For my final project, I used my Canon – EOS Rebel T6i camera and my tripod. After receiving details on the final project, I was leaning towards more of a music video, because I have always wanted to do a music video using the song “My Way” sung by Frank Sinatra. This song is my grandpa’s favorite song, so I really wanted to create scenes that were very relevant to his daily life and what it had been for many, many years. I used some jump cuts, for my angles/shots I used Dutch/tilt, over the shoulder, bird’s eye view (aerial), wide shot, medium, and close up etc. I spent a lot of time on brainstorming ideas as to how I can shoot shots of someone’s life in four or so minutes. I started writing a list of things, while also reading the lyrics. The song “My Way,” is about living life the way you wanted to and even though there were ups and downs, you always did whatever it is you had to in that moment. So looking back on my grandpa’s life so far, he always worked, wanted to create a business that his children could run and grandchildren could be a part of when he passes on. While on the other side, he doesn’t want to give up his passion (working in the lumber industry) and so he disregards his wife’s feelings, by always working and didn’t and still doesn’t spend enough quality time, especially in his older age with his wife. …show more content…
I shot scenes such as the older gentlemen working at the office, to going to the sawmill to inspect wood, to his wife being upset and looking back on when they got married and the small laughing and crying moments of their life so far. Since this song came out in the 60’s, I wanted to make by film black and white, to really empathize the simplicity of my
One of the most obvious portrayals of the bleakness and desperation of the era is the overall faded and washed-out look of the whole film, due to manipulation of the film saturation; the heaviness of it almost cries out to the audience. Though the film was shot during the summer, cinematographer Roger Deakins and Cinesite colorist Julias Friede were able to use digital technology to change the appearance of the colors. “Together, they worked on manipulating the [digital] saturation of the images, and in particular selecting the greens of the trees and grass and turning them into dry browns and yellows” (Escaping, 2). These dry browns and yellows enhance the audience’s impression of the desperation of the characters and the time period. Brown is a prominent color shown not only in the overall appearance but in the specific image of the dry brown of the dirt which also clings to the clothes of the three main characters: Everett, Pete, and Delmar....
The use of cinematography throughout this film helps to get the point of the film across to the audience. One of the most iconic scenes in this film features near the ending, in the background there is sound of an ongoing war which represents the war against the indigenous culture, while ‘Dave’ and ‘Gail’ are in a tent together holding hands. The camera zooms in on their hands, and the audience can see the difference between the skin colours, it shows how close they are regardless of what has happened in the past.
The lighting along with the music becomes dim and depressing when Doris reminisces because they also need to reflect her mood. There is also a great use of blackouts in the play. The blackouts represent a
Have you ever read a book and thought, “Is this real? Can this really happen to someone?” Most people just read a book without thinking about the true meaning behind the words. In the book called, "My Bloody Life - The Making of a Latin King" by Reymundo Sanchez, it makes a vivid picture about Reymundo’s life story that seems to start innocently with a boy that is lost in the world. The purpose of this paper is to give me the opportunity to create an assessment based on Reymundo’s family issues and to find out how the community issues have a role in contributing to the outcome of how a person turns out in the long run.
