Let's Go Crazy

his music. Lighting in the film plays an important role in the creation of the space and in the meaning that is trying to be created. For example, when Prince’s character sings the Darling Nikki the lighting in that scene is red. Red is generally associated with passion and sensual desire. For this reason, red was used while he sang to further emphasize the seductive meaning of the song. Another example, is when Apollonia and Morris are walking to a car after the concert. Low key lighting is utilized here to create a feeling of eeriness. This is established when Prince’s character shows up on his bike and demands Apollonia gets on after she attempted to run away from him. This demonstrates Prince’s character’s unwillingness to let Apollonia go and his jealously. Low key lighting is also used when ‘the kid’ is in the basement contemplating suicide after his father shot himself in the head. This used to create an ominous and foreboding atmosphere which accentuates Prince’s character’s morose and sorrow at what his father had done. The meaning offered was that Prince considered ending it all right then and there to escape all of his troubles. The elements of cinematography are employed to direct the audience’s attention to establish a particular meaning about a specific scene. For example, when Price’s character sings The Beautiful Ones the camera begins to zoom in on Apollonia. This is done to show that the song is a confession of his feelings for Apollonia and so that the…

Prince had released, but it was the video that made me take notice of him. I later listened to his other earlier videos such as "1999" and "Little Red Corvette" which I very much enjoyed. After discovering Prince, he would indeed rank up there as a huge influence on my life. Following the "When Doves Cry" hit single, Prince quickly made his film debut of "Purple Rain". I remember in the summer of 1984, when it came out, that it was the hottest thing out there and everybody (well us…

by and, soon it was after 1 A.M. By this time, we called our ride and waited for her to get there. I went to bed thrilled at the possibility of Andy’s solo project. I forgot about the project after a few months and went back to my normal life. At the end of 2015 Andy released a date for his album, and the excitement came back. He announced tour dates, and I eagerly looked at when and where he’d be. Andy would be in Omaha and St. Paul in June. I pleaded to my mom to let me go, surprisingly…

special for all of us. We all were excited to go, and we did make reservation for the house and the car a month before the trip We had a rental car and heading to Tennessee. We had snakes in the road as usual, and we took the road after midnight. However, the trip almost took us eleven hours, and when we arrived around twelve at noon, we were so exhausted. The first thing we did is falling to sleep, we woke up at six p.m. then we started to cook…

With no partner to meet, I pretended to be entirely occupied by reviewing the list of exercises my trainer emailed me; although I pretty much already knew where to go and what to do. With the gym full of people on their lunch breaks, I headed over to the lat seated row machine and began to warm up. After my first set, I noticed an older man out of the corner of my eye trying to tell me something. I removed one earbud to listen to what he was attempting to tell me. “Try this handle instead” he…

Web Design Web site design is a vast and complex topic. Explaining the tools and techniques of web design would be a very laborious process for the author and the reader, and a novice would surely loose interest quickly. Understanding this, focus will be put on the comprehensive methodology of successful Web design. First off, it is important to fully understand what the World Wide Web is before dissecting the field of Web design. The World Wide Web may go down as the single greatest human…

they need in a learning setting because, unlike Asian countries, who encourage interdependence amongst close groups of friends, Americans practice independence and are open to each other, as well as professors in classroom settings (Baba and Hosoda). International study abroad programs were brought to the campus to allow students to broaden their understanding on what it means to be human by observing the differences in each other’s culture and views on life. Students change their beliefs of…

rules, or if the students are mature enough, I would allow them to work as a group to create a set of classroom rules that will be followed during the school year. Classroom rules are a set of standards that need to be adhered to by every student in every classroom situation (“Creating and Implementing,” n.d., p. 16). According to Slavin (2015, p. 279), “one of the first management-related tasks at the start of the year is setting class rules”. On the first day of school in a first grade…

Pajama's are comfortable and should be able to be worn. It's not a distraction, they are just clothes. A lot of people get distracted easily and the school is just blaming it on what people wear. Also, girls can wear shirts that go down to the middle of their chests and not have anything said to them about it. When a girl has a little bit of their stomach exposed they are sent home to change or just yelled at. I know because this happened to me. That's just not right at all. The things that…
