How distinctive voices are used to draw the responder into the experiences of others and allow different perspectives to be explored in a single text. Thank you for having me today, I want to thank Damian Trewhella, the CEO of Australian Film Institute especially for allowing me to be able to be here today. It’s been a great honour to be here with you all as I have been informed that, here in front of me are the great teachers of Australia, the top teachers in the world. As of today’s topic, “How distinctive voices are used to draw the responder into the experiences of others and allow different perspectives to be explored in a single text.” I am here to talk about how distinctive voices can resonate through other mediums such as a Moon in …show more content…
A medium that is heavily focused on in my film, “One Night, the Moon” would be the perspectives and one of them are the white white culture. They are seen as the colonisers who sought only to dominate the landscape through the building of houses and use it to only benefit themselves. In the song, “This land is mine”, I deliberately made Paul Kelly who was playing as Jim Ryan sing in a nasal pitch and tone which symbolises how little he cares for the land as there is no soul and passion for the land. Juxtaposed to when Kelton Pell, playing as Albert Yang also known as Black Tracker who had a deeper and smoother voice showing that love and connection he has towards the land. The line “ This land is me, This land owns me” also pushes on the points that Albert Yang doesn’t see the land as property he can own, but an idol that should be worshipped and served. Through his dedication to the land, Jim is threatened by this forcing Albert to leave due to how racial barrier and how during this time period, there were some attacks on the white culture by Aboriginal warriors who utilised guerilla warfare to massacre the white people so that their land wouldn’t suffer under the white people’s
Introduction: Have you ever read a book and wondered how the author conveys the impact of character choices on themself, others and the world? Well in ‘Bridge to Terabithia’, Katherine Paterson uses multiple language forms and features to convey the impact of characters choices on others. These techniques include, Exclamation, Onomatopoeia, and Emotive Language. Paterson’s use of exclamation, explores the idea that Leslie’s choice to go over to Terabithia in the rain impacted on many people who knew Leslie, as well as making an impact on Leslie herself has she tragically passed away. By using onomatopoeia, Paterson expresses how the classroom reacted to Leslie’s statement about how she doesn’t own a television, as the class was very shocked.
Your understanding of what DV means Distinctively visual is utilised by composers to bring their unique ideas to life ultimately shaping the responder’s perspective and understanding. The module allows the responders to empathise with the composer through exploring the composer’s experience and perception of the world. How composers have used techniques to create the DV Distinctively visual created by Henry Lawson in ‘In a dry season’ and ‘the drover’s wife’, explores his experience and perspective of the Australian outback. In a dry season, Henry uses imagery, irony and imperative voice and in the drover’s wife, he uses tone, metaphor and alliteration. His effective use of literary techniques create a provocative images of the remoteness and idleness of the Australian outback and the bushmen and women’s hardships and challenges of surviving the harsh condition.
I have acknowledged Stevenson’s vocal delivery and how it resonated with the audience while listening to his “Ted talk speech”. ( ) He would modify the loudness of his voice as the story’s tone shifted or when he wanted the audience to engage and interest the public. He addressed the audience by using his pitch and, when appropriate, an expressive tone of voice as part of his vocal delivery.” Stevenson’s vocal delivery and how it resonated.

“The screen is a magic medium. It has such power that it can convey emotions and moods that no other art form can hope to tackle.” The written word and the moving image have always had their entwining roots deeply entrenched in similar narrative codes, both functioning at the level of implication, connotation and referentiality. But ever since the advent of cinema, they have been pitted against each other over formal and cultural peculiarities – hence engaging in a relationship deemed “overtly compatible, secretly hostile” (Bluestone 2).
The novel ‘Jasper Jones’ written by Craig Silvey and the film ‘Dressmaker’ directed by Jocelyn Moorhouse have connected to the audience and use of narratives conventions in very similar ways. The ways that they have succeed doing this is through characteristics, plot and setting. By looking into how they are used by the author/ director widen the knowledge and have deeper in-depth understanding on how authors and directors use them to connect with the audience. The author and director have used characteristics to connect with the audience by using relatable situations like peer pressure, disliked by people, challenges and traumatic experiences.
