Different types of commercials can be seen on television daily. Among the many commercials, some are memorable, meaningful, and carry a deeper meaning of the ad. One of the most compelling ads that was aired on the television was an ad from the beer company Guinness called, “Wheelchair basketball”. The commercial starts off with a group of muscular men partaking in an intense game of wheelchair basketball as soft and inspirational music plays in the background. As the game progresses, the men in

Watching a movie to understand. From “Lucy” (2014 Film) Lucy, an action and science fiction movie published in 2014 in the United States, directed by Luc Besson.

When I first signed up for University 101 back over the summer I thought that this class was a waste of time, and was just an easy credit. But I was wrong. University 101 ended up being my most demanding class and I was upset because I felt like none of the journals, activities, and discussions were useful or even worth my time. But I was wrong again. My UNV 101 class was different from the rest, it was different because I was a part of Opportunity Network. Opportunity Network has three instructors

There many shots that we can analyze in Alien (1979) that have very deep meaning or shots that reinforce the plot or a characters traits. The first shot I would like to look at occurs in the very beginning of the movie, we see a room that is mostly white and the light is very bright in the room. We see a large pod like resting chamber that houses our main characters. We see that these chambers are opened by “Mother” the ships onboard computer system. I see this scene as a representation of birth

The many different street functions not only serve as a trope, but are a sign of the times. The cars, highways, intersections and cul-de-sacs also work to characterize the interactions among diverse figures within the film. Amongst these varying analysis of street functions and metaphors in the movie, there is also imagery in the film that conveys an impression of social relations in the twenty-first century.

I chose to analyze the movie “The Giver.” This film shows off how some people who have higher power than others tend to control more than the lower class. The giver was written by a woman named Lois Lowry. This novel was published in 1994. Lowry wanted to write a novel that took place in a utopia, where everything is perfect. When she was a young girl she lived in Japan. She remembers riding her bike around and knowing everything was foreign to her. The novel “The Giver” was partially based off

More often than people realize, philosophy is communicated through the art of film. A good Sci-Fi movie has a strict set of parameters it must adhere to. It requires scientific concepts and principles as part of the plot that already exist, but we are unsure of are true. Sci-Fi blends plausible and realistic technology with fantasy to depict a world in imagination. It must incorporate deep, sometimes hidden, philosophical themes ahead of it’s time.

not the case for Alison Bechdel. Writers of only text may explain a full description of details so the reader knows what is going on and has the ability to create their own images mentally. While a graphic writer has no need for massive amounts of textual detail instead displaying this detail through their artwork. For some readers, this combination of the two helps

Today is "Movie Day" in an elementary school classroom. All of the children are watching Disney's Snow White, a tale about a girl who lives with dwarves and whose beauty is envied by the queen, who eventually tries to kill her ("Snow White"). While the children are watching the movie, some of them get bored and begin playing patty-cake. The teacher sits back and eats an apple that a student left on his desk that morning. Two girls are texting each other things like "lol" when something funny

on TV and radio. As I was watching the music video, I could not see any tie-ins from any movies or TV show. Chris Brown is signed under RCA records, which are part of Sony records, which also makes this music video a major label release. Textual Analysis The music genre is a mixture of R&B and hip-hop this can be identified by the heavy beat and the rhythm.
