of his film agree with the techniques he uses this to attract bigger audience which creates the bigger film, giving it a good name. Samuel L. Jackson expresses this in an interview in where he goes into detail about Tarantino, Django and slavery (Item 10). With Jackson explaining that Tarantino and his use of slavery and his techniques he uses in his films are the way to bigger audiences so people like working with hime even if he does have an unusual take on his films. In Django a lot of techniques used were what would have really happened all them years ago. This includes the beating down of slaves and the shooting of Indians. The way Samuel Jackson talks of Tarantino, it shows he is a big fan of his work and the use of violence, that may put some members of the audience off, doesn't put him off from working with him.
In a popular Tarantino film, Django, the violence clearly shows how he is different from the others. (Item 1) With his violence easily noticeable throughout. Some of the violence includes severe whipping, being eaten by dogs and the visual of people being forced to fight to the death. The use of violence in this film is graphic and this kind of violence is continued throughout all of his films.
Other examples of violence he uses in his films include the plucking of eyeballs, torture, hangings and slicing of humans.
A lot of his earlier films do not contain the high amount of violence but this has increased throughout time, in which he has adapted. An early film of Tarantino, Jackie Brown, which was made in 1997 (Item 15) contains a low level of violence and racism which is not his usual type of film, with only 4 deaths throughout. Which shows throughout time his films have changed (Item 8) as he has worked at creating his own style and for years now he has continued to use his style which is original and is what makes him an auteur. A later film of Kill Bill Vol 1 which was made in 2003 (Item 2) contained 63 deaths and included a lot of blood thirsty killings and scenes which show his style which has been carried on after this film. Hateful Eight is also a good example to show the high use of violence that Tarantino has used in his more recent films, made in 2015, it contains 49 acts of brutal violence (Item 3). This can be due to the amount of money the film has to work with, as killings cost a lot more so more money will be needed. In his earlier films less money was there but after his success more money will have been offered to him leading to his more visual scenes. This can be a reason into the high increase of violence in his film. An example of this is Reservoir Dogs, which cost around $2 million and contained just 10 deaths. Whereas Kill Bill: Vol.1 cost around $30 million and contained 63 deaths and many violence scenes.
Tarantino interview on Chanel 4 (Item 11) - Projector
In the interview Tarantino is shown to get angry with the constant question on the use of violence and you can see he angrily has to explain himself every time. (Item 11) Being forced to explain it is not real life as many see his violence as extreme. Even tho he has been explaining this for the past twenty years. This started when the interview made a reference to his films and real life violence asking whether there is a connection between them. This angered Tarantino as he is angry about being asked questions he has already been asked. All the interview was meant to be is a commercial to promote Django (Item 1) but Tarantino felt went off topic in which he threatened to walk out of the interview. This interview shows the impact, his style of violence has on his viewers. As it was not the first time the question had been asked and it wont be the last time. This shows his style is completely different to anyone else's making him stand out from the others. No other director gets as much attention towards there violence as Tarantino does. Clearly showing his violence is completely different to any other director making it his own.

Chungking Express
In the opening scene the use of smudge motion is used which speeds the time but shows the focus characters in slower than everything around them. In this opening scene a hand held camera is used which is a common use of mise-en-scene as this gives the feel of reality and the camera shot makes it as if you are actually apart of the hectic environment. The lighting is dark which is a common use of mise-en-scene as it is shown in a busy city at night. As Hong Kong never really sleeps as there is always something going on in the urban area. This shows they stop in time whilst everyone else is carrying on with life. It shows that life in Hong Kong is hectic and busy and if your stuck in the past you can not move forward with the speed of Hong Kong. This is shown as the cop number 223 is stuck in the past about his ex girlfriend. And he cant move on from it, leaving him behind. And unless he moves forward, no one is going to stop and wait for him.
This shows that the time goes fast in Hong Kong and time is a factor in the film as it represents the amount of time the people are waiting before Hong Kong is handed back to China. Time is represented a lot through the film. An example of this would be the pineapple tins with the dates on. the date in the pineapple tins are shown as the camera zooms in on the date which shows 1st May 1994. Also the name of the cops ex girlfriend is called May which is also time based. This shows that you will be forgotten about if you do not move forward as his ex girlfriend has moved on, no longer thinking of him which is shown when the meet in a shop and she gets on a motorbike with another man.

