The scenery and the set for this production was western themed. Starting with down stage right was a pair of two horses, with a saddle for the actors to sit on. These horses had adjustable heads and backside for the actors to pull on, in order for the horse to come to life. Behind the horses was a painting of the blue sky with clouds, making it look like they were riding off in the distance. In certain scenes, they would have mountains, which were paintings on wood stacked upon each other starting with the shortest wooden painting center stage, and the tallest wooden painting up center stage. I believe they did this to add depth to the mountains. Behind the mountains the cyclorama is blue, making a blue sky over the mountains. When they had

    In the film The New World you could clearly say that one could relate it to the writings of Captain John Smith since he is one of the main characters of the movie. Although I believe John Smith was portrayed less arrogantly in the movie than in his journals, we didn’t learn any new information about him in the film. Two major themes throughout the movie that connect with what we have been learning about in class are nature and the sense of community. The use of creating a sense of beauty was used in this movie by the way the director made it.…

As the soldier observes innocent creatures being destroyed and watches death occur, he must not let this affect him as he has to block it out.

    Evaluating the Intertwining of First Native Culture and Indigenous Literature: Richard Wagamese’s Indian Horse In English literature a formalist movement in the mid 20th century that emphasized the relationship between a text’s idea and its form - known as New Criticism - continues to strongly influence modern academic writing. New Criticism specifies that the object of study ought to be the text itself, not the response or the motivation of its author or readers. Rarely do New Criticism texts have direct and concrete consequences. However, Indigenous writer, Richard Wagamese, author of “Indian Horse”, reels further from New Criticism and closer towards a writing style grounded upon Indigenous peoples aspect of a culture that revolves around…

People are walking around, we see dust being kicked up as people move, as well as the normal sounds of the hustle and bustle of a western…

    Classical Hollywood and neorealism are two important movements that have equally influenced the development of filmmaking. They both engage the audience into the film but their narrative conventions do differ from each other. The significance of the location and actors used differentiates the two approaches; as neorealism focuses on portraying reality by avoiding the glimmer of Hollywood stars and mise-en-scène. This allows neorealism to express the natural occurrences in life and the social issues of its time. CHC is known to use continuity editing to produce a naturalistic flow in its narrative to engage the audience in the film, but neorealism avoids these techniques because they simply illustrate an illusion of reality.…
