The Bluebird Video Analysis

Decent Essays
After analyzing both videos I found that the first presenter lacked emotions while reading the poem; as can be seen, she demonstrated a good eye contact while reading at a normal pace. However, near the end of the video she continuously looks down at her paper. Not to mention, the camera is only focused on her face; in that case, the audience cannot see the paper. Indeed, what gives her away is when she hesitated for a few seconds; that indicated she had lost track of where she was in the reading. Despite that, she played it off well by pulling back her hair and continuing where she left off. In contrast to the first presenter I found that the second presenter was more effective at conveying the ultimate theme of The Bluebird. On the contrary,

    Flight 93 may have been accurate movie based on the United States Government’s recollection, but there may be evidence that concludes otherwise. Flight 93 was not a very exaggerated movie, it is filled with raw emotions of those who had to say goodbye to their families. Most of the nitty gritty details were captured in their essence but some larger details were left out completely. The movie was a perfect replica of the US government’s press release of what happened during 9/11. Some large details however were non-existent in the movie.…

    In the video by Doug Dietz, we see a problem most people overlook being seen and fixed because of one thing: empathy. Doug showed empathy to the family that came to get an MRI scan in the Scanner he designed, so he was able to feel the anxiety and stress faced by the parents and the children. They are the ones the hospital would use the machine on. Hence it is their satisfaction that is important to him.

This was tested by darkening male Barn Swallow feathers with a marker and keeping track determining if they really indeed mate more then others.…

    The first and one of the most important concepts I’m going to link the MS13 video to is, ‘Population’. The book states that population is, a target group to be studied (Henslin 130). The MS13 population first started in Hollywood but has nearly spread around the whole world. MS13 consists of mostly immigrants from Central America, but they recruit anyone that is desperate for an opportunity to change their life. This happened because members of the gang were usually immigrants from El Salvador that came to the United States.…

    Jules Dassin's film Phaedra is a modern retelling of Euripides' Hippolytus that focuses on wealthy ship owners and their families, yet the film still incorporates some of the tragic elements of Euripides' play. As with the play, core of the film revolves around a stepmother falling love in with her stepson, yet the film presents several of its main characters with different characterizations than their Euripidean counterparts. These changes result in feelings of passion and jealousy amongst the characters that drives the conflict forward.

    I really enjoyed watching the video. The purpose of John Sinnett 's was that he wanted his students to see that he was engaged just as the students were. From the video, we can see that John is very passionate about his kindergarten students. During his lesson, he gets down on the carpet on the same level as his student to make them feel engaged. This is something that is very important because students are so to teachers telling what to do.…

    In the world of Andrew Niccol’s film Gattaca, tinkering with human genetics has become the norm in the search for perfection of body and mind. The practice has become so widespread that those conceived naturally suffer discrimination on the basis of their DNA which in turn creates a class divide between the two groups. In the film genetics, and the imperfection drawn from them is overcome by means of raw determination by the protagonist and these concepts are explored through a variety of cinematic techniques utilised by Niccol, notably those exclusive to the medium such as mise en scene, soundtrack and camera angles.

    The term alcoholism has been misused over the years as a vague, poorly understood and most often morally flavoured term. In various media outlets such as film, music and television, alcohol is often associated with success, physical attractiveness, romance, and sociability. Very often, the media sidesteps negative repercussions of substance abuse. This can influence individuals to have a stronger desire to drink as they have an attitude towards alcohol that is more favourable. As a result, alcoholism has been ranked as the most harmful drug compared to others (Nutt 2012).…

    The Yellow Birds Analysis

    The Yellow Birds certainly put things in perspective regarding war and gunfights even though it is a fictional book. It surely gives it credibility that Kevin Powers went to Iraq when he was enlisted so the firefights that were included may have been based off his experience. The thoughts of Bartle and Murph during the firefights gave the impression of what actual people might think during those adrenaline filled and horrifying moments. It allowed readers to relate to the thoughts of Bartle and Murph because they are the age of the audience and still show resistance to killing others. In that way, it also allows the audience to face the same realities as the main characters of The Yellow Birds.…

    The film, Crash, written and directed by Paul Haggis, tells the story of different people and the issues that they face regarding their race. The films main aspect was to look at racial profiling, as well as, the stereotypes that occur with every race. Throughout the movie there remains the constant issue of being able to trust people of different races and how they do not seem to be able to accomplish it. Throughout the movie, the audience constantly sees issues that these people face in their everyday lives. Although I have no experience with racial injustice, I find Crash to have successfully shown racism in the way that people prove to be excessive and insensitive to the subject matter.…

    In the production of this video, I hoped to encompass and highlight the quirky past and preservation of this iconic Route 66 roadside attraction. As a resident of Catoosa, I visited the Blue Whale numerous times, and I am very familiar with its history. Regardless, I still searched for websites that contained information or pictures that I could use in my video. Surprisingly, I learned things about the Whale that I had never known before, such as that it had been closed and abandoned for several years before being reopened and renovated. For resources, I used multiple websites that focused on the history of the Blue Whale.…

    The music video I decided to write about is from the artist Tove Lo and is titled Habits. In the lyrics she is talking about a breakup and how she needs to stay high to keep the guy she lost off her mind. In the video she states how the only way she can forget about him is by being “high all the time” in order to not think about him. Tove is revealing that the only way she can cope with the breakup is by using substances as her coping mechanism. I definitely think in this situation that losing her role as a girlfriend has enhanced her behavior to use marijuana as an attempt to manage.…
