The scene from the show Annedroids provided to us includes four characters having a conversation outside, one of these characters being a CGI robot. The scene consists of seven different shots that vary in lighting and colour, posing a problem for the colourist who would need to adjust them for continuity. One of the noticeable challenges with this footage were the differences between Anne’s close…

other professions. In addition, yet another reason to question to the effectiveness of these cameras is that they are often not even admissible in a court of law. Despite video evidence, police officers often can find ways around being connected by footage even if the evidence is very clear because jurors are presented with two-dimensional information that can be misinterpreted. Various analyzes and “statistics show that officers involved in the fatal shootings of civilians, particularly those…

important argument is who should control the footage recorded. “Police departments across the country have increasingly used body cameras to record interactions with the public. Some politicians and activists have seized on the cameras as way to restore transparency to policing. Some police departments, however, are blocking access to the footage the cameras record.” (Murphy, Police body cameras: A struggle over who controls the footage) Actions like blocking footage and turning off cameras are…

Behind the Blair Witch Introduction In 1999, audiences around the world wandered into a low-budget thriller wondering if the documentary they were about to see was real footage of the last horrific moments of young filmmakers lost in the harried woods of Western Maryland. For over a year, recovered footage about their disappearance had been continuously viewed and updated on the movie’s website and missing persons advertisements depicting the trio’s disappearance had been disseminated…

In “The Allegory of the Cave,” an important distinction is made between two types of people, people who are blissfully ignorant and people who are painfully enlightened. The people who are blissfully ignorant choose to see things as they think they are; they mistake appearance for reality. These are the people who remain shackled to the wall, are unable to move their legs or heads, and, “see only their own shadows, or the shadows of one another” (Plato 587). These people remain in the darkness,…

Police Body Cameras: Truth is a matter of perspective and perception. For example, when a crime occurs, witnesses can give starkly different statements on what took place. Sometimes the best teller of the truth can be video footage from a camera. Therefore, when police officers wear body cameras it is beneficial to the suspect, as well as the officer, because they provide an unbiased account of what truly happened. The American people have been pushing the issue of body cameras because there…

mentioned films, Bowling For Columbine portrays is a one-sided truth that unswervingly aligns with Michael Moore’s opinion. Although the arguments made in the film hold strong ties to the truth, his manipulation of the interviews, clips, and archival footage combine to make a downright prejudiced film. Yet, it still manages to convey a strong message. However, unlike many other partisan documentaries, Moore doesn’t fully silence the opposing opinion. Instead, he includes the voice of the other…

excessive force on anyone. Citizens will be able to see everything that happened in that case because most likely the footage will be released to the public to show what happened or so that citizens can also be cautioned. Though there is one reason that i don't think they should use body cameras and that is because the police will have access to viewing the footage. Viewing the footage will let them be able to manipulate anything that was inaudible and make it reasonable for their actions. …

a little more. The cut clarifies many plot points many viewers had issues with. During my initial view in March, I had no clue what was happening the majority of the time. Especially with the whole framing superman plot. The 30 minutes of extra footage benefits Clark Kent/ Superman the most. Showing that he actually has journalistic skills.
