The Age of Innocence was originally a novel, written by Edith Wharton in 1920. She based the book upon the society her parents and herself grew-up in, however, Martin Scorsese recreated and adapted this novel into a successful film in 1993. ... Scorsese’s main objective was to create and produce a successful film and to make money. ... Yet, Scorsese wanted to make the diegesis as real as possible and created the authenticity of this world. Both, Martin Scorsese and Edith Wharton create the world from two different angles but very successfully. ... Scorsese helps us to understand this because he makes the narrator seem like our tour guide, explaining who each character was and their position in society. ...
Scorsese used many tactics to make the Age of Innocence a success. He had to use the key components of a film: narratives, characters, themes and iconography, to create authenticity so the audience believes in the film. ... Any filmmaker, who can apply these components, will create authenticity and a film which audiences can relate to, believe in and enjoy.
Scorsese used many picture shots, which were camera shots giving the same image as painting they were so beautiful. ... We can then start to have different feelings for each of the characters
Scorsese also uses many cinematic techniques to create a sense of the ‘other worldliness’ within the diegesis. ...
Scorsese obviously did a lot of research into this period of time to enable him make the film more authentic. ... However, Scorsese could not get this original, so to make the film as authentic as possible, he adapted this scene so the Narrator told us ‘Return of Spring’ was in the drawing room as Newland passed it. ... Therefore Scorsese had created the mise-en-scene so realistically that the changes are happily accepted.
