Outline
I. Introduction
A. Thesis Statement
The movie Twilight Eclipse was the third part of the Twilight Saga. This movie was just a romance movie with a twist. The director and producer tried to bring the old and the new together by encompassing what we think we know about vampires and adding a new dimension to it. With the latest cinematography and the new technology they made every scene believable and kept the audience wanting more. It showed us a new vampire and werewolves.

Every movie we ever seen with vampire depicted them as heartless with only one goal and that is to feed. Yet this movie showed us a total different aspect. Was it believable or not. The directors point of view was evident in every shot.

B. Explanation
The scene takes place on the balcony of Edwards home and the lighting is soft

    With so much hubbub given to the lenses and the format used to shot this film, one may expect to find many shots of huge mountains and outdoor sets. But these unique features are instead almost exclusively used for up close, tight situations, almost entirely in the stuffy cabin. Each unique character is simultaneously slowly unfolded. The script offers everyone opportunities to stand out, and they all do, but the greatest performances are given by both, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Walton Goggins. The Samuel L Jackson character is great, but many times Tarantino references the actors iconic image, by slowing down funny lines and making him say self-referential lines that don't seem to fit in. It often feels like Tarantino is poking you in the ribs saying “huh? did you see what he just said, wasn't it…

    Vampires have always been an idea tossed around and portrayed differently through what other people see them as. Some see them as sparkly vampires that have an inevitable love for a human, and others see them as the cruel beasts that the origin stories conclude. In How to Read Literature Like a Professor, Foster states that one doesn’t have to be a vampire to have vampire- like qualities through their actions or thoughts. In A Tale of Two Cities, Marquis Evrémonde portrays these exact qualities and everyone soon learns of what he truly has done and meets his inevitable death in the end.…

    Since the eighteen century, vampire stories have played a strong role of popularity in literature and cinematic environments. The continuous changes of vampires have taken the vampire legend from something feared to something desired. Between Dracula and Twilight it has been over a hundred years. These two novels are a great example of vampire’s evolution. However, both novels have elements of narrative device, they are both written from multiple perspectives, and both were turned into a film. Although Twilight and Dracula are pieces of literature that share a vampire story, there are three important differences that characterize each one.…

    First of all, it is evident that the very detailed description cannot translate to cinematic form. To replicate this, the suspense is portrayed through the faces of the young actors who are, in my view, simply not talented enough to be able to properly bring out our emotions with the poorly performed dialog.…

    • 6 Pages

    Throughout many types of literature, violence exists to enhance the reader 's interest in order to add a sense of excitement or conflict to a novel. This statement withholds much truthfulness due to the fact that without violence in a piece of literature such as Dracula by Bram Stoker, the plot would not have the same impact if it were lacking violence. So to holds true to that of the movie. The movie bares different characteristics then that of the book. First off, the whole ordeal with the wolf escaping and jumping into Lucy 's, room and Lucy 's mom having a heart attacked is never even mention in the movie. Second, The night when the four men go to Lucy 's grave and find it empty is stated both in the book and in the movie however what unfolds after this is different. Finally, the end of the book differs severely from what Francis Ford Copolas rendition and that of the Bram Stoker see it to be. The differences are as follows…
