Karenya Garrett: The Voyagers by Penny Lane
Visually, the short documentary was different in the sense of how the footage was solely based on historical footage. Some documentaries I see would use a few pieces of footage from the past and then jump to the present, the now. But this documentary is just that "past" footage. The calmness and slow pacing of the narration ties the story together. If there was not any narration, I feel as though this documentary would just be plain and that it would be seen as a regular space documentary film. The monotone of the narration keeps its pace for the documentary, if it had any animation to it, the documentary wouldn't have the story that Lane is trying to portray. Each shot throughout the film was piece

They seemed to have gotten as much information as possible and put it together in away that would make the most emotional impact on the audience. There wasn’t really a timeline or plot; it was difficult to find exactly what the director wanted to say. They switched between Tilikum’s story and the different stories of attacks. The documentary had trouble staying consistent.
I also selected the Vogels for my discussion for the same reasons you listed. It was quite inspirational to read about the amount of quality of art the couple were able to collect with a limited budget. Additionally, I also felt that by not worrying about the prestige of the artist, they were inadvertently able to expose those unknown artists to a wider
Throughout the 18th, 19th, and 20th century; it had been duly noted that women are not seen to have some of the many jobs that allowed for tons of traveling or gaining a good education. However, through a course of sheer talent and opportunity there are a lucky few women in history who left their mark for the rest of the future generations to lay witness to. Of course, even to this day these talented women continue to amaze us with what they were able to accomplish in such an era that they existed. One of those amazing women who continued to show all those around her that just by having a large interest in historic buildings and cultures; along with tons of friends and connections you can accomplish something
Reaching the Top “Last year, there were 1,926 homeless students enrolled in public school,.. ”(Goldberg N.P.). In the United States, many homeless children skip school and lose hope about improving their life. One of those children decided to change their life and that person was called Liz Murray. Liz Murray and her older sister, Lisa, were children of two drug addicts.
One way I carefully studied this piece was I saw it as the wife saying that even if she is floating, her husband does not pay attention to her and just wants things that he wants before herself. In the story, she said, "... and I floated up, I held my knees in my arms and floated across as if I was sitting on a rug." In her mind, she could do anything imaginable, like floating, and her husband would still not admit/recognize/respond to what she had been doing. Sooner or later she'll want to fly off, just like me, only outside..." I believe what she is saying by this was that she had liked and respected that baby that even though it was raw from the cold, had to change her diaper and even the baby's little under shirt, and had pale baby skin but can float wherever it wanted. Possibly the wife thought of it as being her fault and that is why she does not want to believe that her baby has died.
The cinematography is by Bert Glennon. The expectations for this film is that it has to be western because it’s the genre. The movie needs to have action and movement. And have a heroic character. The expectations are high since a lot of people watch Western genre. I don’t see any manipulation of space and time.
This article introduces historical accounts and analysis of programs for incarcerated mothers and their children in the United States (Susan C. Craig, 2009).
Belonging to a certain group is a natural experience in the lives of individuals. Groups are categorizable by a variety of options but often expel a trait that epitomizes each individual within the group such as rank, societal merit, or simply just appearance. Behaviorism gratifies purpose within cohort mentality among those in an association due to the psychological commonalities that bring these groups together. When it comes to an individual's development within a certain group, joint mentality helps create a safe environment but often times supports ideologies of self empowerment. Anthropologist Karen Ho composes the analysis of students whom graduate Ivy League universities and enter into financial professions, in her essay “Biographies
In the presentation by Evelyn Nakano Glenn, Glenn’s main idea was on how colonial settler legacies have created a line of segregation on race and gender which determines U.S. Citizenship. Evelyn Nakano Glenn is a professor at the University of California, Berkeley and is well educated in her studies of gender and women studies. Glenn used points from Joan Acker, a mentor to her, who is a feminist sociologist. The lecture circulated the topic of race and gender operating as central citizenship of America because it creates exclusion of groups. The founding fathers excluded many people such as African Americans, Women, Asians, Latinos, and American Indians. They used citizenship and rights as a gift to races. Citizenship was always contradicted
The late 60’s and early 70’s were a time where African Americans held legal rights mostly equal to those of whites but faced major challenges in many aspects of life. Gloria Naylor’s short story “Kiswana Browne” seamlessly intertwines the author’s experiences, showcases the frustration of a mid to late 20’s African American woman and the conflict between her and her mother’s ideology. The differences in attitude between Kiswana and Mrs. Browne are widely due to the differences in the treatment of African Americans in Mrs. Browne’s young adulthood as opposed what her daughter is currently experiencing. Mrs. Browne’s struggles in the early part of her life were to secure the legal rights of
The use of the scrolling story in space sets up many audience expectations, that the action will be set in space, and that it will base around a struggle between the rebels and the Empire. Narration is a fairly formal method of exposition, linked to
In the first five minutes of the documentary Camera angles were used effectively. A way they made it effective was by using a close up shot of the ice screw slowly going into ice this makes it seem important because there is such a focus on it. They also made the mountains look big and treacherous by using lots of different camera angles like low angle, bird’s eye view and extreme long shot, by using these angles it also makes you feel insignificant. Worm’s eye view was used a lot to make the climber seem strong and powerful on steep ice, it was also used to show how far they had to climb. Zoom out and pan was used to show the scale of the mountains and landscape. In the documentary a time laps is used to show something happening fast. At one point you could see the back of people and donkey to show them walking towards the mountains and walking away from civilisation. The interview with Joe is close up this make us feel he is important, is telling the truth, nowhere for him to hide and he can’t escape the eye of the camera. The interview with Simon is further away to show he is not as important as Joe. Richards’s interview is even further away to make him look even less important.
In the first place, it has the wind-blown look of a film shot from actualities, with the camera providentially on the scene. The stringent necessity for economy compelled the producers to make a film that has all the appearance and flavor of a straight documentary.
