The Cameraman

Role models can be viewed in many different aspects, its just dependent upon the individual. A role model can be literally anyone or anything. Some people may look at their favorite sports athlete or the president of the United States as an example. Other individuals may even say people like a deranged serial killer like Charles Manson or evil fictional characters like The Joker or The Green Goblin are their models of aspiration. Like these people, I also have two entities that I look up to…

Having recently graduated from high school and attended many graduation parties before I came to college, I became very familiar with people always saying, “they grow up so fast, or I wish I was a kid again”. As a kid life is pretty great. You don’t have any responsibilities; people are always looking out for you, making sure you don’t hurt yourself. You are driven everywhere, everything is paid for, and you are almost always monitored. In the film the Truman Show by Peter Weir, the main…

As I was rummaging through my old stuff, I came across an old photo of a toddler. Standing at approximately 1 and a half feet tall, a 2 year old African American female stood next to another baby’s car seat and “cradled” her. If one was to look at the picture, it can be assumed that the infant was crying. The two-foot two year old toddler that comforted the crying infant was a girl named Mausi Blessing Hodonu, this girl is me. The 2 year old version of me shows a part of my personality that I…

The field of animation has been one of the most interesting and creative forms of film and its history goes almost all the way back to the beginning of movies. The first example is a short two-minute film called The Enchanted Drawing from the year 1900. It was not entirely animated as it included live action footage, but it was the first movie with animated sequences as far as I am aware. It consists of a man (in live-action) drawing a picture of a man's face on an easel, as well as other…

In Documentaries, Directors often use modes of persuasion to convince the viewer of an idea. In the Salesman, the director uses the mode of Pathos to have the viewer experience emotions that wouldn’t typically be associated with a traveling salesman. Certain film techniques like the use of close up shots help create this emotional appeal. Without emotions, this film would be a boring film about traveling salesman. I think the empathy evoked by the director is critical in staying true to the…

When I was a young child, I always used to copy everything I saw. Every time I had watched a movie, I would act like the main character. If the main character was a superhero, then I would run around the house acting like them. Then as I got older I always I started thinking about careers for my future. First I wanted to be in the FBI, then I wanted to be an Engineer. Basically, I wanted to be everything that I could possibly be. Then I found film, in film I can create whatever I want. I get to…

that the country has different standards when it comes to dating than the United States does, however, is that really an excuse to call the police on your own child? “She has embarrassed herself, and she has embarrassed me,” said her father to the cameraman (Love Crimes of Kabul). He couldn’t stand to be in her presence, and the police took her away to a prison where the guards refer to the jailed women as scum. One security guard said, “if they were good women, they wouldn’t be here.” (Love…
