Have you ever realized that its the little things in life that make us happy? But, have you ever noticed how each of us is remembered for the little things we do in life? Like holding open the door for the person behind you, smiling at someone as you pass them on the street and in this case, taking detail into consideration. We live in an increasingly image conscious world, where looks and the way we dress make as much difference as our ability, and trying to really define yourself is really hard. Hands down, the well dressed male is now a universal phenomenon. So of course it is down to that individual to decide just how he will make his outfit stand out. The most effective way that I think you can separate yourself from the crowd is by paying attention to detail – the things that we think about, but never really think about. The finishing touches that complete…
When you read a book with a tragic end you think it ends with a sad ending right? Well that’s not quite right. Even though books and movies may end in tragedy it still has a happy ending to it. The book Fences is a prim example of how tragic ends in a happy ending. Rose in this case has moral reconciliation. She learns how to move on, forgive and see things different.…

One of the three directors craft techniques that have been demonstrated in Coach Carter is costume. Costume can be used to show a characters personality, show what kind of environment they are in, or make them stand out against everyone else. A good example of this directors craft technique is when Coach Carter is dropping his son, Damian, off at St Frances for school.

It also makes them think that Damian is a very intelligent student that can go very far after he has finished his schooling. Costume is one the directors craft techniques that Thomas Carter has demonstrated in Coach Carter as well as camera angles.…
