My Film Job

A film job I would like would be the video editor. I am good with computers and experimented a lot with video editing software. I would help transfer the screenwriter's vision and transform it into a video. I enjoy editing items, it takes a long time to do and it is a very tedious process but I love doing it. I feel like I execute this job flawlessly. In editing the film, I would also choose the song that belong in the scenes. This is a very crucial job because it will portray the emotion you want the audience to feel, and I have a variety taste of music so I would be match any song with any scene.

Conflict

Along the way Agent Hobbes, is on the hunt for them and is determined to take them down. While they are being hunted the fugitives get their criminal and skillful friends and plot a way to rob Reyes, the richest man in Brazil. Throughout the entire film Reyes' goons and Hobbes are trying to take the entire team down.

Idea For Film -  These gamblers from Las Vegas owe a gangster a lot of money that they borrowed from them. So they devise a plan to rob a casino, in order to pay back the man and have money left over for their gambling fetish.

My Review of The Elephant Man

Elephant Man was a really good film. I liked how the movie was black and white to portray that the movie was taken place in the 19th century. The beginning of the movie, was what interested me the most. You see a picture of a women and an elephant; it looks like the elephant is striking and hurting the women. The symbolism of that was to signify the women was raped by another man or perhaps a group of men. This really captured my attention because since the film title is "The Elephant Man" I wanted to know what connection the man and the elephant had. Followed by that scene it was an image of an explosion with the sound of a baby crying. I also wanted to know why is a baby cry in an explosion? The true meaning of it was that the baby was the result of the rape and he came out deformed people call him the "elephant man" because they made up that his mother was hit by an elephant when she was pregnant. I enjoyed how there was so much symbolism throughout the movie, but you just really had to pay attention to notice and understand it. The actor who portrayed John Merrick did a nice job I felt like his acting was what made the movie into a great one. I also found it interesting that some of  the cast members and crew members had a connection to the actual people that worked with and knew John Merrick. The movie overall made people ask themselves if they were good or bad people, and showed people  that are different are human too.

My Name Is John Merrick

Today I was at the train station because the circus people had helped me escape from a monkey cage that I was put in by Mr. Bytes. As I got off the train this little kid kept starring at me, I had tried my best to look away and not get any attention drawn my myself. Then I increased my walking pace to get away from the boy, but it seemed the more I tried to get way from he just kept following. A group of kids then were chasing me I was running as fast as I could until I got trapped by a huge crowd, they took away this cover I had to not show my face. I ran away from the crowd, but they chased me into a bathroom. I felt as if I wasn't being treated as a human, like I wasn't equal to them. Although I may look different then most people I am still a human being, and I should be treated as one. Police then showed up and took me back to Dr. Frederick Treves and I was safe and sound once again.

Welcome To My Nightmare...

There is no such thing as fear. Fear is all in your head. Many people have different types of fears like heights, the darkness and public speaking. I for one believe that they can be all concurred if you just do it. Lets say you have the fear of roller coasters get on the tallest ride in an amusement park the anticipation will kill you waiting in line and then waiting for the ride to get started, but once you are actually experiencing it you will see that there was nothing to worry about. Being afraid of the dark, is something people probably get from watching too many horror movies, but I can pretty much guarantee you that a serial killer is not going to bed hiding in your closet between the time you turned the light off (light travels at the speed of 186,000 mi/sec) so unless the crazy ax man is Flash then you have nothing to worry about. As for being afraid to speak in front of a crowd, well there is always that one  famous trick to picture everyone in their underwear, but if that doesn't work then practice makes perfect. Of course your first time presenting isn't going to be the best heck it's going to be the worst, but the key is to learn from each presentation and progress as you go. Fear is something almost everybody has, you must own your fears in order to overcome them.

Compassionate Science

I feel like I would be able to contribute my knowledge of technology and my passion and drive for human welfare. I have always had an interest with technology, I even spent a summer at a camp designing my own iOS application and I am still learning new things in the technology sciences. In there I met this person who used their knowledge of physics and robotic technology and used that to help create prosthetic body parts for people. His story was that he always enjoyed being actively involved with the community and decided to combine both his likings. I want to use his story as an inspiration and use something that I am really good at and use it for a good cause. In the future I would like to start a non profit organization helping kids in third world countries supplying them with computers and laptops and teaching them the basic of computers to further enhance their communication skills, and expose them to a world of networking that in turn will benefit their education. 