How would you feel if you had family problems? In 1987, Sandra Cisneros released a novel called My Wicked, Wicked Ways. In the book, she has a poem also named “My Wicked, Wicked Ways.” The poem about the narrator looking at an old picture. The narrator then has flashbacks about his family. The narrator mentions what the father did, and how the mother reacted to the father’s actions. During the flashback, it is revealed that the father is cheating on his wife. The mother, gets mad at the father, but the father doesn’t stop. The mother ends up getting used to the father’s infidelity, and just lets it happen for the next few years. At the end of the flashback, the narrator speaks in a disappointed, but smug, tone about how he was the baby being held by the mother in the picture. After drawing out the connotations and the shifts of the poem, I can say the theme of this poem is “In society,
This movie is a wonderful production starting from 1960 and ending in 1969 covering all the different things that occurred during this unbelievable decade. The movie takes place in many different areas starring two main families; a very suburban, white family who were excepting of blacks, and a very positive black family trying to push black rights in Mississippi. The movie portrayed many historical events while also including the families and how the two were intertwined. These families were very different, yet so much alike, they both portrayed what to me the whole ‘message’ of the movie was. Although everyone was so different they all faced such drastic decisions and issues that affected everyone in so many different ways. It wasn’t like one person’s pain was easier to handle than another is that’s like saying Vietnam was harder on those men than on the men that stood for black rights or vice versa, everyone faced these equally hard issues. So it seemed everyone was very emotionally involved. In fact our whole country was very involved in president elections and campaigns against the war, it seemed everyone really cared.
When I first went to view the works of art in the Nohr Gallery, I was somewhat disappointed. While the works of art were all very well done, I did not find a piece which “spoke to me” in a way. I had hoped for this, since I am always looking for new art to enjoy. When I went to take pictures of some of the pieces, I found that the battery of my camera ran out of energy. I left, and waited for another day to take pictures. While thinking about which piece to analyze, “Procession-You are on Your Way!” slowly grew on me, and when I returned I found that I gained an appreciation for this piece.

David Leans version was made in 1946 so it is shot in black and white.
throughout my life, I have often noticed the way in which certain issues often seem to go unnoticed. This is due to various variables, for example, the severity of the issues meaning how many people are affected and how. However, through the Ali scholar program individuals at the college level can explore topics which might seem obscure to others but affect people not only around the worlds but also in the local community. I want to be able to gain the skills to view an issue and see how it is displayed in various cultures around the world. Additionally, I would be able to recognize these issues I would also think critically in creating a solution. Not only would this program aide in the development of my skills but I would also be an asset to the program due to my previous experiences.
The novels Binti and To the Lighthouse depicts some real-world problems that students face every day. This includes finding yourself or “attempting to learn what kind of person one is and wants in life” (Dictionary.com). People are used to being disguised or act the way society tells them to but never themselves.
Forth are Lighting and color. In case of Lighting, this film uses High key light that makes this film look like natural light and feel warm. In the case of color, some scene of this film use warm color to express love and warmth to audience such as in the wedding scene or some scene use dark color to express about sad feeling such as funeral scene and in scene that Rosie knows her dad was died. I think in some scene if you watch it in HD, it’s very beautiful such as in scene that Rosie drinks a cup of coffee and thinks about the past in sunset time because Lighting and color of sunset time is very
Find The Way, the second ECM outing by praiseworthy American pianist Aaron Parks, flows steadily and unhurriedly as it keeps creating generous settings, each of them with delightful nuances to be discovered and savored. Opposing to his previous Arborescence, recorded solo, the new work flourishes in a classic piano trio with bassist Ben Street and drummer Billy Hart providing reliable substrative integrity.
As children people seldom think about their future, what they don’t realize is that their childhood is creating their future. The things that people experience during their childhood makes them who they are as adults. Which I believe, is why every person in the world is so different, we all went through different experiences. This viewpoint has motivated me to interview my grandfather to learn about his childhood, and maybe get some insight on how he has come to be the incredible man I know. I was not disappointed, my grandfather shared so much information with me, lots of things I had no clue about. My grandfathers name Gary Summerton, he is a young 64-year-old man with dreadlocks and a ginormous heart. His greatest loves in life (besides me of course) are the mountains, his bike and travelling the world with my
“Just the way you are” by Bruno Mars is a love song talking about how his significant other is perfect just the way she is. Twelfth Night is a play with multiple themes, but the most prominent one would be infatuation. The whole play revolves around a love triangle that where each character would argue that there significant other was perfect “Just the way they are.” Each character explains their pure admiration throughout the play. Bruno Mars’s song about looks helps connect the ideas of lust within the play.
