There’s a video of two teams passing basketballs to each other. One team wears white and the other black. Viewers are told to count how many passes the white team makes. They watch the whole video to see how they did only to find out something crazy. There was a gorilla that walked in the middle of the players! It was invisible to them! (Hence the title “The Invisible Gorilla”) This is the experiment mentioned in the book that Chris Chabris and Daniel Simons performed. This book is very…

there is so much space within the shot because Marion is on one third, which then means that the the other two thirds need to be filled which 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…

This phenomenon also being expressed in Cities and Cinema “Then a shot/reverse shot shows him standing on the balcony, relaxed and smoking as the camera zooms in, and when the camera returns to the street, the voice-over tells his story, the repeated shot/reverse shots having established his intimate relationship with Paris.”(Mennel) The coffee shop are also a bit crowded, but not as much as the book…

Stylistically, Truffaut’s films fault zoom shots, choppy editing, casual compositions, and bursts of quick humor or sudden violence (FH 410). The sensitive film The 400 (1959), is about a troubled boy who is misunderstood and thought by his parents to be a troublemaker. The famous ending for…

Bobo’s discussion of audience’s reactions to ‘Daughters of the Dust’ highlighted the significant difference to my own (Dash, 1991). I struggled with this film, it did not resonate and although I thought it was quite beautiful and because of that, mesmerising, I did not understand it.

Firstly, I attempted to take what I was seeing and place it within a context that I felt I…

His stuttering mostly occurs at the beginning of a word, but once he says his initial sounds, the rest of the sounds in the word he says is clearly pronounced. While he is stuttering, Eugene closes his eyes tight to concentrate on getting the initial sound out. He…

Personally, I intent on improving my writing skills to help ease the process of graduate school. My intention is to reach a level of writing where I can communicate my ideas more clearly. I know that writing (for example, a thesis paper) is a process, and that it involves more than one person (in the case of the thesis paper, a three-person thesis committee). This fact is apparent in books where authors acknowledge individuals who have contributed to their work. Often the author expresses her or…
