Scientific Essay from the year 2013 in the subject History of Europe - Modern Times, Absolutism, Industrialization, grade: A, Bournemouth University, course: Stuart History, language: English, abstract: Louis XIV was known as ¿the Sun King¿ and his control over the culture of court life at the notorious palace of Versailles and his use of the visual arts were not only ways to celebrate the rule of 'le Roi-Soleil' but also an attempt to enhance royal authority. In his ¿Memoires¿, Louis argued that it was essential for the monarch to be constantly visible and accessible to his subjects. France in 1610 was very unstable and it wasn't until the introduction of Richelieu by 1624 that a more cohesive policy of representation could be followed. By the end of Louis XIII's reign, in 1643 France had faced much noble discontent and rebellion, there was limited manipulation of the visual arts and court ritual. This was due to the contrasting aims of Louis XIII who had to secure his position before attempting to make a decisive strategy of the delivery of his public image.

Scientific Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Didactics for the subject French - Literature, Works, grade: First, Bournemouth University, language: English, abstract: This paper focuses on Jeunet's use of post production techniques to create a distinctive atmosphere or 'mise-en-scene' to the narrative, arguing that these processes create another layer of meaning to the action on screen. It also looks into the wider issue of Jeunet's representation of Paris itself, arguing that although he has created an unrealistic image of the city with little notion of the 'real' Paris that these aspects contribute to the success of the film. Finally, it analyses the postmodern techniques Jeunet employs, arguing that by utilising these techniques within the scene he has a stronger hold on his directorial control, creating an engaging film that not only draws the audience further into the action, but aids his own postmodern ideal of grasping onto the small pleasure in life. These factors all work hand in hand within this short scene, Jeunet marries this mix of techniques together to create an aesthetic signature that adds to the success of his award winning film.
