...The theme of the film can be summed up simply from one of the many notable phrases, “there’s no place like home”. Dorothy, a Kansas farm girl dreams of a better place and life. During a tornado she is struck in the head and there begins her journey to Oz. There she meets magical characters, many of which travel on with her also in search of better things. Who can forget the Munchkins, the first of the strange but charming characters Dorothy encounters?

...Karen Conner Professor Pridgeon English 252H Spring 1993 Semester Film Production: Final Project After the astounding success of my last film endeavor [final project for ENG 251H], Townies, my production company, Gateway Productions, has con¬tracted me for a new endeavor, this time for an adaptation of Joseph Conrad's novella Heart of Darkness. The company says that I may have full creative license in this one so, as Orson Welles did in his film Citizen Kane, I intend to oversee all aspects of the process. In selecting my staff, I have decided to keep some of the old faces from the previous film. My friend Julie Weaver will once more be at my side. As you recall, I chose her previously because she is not only a good art director but a talented illustrator as well. Her ability to do on-the-spot sketches of ideas saved me a great amount of time and money on the last project. I have also decided to keep Brightwood as cinematographer and Wise as sound director, again for the same reason for which I chose them last time, because they would make good contributions to the creative aspect of the process, and I felt that these two could best translate my ideas to film. Another old face will be Joyce Nevelson, my editor. I chose her last time because she was well-known in the industry and had won many rewards, proving her talent. Changes I have made will be in the writing, sound, and music departments. I have chosen Paul Gainritch to write my screen¬play. He is...

From a distance, it might look straight, but when you get close up, you can always see the line waver. And I think that’s where the beauty is.”—Margaret Kilgallen.

Beauty is mixture of qualities, such as shape, color, or form, which please the senses, especially the sight. Creating something painting magnificent to draw the viewer’s eye.

...attention that my best friend’s brother, Alton, had passed. Alexis and I have been friends since elementary school, so her family was my family. Immediately, I thought it was just a rumor. No one had any facts. “This can’t be true, “I thought. I walked into class expecting Alexis to be in her desk. I was certain that she would tell me that the rumor was not true. When I walked through the door, her desk was empty. My heart hastily dropped to my feet. As I slowly walked to my desk, my mind ran across a thousand things at once; my heart broke with every step. I finally reached my desk. I sat there silently. My heart felt heavy. I couldn’t talk. I couldn’t cry. My state of disbelief and shock was just that severe. All I could do was sit quietly. I asked to go to the restroom towards the end of class. I went and tried to call Alexis. The phone ringed several times, but I could not get an answer. On the way back to class I couldn’t help but wonder what happened. After siting and thinking for what seemed like forever, the class was finally dismissed by the lunch bell. As we stood in the lunch line, my heart got heavier. I did not eat. Again, I just sat silently. As I sat in the cafeteria, I noticed the mood was different. The cafeteria was usually a happy environment. It would be filled with laughter, chatter, smiles, and of course, food. In comparison, on that day, a gloomy feeling hung over the cafeteria. It was quiet. Someone came to me...

...In cinema, directors use many cinematic elements to create scenes and manipulate the audience’s perspective of them. Director Tim Burton is well known for taking his audience on journeys through his dark, eccentric, and quirky films. In the film Edward Scissorhands, director Tim Burton uses cinematic elements such as sound, and camera shots, to illustrate the tone of a scene, and change of tone throughout the film. The entire movie is filled with both diegetic and non-diegetic sound. For example, In the scene when Edward is taken to Jim’s house to help break in, it is silent other than the whispers of the characters, and crickets in the area. In this particular scene, the lack of sound and sense of silence alone provide the audience with...

...Diphtheria Treatment: If the health care provider thinks you have diphtheria, treatment should be started immediately, even before test results are available. Diphtheria antitoxin is given as a shot into a muscle or through an IV (intravenous line). The infection is then treated with antibiotics, such as penicillin and erythromycin. People with diphtheria may need to stay in the hospital while the antitoxin is being received. Other treatments may include: * Fluids by IV * Oxygen * Bed rest * Heart monitoring * Insertion of a breathing tube * Correction of airway blockages Anyone who has come into contact with the infected person should receive an immunization or booster shots against diphtheria. Protective immunity lasts only 10 years from the time of vaccination, so it is important for adults to get a booster of tetanus-diphtheria (Td) vaccine every 10 years. Those without symptoms who carry diphtheria should be treated with antibiotics. Expectations (prognosis): Diphtheria may be mild or severe. Some people may not have symptoms. In others, the disease can slowly get worse. The death rate is 10%. Recovery from the illness is slow. Complications: The most common complication is inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis). The nervous system is also frequently and severely affected, which may result in temporary paralysis. The diphtheria toxin can also damage the kidneys. http://www.umm.edu/ency/article/001608trt...

...can help her return home and perhaps award her new friends their goals of a brain, heart and courage. This 1939 adaptation utilizes several of Harold Rosson’s cinematographic elements which highlight the explicit meaning of the film: in her mundane black and white life Dorothy dreams to escape her troubles, however while in the colorful land of Oz she attempts to find maturity through lessons to find power and her inner self. In this scene, Rosson uses a shot/reverse shot technique, which alternates characters, which in this scene shows both sides of the conversation. Accompanying the shot/reverse shot is the technique of an eye-line match revealing whom Dorothy is talking to. The camera movement along with editing technique enables the viewers to see from both Dorothy and Oz’s point of view. The initial dolly out represents who holds power in this scene, as the camera dolly’s out from Oz we see Dorothy and her friends in a wide shot looking up to the ‘powerful’ Oz. As Dorothy tries to regain from the initial intimidation factor the camera Dolly’s out toward Oz, however upon requesting to keep his promises Oz regains power. As the conversation between Dorothy and Oz gets heated, the camera cuts to focus on Toto following by the use of a pan shot, this opens up the floor and reveals a green curtain, once Toto disappears behind the curtain the camera returns to Dorothy which then using a dolly shot turns the focus off Oz, and onto Dorothy and the curtain.

...school. If you are an adult who has not had the vaccination or the diseases, you may need the MMR shot, too. Measles starts as a fever, cough, runny nose, conjunctivitis (pinkeye), and a red, pinpoint rash that starts on the face and spreads to the rest of the body. If the virus infects the lungs, it can cause pneumonia. Measles in older children can lead to inflammation of the brain, called encephalitis, which can cause seizures and brain damage. The mumps virus usually causes swelling in glands just below the ears, giving the appearance of chipmunk cheeks. Before the vaccine, mumps was the most common cause of both meningitis (inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord) and acquired deafness in the U.S. In men, mumps can infect the testicles, which can lead to infertility. Rubella is also known as German measles. It can cause a mild rash on the face, swelling of glands behind the ears, and in some cases, swelling of the small joints and low-grade fever. Most children recover quickly with no lasting effects. But if a pregnant woman gets rubella, it can be devastating. If she’s infected during the first trimester of pregnancy, there's at least a 20% chance her child will have a birth defect such as blindness, deafness, a heart defect, or mental retardation. MMR is a two-shot series of vaccines usually given during childhood. A child should receive the first shot when he is between 12-15 months, and the second when he's between 4-6 years of age. According to the...
