Vertigo is a sensation of whirling and loss of balance, associated particularly with looking down from a great height. This feeling translates to the 1958 movie directed by Alfred Hitchcock titled Vertigo, which is based on the novel “D’entre Les Morts” by Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac. The film is a romantic story of obsession, manipulation, and fear. In the film, a detective is forced to retire after his acrophobia, fear of heights, and accompanying vertigo causes the death of a fellow…
It began in 1972 when WGBH produced one of the nation’s best loved children’s television shows called ZOOM. The aim was children between the ages of 7 and 12 and its claim to fame was that it was a show created by children for children. Viewers could send in ideas for shows and local children served as the cast. WGBH went on to produce many other children’s…
In this scene the lighting in the house is dim to show the audience the time and how everybody but Coraline, and the mouse she is chasing, are asleep and possibly how mundane (hence the washed out colours throughout the setting) this new house is to her. The lighting in the entrance to the ‘other world’ is brighter and there are far more vivid colours. It’s not as dull or monotonous as the lighting in the real world, again emphasising how uninteresting the ‘real world’ is to her. When Coraline…

photographs. So during filming we decided to get pan, focus and zoom GVs. This way we added movement to our GVs which would look more appealing to the audience, and allowed us to show the details of the stained glass. Whilst taking the pan and zoom GVs we made sure that we started and finished on a still shot so that during editing the sequences did not jump and flowed smoothly. However, we did know that not all the GVs we took could be pans and zooms, so we did have many still GVs within the…

Persuasions of a Republican In the political landscape, it is often emotional decisions that sway voters to one side or another. Whereas a voter is less inclined to change their fundamental values based on an appeal to logic, a savvy politician can use emotional appeals to persuade the public to change their minds, and indeed, to change their vote. The “Confessions of a Republican” ad used a perfect combination of emotion, persuasion, and style to present a cogent argument that helped persuade…
my training materials, and engage in teacher pre-training if necessary. Typically, I would construct a presentation that could be screen cast to remote users via (Zoom, or WebEx) that also allowed for direct participant collaboration, questions, and interaction. If the function was not embedded with the presentation software, i.e. Zoom, I would run a compliment channel via Slack for user interaction. Inherent within this third phase, I would take my participant data and conduct the…
There were many ideas for stories that popped into my head, which I felt needed to be addressed. Personal experiences became utmost important for me to share to help bring awareness to a cause and also allow people to have a voice. I wanted to tell a story not to make people sad, but to show how one moment can change a family’s life forever. I want to show how one day you can be living an ordinary life, and the next day that same life is turned upside down in an instant. I also wanted to…
setting for majority of photographers. However, when you’re shooting for portraits, a wide-angle setting is not flattering to your subject. Zoom in to the telephoto end of your lens to avoid creating an exaggerated photo of your subject. Your perspective will become flatter, generating a much more attractive portrait. Also, always be sure to turn off the digital zoom, or else you’ll risk image quality. 5. Relying Solely on Post Processing Post processing software is great! It can really help…
