It’s a Girl a girl is a dramatic, gruesome scene where Kee gives birth in this run down room. The room is almost completely dark with a small light illuminating the room only enough to see some of the actors faces and actions. Exposed brick, black mold ruining down the walls broken windows. The camera pans the room while Theo is trying to deliver Kee’s baby as if to not only to show whats happing at all angles but also to bringing more tension to show the horrible conditions she has to deliver her baby in, in that room and the state of the current world. Once the camera finishes panning their bodies it zooms in at a side angel, where Kee’s face slowly moves out of the frame and you have a medium close up of Theos' face and between Kee’s legs. …show more content…
There is a misty cloud of dauber, grey in color over the room. The camera zooms in on Theo in an extreme close up with his face displaying worry over the current situation. Then it makes a cut to the a hallway with the mist covering peoples faces and also because it is darkly lit. The third cut in the scene is made back to Theo and Kee soon after the fourth cut is made. The camera angled at a different position as well and zoomed in on a women siting on the floor with her hand out, the camera highlights her hand as it reaches out toward Kee in disappear and joy as they see the baby in shock.

Disasters can be so impactful; some can forever change the course of history. While many at the time thought this story would soon pass, and with it all the potential bad publicity, the story of the Triangle fire spread quickly, and outraged many people. On a beautiful spring day in March 1911 when 146 workers lost their lives, a fire would prove it could do what years of reformers had failed to do, get the government on the side of the workers. I would argue that the fire largely impacted the country. Specifically, the Triangle Fire ended up changing New York’s interconnected political and economic scene, and spurred on the creation of stricter safety codes. For the first time owners would hold responsibility for their actions. Max Blanck and Isaac Harris; being indicted for manslaughter was proof of this. Social change seemed to be spurred as well; the general public and newspapers would come back the workers of New York. Large institutions would suffer as well. Tammany Hall would be feared less and less by waves of new immigrants. The largest change brought about by the blaze would be legislation. Twenty-five bills, recasting the labor laws of the state

This scene is used to emphasise the danger that Dave and The Sapphires are in very real and very lethal danger, the mixture of sinister camera angles to emphasise the visual danger that the characters are in to the inhospitable sounds portrayed by the scene to highlight the explosive danger that the characters are in. The lighting used features the darkness and the difficulty to see due to the night sky.
The Chicago Fire of 1871 In the 19th century, the population in Chicago was quickly rising to great numbers. In 1850, the population reached 30,000. Areas in all parts of Chicago started to become extremely over crowded, especially downtown. At this point, all structures were built out of wood, including buildings, streets, and even sidewalks (“Chicago Fire of 1871”). About one hundred days before the great fire occurred, not even an inch of rain had fallen throughout the city, and heavy, strong winds were blowing through Southwest.

