...Hello and good morning/evening, what do you believe makes a relationship, is it love, friendship or is it established when you are born between your parents and siblings? How could this everyday phenomenon, which drives our will to live and excel, be so simple? “The Catcher in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger and “The Dark Knight” directed by Christopher Noland are my chosen examples to explore themes such as hatred, mortality and deceit, which consist of various factors affecting relationships like self-isolation, our psychological health and propaganda. “The Cather in the Rye” explores these themes in a Dark, cynical but somewhat compassionate tone, accompanied with moments of humor. “The Dark Knight” is similar and explores the themes in a dark and disturbing tone, with the addition of action. “The Catcher in the Rye” demonstrates the theme of hatred with Holden’s hate towards the adult world around him, however as a consequence this causes personal, social and mental isolation from the world and an inability to create meaningful relationships. This is the main factor for Holden’s isolation from the world, and is symbolized throughout the novel with Holden’s red hunting hat. The majority of the people he encounters are deemed as ‘phonies’ for Holden as they do not follow with his view of the world, this generalization further prevent him from making relationships and reflects upon his immaturity. The last page of the novel and more importantly the quote, “All I know is I sort...

...is set in a woodland forest surrounded by snow and tree trunks. It shows a wide shot of the forest with a dear in the far background. Non-diagetic sound appears when the dear starts to come closer towards the camera. The non-diagetic sound is of a man repeating a prayer. This builds suspension and makes the audience question why he is narrating a prayer. The camera then walks back, and soon focuses on a rifle gun, which is pointing towards the dear, as the non-diagetic sound of the prayer is still being said. This suggests to the audience that the dear is either going to get shot for pleasure, or for food. As soon as the non-diagetic sound of the prayer ends with an “Amen”, the camera comes behind the 2 men, which shows an over shoulder shot, and the gun then gets fired. Diagetic sound of the gunshot is loud and clear. The over shoulder shot, allows us to know who is firing at the dear, and shows us from behind there point of view. Diagetic sound of the dear dying, suggests its been killed in a miserable way. As soon as the rifle has been fired, non-diagetic music appears with a slow beat thud noise. This shows that it’s the ending of the scene. As the slow beat music is playing, the man with a rough looking beard faces towards the young teen that shot the dear, in a proud manner, and taps him on the back. A tapping on the back shows proudness, and a good job. The scene changes to a wide shot of a truck driving along the highway. Non-diagetic sound of the radio is playing...

...himself strands on a small isolated island. He has all the time to figure out how to survive. In the film we can see the use of visual techniques in showing changes of the main character. Camera shots are used to demonstrate different aspects of character. A wide shot is used after the plane crushes, When chuck was struggling on the yellow life raft floating alone in the big ocean and at that time the weather was bad, heavily raining. This is shows us how small and how powerless he is. The director also uses a when shot when Chuck first arrive the island to show a empty place with no life, no ship and no technology so this means he has to finds water, food shelter and a way to prevent himself from being destroyed by loneliness. Another camera shot that the director uses is close up shots. The close up shots are focusing on his face and hand when he was making a fire to show us that it is huge progress from him because we can see he bites his lip, grills his teeth and there are some sweat on his face. He is concentrating very hard. There are other close up focused on his hand when he used his finger to draw eyes, nose and mouth and gives it a name ‘Wilson’ He shares his feelings with it. This is significant as the volleyball becomes his companion. The most important close up shot is focused on the pocket watch. The director was to represent to us that it is a symbol of Chuck’s love for Kelly even though it is broken but it is still important for him because it has Kelly’s photo...

...Threshold Of Revelation By Christopher A. Johnson Scene 1 FADE IN on a long shot of New York City, approaching from the south. It is dusk, and the lights of the city are beginning to twinkle against the backdrop of the vibrant city. Quick cuts to street level scenes of well-known locales between title cards naming the cast. These scenes and title cards are cut with a moving shot of the George Washington Bridge (span, cables, deck, towers, etc.) from different angles and perspectives. . The credits end on one continuous shot as we approach a figure standing on the south side of the bridge, staring out over the Hudson River and the lights of Manhattan to the south. This is DECKER JONAS. He is tall and striking, wearing jeans, a t-shirt, and a hoodie. The camera then circles behind Decker going from left to right, catching Deckers view of the city at sunset. As the camera completes its half circle to the right and comes to a complete stop at DECKER’S ¾ profile we see he is holding a piece of paper, it is folded, he unfolds the paper and begins to read, a voice over begins. It is Decker’s voice. DECKER: Mom. Dad. I feel as though I’m losing myself again. [ 1. PAN to OS Right showing the letter] I know I am. I can feel life spinning away from me, and this time I have nothing to hold on to. Its as though I’m on one of those tacky carnival rides that Dad would take me on at Edgewater Days when I was a kid, although now he’s not there to hold...

...self discovery that results in great personal growth. Tim Winton’s short story Big World is also a story of a boy’s rite of passage. Both texts explore the personal cost of their protagonists’ discoveries as they must endure great suffering, isolation and the loss of innocence in order to discover themselves and their place in the big picture of life. Lee’s film is structured to portray an ordeal that fluctuates between great suffering and great joy. Pi cannot be free to discover himself while he exists within the comfort zone of his family. The sinking of the Tsimtsum casts him into the ‘ocean of life’ where he must fend for himself. The aerial shot of his head, dwarfed by the vast, dark ocean emphasises his vulnerability as he is cast adrift. His intense suffering is revealed most powerfully in the storm scene where wide shots again portray his vulnerability in the wild sea and Christ-like imagery shows him screaming at his ‘God’, arms spread in supplication: “Why are you scaring him? I’ve lost my family. I’ve lost everything. I surrender. What more do you want?” Pi’s life raft is swept away, symbolising the loss of his haven and material possessions and a high angle shot of Richard Parker shows that even the tiger – a symbol of Pi’s braver and more primitive self – is afraid. A sustained scene that cuts between shots of Pi bracing himself against the sides of the boat, and shots of him and the tiger being swamped by waves emphasises the prolonged nature of his...

