Composers use distinctively visual images to convey distinctive experiences within our lives, such as feelings we have felt, places we have been and images we have seen. This then helps emphasise the different purposes distinctively visual images can create. We are shown this in the TV series directed by Debbie Cox, Seachange, episode Manna from Heaven which is about Lady named Laura and her kids (Miranda and Rupert) moving from the big city to Pearl Bay and Playing with Fire is about is about the heat causing weird attraction across the town and defining relationships and by viewing and analysing the film ‘Edward Scissorhands’ directed by Tim Burton, this film is about a man with scissorhands made by a mad scientist who had died which defends for himself and a lady visits and takes him in. It is evident that the composers of these texts allow the audience to see distinctive experiences with our eyes as well as with our minds through distinctively visual.…
In this analysis paper, I will be looking at the animated film “The Cameraman’s Revenge” by Ladislaw Starewicz. While the majority of animators during and before his time worked on two dimensional animated films, Starewicz stepped off the beaten path and instead chose to implement his taxidermied insects in his animations; that alone made this film unique and fascinating for me to watch. Watching the film was a surreal experience with my knowledge of how innovative this form of animation was for its time, as well as how real it surely looked to audiences back then.…
In the chapter Sweetheart of Song Tra Bong in the fictional novel The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien, Mary Anne Bell is a prime example of a dynamic character. Mary Anne was an attractive girl, seventeen years old, from Cleveland Heights Senior High. She had a bubbly and girly personality. Her boyfriend, Mark Fossie, got the idea to fly his girlfriend out to his assigned medical outpost in Vietnam. The outpost was near the village of Tra Bong, up in the mountains west of Chu Lai. It was a fun place to be during the war because you only had to tend to the victims and after that you can do as you wish. The outpost has also a base of operations for a squad of six Green Berets aka Greenies. This would all seem like a safe place to protect an innocent girl from war but one way or another you get a taste of it just as Mary Anne did. War has a way of changing people.…
In this reading, Lisa Cartwright explores the first rotoscope animation created by the Fleischer brothers and the significance behind their labor-intensive discovery. Lisa Cartwright argues that the many bodies behind the scenes of animated features have just as much significance as the body behind the rotoscope because of Sigmund Freud’s studies on manifest destiny and the masochistic desire from labor. I find this article too wordy and repetitive to effectively get the thesis across.…

The Red Wolves of North Carolina are the last of their species. There are approximately forty Red Wolves left and they’re all live in the Albermarle Penninsula in North Carolina. Red wolves are on average, five feet long from nose to tail. They’re larger than the coyotes, only averaging three feet from nose to tail. The red wolves, coyotes, and eastern wolf are all from the original “Ancient Wolf”. Since the beginning of wolves, they have been cross breeding to create hybrids. Over time, the ancient wolf evolved into three separate species of wolves. The coyotes have taken over in population and management for controlling the offspring has been bad for years now. In 2012 is when management switched in the Fish and Wildlife organization and…
The puppetry in this production was handled expertly and all the models were splendidly manipulated by the extremely talented puppeteers from the Handspring Puppet Company. The puppeteers were in control of their movements and the sounds that the animals made. The puppeteers controlled the horses with such careful detail that aside from walking, running and neighing, their chests would rise and fall with their breathing, their heads would turn inquisitively and their ears would prick with sound. I believe these qualities were executed with…

The third cinematic technique directors can use to set a particular tone for a scene is camera angles. For example, high angle is a camera that is above the subject which makes them look small, creating a tone that the audience is larger. Although, low angle is a camera that films from below the subject which makes them look bigger than usual, making the tone that the audience is smaller. Tim Burton applies high angle to set the tone that the audience is the giant looking down at something small. For example, in the film “Edward Scissorhands,” Burton uses high angle when Peg’s son was up in the tree house looking down at Edward. The high angle was looking from Peg’s son view, which was high up in the tree house. Looking down at Edward,…

The American Dream is known as a life of personal happiness and material comfort as traditionally sought by individuals in the United States. It’s the overall thought that one can self invent themself, being able to construct their own life by starting over and setting the past aside. In today’s society, the American Dream is categorized as either being something that is attainable or unattainable, but the three sources that I have chosen being Jay Gatsby from The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Richard Cory from Richard Cory by Edwin Arlington Robinson, and Walter Mitty from The Secret life of Walter Mitty by James Thurber, all explain how the American Dream is unattainable. Although satisfaction is never permanent…
3. Fallow’s gives a good description of physical movement in paragraphs 9 through 14. Yet I think it is essential to enact the idea of the kinetic chain with ones own body rather than just hear of it. Fallow’s anatomically detailed account comparent to George Orwell’s description of the dying elephant is similar while Fallow’s is definetly less complex in his wording and…

Animated effects were used to show different animals that the processing is done to, and also the list of stores that sells products from certain companies such as TYSON. Zooming…
