I chose to analyze Rumble fish, and I've found very interesting things, especially about the sound and the camera angles. The sound design of the film is very well integrated with all the other elements, and in some moments it gets a very important narrative purpose. Besides that, I also noticed the use of camera angles helping with the narrative, to reinforce pre-established concepts and sometimes to show the characters feelings and emotions. To exemplify aspects of the sound design, we can look at the scene where Rusty James is lying is his bed after been hurt in the fight he had, and his brother is next to him reading a book, and he founds a picture of both of them as children, then he smiles and looks to Rusty; In this scene we can hear children playing and shouting, with a lot of ambience and reverb, so it reinforces the idea that Rusty's brother is remembering their childhood. It's also used in the scene where Rusty, his brother and Steve were walking in the street and Steve asks the motorcycle boy if he is colorblind indeed, and if he is deaf too, and all the background sound is this scene have much reverb and the dialog is lower than the usual, as if we were hearing through the motorcycle boy's perspective. We can also notice in the bar scene, where there are people playing snooker and Rusty is very drunk, that when he sees the trumpet player, we hear a motorcycle sound, that function as a representation of Rusty's thoughts, showing that now he is aware that his brother is not around anymore, and then the background sound becomes very low and the music gets emphasis with some reverb, to cause disorientation. So, to sum up, the score and the sound design in the movie is used to help us understand what is going on in the characters head: what they are thinking or feeling. And this very specific narrative function is not just heard throughout the movie, but it's often showed to us by the use of high or low angle cameras. These angled cameras can give us more information than the dialog in most cases, as for an example on the scene that the motorcycle boy is killed, we see the police officer in a very low angle, attributing power to his figure. Or in the beginning of the movie, before the motorcycle boy appears, Rusty is often portrayed in a low angle, especially when he is with his friends, to show his state of mind and his perception, as if he was indestructible. And the opposite happens in the scene that takes place under a bridge where the motorcycle boy is looking to Rusty and Steve, and since he is the reference for both of them, a high angle is used to show Rusty and Steve below the motorcycle boy, as if he was greater than them; in this case the angle of the camera portrays Rusty's image of his brother.

...the Cold War was at its height and the United Kingdom had just clawed its way out of recession. Perhaps those factors explain why, this week in 1982, when 119 government delegations chose to sign the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the UK was not among them. According to Donald Rumsfeld, Britain’s then-prime minister, Margaret Thatcher, declared UNCLOS to be “nothing less than the international nationalization of roughly two-thirds of the Earth’s surface.” Fifteen years later, when the UK finally acceded to UNCLOS under a Labour government, the convention was applying, for the first time in history, an internationally agreed legal framework to the majority of coastal waters around the world. Countries’ rights to fish, minerals, and other resources were enshrined in law, with recourse to international adjudication should disputes arise. The right of free passage on the high seas was assured. Britain and other countries must now learn from, rather than repeat, the Thatcher government’s mistake. A new debate is emerging about how we govern and exercise stewardship over the high seas – the 45% of the Earth’s surface that lies beyond national jurisdictions. We know that a resource crunch of unprecedented scale is coming. Non-oil commodity prices have risen precipitously in the last decade. The high seas can provide food, minerals, and novel resources for technology and medicine. But the weaknesses of the current governance regime, epitomized by rampant...

...Dustin King Professor Dark English 2301 April 2, 2012 Culture The culture values are very different in the poems that Han-Shan wrote and the story of Jonah that came out of the bible. They both believe that there is a higher being that will judge us but they both go about there life in many different ways. Fore the story from the bible they understand that we are going to sin and that we must do what God says. In the Buddhist poems it is more a sense of never do wrong and all that you do that is going to measure up to all of your faults . The cultural values that are visible in Han-Shan’s poems was that he was a firm believer in Buddhism but he was a follower of the southern branch of the Ch’an or Zen sect, which placed great emphasis upon individual effort and was less wary of emotionalism than earlier Buddhism had been. Watson states, “… as a result Han-Shan’s poetry has little of the tone of dry bland understatement that we see in other poets of Buddhism background. (Watson) Han-Shan’s poems are mostly about a place he supposedly lived which was called Cold Mountain. Buddhist’s try to be one with everything around them and to not fault anything. He speaks of nature and speaks fully in metaphor. “The valleys are long and strewn with stones.’ Han- Shan goes on to say “Who can break from the snares of the world and sit with me among the white clouds.” (Han-Shan) Han-Shan is translated as Cold Mountain, which is also his key point in his poems. Zen Buddhism is...

