...“Charleston”, fades in and then is surrounded by other words making a quote. These other words fade out, leaving just “Charleston”. This happens once more forming a different quote and then everything fades black into the next shot. After this, the audience learns that Charleston is obviously the town that the opening quote was explaining. The next shot starts off with the camera fixed on a tower with clouds surrounding it. The shot is dark but slowly starts to lighten, as time seems to fast-forward with the clouds moving quickly across the screen. This shows the audience that it is morning. Next the camera circles above Charleston from further showing the city that surrounds the tower from the previous shot. Now the audience gets to see the layout of Charleston and what the city is like. After this the film cuts to close ups of a couple citizens on the street, both of whom look unhappy. The camera also gets a close up of two armored truck guards outside a bank, while a voice in the background gives information about the guards past and present. During these close ups the film cuts multiple times and switches to different angles, showing the scene of the armored truck and guards from basically every view that could be seen from street level. This could tell the audience that something is about to happen in this location very soon. After this, the shot switches to a group of guys talking about...

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Even though modern technology has invested millions, even billions, into projection screen technology, high definition projectors, and even projectors for our cell phones, we have forgotten that we will always need something to project on. Unfortunately, with the tragic proliferation of advertising these days, we are probably looking at a future world where all the space on the buildings is taken for billboards and other various projected ads. The only place that would not be taken is the spaces that people walk through. However, that is an option that we can use, with the Heliodisplay or Fogscreen projector. [pic] Figure.1.1 Heliodisplay. Current technologies attempt to create the visual perception of a free-floating image through the manipulation of depth cues generated from two-dimensional data employing well-established techniques. A few examples of these include stereoscopic imaging via shutter or polarized glasses, as well as auto-stereoscopic technologies composed of lenticular screens directing light from a conventional display, or real-imaging devices utilizing concave mirror arrangements. All of these technologies suffer convergence and accommodation limitations. In order to resolve this visual limitation, the image and its perceived location must coincide spatially. A well-established method solving this constraint is by projection onto an invisible...

...The general theme of the Riefenstahl’s film is to display the greatness in Adolf Hitler as a mighty leader while presenting the tremendous return of Germany to power. The director uses a variety of film making techniques like aerial photography, use of long focus lenses, and camera movement. Riefenstahl applies aerial photography in scenes like the landing of Hitler’s plane. She makes sure that the camera floats through the clouds before Hitler’s plane comes in to view. As the plane hovers above Nuremberg, it casts a cross shaped shadow on the crowd that has assembled to welcome Hitler. The film begins with the only commentary prologue in it. The prologue consists of texts shown in a grey background. The purpose of the prologue is to state the purpose of Hitler’s visit to Nuremberg. Hitler purposed to evaluate the columns of his truthful followers in the city. Then, Riefenstahl directs the film to an eye catching introduction. As Hitler enters, the city, the Nazi officials conduct a welcoming ceremony. Hitler stands before a Mercedes Benz that is in a motorcade. During the welcoming ceremony, a large crowd that consists of women, children, and uniformed soldiers wave and conduct a welcoming salute to Hitler. Thereafter, a woman holding a small child on one hand presents a banquet of flowers to Hitler. Within the scene, flags embolden with swastikas flying on many parts of the streets. Through the film, the director shows that Germany had suffered many political and economic...

...says there are 3 main purposes of the Woman’s Film. Which purpose (choose one) do you think best describes the messages in Mildred Pierce? Explain why. Jeanine Basinger's article, "The Genre" discusses 3 main purposes of the Woman's film. I believe the purpose that best describes the message in Mildred Pierce would be the purpose of choices. Mildred Pierce makes many choices that have a relation on what tends to happen in the next chain of events. The reason she makes these choices is to make her current situation better in any way possible. The ability to make a choice is the underlying message that the story makes. For example, Mildred is in a situation where she is jobless and does not have a husband who can support her. Therefore she steps out of her boundaries and takes a stand to find a job and eventually open a business. She does become successful but she has to give up on her personal life to become more successful and support her daughter. She chooses this lifestyle and has lives with the downfalls of the choices she made. In this case, she is dealing with the downfall of working very hard and not having much of a personal life. This suggests the fact that a woman has to choose from a bunch of choices. 2. Into which Women’s Film category (Molly Haskell's four categories) would you place Mildred Pierce? Why? (Use the Woman's Film Lecture notes for this question). Molly Haskell discusses four categories in Women’s Film- sacrifice, affliction, choice, and competition...

...Travis Hulsey Professor Weaver Freshman Comp I 10 October 2012 The Game of My Career Kevin Bell was a quarterback of a big name team in Madison County, Tennessee. He was six feet four inches tall and was about two hundred twenty pounds. People in the town saw him as a hometown hero. All the girls describe him as nice guy, that was good looking, and always wore nice clothes.. It was his senior year and Kevin was hoping to get recruited to play college football and he had some scout come and look at him his junior year. The scout told him that he needed to work on his footwork in the pocket and also learn to read coverages better. So, he spent countless hours in the film room over the summer, and watched film from the time he woke up to the time he went to sleep. He also made sure that he worked hard in the weight room too. Over the summer he worked so hard that when he came out he was drench with sweat and every bone in his body was sore. All the work he put in over the summer really paid off when the season came around. His team was named The Trojan and they were in the highest division of high school football. This division was known for hard hitters and having some of the best athletes in the nation. Kevin was leading all the categories for quarterback completion percentages, passing yards, touchdowns, and rushing yards. Scouts from the top college in the country were coming to see him: Georgia, Alabama, LSU, USC, Norte Dame, and Florida. He had lead his team to an undefeated...

