    One major thing that caught my attention in the documentary “Bigger Stronger Faster” was the comparison of people being allergic to peanuts. We are so quick to ban things when we can attach a personal moral wrongness to it, and scare tactics are put into effect to further the ban of such things. “Bigger Stronger Faster” compared the reefer madness movie to the scare tactics that were used about steroids, which I think was a good comparison. If there is the possibility of ill effects of the use of steroids I believe, like was stated in the movie, a warning of such things should be put into place for circumstances such as this. It was recommended by the DEA, FDA, and the AMA that steroids should not be treated the same as illicit drugs.…

    As the Cold War waging between the Soviet Union and the United States heightened, the perceived threat posed by the Communists became known as the Red Scare. The spread of Communism and the possibility of an international nuclear war invaded the minds of Americans with a sense of constant threat. Literature, films, and other products of the warring period reflected these fears of a Communist invasion and an annihilation from atomic warfare. To protect the American culture and values, the nation adopted a nationalistic ambience that was imposed on all the people living in the United States; using social media and other methods of propaganda, the government was able to impose their ideologies onto their citizens. America’s society was constructed…

    From the title of the film I expected the two-hour real-time portrayal of Cléo to be fairly dull. I personally cannot recall a two hour period of my life that would have made for an riveting movie. Though with this I expected the film to have heavy social commentary. I was surprised from the start of the film with the use of color in the opening scene. Though this excitement was short lived as the movie continued in black and white after the fortuneteller scene cut to the actress’ faces.…

    One of the movies that we viewed in this course was L. A. Confidential directed by Curtis Hanson and based on the novel L. A. Confidential written by James Ellroy. This was a newer film compared to the previous films that we had watched, it also happens to be my favorite film we have watched so far. With that, it presented some similar characteristics and traits like the other films, but it also created new emerging characteristics that would continue with this film genre. Some of the traits that are shared with other films include: the film takes place in a city, there is always at least one detective who is trying to crack the mystery, and the heavy influence of drinking, smoking cigarettes and other drugs as well. There have also been some new introductions to this movie genre which include: situations where a femme fatale is present, different camera angles, and low lighting became very common as well.…

    In the 2014 short film ASMAT- Nomi per tutte le vittime in mare (names in memory of all victims of the sea.), director Dagmawi Yimer illuminates the tragedy of the migrant lives lost to the Mediterranean in experimental form. For the majority of the film, a narrator lists the names of the migrants who died in a shipwreck on October 3, 2013, after opening the film with a partially-sung monologue from a migrant's perspective. Yimer depicts the names that are read aloud as shrouded forms bobbing up and down in clear ocean water and as watercolor portraits of their living faces and bodies. Towards the middle of the film, the camera views the huddled mass from above, turning blindly under thick white sheets, then dives underwater after swaying on the surface for a moment, weaving through the actors' arms and legs as the names of the lost are repeated and translated.…

    As far as techniques, to make the film feel more genuine, jumps and shifts are created through editing. One scene that continued to happen was the actors use of stairs and tunnels. This made the film feel that it was more than just inside a frame because it gave the film levels and depth. The use of montage is used for instance when you see the character begin to go up the stairs and then there is a cut and he is already at the top of the staircase leaving. This is an aspect that also made the film seem so realistic because you as a person know what it is like to do such actions so it makes the audience easy to relate to Antonio’s…

    The movement starts with a very mysterious tone with the instruments playing ascending and descending conjunct scales very quickly. Additionally, the instruments gradually layer on top of one another and then return to a single instrument over and over again to audibly depict the rising and falling of the waves. This layering and very strong sound can correlate to the sharp dark blue color of the waves in the woodblock print As the piece continues, the mood changes back and forth between mysterious, pleasant, and franticly distressed, which are different emotions that one can experience while at sea. These shifts in mood are sudden and random, just as the weather at sea often rapidly changes and causes those on ships, perhaps the ships in the woodblock artwork, to quickly change their attitudes towards being at sea. Around two minutes and ten seconds, higher pitched instrument take over and evoke a very airy feel that can be related to the wind swirling around.…
