The first manipulation tool directors use is peculiar camera angles and shots. In the movie North by Northwest‚ directed by Alfred Hitchcock‚ there is a miraculous establishing shot. This shot captured the entire landscape for miles and miles. This accurately set the tone for the scene and gave you an idea of how the actor felt

figure out the truth‚ each story must be carefully analyzed and the similarities from each story must be pulled and put together. Base on the idea of those stories‚ one of that can be taken as fact and other is a fiction. In reality we tend to take our own personal ideas and beliefs.

While delineating the scene of the crime‚ Nick interjects that he “firmly [believes]” that Gatsby’s servants “knew [about the bodies] by then.” Fitzgerald‚ in turn‚ assures that it is clear exactly whose life The Great Gatsby depicts. On the other hand‚ Wilson clearly narrates the 1974 death scene through