...Strangelove has cinematic, theatrical, and dramatic elements. These elements have given the film four Academy Awards and also seven BAFTA Awards, of which it won four. These elements are low-key soft lighting, tracking shots, shot/reverse shots, and reaction shots. In both of the scenes, low-key soft lighting is given off by a couple light sources in the scenes. The first being the war room where the U.S. president and all of his staff, as well as the Russian ambassador. Here they are discussing what to do about the bombers that are on there way to bomb targets inside Russia because a general gave them the order to do so without the U.S. president's approval. The low-key soft lighting gives a dark and intense mood do to the situation. The other scene which is in the office of the general who gave the order to attack Russia.

...its effectiveness. I took out the insect repellent bottle and proceeded to reapply a generous amount. The wind shifted and a large cloud of the repellent went into my face and up my nose. This caused me to sneeze and cough a few times. This moment will be important because it plays a role in what happens next. I gathered my backpack and prepared to continue down the trail, when I heard movement below me. The woods became unusually quiet and the hair on my neck stood up. I had the feeling I was being watched. I continued to hear movement down the hill below me. This prompted me to take video of the area where the sound of movement was originating. I heard the movement. I did see a suspicious looking anomaly while I was zoomed in at the maximum power. Closer examination of the video, at a later time, showed an anomaly. The anomaly was a possible pale looking Bigfoot hiding in the thick vegetation. I record video in a complete circle searching the vegetation for any sign of movement. After approximately ten minutes I decide to move back to the trail and continue on my way. I begin my walk up the narrow trail at approximately 5:00 PM. Note the time, it will be important later. I traverse the trail at a leisurely pace and I film both forward and backward as I walk. I had decided to walk out the trail for thirty minutes, then turn around and walk back. This trail goes on for several miles so I kept an eye on my watch and when thirty minutes had elapsed I turned around and headed...

...HIS 102 December 7, 2012 Film Review of Dr. Strangelove or: How I learned to stop worrying and Love the Bomb Plot Summary: The class was asked to review the film Dr. Strangelove or: How I learned to stop worrying and Love the Bomb. The movie was a satirical comedy about nuclear weaponry and what could happen if the wrong person pushed the wrong button. At the core of the film was the story of top-ranking men of the United States and the Soviet Union who had become so destabilized by their inferiority complexes, they dared to use nuclear war as a way to supplement their short-comings. Ironically, the movie was made during a time when the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union was, perhaps, at its worst. To the politically-aware, the film could have seemed rather untimely. The film was a ridiculously exaggerated take on Cold War attitudes, with the primary focus being the satirical theory of mutual assured destruction (MAD). Even though MAD was a realistic threat during the time, the film made it seem trivial and funny. The film opened with the mid-air refueling of a long-range bomber with obvious sexual overtones. After that, the movie shifted into gear when General Jack D. Ripper became mentally unhinged and sent bombers to attack the Soviet Union. The subject of the movie was Dr. Strangelove, a mysterious, wheelchair-bound German scientist whose mechanical arm was always on the verge of a Nazi salute. Loaded with...

...What happens when 21st century kids finally watch the biggest myth of the '70s? Thursday, Sep 22, 2011 This day has been a long time coming. We all have landmarks by which we measure our lives and our accomplishments, goals you've set for yourself that you've either accomplished or not, and I'm certainly someone who holds film experiences very dear. The moment I knew I'd spend the rest of my life somehow involved in movies took place in a dark movie theater when I was seven years old, and it was one of those lightning bolt occasions. I felt pinned to the back of my chair as I watched a tiny blockade runner fleeing from a seemingly endless Star Destroyer that just kept coming out and over, more real than anything I had ever seen, and I've never wavered in my determination to be involved in storytelling somewhere, somehow. Because of the relevance of "Star Wars" in my development as a fan of storytelling in general, reaching the moment of sharing these films with my kids has been one of my primary goals since I've been writing about the entire experience of sharing narrative with my children. I know people who start screening the films for their kids as soon as they are old enough to open their eyes, and I respect that. Of course I know other people who don't think it's of any particular importance, and I respect that as well. For me, "Star Wars" is special, and I wanted to wait until they were old enough to process them as stories, so they're not just wallpaper...

...the preface given by Spike Jonze, to a video he filmed in April of 2011. In this video, an L.A. street dancer named Lil Buck performs a style of dance, which is commonly referred to as “gangster walking”, while classical musician Yo-Yo Ma accompanies him on the cello. The performance cannot be compared to anything else – the blend of street dancing and classical music is truly a unique combination. It’s a combination that we don’t see in everyday life, a distortion of reality – which is most likely why Jonze was drawn to the idea. From his early days as a music video director and all throughout his career, Spike Jonze has had a penchant for escaping the confines of reality. From one of his earliest music videos, which plays in reverse, to films like Being John Malkovich and Where the Wild Things Are, in which he literally brings the viewer in to a new reality. This distortion of reality is a mirror of Spike’s obsession with straying from convention, in narrative and filmmaking technique. While Spike and his characters may seek to escape the confines of reality, what they are really seeking under the surface is acceptance. Spike’s work reveals a common human tension – the desire to be unique, yet also accepted. One reoccurring theme that reverberates through much of Jonze’s work is the idea of a distorted reality. Jonze has proven to be a master of manipulating the techniques of filmmaking to create this effect. During his time as a music video director, Jonze directed a...

...Systematically the U.S. started bombing the North Vietnamese cities, but while America were more advanced in the military, they where not able to defeat their opponents.
