Personal Narrative: My First Shot

Walking into the hallway, I saw the Christmas tree all lit up with tons of presents under it all different shapes and sizes. I went to my brother’s bedroom muttering saying, “Hey wake up you sleepyhead.” Then we went downstairs and woke up our parents jumping on them. My mom’s growled “What time is it you bunch of crazy people?” “It’s Christmas morning!!!” Slowly my dad rolls out of bed. “You guys are crazy.” “Why's that.” “Getting up at 6:00 is for hunting season only.” “No Christmas too.” As

I was just 10 years old a kid came up to me and started talking trash. I could tell he wanted to do something.So I was ready whenever he was ready. He threw the first punch and nothing had happened to me. I didn’t feel anything.Now it was my turn to show him what I could do. So I charged at him with all my energy. BAM!

I was little, six or seven when I shot my first gun. The Ruger ten twenty-two; the smallest gun we had in the house at the time. Dad was in a shooting contest with just shooting twenty-twos. Every now and then he would let me shoot. The first shot I ever took; Dad was there to help me shoot and learn what to do and what not to do. WHAM, the gun went off; the bolt slams open and I got the first smell and taste of gunpowder being burnt. Talk about the best smell and taste; that was one of them

The Time I Shot My First Deer My father has been taking my brother and I hunting since we were very tiny. My family owns a cabin down in Beardstown, Illinois, where we have a lot of hunting ground and it’s also a place we can all hang out and ride fourwheelers at. Usually, when we are down there, my Grandfather and the rest of our friends and family are also there too, so we always have a lot of fun times when we are with them. It has always been an exciting experience for me to get to hang out

The most exciting day in my life, was when I shot my first deer. I was 13 years old and in the 8th grade. I had hunted 2 years before that, and had never had any luck with shooting a deer. This year I had higher expectations, the years before chances had been presented to me ,but could never seem to get a shot at one, but this year was gonna be different. We took the precautions that we do every year to prepare for the big day ahead, we ran through a mental checklist of everything that we thought

Leung Chiu Wai), as they navigate around their incidence with unrequited love and their ultimate decision to move on from such a disheartening position. However, the unique structure of the movie is that it translates both experiences separately, first with Cop 223, and half way through the movie the audience is introduced to Cop 663’s story. Throughout the film, though the main characters’ stories are told in different perspective, the characteristic of ‘similar but different’ is unavoidable in

was at my home, I took photos of possible filming points to show my group. I got one of my group members to book the gear, and made sure she had ordered the correct equiptment. I got my writer to get her questions to me a few days before the shoot, so I could look over them and add other questions I thought would help the narrative. I then relayed to my interviewees the sort of questions we would be asking, so they could think about their answers. Production phase: On the day of the shoot, my team

It was 1963, eighteen years since the end of a conflict considered by many to be the deadliest in human history. The European continent, struggling to adapt to a postwar world, began experiencing shifts in the international balance of power; shifts that resulted in the seemingly invulnerable colonial system falling victim to numerous episodes of unrest and innumerable efforts at decolonization. One such effort took place in the French military colony of Algeria, beginning in 1954 with a socialist

Reflection #1 – Hugo (Scorsese, 2011) “What precisely is the cinema of attractions? First it is a cinema that bases itself on the quality that Leger celebrated: its ability to show something.” – Tom Gunning It was in a large, packed cinema that I first viewed Hugo in 2011. During this initial viewing it had not occurred to me that this film was a spectacle of the history of cinema. However, upon revisiting the film with a more developed understanding of film history, I was delighted to be able

technique rarely used at his era of filmmaking. He focused a lot on the preparation of a project before shooting such as analysing physical appearances of actors before casting and searching for the right costumes, props est. which would provide narrative information for the audience about a film which was rarely done by filmmakers at the time. Griffith realised that placing artificial information in a film would neglect the realism in the story and performance, therefore he tried to bring a natural
