The author wrote this biography of Long as a young man getting his first start in politics, his campaign for governor, also his impeachment. In the book Messiah of the Masses: Huey P. Long and the Great Depression, the life of Huey Pierce Long is fully narrated and studied. In…

has a remarkable year, or a remarkable night or even an amazing hit, most people will wonder if they had that remarkable milestone because they are taking steroids or performance enhancing drugs. If David Ortiz hits 100 home runs next year as compared to his 37 home runs in 2015, I’d like to think that it’s because he practiced harder and…

conveys through the soft lighting and the increasing volume and tempo of the diegetic sound.

the best in the league. We would toss our elaborate jargon at each other seeing who could outwit whom, saying things like, "Andre Ethier has the highest OPS in the NL!" or "Mike Trout has put up WAR numbers that we've never seen before!" This year long dispute of baseball knowledge could only end one way, the official Punahou Fantasy Baseball League 2012. The league would be the start of a multitude of friendships and lessons, one of which would stick with me to this day. I couldn't afford to…

My mise-en scene of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is an analogy adaptation based on the events of Chapter 54. The setting occurs on a street of New York apartments on a cloudy, gloomy day.

The scene is symbolic for Elizabeth’s conflicting feelings for Mr. Darcy. Through the use of diegetic sounds, the scene will give the…

He had a close connection to the agricultural community since he grew up on a farm as a child, and then rose to high status later in life. He originally used his power…

James Howard Kunstler’s The Long Emergency is the stuff of suburban nightmare. As someone who has lived her entire life in the comforts and trappings of suburbia, the events that have been laid out in this text have raised several levels of alarm inside myself. Many suburbanites schlep their reusable bags into their hybrid or flex-fuel vehicles and regularly run their several mile journey to the grocery store multiple times a week. In the absence of fossil fuels, not only would this trip for…

The Dark Night trilogy set the gold standard for the characters Batman, and the Joker. Every casual movie goer or critic would tell you that the most recent portrayal of each of these characters isn’t as good as the Dark Night Trilogy characters. With the flop of Man of Steel, and Batman vs. Super Man, Warner Brothers, the company making DC films, wanted to take a lot of control away from directors, and unfortunately the first movie to take such directions was 2016’s “Suicide Squad” by David…

I feel that I order to capture and grasp the idea that the two men are challenging gravity while figthing most of the shot (1:58 – 2:12) have to be long in order to emphasis how the background and charcters are spinning and the effects are, for example from 1:12 to 1;14 you can see the long shot of the two men fighting but the thing that seems to be quite insignificant is the gun that dropped also react to the shift in gravity and sticks to the ceiling, the attention…