The City of Detroit, Michigan, seems to be a city on the decline in America. Job prospects some of the lowest in the country and one of the only cities to be shrinking, rather than growing. There are a lot of problems Detroit is facing, one of them is there incidence rate for fires. Detroit is the number one city in America for house fires, not to mention their high rate of fires in the many vacant buildings throughout the city. There are many socioeconomic factors with the city that make the incident rates rise, and response less effective.
The Cleveland Clinic fire of 1929 was a major structure fire at the Cleveland Clinic hospital on May 15, 1929. The fire was caused by nitrocellulose x-ray film that was too close to an exposed light bulb which ignited the film. This caused two different explosions to occur and also caused poisonous gases to spread throughout the area. The fire caused 123 people to lose their lives, among them was one of the founders of the Cleveland Clinic, Dr. John Phillips. Eighty of the victims of the fire were patients or visitors, the rest were employees. It was found that the majority of the deaths came from the poisonous gas that was emitted from the film. The Cleveland Clinic fire influenced major changes in local and federal levels of fire protection and hospital safety.
The opening scene fades into a girl rolling along a wheelbarrow. A horse is trotting along in front of her. Both of these indicate that she is in a rural area or on a farm. The camera is behind her and we don’t see her face. It is lit naturally and demonstrates deep space (it focuses on the breadth of the entire view of the camera). The camera then cuts to a shot of a boy on a bicycle, in a similar setting as the girl. The sun is facing the camera, creating a natural glare. He rides towards us and then goes out of view. We cut again to the girl, this time closer up. We see her face for the first time. She is probably around 8 years old. The music is a soft, playful piano piece that goes along with her footsteps as she is playing. There are a series of cuts between the boy and the...
A joyous celebration of the sanctity of life is generated through the element of Mood and atmosphere. The clip begins with a soft orchestration of piano and violin, creating a magical melody. The choice of melody creates the mood and atmosphere that influences the audience to feel joyous from the outset. The use of lighting adds dramatic effect to the mood and atmosphere of this scene; a warm yellow beam of light streams out of the barn, cutting through the dark and rainy morning, which
Sound is an incredibly relevant part of filmmaking. Although often misunderstood, it helps to generate a more realistic episode by recreating the sonic experience the scene needs. Its main goal is to enhance the emotions that each section is trying to convey by adding music and effects alongside moving images. Psycho (Hitchcock, 1960), is one of the most popular films of the XX Century (Thomson, 2009). Commonly recognised as a masterpiece for its cinematographic, editing and musical values, it changed cinema forever by “playing with darker prospects (…) of humanity such as sex and violence (Thomson, 2009)”. This paper will analyse the sound effects used in the shower scene and its repercussions
Is it really possible to have hope even through the roughest of times? Hope, a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen. In Haiti living a stress free, careless life is impossible. Everyone is poor and living in poverty. This lifestyle affects all aspects of the Haitian life. In the book Krik Krak, a series of short stories, the author Danticat uses juxtaposition to create indifferent characters that in return create the overall mood of hope throughout the book. Specific examples of indifferent characters creating the overall mood of hope include a desperate woman, a restless mother, and a depressed father.
The Great Chicago Fire started on October 8th, 1871 and is said to be one of the biggest events in Chicago’s history. To this day, nobody really knows how the fire was started; however, most say it started in a barn behind the home of Patrick and Catherine O’Leary. There are claims that their cow was the cause, but that’s just one of the many myths that were started. The way that most of the buildings were built during this time, it was only a matter of time before a major fire happened. With all the catastrophic events that took place during the fire, there were also many great effects that occurred after the fire was over and the reconstruction process began.
When the term "miracle" comes to mind, the average person doesn’t quite know what to say. After all, a miracle is something unexplained that is looked upon in awe. Webster’s Universal Dictionary defines a miracle as:
Heroism. Heroism is “heroic conduct” or “courageous action”(“Heroism”). People throughout America’s history, and the world’s history, for more than hundreds of years, have satisfied the standards of heroism, rising above and doing what is right. Heroism doesn’t have to mean saving somebody’s life. To be a hero, one does not need a cape or a villain to fight. Exhibiting acts of heroism can be as small helping retrieve a cat from a tree or as large as helping put out the fire of a burning building. Whether one’s acts of heroism are miniscule or major, they occur every day by ordinary people, proving their extraordinary abilities. After World War II ended, many acts of heroism were displayed that are still remembered today, specifically involving Operation Little Vittles. Over two million citizens living in West Berlin were doomed, cut off from the outside world by the Russians, praying for a miracle. Their wish came true when a handful of pilots agreed to drop thousands of tons of food and fuel from the air in Berlin. One of these esteemed pilots goes by the name of Gail Halvorsen, who changed the situation of the Russian blockade for the better. Halvorsen made the daring decision to drop thousands of individual packages of candy to all of the sweet deprived citizens of West Berlin. Pilot Gail Halvorsen contributed a daring effort by flying day in and day out dropping candy all with the hopes of trying to improve the awful conditions for those involved in the blockade, putting smiles on people’s faces and living up to the standards of heroism.
The producer was aiming to create mystery and fear. The dark of the night and the description of the house as feeling dead in the protagonist’s narration sets a suspenseful scene filled with fear and tension. The young girl is followed by the camera as she explores the mansion. When entering the room suspected to be that of her aunts the camera leaves her side to pan around the room. The darkness doesn’t reveal everything but one becomes aware of a search. The revelation of little secrets leaves the viewer with many questions. The room is familiar to the protagonist as she finds items symbolic to her and familiar photographs. This familiarity however does not retract from suspicions that something sinister has been hidden. The producer has successfully captivated the viewer. The protagonist is being followed throughout the scene and has thus allowed for the viewer to bond with them. They are engaging with the audience through narration and have in return enticed the viewer to follow them along their journey.

In his painting, View of the Great Fire of Pittsburgh, artist William C. Wall depicts the despair and opportunities the fire caused. The painting itself is a direct reference to the fire that occurred in Pittsburgh,on April 10, 1845, that destroyed approximately one-third of the city and cost between $6-12 million in damage. Unfortunately, frame builder and artist, William C. Wall, had a first-hand encounter to the negative effects of the fire; his shop, Plain & Fancy Portrait & Picture Frames, was completely eradicated. This experience is what drove William C. Wall to paint the landscape, View of the Great Fire of Pittsburgh, along with his other painting Pittsburgh after the Fire from Boyd's Hill, which illustrates the outcome of the fire
