“Marvel Studios delivers the ultimate comic-book film “The Avengers”, which ties together such characters as Iron Man which was played by Robert Downey Jr., Captain America who was played by Chris Evans, The Hulk played by Mark Ruffalo, and Thor who was played by Chris Hemsworth for a big-screen franchise team-up like no other. Taking center stage this time is Nick Fury played once again by the note-perfect Samuel L. Jackson, leader of the peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D. Fury, along with former Russian spy Black Widow played by Scarlett Johansson, recruits a super team to combat Thor 's ever-deceptive brother Loki which was played by Tom Hiddleston after he brainwashes ace archer Hawkeye played by Jeremy Renner while stealing a cosmic cube from an underground base. Thus the heroes must learn to work together alongside outlaw scientist Bruce Banner also known as “The Hulk” as I stated before was played by Mark Ruffalo, who can track down the artifact 's gamma signals when he 's not hulking out into a giant green monster” (“Marvel’s the avengers”, 2013).
The Director of the movie Marvel’s “The Avengers” is Joss Whedon in which has been involved in other television shows such as” Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Firefly”. As the director, Joss Whedon was the driving creative force in this film’s production, and acts as the crucial link between the production, technical, and creative teams. Joss Whedon is responsible for creatively translating the film’s written script into actual images and sounds on the screen he must visualize and define the style and structure of the film, then act as both a storyteller and team leader to bring this vision to reality. Whedon’s main duties include casting, script editing, shot compostition, shot selection and editing (“Creative skill set”, 2013). This was the director’s overall role in the design process for this movie.

    The year was 1992. A small team of animators were soon to present to the world an innovation that would forever change the realm of cinema. Until this point, special effects artists were mostly limited to methods of stop-motion animation and practical effects to create fantastical displays within a film. That was until ground-breaking director Stephen Spielberg, who is most famous for his work in classic films such as E.T. and Jaws, made a single decision that would influence film-making to this day. It was the decision to utilize computer graphics in the iconic production, Jurassic Park. Filmmakers had used computer graphics previously but for CGI to break through, technology needed to be advanced…

    Tokyo Police Club’s new album Champ is pretty damn adorable. I put it on in the car during a rare burst of winter sunlight a few weeks ago and for a few seconds I actually believed it was summer. This is the Ontario band’s second full length album, following Elephant Shell in 2008. Lead singer David Monks is only 23 but has produced an incredibly nostalgic album where he describes moments as if they were a lifetime ago, not a few years.…

    The superhero, Iron Man, once said, “If we can 't protect the Earth, you can be damn sure we 'll avenge it” (The Avengers). The Marvel movie, The Avengers, came out in 2012, which depicts a group of six mighty heroes who were brought together to fight a common threat, and they called themselves, The Avengers. In The Avengers the main characters and many scenes deliver different ideas of American identity and the American experience. Captain America sets the foundations when it comes to the view on patriotism, American history, and unity; Tony Stark practically single handedly changed modern technology, and because The Avengers group…

    I started putting in a lot of thought about my future career ever since I got into high school. The choices were computer engineering, a music producer, and a fashion designer. However, as time progressed, I realized that they were rather hobbies which I would eventually lose interest in rather than something that I truly wanted to pursue. During my junior year, I was assigned as a film editor for a project. At first, it took me an extensive amount of time to figure out all the editing software because I was not familiar with the key commands and effects, but as I played around with it, I quickly overcame most of the obstacles and achieved what others desired in each project.…
