Another great example for production design in science fiction movies is the movie Ex Machina. To begin with, production design includes the design of sets which makes set design one of the most important aspects while producing a movie. For example, one of the points set design deals with is the location where the film is going to be shot. Funderburg (2015) explained that in the movie Ex Machina, they used two Norwegian locations both designed by the architects Jensen & Skodvin. One of the locations is a private mansion and the second one is the Juvet Landscape Hotel, which consists of single suites secretly linked to the fjord and forest around them (para. 2).…
Louisville was called “Rubber town” because Louisville was one of the main areas of rubber production during WWII to aid in the war effort. Since there was so much rubber being produced, it allowed other chemical companies to remain in business, which increased levels of pollution in Louisville. Since Louisville’s location is in a valley, a lot of air pollution flows to it, creating an even larger problem for the residence that live there. The amount of chemicals produced in Louisville and chemicals flowing to it were much higher than they should have been. West-end resident Eboni Cochran called her town “the walking dead” because the air pollution there was so bad.…
TANGERINE DIORAMA THE ERIK FISHER FOOTBALL Maryem Bouatlaoui 6A For my diorama project, I used the scene where Erik Fisher, the antagonist, flips over, thinking that he was going to make a field goal. It turns out, Antoine Thomas, the protagonist, took the ball and made a two-point conversion instead. I believe that this was the scene that foreshadowed the Erik Fisher Football Dream's upcoming failure.…
I think a significant social trend would be the growth of films in the 1920’s. This is where sound in films was introduced to the world for the first time from a film presented as talkies like “The Jazz Singer.” Some key film genres also came to flourish during the decade like horror and romantic comedies. With the introducing of sound in films the concept of the movie appeared immediately. Before sound was introduced silent films were played with music when it was projected in the theater.…
Both the film, High Noon, and the story, “The Most Dangerous Game,” share a very similar setting that affects the course of the stories. “Near a landmark of some kind-a tree or an outcropping of a rock-a man on a horseback awaits”(Foreman 288). This quote is trying to demonstrate how the closest object, feature of a landmark or town of Hadleyville is a tree, which goes to show how detached from society the setting of High Noon is. “His eyes made out the shadowy outlines of a palatial chateau: it was set on a high bluff, and on three sides of it cliffs dived down to where the sea licked greedy lips in the shadows,”(Connell 7). This quote, which is talking about the short story, “The Most Dangerous Game,” is saying that there is one chateau,…
In recent years, developments and innovations in technology and sciences have allowed for people to reach new depths into the Earth’s crust. In the Earth’s crust, there is an abundance of natural resources that civilization seeks in fueling in future with the use of natural gas, oil, etc. Therefore, people have taken the opportunity with new developments such as fracking to essentially extract those natural resources from the very depths of the earth.

Moreover, sovereign states must deal with these possible complications and are inquired to impose various regulations upon those that frack for natural gas.…

However, man did not stop there. Man took it one step further and put in place a class system based on money and values.…
Though it teeters on the edge of loving its style far more than its substance, Edgar Wright's exhilarating Baby Driver is a film that takes the getaway driver/crime story and turns it on its ear. Almost Literally. Through the use of a near constant, 30-plus song soundtrack that keeps the music pulsing and shifting gears like the transmissions our titular character pushes to the limits in all the cars he commandeers and drives in and around a busy few weeks in Atlanta. Known as Baby, our soft-cheeked protagonist is played by Ansel Elgort, quietly exuding a simmering confidence as the #1 choice as getaway driver for Doc (Kevin Spacey), a ringleader of numerous heists and robberies in the city. Doc never uses the same team twice and Baby is constantly having to reintroduce himself to the ragtag crew Doc assembles.…
