    For example, in the popular movie by Tim Burton,”Big Fish”, it contained two scenes with a dramatic difference. That difference was the lighting. The first scene that was played showed the spectrum with beautiful grass and polished buildings, the mood was obviously exciting and cheery. The lightning showed me that since the scene was very bright. However, the second scene which showed Edward walking back to the spectrum and him being surprised for the reason that the grass was dead and the once architecturally detailed buildings were now at their ends. The lighting (dark) had an extra effect of making the scene sorrowful. In another case, Edward Bloom’s room was very dark and encouraged how Edward could be many seconds away from dieing. Lastly, the movie, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, when all the kids and parents continued walking in the factory, following Willie, I noticed the lighting slowly get brighter while they walked into the room with the chocolate river, which made me feel less stressed since the kids were about to have great entertainment in that…

    Think about a scene from a film, television show or theatrical performance that you’ve seen. Describe the scene, including what is happening in the plot during this particular scene. How is the scene lighted? What effect does the lighting design have on the scene? Would you do anything differently in terms of lighting if you were designing the scene? – A scene from the show “Breaking Bad” in the scene, the main characters are in an Indian reservation in a shootout with a couple gangsters, the scene uses darker but at the same time lighter colors to represent that there will be danger coming soon.

    The change of lighting can change the emotions of a movie. Tim Burton changes the lighting to gives you a different mood about the scene. In Edward Scissorhands when Peg went in the castle and saw Edward there was low key lighting. He wanted the audience to feel bad for Edward as he was alone and an outsider. Also in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, there was high key lighting as the contests entered the factory. The contests were happy and excited to enter in the chocolate factory.…

    For example, when Peg first walked into the mansion where Edward had been living, low key lighting was used; thus exaggerating the shadows and making the scene appear hostile and eerie. In doing so, Burton sets a suspenseful mood that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. On the contrary, in the previous scene when Peg strolled around admiring the shuberry in the garden surrounding the house, high key lighting is used. In effect, the scene appeared bright and colorful, which therefore set a lighthearted mood. By doing this, Burton made clear the difference in lighting; had he not used high key lighting in the first scene, the low key lighting in the mansion would not have been as different from the lighting in the previous scene and thus less prominent. This manipulation made the mood set up by each lighting more prominent as well. The cheerful, bright mood in the first scene greatly contrasted from the dark, suspenseful mood in the second, and as a result, both were made more prominent to the audience. Another example this technique was when front lighting was used in the scene where Edward and Kim were saying their last goodbye on the top floor of the inventor’s broken down mansion. Both characters were standing in front of a broken window, and as a result, cast on their faces was what appeared to be dim…

    For example, in the first image the visual focus came from the two men back in order to show their guns and the women in front of them. Second image, there was a closer shoot or “zoom in” at the family, in order to appear their afraid faces. Therefore, using the streetlights that were reflected on the family members’ faces without flash’s light was a clever idea. However, visual focus changed in last image and it was a little far from the previous images because the taker aimed to present children different interaction with…

    The seven deadly sins can be easily committed by anyone unknowingly. Ever since humans came on earth, they have been immoral, shiftless creatures trying to find the easiest way out. But for ages, mankind struggled to also find a solution to help our spiritual needs and guide it in the right path. Thus, the concept of the seven deadly sins arose: gluttony, lust, pride, wrath, sloth, jealousy, and greed. If one carries on with life without committing a deadly sin, while being good from the heart and not just from the mind and actions, he/she will avoid the eternal damnation of hell. The Canterbury Tales: The Prologue, by Geoffrey Chaucer, contains pilgrims going to Canterbury, in which some of these pilgrims commit deadly sins. In this prologue, the Wife of Bath is guilty of lust, Franklin is guilty of gluttony, and the Pardoner is guilty of greed.…

    Charles Darwin in his book, On the Origin of Species, presents us with a theory of natural selection. This theory is his attempt at an explanation on how the world and its species came to be the way that we know them now. Darwin writes on how through a process of millions of years, through the effects of man and the effects of nature, species have had a trial and error experiment ongoing. It is through these trials that the natural world has developed beneficial anomalies that at times seem too great to be the work of chance.…
