Special Effects
.... a German film about the vampire
with the same name was a huge success even in America, where thousands marveled
at the intricate detailing of the blood-sucker's razor-like teeth, bulging eyes
and a pointed nose and ears. "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" used a
somewhat new technique of a body suit that the actor wore along with a mask made
of latex rubber and foam. Using cooking oil or butter spread on the body and
mask gave an enhancement of sliminess added to the monster image. A fairly
recent film using heavy make-up effects is "An American Werewolf in London" done
by the master make-up artist Rick Baker who show .....

.... with him. Their verdict is now a solid not
guilty.
Arriving at a unanimous not guilty verdict does not come easily. The jury
encounters many difficulties in learning to communicate and deal with each other.
What seems to be a decisive guilty verdict as deliberations begin slowly
becomes a questionable not sure. Although the movie deals with issues relating
to the process of effective communication this paper will focus of two reasons
why they encounter difficulties and how they overcome them. First, we will apply
the Johari grid theory and see how it applies to their situation. Then, we will
see how each individual's fra .....

Review Of Three Movies: Trainspotting, Ferris Bueller's Day Off And Jurassic Park
.... subject matter is raw and raunchy, including AIDS, overdoses
and violence as well as obscene situations described in unprintable language.
This is a film that makes you laugh of things that can in no way be described as
funny. How is this possible? In the film's signature scene, where Renton, in
search of some lost opium suppositories, dives head-first into "the filthiest
toilet in Scotland" and emerges in a sublime and spacious undersea world. And
despite Renton's celebrated saying on the pleasures of heroin, boasting, "Take
the best orgasm you ever had, multiply it by a thousand and you're still nowhere

focused by small pairs of clamps used to disable his ability to blink. This,

The Advantage Of Commercials

alone, in a setting, or in use. Finally, unlike any other advertising vehicle,
TV can portray the object in motion while the other forms of media cannot.
TV is believable mostly because of the old of "seeing is believing" an
that is what TV does. Commercials have an unbelievable capacity to induce
belief because of this old saying. The other major print that make TV
commercial believable is that the actors make the commercials and A or the A+.
What is meant by this is that when and actor uses a product on TV and has a
satisfying look on his or her face, that's implying that the product is doing
it's job effectively. A .....

Analysis Of The Final Scenes Of Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious
.... to the table, includes it in every shot possible, and shows
us not only the full coffee cup, but the empty cup as well after Alicia has
drank it. Again, the cup is zoomed in on after Alicia realizes she's being
poisoned. Because the coffee is poisoned, the coffee itself becomes a metaphor
for life and death, supported by the fact that the poisoner herself ours it,
and the shots of the full and empty teacup. In this way, it also suggests
Alicia's inability to escape her situation—whenever she drinks the coffee, she
becomes trapped due to the poison in her cup—and the poison in her sham of a
marriage..

Animal Farm: Comparison Between Book And Movie

way in front when Old Major gave his speech. There was also gloomy music when
they had scenes of him. When the book showed of Napoleon as a bad guy, I was
surprised but I expected it in the movie because the movie showed him as a bad
person from the beginning.
Another detail that the movie missed was when all the animals could talk.
In the movie not all the animals could talk. This eliminated many important
things. Beasts of England was hummed when the animals sang it. When they could
talk, the words represented the hate they felt for the humans and the injustice
they felt was done to them. This is important beca .....

disciplined under fire, the Fifty-fourth leads the almost suicidal attack on Ft.
Wagner. There Col. Shaw valiantly falls and the Fifty-fourth, suffering great
losses, displayed the courage that persuaded the Union to enlist many more black
soldiers.
Matthew Broderick delivers a noteworthy performance in the role of Col.
Shaw, which Leonard Maltin calls his most ambitious part. In an interview for
the New York Times, Broderick spoke of his method acting,
"The first step [in preparing for the role of Robert Gould Shaw in Glory]

In 1970, "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood" was born. Mr. Fred Roger's used
puppets and music to teach patience and cooperation, while providing guidance

Beware Of Television

down when it is difficult or enthralling. He can put down the book for a few
moments and cope with his emotions without fear of losing anything.
Unlike reading, the pace of the television experience cannot be
controlled by the viewer; he cannot slow down a delightful program or speed up a
dreary one. The images move too quickly. He cannot use his own imagination to
invest the people and events portrayed on the screen with the personal meanings
that would help him understand and resolve relationships and conflicts in his
own life; he is under the power of the show creators' imagination. He becomes a
passive consumer of t .....

considerable calculation and effort. In Birth of a nation Griffith places
symbols everywhere, in doing this he merges literary devices of written works
with his own visual works. For instance, the parched corn symbol in the scene
where the southern army is eating symbolizes their desperation in the face of
defeat. This imagery proves that Griffith wasn't just presenting actors and a
plot, he intended to dig far deeper than that, into the realm of a clever
storyteller.
Another example of his unique style is the use of foreshadowing, another
literary device now commonly employed in film. The most prominent example of
this .....
