Frame Study : The Great Dictator by Charlie Chaplin

 Hello friends!

        Welcome to my blog ! This blog is about frame studying on the famous movie that Great Dictator by Charlie Chaplin.  THE GREAT DICTATOR, based on an original story written, directed and produced by Charles Chaplin and released through United Artists; musical direction by Meredith Willson. At the Astor and Capitol Theatres.

        Let's have look on slides and frame.

When he was playing with a glob balloon the map broke up. That through we assume that  he was not stable to rule over the world as long as he wanted. Maybe That is the sign of his fallout. When he was playing with a glob balloon the map broke up. That through we assume that  he was not stable to rule over the world as long as he wanted. Maybe That is the sign of his fallout.

As birds are no longer safe in prison but the situation of Jews is more dangerous. The Ghetto is like open jail. That we connect with the current situation of our country.

 

                The crowd goes wild when Hynkel shouts “Soldiers for Tomainia!”—but when he makes a gesture with his hand, they instantly go silent. That showed his control over them. In a final speech he doesn't make any gesture to make silent. It looks like I am here don't behavior against me.

• Value of artist ?
• Connect with Narcissism

              Another splendid sequence is that in which Hynkel and Napaloni, a neighboring dictator, meet and bargain. How Hynkel and Napaloni tries to show their power to one another. That one Dictator always wants to become more and more powerful. This particular sequence is portrayed as a funny way but it is explore characteristics of a dictator.

         Both Dictators wanted to take Photographs and Hynkel wanted to show their army and powerful weapons and all the things.  The public was also very enthusiastic about Napaloni. So we have to think about how we react at present time to this type of situation.

Final speech of The Great Dictator : ( click here to watch and read final speech )

The final speech by barabar is a symbolic one and very important.  The way Camara works at that time speech is going on. We have two different kinds of look and frame.

This  frame we connect with the present time. As our government wanted to increase our weapons. A decade ago Charlie Chaplin made fun of that.

The character of Schultz, who was against him that's why Hynkel gave a punishment. Schultz tries to persuade the Jewish family to assassinate Hynkel in a suicide attack, but they are dissuaded by Hannah. Troops search the ghetto, arrest Schultz and the Barber, and send both to a concentration camp.

Frame study : Charlie Chaplin's movie The Modern Times and The Great Dictator

           "  Life  is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.  "  - Charlie Chaplin.

Hello friends !

    Welcome to my world !! Here I am going to present my views on two movies by Charlie Chaplin. I am doing a frame study of this film. The movies are  The Modern Times and The Great Dictator.

     It is an interesting study through the perspective of the modern age and twentieth century. How the camera works, and  how the portrait situation relates to the particular history of the century. How he portrayed comedy with high seriousness, that became noticeable. If you watch both these movies without any deep understanding and context then you may say that these are great comedies. But , if you watch a movie in a critical way then this becomes more serious.

Let's know about  a comedy king with high seriousness, Sir Charles Spenser Cheplin was an English comic actor, filmmaker, and composer who rose to fame in the era of silent film.

Let's have a glimpses of some of the frame that is important to related with the twentieth century.

The Modern Times :

        The opening scene is very metaphorical. Because it suggests that How human beings are bound by time itself.  If you think you are free then that is half truth. Because we are bound by time.we have to do work from time to time.  Because of The invention of the machine and all the things we have become slaves of time. Time is ruling over us in a very crucial way. That is also suggested that the clock showing 6 o' clock,that must be a time to go factory and work.

       

          Here we can see that in the opening scene that Chaplin portrayed a herd of sheep along the fade up scene with the herd of man. That shows us that people don't have enough thinking for their future plan. They do work like sheeps.  The workers assembly line possibly his greatest slapstick encounter with the twentieth century. Here we can see the herd mentality of mankind.

This particular frame shows us the helplessness of the worker. The feeding machine came up with an idea that if you use this machine for your worker then the lunch time will be eliminated and you have more production. And the owner who said let's have a demo.  The worker who can't be denied a demo. Chaplin who suffers a lot from that machine. This particular scene is the most hilarious one. But if we think deeply then we realize that the man who stands near Chaplin who doesn't think about his suffering… and he was working like Chaplin don't have emotions like machines. His behavior is like he was dealing with a machine but actually he experiments on lived human beings.

The final scene in 'The Modern Times' is stunning, and in many ways. There is a message of hope amidst the poverty of the Depression, with Chaplins responding to Goddard feeling overwhelmed and defeated by saying Buck up - never say die. We then see his signature move, walking off down the road, but this time he is not alone, he has Goddard with him, which could be viewed as overcoming through love and togetherness.

As we know that the Corona crisis is going on, online teaching has become very important. So we are trying to make a new path to celebrate Teachers day. Now is the time Teachers have to know how to deal with online teaching platforms. So this celebration was very helpful to us, we got a concept of how to engage students in online teaching. 

Here I want to share my experience particularly making this lesson video. It takes lots of passion and hard work. How to set Camara, how to manage light and especially to manage the background noise. I have faced many problems because of background noise. If we are at home then that becomes a difficult task. 

