Everyone had there pink shirt on and supported. When the warm- up time was almost over I started to get more and more nervous, I was shaking. When the warm-up was over, we all huddled in and started to get ready to meet the starting line- ups for both teams. I was starting for Senior. When the announcers announced my name I ran out and shook the over girls hand, I was shaking the whole time. After they announced the starting line-ups, we walked out to the middle of the floor to sing the National…
Welles used sound to establish and further enhance the viewer’s attention to the meanings of what is portrayed on screen. Another impressive use of sound in Citizen Kane is the sequence after the end of the newsreel announcing the death of Kane. We are exposed to a room, dimly lit and shallow (unlike the deep and wide banquet room), full of men. The camera focuses on Mr. Rawlston, who, while he speaks, performs a myriad of motions towards and against the camera – all of which are enhanced…
they do not get along. This is shown early on, including a scene in which they are on a bus , Julius is seen telling his friends to "stop your singing", when Gerry agrees with this statement Julius fires back at him in a two shot with " you can shut up too."…
Zero, zero is the number of push-ups I could do at the beginning of the year. It was really pathetic and I was really embarrassed that I couldn’t even do one. I went home and looked at what the average push-ups a 13 year old boy should be able to do, it was 13, a lot more than I could do obviously. Now I can do 13 without collapsing. That is why I feel I grew in upper body muscular endurance this year in Wellness & Fitness. Something that showed my growth was the 30 Day Challenge. We did the 30…
This day started out like any other Saturday. I woke up to my dad shaking me, telling me that he let me sleep in as long as possible but we needed to get on the road. I looked at the alarm clock and in big, red letters it read “6:30”. Nonchalantly, I slid out of bed and began my Saturday morning routine. As I ate breakfast, I talked to my dad about strategy, opponents, and if I was confident going into the day. I admitted I was a little nervous, but my dad assured me that it was going to be a…
the ground screaming at the top of my lungs. My teammates, Gretchen and Chloe, surrounded me calmly saying, “stay still”, and, “it’s going to be okay.” I remember seeing black and white spots in my vision, then feeling a pair of strong hands pick me up and place me in the back of a vehicle. My mother was not present at my game so everything that was going through my mind was that I had no one there for me. The athletic trainer and my coach recommended I go to the hospital right away, but I…
How do the plays of Shakespeare change when they are adapted for screen? Michael Almereyda’s adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Hamlet transposes one of Shakespeare’s most notable tragedy in modern day Manhattan, setting the framework for a modern retelling of the story. The use of “ complex array of media technologies, genres and practices” introduces the over arching theme of entrapment and imprisonment in the capitalist society thatHamlet resides in, immersing the narrative in a world of…
I wasn’t happy with that suggestion since I really wanted to go on the blow up slide, but I had not wish to be rude, so I reluctantly replied with “ok.” As we went around the festival all I could think about the blow up slide, sure the other rides were fun, but I was convinced that the slide will be so much better. The closer and closer we got to the slide, the harder and harder it became to hold…
