Books and movies go together like peanut butter and jelly. The author’s work becomes a feature length movie entertaining more people than have ever even heard of the book. While many audience members leave the theater with their jaws on the floor, some audience members leave a little disappointed. They see all the details that the movie got wrong, big or small.

The audience went crazy and applauded during this scene. He normally went to the movies alone. He could not remember the last time he took his wife to to the movies or anywhere else. Inside…

1. What short film screened in class have you connected with the most? Why? The short film that I connected to the most was not one that was screened in class but it is part of the course. The short film is “Until the Quiet Comes”. The movie has a very strange visual storytelling style that draws me constantly to the screen. The visual organization of elements on screen are really iconic. The scene that impacts me the most are the dead child on the ground with lines of blood spread out like…

My intended major is film studies. My career goals are to be a professional editor that My interest in film began when I met a movie, “The Mummy” in 2000. The director, Stephen Sommers, filmed this action and adventure movie about Egypt in 1999. This film told me different ethnic culture and it gave a shock to my heart. The mummy had the fast pacing with a lot of action, comedy, and special CG effects. It was my first time to watch the Egyptian culture movie and was interested. I was raised and…

When I was thirteen, my sisters and I tried our hand at filmmaking by entering in Harford County Public Library's book trailer video contest. Our first ever film went on to win second place. With this newfound interest in film, I began spending several hours each week volunteering in the video production department at my church. This volunteer position enhanced my skills and showed me how filmmaking can be used as a powerful agent for social good. When I began my college journey at the age of…

As children we are raised to always have respect for authority figures, no matter what positon they’re in. An example of this would be the way students respect their teachers in the classroom because of the teachers’ expert power (McCroskey, Richmond 1983). In this case expert power is the student’s perception that the teacher is competent and knowledgeable in all areas of study (McCroskey, Richmond 1983). But when you think about it, how much of this urge to respect our teachers comes from what…

There are many possible ways that my privilege as a counselor can impact my less fortunate or oppressed clients. For one, being a counseling psychologist my salary can range between $56,49-$72,691 a year. Of course that is with a bachelor’s degree or higher, which also plays a factor in my privilege as a counselor.

On Sunday night at 8 o’clock, I observed these two girls at the Cup A Joe on Hillsborough Street to determine their nonverbal behaviors. Nonverbal communication is communication without words. More specifically, I am focusing on five nonverbal channels, including body, face, eyes, space, and artifacts to observe the behaviors. While I was observing the girls, it became obvious that they were friends catching up on the latest gossip. Nonetheless, the meeting was casual but relaxed. The two girls…
