Thums Up

confusion. “Where am I?” I thought. Suddenly, my brain processed my surroundings, and my eyes focused on the view ahead of me. As soon as my head was in the right mind, I saw Fantasia in front of me, Hilary besides me, the huge fish net looking net set up high held, with two poles, in front of me, and my coaches along with the other teammates were waiting on the sidelines. “You can do it!” someone hollered instantaneously from the benches. Once I heard the scream, I turned my head quickly to…

run an event similar to the one I volunteered for; I was amazed to see how many people were wearing volunteer shirts around the event. Planning was required in the setup of the race, who would speak at the opening ceremonies, where sponsors could set up their tents, what volunteers would work where, the scheduling of the event, different activities the participants could complete, prizes, and various other aspects. Something else that I learned from my experience is that advertisement is an…

done in relationships. These theories could talk about couples coming together, their expectations of each other, or maybe about couples breaking up. The movie The Break-Up shows one kind of how relationships could go. The interpersonal relationship between Gary Grobowski (Vince Vaughn) and Brooke Meyers (Jennifer Aniston) was mostly showing breaking up stages. Many interpersonal…

The audience gets a sense that the film was filmed in one go creating a logical coherence between shots. During the initial fight scene, dissolve and wipes were used to speed up the action, which is another way of involving viewers and getting their attention to anticipate what is going to happen next. It seems as if they planned and directed shots in such a way that they can be cut together smoothly and coherently. You could…

Hitchcock utilised the theme of voyeurism in many of his works e.g. Rear Window, Psycho, Vertigo, and North by Northwest, in his endless pursuit to engage the audience. The use of the gaze invites the viewer into the character’s world and become a part of the scene via relatability. Whilst watching a Hitchcock movie, we almost feel responsible when we see an act of violence being imposed on a character in an act of passion boiling over, as if the blade were in our own hand. There is an element…

and also because of the fact that when I was a little girl in preschool, I remember being made to literally wash my mouth out with soap by a European teacher, for telling a European girl to shut up. The European girl had actually told me to shut up first, and I responded back to her by telling her to shut up. My teacher only heard me though supposedly, and I was the one who was reprimanded. I’ve always felt that no one would care for my children like me. I didn’t want to place my children in…

innovations such as variation of shots such as the close-up shot, the long shot and the tracking shot and the variations in the pace of the film. While Porter concentrated on making the narrative in his films better through continuity, Griffith learned how to manipulate shots in order to have a bigger dramatic impact. His techniques included scene fragmentation which involves cutting from long shots to full body shots and then maybe to a close up and moving the camera closer to the action so…

He could act a little, did it in High School. That was how he met his wife. And it made lying that much easier. “Shut up and don't talk.” The voice was not feminine. It was masculine in every sense of the word. Rough and deep with a biting edge that made him flinch. “You have less than 5 minutes to confess what you did. I have a high caliber rifle with its crosshairs…

atlantis in the Bahamas! Then the unthinkable happened Travis Pastrana and Kevin Hart showed up in a big jacked up super duty Dodge with a trailer full of dirtbikes, and at that moment I knew it was time to party. “ I said i’ll be right out with my stuff!” “Ok make it quick, I mean real quick im antsy to get a move on it’s a long drive said Travis.” “What is taking him so long?” “I don’t know hurry up.” “Just a few more minutes!” “Ok Done.” I then got in the back seat and saw that Travis…
