Filmmakers use a variety of techniques to make their films captivating to the viewers. Movie scene transition techniques include the dissolve, the wipe, the jump cut, and the fade. Camera shot and angle techniques used by filmmakers are low, high, and level camera angles, pan, p.o.v, close up, and long shot. All of those filmmaking techniques are utilized throughout the Lost Names’, “An Empire for Rubber Balls” storyboard and work together to create a special meaning for what the viewer sees…

to my car and said our goodbyes to the classmates who also came out to view the fireworks. I spent the night at Me’Cha’s house because her home was the nearest from Downtown Raleigh. While on our way home, we got the chance to view families still popping fireworks outside of their homes. We pulled into the rocky driveway of my best friend’s residence, and next, we headed to the bedroom where we stayed up all night having what it seemed to be like, endless conversations about boyfriends, our…

In the video, I think that NFL executives, players, and fans are placing a high value on the entertainment. I think that this is because sports came about as a form of entertainment - something to help pass time once civilizations started popping up. So, I think football, in its very nature, is a form of entertainment for Americans. I think high value is placed on football because it has been ingrained in America as a result of tradition for entertainment. They see Dr. Omalu’s findings as an…

was mainly because that paragraph introduced Montag and the setting in such a distinctive way that impacted the way I thought about the novel and characters. After reading more into part one, I became more and more interested with many questions popping up into my head. Where did Clarisse’s imaginative ideas come from? Why did Mildred try to kill herself? Clarisse was introduced very early on in the story, as well as her “odd” thoughts and actions. Some of these abnormal actions include: “‘I…

As soon as he finds the window, Tom accidentally closes the window. “The impossible remoteness of this utter safety, the contrast between it and where he now stood, was more that he could bear.” After popping out for what he thought would just be a minute and accidentally closing the window, he fantasizes about the utter safety of the apartment, so he tries striking the window, which nearly knocked him off the ledge, into what was similar to a kowtow,…

keeping this boat on track. Also the boat is more of a clean cut, with smooth lines. It conveys the smooth journey that the passengers enjoys, compared to the sea. The artist uses dark colors and the current of the sea is violent, with limbs randomly popping out of the sea. The reader can also see the desperation of one male who is trying to climb onto the boat, just to escape the constant torrent, his hands digging into the wood just hoping to just hang on and arrive on land. The shading of one…

Customers of Trader Joes are very loyal and keep coming back to shop. When customers were asked why they loved Trader Joe’s, some of the responses received referenced happy employees; games and samples, colorfully labeled products, and a large selection (Renfrow, 2016). This strength contributes to their success year after year. They not only listen to what the customer wants, they follow through and provide it. This gains respect and loyalty, which results in many repeat visits, as well as…

that was telling me to stop while I was ahead, go no further, do not tumble off of this trampoline. But being the stubborn teenager that I was, I decided to go ahead and try to “pull off” the stunt. As soon as my toes hit the mat, an ear-piercing popping sound fills the gym. I am lying down, staring at the rafters, sweating uncontrollably, unable to lift my body (the waist and up) into the air to see what had happened. I hear muffled voices saying, “Poor girl,” “I bet that hurt,” and “come one…

not granted with many of the privileges that I aquired. They had come from a home where their next meal was not automatically expected. A home filled with generational hurt that was impossible to look past. A home with sounds of prescription pills popping, unidentified gentleman knocking, and desperate eyes dropping. This was their reality, a reality much different from my life of entitlement. My cousin’s innocence was robbed of them, and the guilt that I began to feel was inescapable. A…

Have Cussing Become Too Common? Be Honest, you hear cussing everywhere, in school, TV, movies, music, and social media. Right? I think curse words have lost their shock value. They have become too common. Swearing has evolved in the last 100 years, is this a necessarily a good thing? I will explain the use of swearing throughout the centuries, see how it changed. In the 19th and 18th century swearing was considered unmannered & taboo, the article “Curse Words: Have they lost their shock value?”…