Overfishing

...such an extent that they will no longer support a sufficient quantity of fish for sport or commercial harvest. Atlantic Bluefin tuna, the most valuable fish among the fish market is in danger of becoming extinct within the next couple of years due to over fishing. Part of the problem is that they are being caught as early as four years old, and don’t start to reproduce till around eight years of age; many are caught before they can even reproduce. This has lead to a ninety percent drop in the species from 1970. Location of the Problem Atlantic Bluefin tuna live in open water mainly around the eastern and western part of the Atlantic Ocean. The tuna spawn in the Gulf of Mexico where quota (in tones) is much lower then along the east side of the Atlantic. The largest yield of Atlantic Bluefin tuna is in the Mediterranean Sea. History Overfishing started in the 1970’s with the introduction to bigger and more effective vessels that were able to catch more fish more effectively. The Atlantic Bluefin tuna gained popularity in the 1970’s with the introduction of the international sushi market. Possible Solutions Measures are being taken right now to try to stop overfishing by making stricter quotas and setting up aquacultures. The 2009 Atlantic Bluefin Tuna quota is 22,000 tones, a twenty percent decrease from the previous year. Yet despite the quota many more Tuna will be caught. When a fish like this is so prized people are willing to break rules to satisfy their...

The Fish

...bring surprises with it. “The Fish” is a poem written by Elizabeth Bishop about her own story when she catches a huge fish while she is in a rented boat. After she catches the fish, she holds it up half out of the water. The fish looks pretty ugly, tired, and old with “shapes like full-blown roses, stained and lost through age” (lines 14-15). Algae is growing on it, and she realizes that the fish has five fishing hooks with the lines still partially attached hanging from its jaw. The speaker start to think how tough this fish must be and how much the fish probably fought through his life to survive. She begins to respect the fish. The story takes a final turn when she lets the fish go. The Theme of the poem is that great lessons can be learned from simple situations in life like a normal day fishing in the ocean. At first the speaker says “I caught a tremendous fish” (1). That is a simple description, then the speaker gives some detail about the fish and how it looks “his brown skin hung like strips like ancient wall-paper”. At this point, the fish is nothing special. After that, the speaker begins to examine the fish more closely, and she imagines the inside of the fish “dramatic reds and blacks,”(30) and a “pink swim-bladder.”(32) The fact that she is using her imagination in connection with the fish implied that the fish has a meaning behind simply being caught. The narrator learned from the persistence and dedication that the fish has. The fish has been caught five time as...

...English Coursework The sands were pearly white. I was memorised by the sea, as sapphire blue as my dear wife’s eyes. It was peaceful. Tranquil. The sun starred it’s raze down on the razor sharp sand. The aroma of hot dogs and filled my nostrils, permeating through the air. Just like the busy streets of New York, but the calm morning breeze of amity island was all I could feel around me. Not a single cloud in the sky, the day seemed as though it was going to be a perfect day, but what is perfect? Then like a flock of birds, they started to arrive, propelling and fighting over the best spots of the beach they could find. I gaze over like an eagle stalking its prey. Piercing screams, high-pitched laughter, children splashing, squishing, and shouting with joy. Beads of sweat trickled down my face as the sun, a gold coin in sky, effervescent, piercing through my skin like the diamond encrusted sand on the soles of my feet. I felt as though I was in paradise. I begin to notice the smiling shore ripple with force, accompanied by piercing screams and shouting. I emerge from my deck chair in alertness. Suddenly, a slim figure is swallowed by the gaping mouth of the Pacific Ocean. My heart begins to beat, race and pulsate, almost like the prey running away from the predator. In relief, she emerged, like a moth cradled in its cocoon, cradled on the shoulders of a friend. I declined back into the embracing arms of my chair feeling composed. I am still on edge, it almost seemed that...

Analysis and Policy Implications 5. Conclusion 1. Introduction The global level of fish stocks are on an overall decline due to overfishing. Areas within South Africa such as the Eastern Cape Province are considered to be the second greatest producing province of aquaculture commodities. Because of the rich aquaculture within the Eastern Cape, the Departments of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, through various criteria based on a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), have selected Algoa Bay within the Eastern Cape to introduce fin fish farming. The various fin fish that are intended to be farmed in this area are linked fishery exports that contribute approximately R411 million per annum in the Eastern Cape. Thus study intends to investigate the development proposal aimed at increasing the growth of the aquaculture industry within South Africa as well as conducting an investigation into the economic and environmental issues associated with the introduction of aquaculture within areas such as Algoa Bay. The objectives with the introduction of fish farms are to increase job creation within the area and more importantly to manage the dwindling stocks of wild fin fish. A cost and benefit analysis will be applied to the Algoa Bay case study...

