Third Crusade

Have you ever thought of living in a world where as soon as you turn 12 years old, you either had to starve or kill people for someone else’s entertainment? Our lives would be pure horror. The hunger games book is informing us of exactly how we’d feel. The movie however, is purely intended to entertain with a story. It is clear that the book is informative mainly because it’s in first person and since it is in first person, it's overflowing with informative detail about Katnissś feelings. For…

David O. Selznick, the creator of Gone With the Wind (Victor Fleming, USA, 1939), and his British counterpart, Alexander Korda combined their strengths, producing the first British film-noir, which is so significant in the history of cinema. The Third Man (Carol Reed, UK, 1949) is a milestone in the development of film-noir. It was produced during one of the brilliant periods of British cinematography. For it’s groundwork, it had a good scriptwriter, Graham Greene being then at the peak of…

Freedom America has many advantages that make it the wonderful, free country known today. Though it may have its disadvantages, it overall is a great place to live and prosper. To make it a first world country, America offers many wonderful changes including education, rights, and religion. Education, as mentioned in the first paragraph, comes free. Children are pushed to get education up until they graduate high school. Then most will pursue their career and go to college to further their…

took digital video last year I had some experience but I can always learn more. I looked over some past movies and scripts that I made and wondered how I could make it better and expanded upon that by researching different filming techniques like the thirds rule, wide and narrow shots, etc.. I was also interested in the general idea of film in the jazz age, and decided to research more into that. Since filming and editing, while similar, are both very important in their own…

My mind takes me back to a moment of thrill and adventure. The experience began early in the morning. At the crack of dawn, our truck was packed and ready to go. Many hours on the road and a few stops along the way, we finally arrive at Magic Mountain. Magic Mountain was an exciting adventure because of the amusement rides, creepy characters, and the many gift shops. My favorite amusement ride is the Justice League Hall of Fame. This attraction has a 3d laser shooter. On this ride, you are…

Halloween is the only day of the year when wearing a scary costume, asking strangers for food, and scaring people is acceptable. Being a clown would be the best Halloween costume, even though it would be more tricks than treats. To the regular eye clowns seem cute and funny, but some see the real truth behind them. Clowns are sinister. A clown is one of the most scary things, making it the perfect Halloween costume. Clowns are real, unlike monsters or zombies. Clowns are at birthday parties,…

When Sedaris finally finds himself taking his Mother’s advice to check himself, the one thing that distracts him from this self-reflection is the television. For example, when he says “here is a boy sitting on a bed, his mouth smeared with chocolate. He's a human being, but also he's a pig, surrounded by trash and gorging himself so that others may be denied. Were this the only image in the world, you'd be forced to give it your full attention, but fortunately there were others. This stagecoach,…

This year alone, the United States will consume 220 billion gallons of fuel for transportation alone. This humble nation that I live in relies so heavily on fossil fuels to survive. Almost every product that we use in our lives today depends on it, especially the ones that matter the most like our cars and electricity. Without this seemingly abundance source of raw power, the society would not be able to function. I sympathize with everyone who has to use fossil fuels in their everyday lives.…

this is one of the main reasons children are not allowed to fight in war. some of the others are the facts that children are often smaller than a fully grown adult because they are not fully developed, yet in these third world countries we see children being used for exactly these reasons, because they are small and with the recent enhancements to small arms, they are able to carry around fully automatic rifles and use them to kill. In conclusion, personally, i don't…
