...Erin Brockovich movie clip I have chosen to choose the film Erin Brockovich and the scene where Erin gets rehired. In this scene her ex-boss, Ed, comes to her door to ask about the information that has come to him. Erin tells him that if he rehires her then she will tell him. He then rehires her and they talk about what has been happening with some of the people that are living where they have been affected by the hexavalent chromium.

The Director has a very important role. "The director is the one that is responsible for the whole film. The director is the one that interprets the script into their own vision and then decides the final look of the whole film with the production designer and cinematographer. The director will also be the one that is directing the actors as well as the action while it is being shot (Goodykoontz, 2011, Ch. 7)." "The directors are not only the ones that...

Step 4: You should see the transition appear as a little gray area between the two clips in your Timeline. Step 5: You should see a GREEN line appear just above the transition on the Timeline, which means the transition has been applied and you can view it now. (If there's a RED line above the transition instead of a green line, that means you'll need to render the transition before you can play and view it.) (You also can make changes in your transition by double clicking on the transition in the Timeline.) *You can change the duration of the cross fade.* Step 6: To do that, you should double click on the transition. In the box that appears in the Viewer area at the top of your screen, just type a new number into the time box, which usually is set at a 1 second duration by default. (You can set a transition either in number of seconds or...

...to make presentations in a number of different types of environments or settings, be it office-administration, technical seminars, conferences, lecturing students, or business meetings. There are a number of enhanced features available in Microsoft PowerPoint besides the facility of custom-made and open templates. Clip art is an advanced feature which helps the user put pictures into the slide presentation. Some pictures are provided with the MS program, and the user has the complete freedom to upload private digital photographs on to the computer, browse to a particular photograph, and then insert it into the slide. This facility is especially helpful in academic and business presentations, where the presenter needs to show some pictures of apparatus, or charts and graphs to the audience. A media clip is especially useful when the presenter wants to show an animated graphic, a little movie, or simply a sound clip. The clip can be inserted into the slide once the video has been uploaded in the computer. The clip can be arranged to play itself automatically, or when the presenter decided to click on it once when he/she is on the concerned slide. This media clip feature is especially handy for professors presenting a piece of video to the student, or someone who is presenting some videos of his or her travels to an audience. Transition effect might be useful to presenters who want to make their slides a bit colorful and out of the ordinary. Features, such as text, photos etc...

...Multimedia Databases With technology rapidly changing, it is appropriate to research the topic of multimedia databases and how they affect people as users of this important technology. Whether people know it or not, they use multimedia databases on a regular basis. These databases include everything from data that consists of pictorial images to audio and video files. The main sticking point with multimedia databases is its ability to create a friendly user experience. One good example of a huge multimedia database would be the content provided by Apple Computer Inc.’s iTunes. iTunes is the world’s number one entertainment application that allows you to store your own music, video, images, applications, etc. The iTunes store is where one can clearly see the presence of a phenomenal multimedia database that allows users to also buy and download music, video, images, and applications. Users can then play this content either on their computers, iPods, iPhones, televisions, and other devices as they choose. What makes iTunes so special is its ability to store these different media formats in one easy-to-use store. This term paper will focus on the characteristics and content of multimedia databases and how they have made and can make life for the user of a system so much easier. This paper will also look at the difference between static media and dynamic media in regards to how information from a multimedia database management system (MM-DBMS) is retrieved. Finally...

...The financial cost to produce and integrate this technology into human life can also be hefty. Another issue would be the social implications in integrating this into a human society since some people may reject the idea. Religious and conservative groups could protest its acceptance and existence among humans; however, it is likely that most people will be open to the implementation and will risk the social issues it may bring up. International friction and fear in undeveloped nations could also be created by the assimilation of this technology into a single first-world country. Rising tensions could lead to several other political issues from the uses of the MDS robot in military factions. Video Format: We’ll be using the video clips, pictures, narrative, and explorative...

...may not be a better ending to a movie that has been released in the last ten years. The ending of Taking of Pelham 123 includes a face-off between good and bad, with guns drawn, and both men up against a wall, creating a dramatic and suspenseful ending to a fantastic movie. As if the film did not have enough action in it, the last scene alone can provide enough white knuckles in the audience to fulfill any demands from the public audience. However, before anyone thinks that this sort of ending just “happens” without a lot of thought and attention to detail, think again. The director, Tony Scott, created the perfect concoction in the last scene to produce something that was unforgettable and that left the audience with a good taste in their mouth as they finished the movie. Through years of directing, this may come more easily to Scott, but the untrained eye would have no idea where to start if they were to put together this last scene. Many factors are working together here that need to be broken down to experience the full effects of what is going on. The multiple forms of rhetoric, with addition to other factors such as camera angles, target audience, and word choice, built a scene that can be analyzed from the inside out. The use of rhetoric here is different than how it may be used in a commercial. Instead of persuading someone to purchase a product, the main character Ryder (John Travolta) is persuading the other star of the movie Garber (Denzel Washington) to take...

...CJ E&M Wanqi Shen I believe it is not an easy job if CJ E&M wants to do further business in the US. The US market is a great place to start a business, but it is not the best place for K-Pop. As the author said, CJ E&M would like to export the Korean culture in a whole, they called it as a “lifestyle” which contains “K-Drama”, “K-Movie”, “K-Food”, etc. “K-Pop” is only a part of the business chain, and I believe if CJ E&M decides to start a music business, they have to cooperate with other Korean music groups like SM, YG, or JYP which means CJ has to share the revenue with other companies. Someone may say, like the author said, CJ owns PSY, who is the most popular Korean artist to make a splash in the U.S. However, I don’t think PSY is a music content creator, and after “Gangnam Style”, he gets lesser attention due to his cliché musical works. When People watched the “Gangnam Style”, they seen it as a phenomenon, a funny video clip, but not a musical work. And as far as I know, most audiences know and watch his video only on YouTube or other video platforms. “Most K-pop consumption in the U.S. was on YouTube”. And the main audience group is teenagers, like the fans of other K-Pop groups. However, the “Gangnam Style” gives us a hint, for the US consumers, they need some “culture phenomenon”. Because the US consumers hold a different personal identity, culture background and aesthetic standard with the Asian consumers. I discussed some K-Pop groups with my US...

...to the Magyar farmer and his wife, his face flushed and his eyes tearful as he pecks them both on the cheeks. As he pulls away, he inhales the slight lingering mushroom odor in the woman’s hair. Once he hoists Ava into the wagon they leave, the old horse clip clops his way down a long dirt road that leads to their farm, with its shabby adobe house in the lowlands. A frosty, gray mist hangs in the Mezőség Valley. The snow has stopped falling and patches of it linger beneath a harvest moon, lighting the way down the lonely dirt road and rolling hills. It stings her nostrils and masks the hearty sweet smell of the wheat fields. Before them, lay hectares of farmland filled with golden wheat fields that cover the area like soft blankets, powdered by snow. Riding along gently sloping tracts of grains, the harvest undulates like a series of waves slapping the shore with the winds as they pass each farm, riding through an icy fog that twists around the mountains. The wind blows its brittle breath over the lowlands and past sheltered forests that cling to the base of the crags. The farm horse plods forward in a four-beat footfall pattern, like a lullaby. Right hind leg. Clip. Right foreleg. Clop. Left hind leg. Clip. Left foreleg. Clop. Passing a group of oblong, thatched, adobe houses with hand-hewn wooden porches. Houses of the Gypsy families, who now hate them. The last of the darkened myrtle forests, sweeps by, before they reach their farm. Ava stares at her...