...view on crime in New Orleans changed. I remember being at one of my classmates birthday party. We were all having a good time at this teem club. We were all dancing, drinking, and having fun. After about two hours there was a fight. It was one of my friends and some other boys. Everybody got scared and started running. The club owner began to push us. Any person who was around the fight and in it got pushed out of the club. That included me. All you heard was big boom. That was the door slamming. When he shut the door there were about fifteen of us left outside. So many people were running downing the street screaming as the fight continued. I ran and hid behind a pay phone. The pay phone was only a few feet away from the fight. Breathing hard, afraid to go any other way. Within five minutes the fight was over. Then were gun shots. Pow , pow, pow ,pow, pow, and pow. My eyes were closed. When I opened them I could see my friend face down. He was shot down multiple times. All I heard was a car that sped off. After the gun shots, stopped the club owner open the door. So many people ran out. We were all crying and screaming. “Call the police”. “Somebody help him”. I was terrified. My hands, legs, and feet were trembling. After about twenty minutes the police and ambulance arrived. So many people were at the crime scene. Just hurt by everything that had happen. My view on crime was never the same. Since then crime has only gotten worse. Since 2008, I have lost a total of ten people...

...product. The feedback which I got from the target audience is that the product overall is educational and that the information given on each page was the right amount. The users also commented on the videos, they believed that the videos form the techniques section was a good idea of for the users to actually visualize the shot and that they will be more likely to understand how to do the shots and will be able to do it themselves. Another user also commented on the rollover buttons which are on the menu page; they thought that it was an interesting feature to the product. Also they said that the navigation of the product was easy as I had every button on each page which made it easy for them to look at different pages without them going back to the menu page. Improvements to be made from the feedback: One of the test users stated out that I have included a smash shot on the introduction animation; however, I didn’t include this particular shot on the techniques page. I will include a page which gives information about the smash shot; this is because the user who stated out the error is a professional badminton player and wrote that this is shot is the shots which are used in badminton. I will include relevant information about the forehand smash and backhand smash and also I will...

...is no unrealistic mood music creating it. It strengthens identity with Pip as he can hear everything the audience can and also creates a contrast to other scenes. The wind throughout this scene almost serves as mood music as it gets louder and quieter to create tension, it is also used later on in the scene when Magwich lets his guard down and then an increase of the wind makes him tense once more. Only using diegetic music also draws attention to smaller sounds for example, when Pip drops the glass later on in the scene. The sharp sound is incredibly obvious compared to all other sounds used in the scene. Secondly the technique of pathetic fallacy is employed through the use of the pouring rain and wind which creates the establishing shot for this scene. The dark, low key lighting and the night sky amplifies the feeling that something negative is going to happen. The diegetic sound of the wind and church bells reflects on the first time the convict was introduced. The parallel scene symbolises the convict’s presence as the church bells gives a link with the church in the opening scene....

...Moulin Rouge Moulin Rouge is a film that is noted for its non-traditional use of cinematography its, shot durations, and its special effects, in order to convey certain themes or tones throughout its run. One of these themes is disorientation, which sees usage in multiple key scenes of the film. In an early scene, Christian helps Toulouse-Lautrec’s group rehearse Spectacular Spectacular, a play the group is developing. The artistic differences between the group’s members are rendered with very short takes. Each of the characters’ suggestions is given one take, interspersed with even shorter takes of Christian and Audrey’s reactions. As the characters start talking over one another, close ups of them are rendered with even quicker shots than before. This usage of short takes helps accentuate the groups’ disparity. This lack of direction disorientates both the audience and Christian, who serves as the film’s narrator. As such, third person shots of Christian are used to showcase him trying to gain the groups’ attention. When he finally sings out his lyrics for the play, shot durations become noticeably longer, showing that the situation is slowly coming to order thanks to his suggestion. In the next scene, we get our first glimpse of the Moulin Rouge. The audience is quickly treated to a wide variety of spectacular characters, shown mostly in medium long and close up shots. Short takes of are used to depict most of the scene, as the characters practically flash past the viewer’s...

...Lacrosse A team game, originally played by North American Indians, in which the ball is thrown, caught, and carried with a long handled stick having a curved L-shaped or triangular frame at one end with a piece of shallow netting in the angle. The rules of lacrosse are different. There are different types of lacrosse. In this case we will be talking about the (MLL) Major Lacrosse League. The rules State that the MLL uses a 60-second shot clock, which is reset after a goal is scored, a shot hits the post or is saved by the goalie, or there is a change of possession. If the clock runs out, possession is granted to the other team. Because of the shot clock, there is no restraining box to "keep it in". There are two television timeouts per quarter in MLL games. They are at the first dead ball stoppages under 9 minutes and under 4 minutes. Dead ball stoppages include goals, penalties, and changes of possession. There is a maximum of 19 players dressed in uniform per team in MLL games. All quarters and overtime periods must begin with a face off, regardless of a man up or man down situation. The strategy for Lacrosse is quite simple to be a good Lacrosse player. The key to being a good Lacrosse player is to use your speed. Also to keep the ball as close to you as possible so the opponents stick won’t hit it and go loose. Another good tactic is to use a lot of passing and that will make you and your team a good team. The equipment...