City of God
The use of closer in the film is shown firstly with the use of the trapped chickens, representing to people in the favelas as they are trapped and cannot get out of the cage. The cage being the life style they have, gangs, and not being able to get out of it. This is shot with a hand held camera which creates a documentary style to it which can make it look real life The one chicken that does get out represents Rocket, who manages to reject crime as a way of life and uses it to get further in his career and does not get sucked into the life of crime. The chicken manages to get lose and run away eventually being able to escape and does not get caught. This is the same as Rocket has lived around crime and could not even get into the life of crime. As he failed to pull out a gun on someone showing he was never going to be able to get into that lifestyle.
Towards the end his knowledge of the favelas and access to the gangs allows him to further his career due to this as he is able to get money from pictures he takes of the gang. Without his knowledge and background he would not of been able to get these pictures which allowed him to escape.
Mise en scene is used when steak and fries is first asked out by Lil'ze and they are shown through metal bars representing them being trapped and caged up just like the chickens being trapped. Because of Steak and fries' first choice this traps him into the gang. His choice traps him in the gang and he cannot get out of it which shows that if you make the wrong choice then there may not be an option after that which results in them being trapped. This then carries on just shortly after when Steak has been told to shoot one of the runts. This is a kill or be killed basis and if he did not kill the runt then he would of been killed. In the scene the gun is shown in the middle of the two so it shows it is the centre of attention and important in the scene. When in Lil'ze's point of view the angle is high as he is more powerful than the runts and when in the runts point, they are low angles which shows they are looking up to Lil'ze and he has the power. Here a choice does not matter as a choice given to the runts does not mean anything. Lil'ze does the opposite to what the runt says when asked whether he wants to be shot in the hand or foot.
The runts are shown sitting in a pig sty which shows animalistic characteristics as they are treated like cattle and sitting in dirt.

How far does the impact of the films you have studied for this topic depends on distinctive uses of film techniques?
By using footage of real violence and rioting in the opening scene of the film it gives the film a sense of realism and documentary authenticity. This lasts for a long time which allows time to show the credits at the start rather than at then end. The real clips help to show what happened and how they have been ignored by the inner city and left out. This is the reason of the rioting. This shows the people living in the outer city and around the city have no identity as they have been forgotten and left, as if no one knows about them and that they are not important.
This forces the people in this area to create their own identity as without this they would not have one. All three Said, Hubert and Vinz all create ways to have an identity. At the start they are all introduced through their names which is a way of identity. Said outsmarts the police by writing his name in graffiti on the back of the police van which introduces him. The same is done with Vinz when he is first shown the camera zooms into the ring on his hand which has he name on. Hubert is first introduced through a boxing poster, stating his name.
This shows who they are straight away just by the way the are introduced, which gives you an idea of how they are and how they act throughout the film. Straight away Said is shown as a bit of a trouble maker and a bit mischievous by writing graffiti on a police van. This shows how he feels about the police by showing no respect to them and introduces him as a bit mischievous. Vinz is

La Haine word reasoning
Sexist- The males treat women the same as they would treat other males and themselves for example when the three are talking to the women in the art gallery. They treat them aggressively and with no respect. Females are not shown much in the film as it is mainly men with the exception of a small amount of scenes.
Bleak- La Haine is shown as bleak as it is an urban setting showing the backstreets of the city which is the bits you don't normally see. Which shows it as bleak as you don't usually see this. This represents poverty. Bleak and boring as there is nothing to do around that area which leaves them just hanging around doing nothing.
Hopeless- The film shows some of the characters as hopeless for example Vinz as all he sees his future is going into jail at the start. By killing a policeman. This shows they don's see themselves going anywhere leaving them with nothing to do.
Heroic- This shows how much the three look out for each other as they always are brought back together for example when Vinz comes back to save Hubert and Said when caught up by the gang who start beating them up. Even when they fall out they still care about each other and these events bring them back together.
Real- At the start real video footage of violence an rioting is shown and is what the movie is based on with the riots over the outer city unhappy with how they are being treated and forgotten about in comparison with the inner city.

