Silhouette

We start the chapter with Laurie being Teleported by Jon to Laurie’s mom to catch up while Jon, Veidt, and Dan attend Edward Blake’s funeral in New York. Outside the cemetery gates, we see the redheaded doomsayer again. His constant appearance makes me believe that he has some significance to the story later. Meanwhile, Laurie and her mother get in an argument for her forgiving the Comedian’s attempted rape forty years back. Sally (her mother) begins think of the past and with the flash of a…

The contribution of the live orchestra to the silent film “The Mark of Zorro” directed by Fred Niblo made the film more thrilling. The bold music brought on a new approach to the humorous silent film. After viewing it, I now believe that all silent films should be viewed accompanying a performing orchestra or band of some sort. I loved how it offered an alternate source of not only entertainment, but information synchronized with moving images. Without the exhilarating background music,…

My initial reaction to the image with the caution sign was confusion, I've never a sign like that before. It also made me wonder why such a sign even exists. The silhouette figures in the image look distraught, they are running away as fast as they can, as if they were being chased. The way the mom is holding the little girl's arm as if trying to get her to run faster, and the girl trying, but failing to catch up with her mother. The caution sign is meant to warn people about families or…

During 1800-1820, women in Europe always carry a small handbag called reticule, with a drawstring at the top. Originally, reticules served as the function of pockets as the silhouettes of women’s gown was getting narrower. Thus, I think women from every class could use the reticules for carrying their belongings. Reticules could be made from all kinds of fabrics. However, upper-class and wealthier women always carried the reticules made from silk or velvet decorated by embroidery and beading…

In Stereotyping: The Politics of Representation, Pickering suggest that individuals stereotype “as a way of imposing a sense of order on the social world in the same way as categories, but with the crucial difference that stereotyping attempts to deny any flexible thinking with categories” (3). By individuals stereotyping groups, they reinforce the structure of power, readjust social standing when feeling threatened, and gain a sense of comfort as they are making themselves appear superior. The…

Technology is the greatest creation that mankind has ever known. As a nation of developing humans, mankind has invented technology to facilitate life itself. The history of it has quickly improved and expanded since the Iron days. Today in modern society, robots do not perform all tasks of a human being, however they do aid in ways that humans cannot. Rewinding to the era of World War I, Ray Bradbury introduces the idea of a possible human extinction due to advanced technology. In 1950, he wrote…

The portrait was captured through the use of the sun as a natural lighting source while the shoot was taken with the subject close to the camera lens. Moreover, I searched for reflections and silhouettes to ensure an enhanced image was produced while ensuring that cast shadows are less visible in the shoot. Consequently, the shoot was taken with subtle angels that were not eye level thus ensuring proper image perspective was achieved while off-camera…

liberate women, granting them unprecedented freedom of movement. “6 He not only became internationally renowned for his vibrant prints but also the silhouettes of his garments, ‘His collections encompassed more than just stylish but jaunty daywear. In 1961 he showed simple evening dresses with deep V-shape panels set into their sophisticated bias-cut silhouette.’7 He designed garments which followed the natural curves of the female body, making him known for creating sensual and elegant…

therefore imply that someone or something will appear to fill in that area. Hitchcock then progresses into a zoom shot which confirms that the theory the viewers would think of is true, as someone does come in. In the beginning of the shot we see a silhouette of the mother who enters and the scene turns upside-down and turns to terror. We see that Marions personal space is invaded by this figure who then tears the curtains open and we hear screams of terror and there is a close up of Marions…

The song refers to self destructiveness and troubled youths. Someone is possibly dead or deserted, the shadow symbolising how the person’s presence is still there but untouchable, a silhouette…
