2012 was a year filled with excitement and creativity when it came to film making. The notable cop-based drama TV series “21 Jump Street” took a turn to the big screen, and along came all its previous fans to support it. Admirers of the movies were adrenalized with the comedic remake and demanded a sequel, which the creators we’re not hesitant in making “22 Jump Street”. 21 Jump Street” being the action-filled comedy movie it is, was bound to be a success, while “22 Jump Street” dominated the…

Lighting is a technique that director Tim Burton uses to create the perfect mood for a particular scene in many of his well known movies. An example is when low-key lighting is used to fill the screen with darkness. Just barely any light left in the movie, which can give the sense danger and fear throughout the scene of the movie. In contrast high-key lighting is used to do the opposite of low-key lighting. It’s used to fill the screen with brightness, which can give the scene a sense of…

For my film review I watched “Mad Max: Fury Road”. “Mad Max: Fury Road” was directed by George Miller and written by George Miller, Brendan McCarthy, and Nick Lathouris. This movie cost around $150,000,000 and it is understandable why. This movie was produced in 2015 and it was nominated for many awards. The most impressive of these nominations was Best Motion Picture of the Year. Although it did not win, a nomination for this award is a great accomplishment. However, it did win other awards…

Film was introduced to many movements. I chose to write about The French New Wave which is also known as “La Nouvelle Vague”. The French New Wave happened during 1958 to 1964. The French New Wave was started by a group of French film makers who wanted to create their movement in film and they did that by changing how a film could be made. The French New Wave turned out to be the biggest movement of them all and also made an impact on all filmmakers. Some of the main directors who created the new…

The film industry has endured many changes throughout time. 2 significant changes that would go on and alter the business direction from being on a rise to taking a steep fall were the Hollywood Blacklist and the United States v. Paramount Pictures case; which greatly impacted the revenue earned by studios and the employment of many film professionals. To understand the Hollywood black list, what was happening in American history must be understood first. With the fall of Nazism and…

I know its just the second weekend for new movies in 2018, but my guess is that we may be hard pressed to find a film more charming and endearing this year than Paddington 2. Days after seeing the film, I am still smiling, chuckling a bit even, and hoping the movie makes all the money it can. The original Paddington grossed nearly $270 million worldwide and earned two BAFTA nominations for Best British Film and Adapted Screenplay and a mutual consensus formed between critic, audience, and…

The Paradox of Security The notion and terminology of security permeates our daily existence. One encounters it on a daily basis, qualifying almost every aspect of politics, international relations, human society, and personal experience. Indeed, society has arrived at a state, both locally and globally, where security needs to be addressed both habitually and emphatically. However, this “age of security” has become tantamount to saying “age of anxiety,” as the need to feel secure demands…

Safety and security is a big time subject in the Probation Department. It is a way to make sure that all Probation Officers are safe and alive and well. One thing I have found out is that we need to be sure that we are both safe and secure in every situation. Today I Recruit McKnight was given a paper from Instructor Limbrick on safety and security because I failed to follow protocol due to lack of judgement and made a mistake by reporting without a partner. It was irresponsible of me to report…

For instance student teacher relationships in North America are not the same as other countries. Hong Kong students for instance have a high regard for their teachers. In Hong Kong students never call their teacher by their first name, because it's not respectful to the teacher. Also, they hesitate to ask or to answer questions in class because they don't want to lose their face in showing their ignorance in front of the class, and sometimes because their English is not good enough to form a…
