"Critical failure in cryogenic array. All vault residents must vacate immediately," the Vault-Tech computer announces. "What? Fuck," Athena cusses under her shaky breath. She punches the glass rather weakly. Suddenly, the door begins to open. Athena attempts to carefully step out of the cryogenic pod but she loses…

a dark blue background surrounding the film studio’s logo before the film’s first act officially begins. The momentary silence created by the ended overture does not last for long. The beginning of the film’s first act is marked by an operatic title sequence that is quickly followed by the screeching of the man-apes that dominates this part of the film. It is this lack of dialogue that allows the audience to focus in on how truly stagnate the man-apes are. That is until they find the first…

Meaning is conveyed in a myriad of diverse ways through the use of various theatrical techniques. The form and manner in which meaning is presented can have a profound impact on its interpretation by the audience. In the film Purple Rain, meaning is introduced through the usage of the elements of editing, cinematography, and mise-en-scene. The meaning for particular scenes are revealed by the many different aspects that make up the mise-en-scene of the film. For example, throughout the film…

Some films give away their ending based on the very genre they fall into; the couple puts aside their differences for love in the romantic comedy and the hero wins at the end of an action movie. There are those that play upon these tropes to purposefully subvert the reader’s expectations of course, but the more interesting cases lie in those films that aren’t attempting to subvert the genre, yet somehow manage to subtly and unintentionally undermine themselves through conflicting messages over…

From analyzing his films in my video essay, experimenting with some shots iconic to Tarantino, looking into his titles and title sequences, researching his film soundtracks and most of all, how Tarantino uses violence. From this research I am most pleased with my video essay because it helped me understand my research even more as I had to look into what my research…

Did you know that the final scene in blowing up the hospital sequence was partially improvised by him? And this epic one with clapping hands in the cell was also his own spontaneous…

Over the past two centuries the West has led the world in means of techno-logical innovation, trade, and economics. Contrarily to what many think, the West didn’t predominate at the time prior the industrialization. As a matter of fact, up until the 19th century, Asia detained great economic and political power in the international scenario. Then why did the West grow rich while the Asian continent stayed behind? Why did the industrial revo-lution occur in Britain rather than in China, and…