Films:
Item 1
Django Unchained (2012): I chose this film as it is relevant to my question as it contains a high level of violent scenes in this film, this film is a pre-civil war revenge fantasy, which includes a high level of violence and racism. In the film the main character, Django, is purchased by a bounty hunter, Dr. Schultz who sets Django free. In return for Django to slaughter a number of slave owners. The film contains graphic depictions of abuse on slave owners. Some of the violence includes severe whipping, eaten by dogs and forced to fight to the death which some feel is over the top and un needed. The brutality and language is necessary to create an honest portrayal of American history as Tarantino claims the film is not as bad as real history. This is a common style that Tarantino uses to create an atmosphere and reality into
Item 2
Kill Bill Vol. 1(2003): I chose this film as it is relevant to my question as Kill Bill contains a lot of violence throughout. Starting with the main character 'The Bride' who is set to have a baby with Bill, who was the leader of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, in which she was apart of as well. She decided to leave the life of a killer and moved to find love in Texas where she met a man. On the day of the wedding the groom was shot down by a jealous Bill. In where she fell into a coma only awaking four years later to fond out her baby had gone and she had remembered what happened. Which sparked her revenge on Bill and the squad. Where she seeks revenge by killing the five people in the squad leaving Bill till last. the film contains a lot of bloodthirsty violence including the slicing up of goons, plucking out of eyeballs and cutting the top of someones head. This backs up my question as this violence is common in Tarantino's films as the violence used in Django Unchained is similar to Kill Bill as they both contain bloodthirsty violence. As his style is more visual unlike just being shot or stabbed, his violence is unique like the plucking of someones eyeball, or in Django the eating off by dogs.
Item 3
Hateful Eight (2015): This film is relevant as it contains a lot of Tarantino's style of violence which is unique to him. The film is set after the Civil War and starts with a stagecoach with John Ruth, a bounty hunter, on board heading towards the town of Red rock, with his prisoner Daisy Domergue who is wanted for murder. On their way they pick up Major Marquis Warren and Chris Mannix, fellow bounty hunters. Where a blizzard forces them to take cover at Minnie's Haberdashery where there are suspicious characters there which Civil war enmities recur. It is here that the eight travellers learn that they will not make it to their destinations. During this film there is 49 acts of brutal violence including shootings, stabbings, a hanging, torture, force gay oral sex and incidents where woman are shot or beaten.

BBC.co.uk - Quentin Tarantino - The Hateful Eight violence 'Necessary'.
This is relevant to my question as it shows that people are noticing Tarantino for his violence and some people think it is over the top and don't agree with the use of violence. But Tarantino defends himself against this by explaining why the use of violence is necessary. Harvey Weinstein calls the amount of violence 'stupidity'. But Tarantino defends himself as he does this on purpose. He wants to send shockwaves through the audience and make them feel sympathy for the main character, Daisy. Without the amount of violence the message would not be sent out to the viewers so it is important to create an atmosphere this way which creates the scenes. But it shows that a lot of people do not care about opinions of others as it was the highest grossing film in the USA.
Item 8
bgr.com - Quentin Tarantino's movies have become more violent overtime.
This is relevant to my question as on here there is a table which states Tarantino's films and the amount of deaths and swear words used within the full movie. The table shows that through out time, the number of deaths have dramatically increased in his movies. From just 4 in Jackie Brown which increased in all of his films, with Kill Bill: Vol. 1 having 63 deaths in the film. This shows his use of violence and that it has increased as he continues to use a lot of violence. This table also shows the amount of swear words have decreased which shows his budget for films have increased as violence costs more than the use of swear words as impacting the audience on a low budget can be done by the use of swear words. But impacting the audience with a high budget is done by dramatic deaths. Reservoir Dogs was made for around $2 million and contained 421 swears and 10 deaths but Kill Bill: Vol. 1 cost around $30 million and contained a lot less swears at 57 and a lot more deaths, than reservoir dogs, at 63. This shows violence has been increased because of his higher budget films as when his budgets where small he used more swear words to jolt audiences.
