us to the disused elevator shaft at the heart of the hotel where we would eventually board the ride. Once we were all seated, the distressed elevator box moved forward, while an eerie black and white movie played explaining what happened at the Hollywood Hotel many years ago.

Did you know that Fast and Furious at Universal Studios Hollywood took a lot of digital and animated work to make? Well, first before I tell you about that… I have to tell you about how I got to Hollywood or California period. It all started on a Monday of July 15th, 2014. My mom and I were talking about how my grandma’s birthday was only three days away. But, soon my grandma came into the room like a flash, we knew she had good news because she was smiling from ear to ear. She told us that…

When I told people what I was studying, they always had the same question: "What are you doing here?" My shadowing and prior experience with medicine during college convinced me that the most important skill physicians could have was the ability to relate to their patients with compassion and empathy. In pursuit of the ability to connect with people,…

put together and not have a single relation in it's name but is related to what it's related to. My five topics that really don't have anything to go together are actually related to each other, like how Disney is connected to the Hollywood walk of fame, how the Hollywood Walk of Fame relates to Australia and how Australia relates to Love at first sight, and finally love at first sight related to Thomas Rhett. These five topics are all related to entertainment, because all, five of them are…

relationship may vary greatly. Generally we expect a cause-and-effect relationship: one event has the effect of causing another event, which causes another, and so on.

films that were created during the time Hollywood was having set backs and during the time that they created new ideas that eventually took them out of the struggle. This was considered Hollywood's fall and rise They are both similar in a way due to the way the movie films were shot. Both of these films were created to allow us to see what the character was feeling and points of view. They both shared new aspects that made them stand out as a part of a New hollywood. This new phenomenon was the…

opening and closing, the way it develops its characters, the omniscience of the narrator, and causal linearity combined with the continuity editing system define this film as an example of classical Hollywood cinema.
