Short Film Alike: Video Analysis
In the short film, “Alike,” I think that the author is trying to portray that society is killing people's individuality and creativity. Throughout the beginning of the video, the author demonstrates what life is like through conformity. The author then goes on to show how important music and arts really is.

At the start of the video, the author shows how society is killing children's creativity and individuality. The father ignores his son's interests and the teacher doesn’t encourage his creativeness. We should reform our education system and implement more creative classes so that students have an easier time achieving their dreams. Students should be able to find out their passion at an early age. All in all, limiting people's goals will

    Every movie and TV show is different but they all share one thing in common, cinematography. Cinematography is how something is shot. Within cinematography are three categories; photographic aspects, framing, and duration. Photographic aspects are the concrete decisions that deal with specifics of the photographic elements; contrast, the difference between black and white and light and dark; exposure, the amount of light per unit area; and tonality, the amount of contrast there is. Framing is what defines the image which include angles, levels, and height. Duration is the period of time that a production lasts for. I could go in depth about all these terms but that is not what this paper is about.…

    “Besides making judgments about space, a viewer projects a stream of hypotheses about such factors as time, causality, character personality and motive, the efficacy of action, exposition, enigmas, plausibility, ethics, metaphors, rhythm, point of view, and much more. In general, a viewer comes to understand scenes by making detailed models of events. What might be termed the “classical” camera stands in for those procedures that have been successful in the past. When a viewer’s confidence in his or her predictions is high (i.e. the viewer’s constructed, mental models are well developed and reasonably supported by evidence), the film achieves a high degree of “reality...” (Branigan, 2013)…

    Dr. Gerson lamented that the AMA was on a back stabbing mission to discredit him for his success with “terminal” cancer patients. He referred to his clinic as a would be “death house” if he’d not learned how to treat those who came to him as a last resort. Some arrived on stretchers, as they could not stand on their own 2 feet. Nor could they eat. He referred the practice that grew out of necessity as “very, very difficult”, one that forced him to develop and implement survival treatments for the gravely ill souls who appeared at his door step. If ever there was a healer of heroic significance, it was Dr. Max Gerson.…

    Anderson draws from her own experience, and discusses how children aren’t granted enough options to explore their creativity, and don’t do well in some areas of school simply because their talents and interests don’t lie in those areas. Learning isn’t about learning anymore, it’s about passing the class. Anderson claims “students learn to rely on marks and seek approval from teachers to know if what they have produced is acceptable.” Evaluating students limits their creativity and…

    In the movie “Bernie”, we follow the story and between a Carthage, Texas funeral director Bernie Tiede, and his co-dependent relationship with a wealthy widow, Marjorie Nugent. As “Bernie” unfolds, we see the companionship turn for the worse as Ms. Nugent’s ill-temper causes Bernie to snap – and lands her dead in her freezer. This movie brings up some questions, specifically regarding image. After analysis, the question I keep coming back to is “Was Bernie genuine and sincere? Or was it all a façade?” Although Bernie committed a horrible crime, I believe the answer to this question is “yes”- Bernie was a genuine man.…

    Coming from a country where poverty and less opportunity are the present every day I saw in a lot of kids and youths with talents and aspirations for their lives and their future, and these aspirations could disappear when time goes by and they can’t be reached. We in our country don’t have the support to develop our talents and came true our dreams or goals for our future. Most of the time we are like stars in the sky that can bright, because there is no a chance to show that we can.…

    For my creative media project, I put together a short music video. I decided to make a music video because I felt is was significant to a problem in todays society. Today, popular culture, such as today’s hits music, has a negative impact on women and young girls. For example, in a lot of songs with a male artist, the male will degrade women. With that said, one may turn on the radio, or television, and hear a song about how the male artist is so wealthy that he can sleep around with any girl that he would like. In the music video of the same song, one may see a women, wearing little or no clothing, dancing seductively on the artist. This is very alarming to our youth of girls. Because of the lyrics and music videos, young girls will look up…

    Some of the commonalities I identified in the video by these 12-year-old kids were: They were being stereotyped based on their skin color, neighborhood they lived in, and their religion affiliation. There were several points in the video that had an impact on me. The first one was at (1:42), when the little boy discussed what it feel like to be biracial-“He have to prove to his friends that he is black.” I found this comment to be sad. I do not think a child should have to spend their time worrying about these things. They should be focused on their schoolwork and playtime with their friends and family.…

    One of the authors that talk about this is S.I Hayakawa. His main point in his article is how he stressed to tell us to be more creative, and that we shouldn’t blindly follow what media outlets like the ones on TV because we’re becoming like sheep. He argues that one with creativity best be prepared to endure loneliness and ridicule. He says, and this is very correct, that because of what we see on things like the media, we’re just told to follow what they say is right, and because of that, if one person dares to exclaim otherwise, then he or he will be getting cast away from other people. It’s ok to have a different opinion of things, and he encourages it, because creative people are going to be the most successful in life.…

    One aspect of Laramie that strikes me is how peaceful, and free the town is, for example one of the characters states, “But you’d have to be out of your mind to let your kids out after dark. And here, in the summertime, my kids play out at night till eleven, and I don’t think twice about it” (Kaufman 7). This text portrays Laramie’s peacefulness, because here the character explains how he does not “think twice” about letting his kids play outside in the dark. One moment that I find interesting about Laramie is how one of the character tells his story about his desire to go to college for theatre, and his parents could not afford the tuition, so the boy signs up for a scholarship, and wins, but his parents did not support him throughout his significant experience. Another aspect that is interesting to me is how the play is written as a documentary that you would see on television, but in written form. So far, my early impression of the play is that it is overwhelming, due to Kaufman’s writing style. I am not enjoying how there are so many characters that share their stories, and experiences towards that town because all of the encounters are overwhelming, as well as the numerous amount of characters.…
