Chasing Amy Study Of Film And Media Being one of my favorite movies and consequently watching it in class I chose the movie “Chasing Amy” written by Kevin Smith. The two main characters, Holden (Ben Affleck) and Alyssa (Joey Lauren Adams), get into a relationship transforming from friends to lovers. I chose this film because the cinematography in it is great. Cinematography- is the technique of making a movie including both the shooting and the development of a film. Cinematography has existed for as long as film has. It can be used in many different forms, artistic expression, political belief's and to types of culture. Chasing Amy follows this pattern of cinematography with showing the relationships of Holden and Alyssa change into a budding romance. This movie is the third installment of Smith's "New Jersey Trilogy". "The New Jersey Trilogy" consists of two other films as well. The critically acclaimed Clerks and the not so critically acclaimed, Mallrats. "Clerks had been over-praised, Mallrats has been over-bashed, third time's the charm," (View Askew.com) Smith said on his website. The movie stars Ben Affleck as Holden McNeel, an aspiring comic book artist who falls in love with another comic book artist, Alyssa Jones (Joey Lauren Adams).