...themes and several purposes; it is also a short book in the bible that only has four chapters. The recipients of this book would be primarily to Israel, but it as well could be to any individual because we can all relate to the book of Jonah. I am certain that there are individuals that have several of the characteristics of Jonah, being that we all can be disobedient, bitter, resentful, and prideful at times. According to author Hyun Chul Paul Kim, that wrote Jonah Read Intertextually believes that out of all the other twelve Minor Prophets, Jonah has been the one who has been neglected, because people in general refer to him as the prophet that was swallowed by a big fish, because he was stubborn. The Book of Jonah Outline 1. Jonah flees from the Lord. ( 1:1-17) 2. Jonah is delivered from the fish. (2:1-2:10) 3. Jonah obeys God and goes to Nineveh. (3:1-3:10) 4.

Industry

...all work. The Fishing Industry as an example: The old ways of fishing cannot compete in the Global industry today, hence a need for a new and improve means of doing business. Communities will have to designate a portion of the water body to build a fishing port. A fishing harbor will provide a means of docking and undocking, building of boats and other marine lives. Fishing Boats with more sophisticated navigational systems to locate fishes and the ones that can venture into open waters should be built; Canoes just cannot do the job today. Fish Farming must be considered to ensure a year round supply of fish to fuel the industry. Inland fishing should also be looked at. Research Centers must be established to keep the industry at par with new technologies. Students of Universities can engage in Marine Biology and/or Aquarium Science in studying the ocean and its inhabitants and how to protect the environment. Fish Centers with packaging and preservation capabilities should also be built to help control the prices better. A constant source of market must be available to further enhance the industry. Small private businesses that can support this industry are: Restaurants, Grocery Stores, Barbering Shops, Auto mechanics, Law Firms, Communication Centers, Accounting Firms…etc As well as Government offices to support this industry: Post Office, Police and Fire Service, Hospitals, Ports Authority, Schools, City Administration Offices…etc Hospitality Industry...

Cobia

...game fish and taste delicious. Most of the cobia you’ll find in the market comes from aquaculture operations. In the wild, cobia are rarely seen in large groups, so only a small amount is wild-caught. Commercial fishermen do not specifically target cobia and only harvest them incidentally when fishing for other species. China is the leading producer of farmed cobia. Other nations are developing technology to produce cobia, so global production of cobia will likely expand in the future. Ocean-cage operations are under way in Panama, the Bahamas, Vietnam, and Central America. In the United States, a freshwater facility in Virginia is producing and marketing farmed cobia, and research efforts are ongoing to enhance commercial aquaculture of cobia and demonstrate its technical and economic feasibility. LOOKING AHEAD Attaining a maximum length of 2 m (78 in) and maximum weight of 78 kg (172 lb), the cobia has an elongated fusiform (spindle-shaped) body and a broad, flattened head. The eyes are small and the lower jaw projects slightly past the upper. Fibrous villiform teeth line the jaws, the tongue, and the roof of the mouth. The body of the fish is smooth with small scales. It is dark brown in color, grading to white on the belly with two darker brown horizontal bands on the flanks. The stripes are more prominent during spawning, when they darken and the background color lightens. The large pectoral fins are normally carried horizontally, perhaps helping the fish attain...

Water Resources - Overfishing

...advanced tremendously. With a limited time in the fishing seasons, fisheries are forced to catch as many fish as they can as fast as they can. This, along with the growing population of people and their appetites for fish, is causing a major problem with overfishing. Overfishing is the process of catching fish faster then they can reproduce. It is fishing that unsustainably depletes fish stocks or that damages the ocean environment. Overfishing is causing irreversible negative effects within the ocean waters of the earth. Every living thing plays its part in the entire food chain from the smallest of organisms to the largest of animal. From the bottom of the food chain to the top all species are both predator and prey. Every living thing is connected in some fashion and relies on each other to complete the circle of life. When a part of this circle is either in shortage or is missing altogether, there is a break in the chain and everything pays the price in the end. Overfishing has become a major problem in recent decades. The damage that overfishing has already caused in the oceans is still often a surprise to environmental experts. Globally, 90% of large fish are already gone (Festa, Regas, & Boomhower, 2008). As the fishing stocks slowly disappear, commercial fisheries are starting to use bigger boats so they can go out farther and fish deeper to find new fish to support the populations appetite. As these fisheries target their particular species sustainable catching...
