My Koreauna Scene Analysis

Within discourse communities, different genres of writings perform specific tasks in communicating vital information to the different members. The variation between discourse communities forces these genres to evolve in order to communicate the information most efficiently. All types of genres share general characteristics but the variation in the expression of those characteristics is what helps tailor the proximity of the author to the audience. Proximity is the “writer’s control of rhetorical features which display both authority as an expert and a personal position towards issues in an unfolding text” (Hyland 117). Proximity is how the writer appeals to the reader. It involves different elements, such as organization or word choice, working

The director felt the role of music was extremely important. The soundtrack is able to add to the film, not just be part of the film. “The music’s place in the narrative construction of this film often serves to inform the viewer in ways that the image and dialogue do not.” (Leinberger 69). This relates similarly to the music written for plays that was discussed in class. Not only does this piece do a great job of including a wide variety of techniques to make the sounds, it also references older more traditional music stylings as well. The beating drums in this piece hint at Native American culture and the music that they played (Leinberger 71). Unique sounds were made using technology and created a cool dissonance with the happier whistle tune. The classic “wah-wah sound” is made by a male voice that has been altered to sound more metallic like a harmonica (Leinberger 71). The altered sound was created using the micro-cell technique which modifies the tone through technology. There are gunshots that are added as an extra sound within the piece. Varying sounds and textures are easily heard in the theme and would be a great additive in the

Korea’s geography greatly impacts how the people live. It affects where they live and how they live. In Korea, there are many mountains, such as Hallasan and Taebaeksan. These mountains came be home of terrace farming. This is where the crops are grown on the side of the mountain that has been partially flattened to where crops can grow on them. Not only does this affect the farming and food source, but it can also affect the population density. Where there are mountains, people can not build houses to live. The lack of space causes many people to live in cities such as Busan, Daegu, and Incheon, which all have over 2 million people living in each of the cities. This population density causes people to be very grouped up and live closer together,

He is able to use these parts to manipulate the audience’s emotions. The music playing from the car is an on-screen sound. As the man gets attacked, the volume increases. The sound helps intensify the scene that has been created by the film’s visual elements. The audience then subconsciously forms ideas, opinions, and feelings about what they are seeing. The viewers develop scared feelings as the scene intensifies to the happy upbeat tune. The increasing volume of the cheery song reflects the violence and the sinisterness of the scene. The song stops with the slamming of the car’s driver-side door as the man is abducted. There is a moment of silence and then a new song abruptly entered the silent scene. The music is non-diegetic and is an offscreen sound. The song is screechy, high pitched, and jagged sounding at first, continuing the anxious and scared mood. The song shifts into a sort of soulful hymn. The tone shifts along with the song. The audience begins to feel relieved and relaxes to the peaceful song.

The music video for Roar depicts a dysfunctional couple crash landing in the jungle. Katy Perry plays the leading lady, and she follows her nonchalant boyfriend around the jungle.

She enters a cave and observes the cave

Corruption, lies, adultery, politics, and death are all topics addressed in Upton Sinclair’s 1906 novel The Jungle.

WASHINGTON, DC – Somewhere off the Korean peninsula, two Russian TU-95 bombers were approaching the ship on Sunday, October 6th. Flying 80 miles from the US carrier, 18 US Navy fighter jets left from USS Ronald Reagan to approach these TU-95 bombers. The TU-95 bombers and our own Navy fighter jets, which remained civil, without any incident.

To one, it seems as if the drumming sound effect is coming from the military army, themselves. By adding this simple audio to the film, it adds a whole new wave of tension. The swiftness of the man’s journey throughout the forest, at this moment for dramatic purposes, is slowed down. As the man reaches a lone road between the trees and wildlife, he seems to see his destination. As tree leaves and branches past by the screen, soft music begins to fill the air.

Various types of citizens can be seen in Kaka'ako. Students, business people, residents, and tourist can be seen seated at one of the many bus stops in the neighborhood. With a lot of construction activities in the community, many construction workers can be seen milling around the neighborhood. Tourists pose with the Statue of King Kamehameha.A homeless person was observed sleeping at a business entrance.

Another aspect of sound in this film was how it affected the story. By using sound dramatically in certain parts and not using it at all in other parts, sound gave this story an entity of its own. For example, during long stretches of film with mostly dialogue, there was no music played in the background, only a phone ringing in the distance, or the men's voices during their deliberation. These long silences also took place during editing shots of the town and images that surrounded this German city. This dramatic difference in sound was a revelation of how mood can be made by images and sound put together to make an incredible component.

Sound can be used to dictate the mood of scenes or it can also be used to foreshadow certain events happening later in the film. In the very first scene it shows the curtains of Eva’s house blowing in the wind and the distinct ticking sound of a sprinkler. This sprinkler sound is used a few times throughout the film and usually foreshadows that Kevin has done something bad . The sprinkler sound is used just before Eva discovers that Kevin has destroyed her room full maps, it is also used right before Celia’s guinea pig goes missing, with the sprinkler noise indicating that Kevin had something to do with it and finally the same scene that was shown at the beginning of the film, the curtains blowing in the wind and sprinkler ticking in the background, is shown again in its entirety as Eva walks out and discovers that Kevin has killed her daughter and her husband in addition to the school massacre. The other aspect of sound is the music used during the film. The music Ramsey used during the film was mostly upbeat, happy music, which was a stark contrast to Eva’s emotional state during the film. During the film while Eva is grocery shopping, the PA system plays an instrumental version of the Christmas carol "What Child Is This?”, the title of which is a description of the estrangement and distance that Eva seems to have felt from her son since before he was

South Korea loves sport, sport is not only a popular physical activity but is a significant social practice. Sport operates as an important cultural resource and produces and disseminates nationalism. Indeed, in recent years, south korea has shown competence in hosting, playing, and managing sport. South Korean athletes have created notable results at major international sport events. For example, since 1984, the national Summer Olympic team has unfailingly been ranked in the top 10 nations on the medal table, with the only exception being the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. The country has also produced a number of major world sporting events, including hosting

Sound effects where used in the film to help develop Joseph’s message. Sound effects helped enforce the idea by linking certain sounds to a specific memorable moment in his life. An example of this is when the milk cartons hit the wall and he has a flashback to the moment of the gunshots in Africa. The sound effects of the milk hitting the wall

Manners represent an individual by the way they dress, behave, communicate, and their etiquette, while customs refer to the traditional way that a culture is practice individually, or by a group of people. Workers are expected to bow to their seniors when they greet them, and to use only formal language to their seniors, as it is rude to speak informally to someone of higher rank. In Korean businesses, meetings are often held in evenings at a restaurant or bar. Drinking is part of the Korean culture, as Koreans believe that drinking helps to bond colleagues in the company, and an offered drink must never be refused as it is considered to be rude. Along with drinking, Karaoke is a popular activity after meetings. People who attend the meeting are usually expected to sing a solo song.

I was the “funny guy” in my clique of high school friends. Ever since I learned to read English, I enjoyed reading and collecting joke books. I exhausted every single joke book from the small community library in town. Riddles, jokes about animals and wildlife, reasons why I didn’t do my homework, lawyer jokes, and later on, ethnic jokes. I knew they were funny, but I wanted more. Perhaps it was my lack of physical achievements that made me obsess with a need to entertain my peers.
