A sequence I might write about in the second half of The Departed is the scene where Billy begins to chase Collin shorty after he sees him conversing with Frank Costello in a movie theater. In this sequence there is a jump cut as well as a short series of shots with repetition of action. This sequence seems heavily influenced by Eisenstein and reminds me a bit of the Odessa Steps sequence because of its fast paced and chaotic nature (as well as the editing).

Based on acts one and two I would say that The Cabinet of Dr. Claigari follows the style of Melies more than the Lumiere Brothers. Like the Melies' film we watched, this film uses props and costumes to give the film character and to create its own fictional world. This film also follows Melies in the simple fact that it is a story unlike the Lumiere shorts we watched which seemed to be more of a record of real life.

One sequence of The Departed that I would write about in my final paper is in the first 20 minutes when there are multiple cuts between Billy (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Colin (Matt Damon)firing their guns in different places which creates a tension between the two. The tension and relationships between characters also seems unpredictable and potentially fateful because of Frank Costello's inconsistently violent nature.