      If there is any mistake by Camara and etc we have to retake a shot. So in a way that two days take a lot of multitasking. I am working from my mobile phone so some features and software do not work in Mobile phones so how to manage all the things that become important. While making auto generated certificates we have to be careful for each and every steps.  So in a way that was a tremendous day for me.

      But, it was a kind of experience that helps us in future teaching. So I had learnt so many things. Now I am familiar with many apps that I am using in my presentation video. I want to say that it was my best day that in a single day I had learnt so many things together.

      So in a way this is a great experience for me. I enjoyed it a lot. You might be interested in this celebration.

If you have any questions regarding this presentation then free ask in comment section.

Thank you 😊!!

Bilingualism, Trilingualism and Multilingualism.

 Hello friends 👋

      Here I come with an interesting blog on ELT ( English Language Teaching ).  Here I am discussing three terms and I have found and written different words and day to day phrases in English as well as different languages. It would be a great experience to learn many other languages. How the particular word is pronounced in different languages.  I am using gif and images so it would be an interesting one.

So let's have fun together…...

        👉   Three terms are :

1.  Bilingualism,

2. Trilingualism,

3.  Multilingualism

    So first of all I would like to discuss ' 'Bilingualism'' that means fluency in or use of two languages. Bilingualism is the ability to speak or understand two languages or the regular use of two languages. The adjective bilingual is most commonly used to describe someone who can speak or understand two languages, especially with some level of fluency.

 Trilingualism is the ability to speak three languages. Fluency in three languages.

Multilingualism is the ability of an individual speaker or a community of speakers to communicate effectively in four or more languages. Contrast with monolingualism, the ability to use only one language. A person who can speak multiple languages is known as a polyglot or a multilingual.

Let's discuss the example.

1. Bilingualism :

Good bye (English )

Au revoir ( French )

2. Trilingualism :

Good bye ( English)

Addio  ( Italian Language)

Sayonara  ( Japanese )

3. Multilingualism :

Good bye (English)

🙂🙂

Au revoir ( French )

Alavida ( Nepali language )

Addio  ( Italian Language)

Sayonara  (Japanese )

Next day to day life phase is " Have a nice day or Have a good day ".......

 Let's see how is in other languages :

👉 Have a nice day ! ( English)

👉 Dina ranro hosa ( Nepali )

 

👉 Apala divas changala javo ( Marathi )आपला दिवस चांगला जावो

👉 Bonne journée ! ( Greek )

👉 Hav en god dag ( Danish )

Next is an interesting  one

" I hate you "

👉 I hate you ( English)

👉 Ich hasse dich ( German)

👉 Je te deteste ( French )

👉 Ami apanake ghrna Kari ( Bangla)

👉 Se miso ( Greek )

That's all form my side Bonne journée ! and Addio.

Thank you 😊

Corona epidemic And me

Hello friend !

                   Welcome to my blog. You all might have a wonderful lockdown and stay at home with your family members.  How wonderful that we know very well. Here I come with a new idea. That is about our day to day in this corona epidemic.  So today's topic is :

" Epidemic and Me "

              This task is given by Vaidehi ma'am. It is an interesting one.  Let's begin. Here I want to express my experience of how I am looking at the Corona epidemic and what is the feeling ,what difficulties I am facing throughout these days. How my mind wants to be or what I really want to be.

            We all are still in the period of Covid 19 epidemic. How long is going on that we can't say this. As each and every situation isn't the same for everyone. So the days of lockdown are quite normal. Because I  am living in a village area. And in our village we don't have any cases of Corona till this day, when I am writing about my experience. But the fear is the horrible thing. But when everything is in phase of lockdown then citizens come to villages. So I was very insecure because now the fear of Corona coming close to me.

              As a student of literature and criticism if you don't want to observe then also it comes to our eyes and ears. This interesting or you can say a disturbing thing is how other people misunderstood the  whole thing.how they reacted on various aspects. So I think two or three hours definitely to understand the concept of many government yojana and how these Corona spread and that all the things. Sometimes they tell me that don't give us too much information ..give us the point information. And sometimes they said that please you don't explain, may be my critical thinking  and my point they can't understand.

So I was rejected sometimes. ( In this epidemic  I am analysing how much the situation is and how news channels are showing 

            Like others, I do not stay at home for 24 hours because we have to do farming at a time. So I am helping my family members to work on the farm. That will give me happiness. But all the time one thing is there in mind that is how others face problems because of this epidemic. People die before they reach their home. That thing disturb me.

                 So I am thinking that how can I help other people so I have sewing art, so I am making masks for others.  That through I am helping others.

             As a girl I have pressure to learn how to cook each and every dish. My mother and grandmother had  told me that that is the best time for you to learn the best cooking ( experience makes perfect ). So that's all things going on in day to day life.

             Now I would like to talk about my educational journey.  There is lots of time for reading and learning new things .  I watched many movies and web series ( that are in my watchlist ). And also attending lots of webinars with various interesting topics. At a time the tension of examination is going on. I personally feel like I am a pawn. We can't do anything. A situation like waiting and watching just one thing we used to do is " stay home". If I am talking about the present situation then that is much better because we have started our virtual classroom.

             So in this way I used the days of the epidemic that are going on. Sometimes it's too boring, but the habit of reading makes me comfortable with things. And also I would like to say that my creativity level increased this time.

       That's all  !

     Good bye.
