Journal 1 After the first two weeks of lecture in Cinema Appreciation I have learned a great deal more about what goes into making a film. I was under the impression that there was one magical camera that could change settings to capture the diverse range of images instantaneously. Active viewing was something, I thought I did, but it wasn’t until I took a step back and saw the variety of shots and how each one of them is put together that I realized that there is more then one way to watch a…

want to breed with the sow they want. Some other points of interest include superovulation which is allowed several embryos/ eggs from a single donor, more than they would usually produce. Some people have gone so far as to start cloning animals like Dolly the sheep who was the first animal to be cloned from an adult. (Sandøe, P., Christiansen, S., & Gamborg, C. n.d). The further ethical implications of ignoring genetic diseases such as PSS are quite large and hard to comprehend. There are many…

Music In this century of ours there are thousands of artists who strive on selling their music to the world. However there is one very iconic artist that has transformed the lives of people in many ways. That artist is Taylor swift. How Taylor arose to claim the air of fame she now possesses all started form her early years. Ever from a young age she was always inclined towards singing and song writing. However she became so passionate about it she would do it for long periods of time, so much…

Since Watson and Crick unraveled the structure of DNA, much controversy has sparked regarding biotechnology and its ethics. According to BBC, biotechnology includes “any use of science or technology to alter the characteristics of a particular breed or animal.”1 Many believe that biotechnology will have unexpected adverse consequences and some claim that it is tampering with God’s creations. Contrary, many scientists counterargue that it has shown potential in producing unprecedented vaccines,…

After Dolly the sheep, it seemed that it was no possible to clone all sorts of animals. The process of obtaining a single working nucleus from any cell, put it in a embryonic cell without a nucleus, and create an entire animal is somatic cloning. Woolly mammoths went extinct four thousand years ago. Their frozen bodies have well preserved tissue and hair which made believing that finding a working cellular nucleus would be easy. This potentially could make it possible to clone a wooly mammoth.…

It also helps the filmmakers set the tone of the movie (eg. more dramatic or more suspenseful) I am again referring to the scene in the film where Walter is running down the hallway full of Life magazine covers. The angle is known as a Tracking or Dolly Shot. Basically, it is a linear movement of the camera alongside a moving object (Walter). It helps us show that he is running, in a cool and interesting way. It allows us to see this as an exciting moment for Walter. Another example is when…

Cloning refers to the development of offspring that are genetically identical to their parent. This can be done in lots of ways naturally and artificially. An example is when a scientist clone organism artificially they take an adult animal and create the clone by the processes of artificial twinning and somatic cell nuclear transfer. While organisms such as hydras and coral use budding which is when a new organism grows off the body of the parent organism naturally until the new organism falls…

All living things are comprised of cells, the basic units of life. Some organisms have only one cell.6 The human body, however, has more than ten trillion cells.6 In plants and animals, cells perform specific functions.6 One example of this is neurological cells transmitting information in the brain.6 Specialized cells group together to form tissues which then form organs.6 Although cells do different jobs, all cells share common features.6. All cells are alive, they reproduce, and they die…

There was a time, before sound was introduced to film and culture was hand picked for society, when stars were born and bred on the stage. Actors who grew an understanding of their craft by clocking in rehearsal hours, feeding off an audience during live performances, and praying to the right gods, were signed on for a starring role in a film: an advancement in their career. Today, the craft of acting and the medium in which an actor is showcased have changed landscapes and the up-and-coming…
