To me, the writing process is very complex and intimidating. English is my second language I have never attended school in the United States so most of the writing process to me is a challenge. Frequently, the most difficult part of writing is starting to write. Therefore, I never procrastinate with my assignments. It takes me twice as long to write an essay than other people. Having some level of stress associated with writing is often an indication that a person cares about doing well at it.…

because of how familiar I am with the writing. That also explains why peer editing is a fantastic benefit to my paper; the reviewer has never seen my work and has a blank state of mind when editing. Therefore, the errors that they encounter compared to how many I encounter are exponential. After going through the editing done by a peer, I notice those and correct them accordingly, but there is more to it than just editing a paper. Familiarizing myself with those corrections makes me a…

had issues with the type of language, the portrayal, the grammar/mechanics of the writing, and the overall elaboration of the sentences. These aren’t difficult problems to fix, just careless mistakes. Most of these problems can be fixed with more editing, which comes to the most common mistake of my writing, revising. Although I do revise, I always miss small details that my instructor is sure to unearth. But, there are so many resources available that can easily help with these, for example:…

By exploiting the communicability of parallel editing and common transitional devices, Stanley Kramer augments the narrative and visually discloses the interrelationships at play in Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner. From graphic match to the harsh variation between different shot/reverse-shot sequences, Kramer is able to establish “sides” in this controversial marriage decision. In addition, Kramer ascertains Matt Drayton’s centrality; by lingering on Drayton’s individual scenes and diverging from…

Our brains use the questions who, what, where, when, why, and how to make sense of the world. How do a writer, director, and editor utilize these questions in creating a film? The writer decides the characters and how they will react in different situations and their personalities. They also decide the setting of the movie and why a particular scene should be shot there. He also coordinates with the director and producer to accomplish the “what” in a given shot. A film director is responsible…

This idea can be found within the butterfly/domino effect. In terms of tone, the movie was all over the place. It ranged from comedic, to dramatic, to everything in between. The purpose of this decision was to give the audience whiplash at first and then gradually acclimate them to the characters, aesthetic, and plot points within the movie. 2. At the…

One of the most significant breakthroughs that occurred in the scientific world recently is the creation of CRISPR. CRISPR stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, which are strands of DNA that have the ability to precisely change the genetic code in every species4 (6:30- 6:57). Genes control all of an organism’s traits and characteristics. Characteristics that CRISPR can modify range from significant alterations such as immunity to deadly diseases, to superficial…
