As Long Island continues to be overcome by an appalling Heroin epidemic, with no indication of improvement on the issue in sight, there was no better time to display the significance of the issue through an IMovie. Additionally, this specific issue connected to myself and personal experiences in such a way that would make this movie and its sense of humor serious to portray.

The second event attended was watching the movie A Quiet Place. It is a horror/thriller movie where the monsters are blind and only track their prey using sound. The family in the movie has a deaf daughter and communicate with sign language to remain silent.

In this film, Hitchcock’s sequences represent the most abrupt and extreme usage of the technical means, including alternation, vertigo shot, and point of view shots that all pay off very well. The opening sequence, which has the chase and the fall, is among the most condensed and conceptual Hitchcock produced. The intellectuality is established within the first image on screen, where a metal bar is situated against an out of focus background that a hand suddenly grasps. The camera then dollies back

Storytelling has been the rope that ties all of the history and advancements of the written word together. From the oral tradition to logs in a chat room, our primary means of communication is in the form of a story. “Today I did this” or “Beowulf is strong”, these ideas are not far removed from each other, except through time.

While I’m still intrigued by his past and future exploits, I may be slightly less so now. “Arrival” follows Louise Banks (Amy Adams), a world-renowned linguist

Rear Window Through out the movie, film watchers only see what is going on though Mr. Jefferies’ view except for when Mr. Thorwald went over to confront Jefferies.