The fact that Apu is voiced by a white man, Hank Azaria, makes South Asians feel depreciated and unrepresented. Apu “totally f-ked with [people’s] childhood” and actors even get asked to do “the Apu accent.” Rao connects with the readers through people’s anecdotes. The personal anecdotes used, make the reader feel empathetic toward the South Asians affected by Apu.
Storytelling has been a part of people's’ lives since the beginning of time. It started with just verbal communication, then it was translated into written word, and now there hundreds of ways to tell those same stories. Movies and books, for example, are two very different ways to tell stories to an audience. A story can be a book, but not a movie or vice versa. Many books are made into movies, but lose major elements in translation.
He wants them to feel eager to go with him while he recaps his “favorite book in all the world.” He continues the intimate storytelling as he allows the audience to see his vulnerability and experience his emotions alongside him. In addition to tone, narrative presence is used to help enhance Goldman’s
Using distinctively visual, sensory language and dramatic devices in texts allows the reader and audience to view as well as participate and relate to different emotions. In the fictional play “Shoe Horn Sonata” written by John Misto, 1995, Misto sets the scene by using dramatic devices to address the extremely confronting circumstances that the protagonists, Sheila and Bridie experience. Similarly, in the poem “Beach Burial” by Kenneth Slessor, 1944, Slessor too uses extremely strong visual language on the subject of war to overcome the gruesome realities of the subject matter. Misto’s play “Shoe Horn Sonata” shares the impacting journey two young women are forced to face, spending 1287 days in captivity in a Sumatran war camp, during world war two.
‘Two Days, One Night’ is a deep investigation of human values that slowly transcends into a genre of its own. The Dardenne brothers - known for depicting hard-hitting social values with a realist aesthetic - have written and directed another richly textured film with thick emotional layers to unveil the superficiality of community relationships. Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, through their writing, slow cook the proceedings of this social drama with a stark alacrity that simmers the audience in anticipation.
Jim’s ability to oversee what he was, shows how deep and sophisticated Jim’s character is. Jim’s move to maturity is also signifyingly evident, Jim’s nature of being a man before his time is shown through his way of viewing the war after his involvement in the Great War. “The world when you looked from both sides was quite other than a placid, slow-moving dream, without change of climate or colour and a time and place for all.” (pg. 103). Jim’s character has grown up from his innocence, his has lost his vison of a beautiful world, and has shown that all the beauty of nature has no place in a war.
Words made the stories so interesting that it bothered many of the listeners. “Whether you know it or not, keep it to yourself. I don’t like it when someone kills a story right in the middle” (Schami 219). The stories had people so deeply encaptured that whether or not they had heard it, they were ready to hear it again told by a different person and from a different perspective. “There are other stories about listeners who were so curious or in such a state of suspense, they couldn’t sleep.”
Film allows responders to didactically understand the contrasting emotions portrayed to appreciate individual and collective human experiences. “Billy Elliot” by Stephen Daldry, explores through the characterisation of Billy Elliot the significance of the challenges tied with adversity, the search for identity and the pursuit of dreams as a collective human experience. Daldry’s film manifests the theme of breaking a stereotype and persevering through hardships to achieve his ultimate goal of being a professional ballet dancer. Through text, we come to acknowledge that with adversity comes difficult situations consequently causing individuals to be portrayed as an anomaly. Daldry’s use of characterisation between Billy and his father reveal
Final Analysis Writers of works of literature have long employed various stylistic devices to execute their literary objectives. Some of these stylistic devices include – but are not limited to – the use of settings, theme, and characters. Furthermore, such works can be analyzed, understood and interpreted through the lens of theories such as Feminism, Post-colonialism, and Existentialism.

Through the use of the mentioned stylistic devices, writers are able to demonstrate links that exist between their works of literature and theories such as Feminism, Post-colonialism, and Existentialism.
When using a different style and voice in a writing, the expression on the readers can change by a whole criteria, for example, Mars uses a more sympathetic way of writing in his lyrics by perfecting his love by telling the readers her strength. This affects the poem by giving the reader an optimistic view of Mars. Whereas, Shakespeare uses more of an opposing writing by telling the reader about his mistresses many weaknesses and bad points, this gives a negative view to the reader about the speaker. In a flash, a script can change the readers view from positive to negative or negative to
