I will do that by looking at the lighting and the importance of reflective surfaces and what they represent. I will therefore analyze a specific sequence in the movie, and discuss the fundamental aspects to show how it…

3. What would you say is your greatest talent or skill? How have you developed and demonstrated that talent over time? I used to be a potato. No—not the garden variety.

Additionally, the camp had schedules to follow. Breakfast started at 8 am and ended at 9:30 am,…
