Neon

Spring Breakers (2012, dir. Harmony Korine) could be described as an actuality film, or a film that has no real purpose. Through his use of editing, lighting, and sound, Harmony Korine is able to create affects in the viewers. Some argue that this film is a feminist work, but after analyzing the film, I must disagree. Media changes how we perceive things and can be used to expand our perception. Film directs where our attention should be, and allows us to live what is happening on the screen.…

innovations that are known to be eco-friendly to our environment however; there can be drawbacks from these household objects or other items containing energy. Fluorescent lighting is a type of electrical lamp that only works through the use of mercury and neon gas, which produces a chemical…

I was enjoying the early sunrise and misty New Orleans weather when I was introduced to a form of torture. The torture did not include electric chairs or ropes, but rather tightly laced running shoes and bursting calf muscles. The one thing that drove me to this torture was the only thing that could drive me to do anything I am uncomfortable with, which is my desire to be a good student. When I first found out as a naïve eighth grader that I had to run in a certain time to make an A, I was…

As the lady carefully walked around the gaping holes in the side walk, the neon lights from the bar bounced off the dirt road and illuminated the chipped white paint on its entrance. A sign flashed several colors in succession, spelling out the words, “Honky Tonk’s Bar and Grill.” A sign below that read “ Come on In! We’ve got…

The Lazy Bear On a day like the others, I went outside to look for some food at the store. On my way back home, I found a magical door in the middle of the street, but this door wasn 't an ordinary door, it was neon green and had lights above. I had nothing to do. Therefore, I decided to inspect what was going on with the door. The moment I opened it, the door started to drag me into it. After a while, I opened my eyes and I was in a magical place where nothing seemed to be familiar. The walls…

I have never been an adventurous outgoing person, let alone a person who goes to large events, therefore this assignment didn’t prove to be too hard in finding events to go to but making myself actually attend said events was what proved to be the actual problem. I ended up going to two events that have to do with clothing I went to the: Moving Talent Forward Fashion show and the MSU Just a Costume Open Dialogue discussion. I found that both were eye opening experience and in some ways similarly…

everyone else thought. Jenner captioned the pictured on Instagram with the caption “What I wish I looked like all the time thank you @marcelocantuphoto @joycebonelli” (Ishler). Jenner on the other claimed this picture was from the black lights and neon lights being mixed together at a photo shoot which as you can see is false from the looks of the picture she appears to wearing makeup. This is seen when you look at the way the lights hit her face she has on a very dark makeup which is obvious.…

Imagery: During Chew On This, Schlosser incorporates many images of the ugly side effects of fast food. Not only does he focus on the health issues associated with eating it, but also the social and environmental impacts it has. For instance, “The neon lights along the strip, the rush hour traffic, the acres of pavement, the boxy soulless buildings...” (71). By displaying these constant reminders, the author is enhancing the visualization of a destroyed environment. One that is suffering and is…

I’m a terrible aim, but all he said was, “just have fun with it”, which I did. While in the arena, there was fog, loud sirens blaring and the sound of people getting stunned with the laser guns. It was pitch black, except for the flashing lights and neon paint splattered on various walls throughout the arena. I got hit a few times, but overall finished 4th out of 18…
