Matinee Narrative
But what if when Titania opened her eyes the first being she laid eyes on was a prince who had lost himself in this humongous universe? Just kidding, of course. With a cast that includes Ashley Laracey as Hermia, Brittany Pollack as Helena and Ashly Isaacs as Hippolita, I would happily have attended tonight’s performance if I had the appropriate ticket.

I did have a ticket for the matinee, but after last evening’s utterly sublime performance of the divertissement there was no way I could bring myself to go to the theater.

    Storytelling is more important to me than anything else, and I believe film is one of the most rewarding and honest forms of storytelling. Ever since I was a little kid I have been in love with movies. When I was nine I got a camcorder for Christmas, and I would make my friends help me remake scenes from my favorite movies, and when they said the lines wrong I would yell at them and make them do it over and over until they got it right or got so annoyed with me that they went home.…

    The Classical Hollywood Narrative Style is the most commonly used technique in film creation. The term was coined by David Bordwell, Janet Staiger and Kristin Thompson in their study of Hollywood films between the years of 1917 to 1960. A film in this style would follow a set of rules which are unwritten but commonly accepted amongst film makers. This type of film is structured narratively with a clearly defined conflict which is introduced early in the movie, a problem arises and the characters are forced to work through it, and in the end the problem is resolved. In terms of realism and formalism the Classical Hollywood Narrative Style falls somewhere directly in the middle. Although the film is filmed in a controlled environment where the director is in control of what happens, the object of the film is to create an environment that resembles the real world and is believable by the viewer. Both Mise-en-scene and editing have their place and are crucial to the Classical Hollywood Narrative Style of filmmaking. Editing is important to keep the movie flowing by making the edit invisible, and make sure the viewer understands what the director is trying to portray. The editing takes place either on a glance or to follow the action. The Mise-en-scene of a scene in this style includes everything that is in the scene and is vital in keeping the movie believable. Part of this is that fact that character rarely look directly into the camera or address the audience. Also the set or background of the film must hold up the believability of the film. The narrative of the film is illustrated by the actor's reactions which are caught on screen.…

    Tyres of a taxi she arrived in screeched violently as it skidded to a halt. She did not pay any attention to infuriated driver, forced to stop abruptly, as she jumped out of a pulling over car. She was surrounded instantly by unbearable yelling of flashing emergency units approaching from all directions. Hot blaze that stopped her from going any further left her paralyzed with the sight of what was left over from her block of flats. All she could feel was numbness taking over her body that filled her arms and knees with concrete and by terror pinned her to the ground. Helplessly watched, battling with a blaze fire fighters. Street was unrecognizable, littered with debris of what once were life possessions of her neighbourhood. Closing stinging from smoke eyes, buried her hands in remains of interiors she could recognize and howled, listening to pledging for help cries, she could hear in a distance.…

    I sit down in my comfy red seat at Academy of Theatre Arts in Williamsville, NY. I look around and see that the house is full. Not one seat was empty. In those seats I see people of all ages with happy, excited expressions on their faces. This got me very excited for the show that was about to be presented for me. I am very anxious for the show to start and suddenly the lights dim, the overture music begins and the curtain opens……

    During the 1800's there was an increase in immigration to the Great Plains due to an abundance of free land offered by the Homestead Act. Many individuals and families went west to seek their fortune and a home on what was once called the great American desert. Moving westward was a difficult process, and many were forced to leave their old lives behind completely. In "A Wagner Matinee," written by Willa Cather, the characterization of Aunt Georgiana, a woman who leaves Boston to elope with a young man going west, is used to illustrate the theme; that sometimes decisions need to be made, and although one might regret it, one love must be sacrificed for another.…

    Chapter Four: A Movie Related to Education When people talk about great teachers, they often reference some historically famous teachers such as Aristotle, Anne Sullivan, Maria Montessori, William McGuffey, Emma Willard, and Jaime Escalante (McGasko 2013). After watching the 2003 film, School of Rock, I consider the case of Dewey Finn, a substitute teacher played by the incomparable comedic actor, Jack Black. Dewey starts off the story with an obsession of putting together a formidable rock band that could win the “Battle of the Bands”. After being thrown out of his own band, No Vacancy, for his on-stage antics as bad band member and selfish communicator, he steals his roommate, Ned Schneebly’s name and identity and takes on a job as a substitute…

    The summer before my senior year was going to be the best one yet. Lying out in the hot summer air, going out with friends till one in the morning, sleepovers all week long, summer was going to be amazing! Not long into my summer vacation my mom had brought up the subject of us moving once again. It hadn’t really surprised me that she was bringing it up because I vividly remember her talking about it earlier in the year. She had been wanting to move for quite some time, always saying how nice it would be to get out of the city and into more of a country setting, perhaps to where my grandparents lived and some of my other close family. She spent the better part of the day discussing it with my brothers and me, and wanted to get our insight on the matter. Of course I didn’t want to, I didn’t want to leave my…

    The damp, dirty air made breathing difficult and unbearable in the constricted, small box that I had been forced into time and time again. The only light that filtered into the dark trailer came from a tiny square window that allowed for a limited, but relieving, amount of fresh, clean air. I had finally become accustomed to this type of jerking transportation that did not allow for comfortable rest, but I heard the screech of the trailer as the brakes were slammed on, and soon after, the trailer was being opened, and I became ecstatic with the thought of sunshine and open space awaiting me outside. The blinding light pierced my eyes as I was slowly led toward a crowd of people cheering and chanting my name. The crowd of people swallowed me up as they all began to gather around me, cameras flashing from every side of me and yells coming from every direction I seemed to turn.…

I wanted to do something exciting, extreme - something I never would have imagined doing before – something that would take a lot of heart to do. Maybe even could be called a little crazy as others told me. Skydiving was something I had never done and certainly had never thought of doing until now.…
