Still, she resisted. “How much longer?” Zelda finally asked after a long period of silence. She was never good at keeping quiet and Andrew knew that. “Oh, not long now.”, Andrew replied

leader of the gods was Odin, who was the god of battle, poetry, and death. He was also the father of all the other gods. He presided over Valhalla, the Viking heaven. It was believed that when a Viking died in battle, a warrior maiden called a Valkyrie escorted him to Valhalla.

Along with editing and shot selection, a film also depends heavily on its sound and music. Although motion pictures didn’t begin with sound, they have hardly looked back since the first sound film was premiered.
