Edgar Wright is a really great director who knows how to make people laugh. He is known for his Comedic Cornetto Trilogy, and the movies I will be talking about are “Shaun of the Dead”, and “Hot Fuzz” are the two of them. The scenes display the kind of style he uses in the films, and by using film techniques it helps show the style by how effective it is. Techniques such as music, sound effects, camera work e.g close ups, mid shots, and characters. Wright uses these techniques to grab people’s…

The next time I walk-in into any store I would surely observe more than I ever have until now. The reason simply being that in the last couple of days I have learnt so much about organisational culture and its different aspects that I can no longer look at any organisation the way I used to look at it before. Earlier, whenever I used to visit a store, it never occurred to me that everything that I could possibly see in that store was meant to be the way it is for a reason. I was unaware of the…

In the world of art and sculpture, Edgar Degas’ The Little Dancer’s meaning is decidedly undecided. When the sculpture was first presented to the world in 1881, people reacted strongly in both good and bad ways because of just how different this sculpture was. The figure is rigid – in what looks like a stretch – and the face isn’t posed but natural and what some would call ugly. I found the sculpture to be profoundly refreshing due to the detail in every part of it, the unique authenticity, and…

Edgar Wright is a good director who is known for using different genres and twisting them to make them comedic. He has directed many films such as Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and also The World’s End which is his comedic ‘Three Flavours Cornetto film trilogy’.

These are still important parts, even though they are…

stumbled upon the trailer for a movie called Baby Driver. Suffice to say, I was underwhelmed despite an all-star cast such as Jamie Foxx, Jon Ham, and Kevin Spacey. Only a few weeks later did the Rotten Tomato score come out, and Baby Driver, directed by Edgar Wright reached an impossible score of 100%. Right then and there I decided to give Baby Driver a chance and I was not disappointed. Baby Driver follows the life of a young man named Baby (Ansel Elgort (?),) whose job is to drive getaway…
