Palmer GNGL Prompt 1

Although the content of Good Night and Good Luck was very good, the execution of the film was outdated for the present. I understand that the movie was filmed this way to be reminiscent of the time portrayed in the film. However, the film lacked variety and did not hold my attention.

The film lacked a wide variety of scene locations. While this technique helped to keep me grounded in the location, it failed to keep me engaged in the action of the scene. If memory serves me correct, the film spanned mainly over four locations, primarily the studio. Also, the close up frames did not have any positive effect on the film. The reason for this is because the majority of the character did not offer a wide variety of facial expressions and emotional content. The only real emotions expressed were happiness, sadness, and anger. The black and white did not help the film. It created a dull atmosphere and limited the visual affect that the film could have had on me and other viewers. Once everything has been considered, one can say that these affects made for a lackluster film. The movie had great substance, but it was visually exhausting.
