They lived in two different areas of the world and their habits were different. The reason why they became extinct are two different stories. There are differences between the Dodos and Passenger Pigeons such as are how they became extinct, in their body size, and where they lived.…
The only sound playing is the rapid flapping of the soft black feathers. It feels as though it will never cease. All that is shown is a black, shiny wall of furious birds. It traps viewers and develops a feeling of helplessness. They feel as though they are suffocating from torn feathers cluttering their airways even though their rational side tells them none of it’s real. This is what audience members of the movie, “The Birds”, reported feeling during the immersive experience. Some felt so claustrophobic that they had panic attacks. Cinema: the art of tapping in to an audience’s deepest emotions and using it to provoke a specific sensation. Few are able to master this fine art, however, “The Birds” by Hitchcock is a perfect example of a…
After watching Rosemary’s Baby, I still don’t prefer horror though I would say it is interesting enough in other aspects. I like the mise-en-scène in this film. For instance, the dreamlike scene of Rosemary being raped. Although I, as an audience, am absolutely positive that it was really happening, all the elements in the shot i.e. the mattress floating on the sea did create a dizzy feeling that, I believe, Rosemary would be confused and convinced that “raped by a monster” is only a dream. After all, she is such a naïve young woman! Also, I like the background music played sometimes at the scene of the Woodhouses’ apartment. It was a simple piece played by piano, always appears during the daytime, while Rosemary is alone at home and Mrs. Castevet comes to visit her. This music is not related to horror nor the emotions of characters, but it gives a natural feeling to me, imagine there was someone in the neighborhood playing the piano, always the same piece, quite a simple one, probably a child… as if it was just a usual apartment…

Even so, you can hear the bird imitating the other members of the family as well.…

Have you ever noticed how many dogs look, sound, and even act differently? Their differences are called adaptations. There can be physical or even behavioral. When a species looks different, like the dogs mentioned above, this is called a niche. Animals seem to adapt in different ways, but we must remember adaptations take years.…

One human may look at the color of any given object and simply be able to bring back the factual description when asked upon from another after that object is away from them. The first steps to memorization for any individual is to make a choice, whether they want to memorize something or not and for what reasons they will do so. This might be simple memorization to all capable or possibly just for a few selected individuals. The key to memorization could begin with all making a relation to an object, not only for description but for understanding any given material, whether a car, movie, or even a conversation between two people which is what I have…
Lack of speech, lack of music at first, when Norman Bates walks in the camera focuses on the shadow behind the shower curtain and the music starts when Bates is revealed behind the curtain with a knife. The music starts (same sound as a curtain reel moving that screechy sound), when Marion Crane starts screaming it zooms in on her face. The camera flicks between the two characters showing that there is a struggle. Camera doesn’t show Bates’ face as it’s supposed to be a surprise as to who is the murderer. When Bates finally starts to stab Crane it flicks between him plunging the knife and her reaction and then including close ups of her body to show where she is being stabbed. The camera also moves between the two characters more to show how…