My Favorite Movie

My favorite movie would have to be Fast Five. I am completely infatuated with the Fast and the Furious franchise, but this movie had always stood out to me. This movie is an action thriller that involves gangs, bounty hunters, and lots and lots of fast cars! This movie in the series was when the franchise began shifting from just street racing to an action pact film. The plot follows fugitives Dominic Toretto, Mia Toretto, and Bryan O'Conner heading towards South America escaping imprisonment in the United States. There they meet up and old friend of theirs, Vince who lets them into what they thought was a simple car heist, but really it was part of a drug related exchange. They then steal the car that has a chip installed in it, that includes all the maps to the locations of  $100 million dollars. Not knowing the chip was going to be sold to Rio de Janiro's most powerful man Hernan Reyes. The group of three not knowing America's best bounty hunter Luke Hobbs has been tracking their tail and knows that they are now in Brazil. Brian and Dom then come up with a plan to steal all of Reyes' money with the help of their good friends back home Tej who is the computer tech, Roman the bad ass who isn't afraid of anything, Han who is really good at driving cars, Giselle an ex military member, Leo and Santos who do a variety of jobs for them. The crew then devises a plan to rob a federal bank that has all of Reyes' money while trying to avoid being captured by the skillfully trained Agent Hobbs. They then rob the bank tricking Hobbs and the police by switching the safe vault into a trash truck and Hobbs lets Dom leave the country that day only because Reyes' messed with his team when the had captured Dom, Vince, and Brian killing almost all Hobb's crew members and when he was short in men the fugitives entered combat against Reyes' men. Leaving all of Dom's crew memebers with $100 million dollars in cash.

The Future

What I think about the future 35 years from now is the advancement of technology would be so immense that we would need it in our every day lives. To access you would have to go through a scanner personalized for every household member. The temperature of the room would change according to your mood. Food would be automatically cooked by just a thought, so no one would physically cook. You can command your house to do certain items like wash dishes, turn on the heater by voice control. The home would learn every house hold members name and learn their personality traits and custom everything to their liking. There would be a television screen built in the walls, without the use of projectors. A car would be unlocked by fingerprint scan, and be able to drive itself from starting point to ending point flawlessly. People who have glasses can have a television screen in front of them so they could literally fall asleep while watching a show. Phones would no longer be need you would be able to communicate with people telepathically, you would be able to communicate without say a word or lifting a finger to send a text message.

One Time I Laughed Really, Really Hard

One time I laughed really, really hard I began to cry. I was moping my kitchen floor and I kept telling my sister and brother not to cross because it was wet and they might slip. Once I was done mopping I went to my room. My sister decided to be rebellious and go to the kitchen to get a cup of water then she slipped. She then slipped and fell. I went to the kitchen and saw my sister lying on the floor with the cup on top of her. I then began to laugh and I said, "You should have listened to me". It took me about a minute or two to help my sister up I was too busy laughing and the more I tried to control my laughter the more I laughed and then tears began rolling down my face. I then was a good sister and helped her up, I was glad my mom wasn't there or else I would have gotten into trouble if I laughed and didn't help my sister immediately.

My Review on Modern Times

What I thought about Modern Times, was that it was so relatable to the audience that's what made it a great film. He covered topics that society at that time were dealing with such as the Great Depression. Chaplin wanted to bring laughter to those  who were greatly affected by the economy and make them forget about their problems for a brief moment. Chaplin plays a character called the "tramp" that goes through a series of events involving being overworked my manufactures, being accused of a communism, and struggling to get money to have a roof over his head. These were all happenings during the Great Depression and leading off to the second World War. Chaplin wanted to seem relatable because he too had gone through similar events through out his childhood so knew what it was like to have no money and be left to your own devices. Though adding his comedy to the tramp's series of unfortunate events making the lesson be that although you have gone and are going through rough times just smile and it would make things a bit more easier. 

My Thoughts on Bullying

My opinion on bullying is that it is pointless for the bully to go and terrorize their classmates or peers. From what I know bullies harass others because of an emotional event has happened in their life and they are projecting their feelings towards that on others. If that is so shouldn't the bully seek help from a consular or just talk to someone about it? Instead of hurting other students, they should learn to deal with their own insecurities. Personally I have never been bullied nor been the bully but I have seen the effect bullying has on kids. My own brother was bullied for a while, and he tried hard to fit in so he wouldn't be the outcast and be teased. I find that so heartbreaking, pretending to be someone who you are not just to please others and make sure you aren't made fun of. I don't know what bullies get out of making others feel inferior it is stupid to make others feel bad just because you, are unpleased with something that is in your life. Also the parents of the kid who is a bully have terrible morals, they haven't taught their kids to behave appropriately, or they are probably the root of the bullying, or they haven't done anything about their kids being a bully. Parental action is necessary when it comes to bullying. Schools should also have certain regulations when it comes to cyber bullying. I have also witnessed cyber bullying but my  opinion on that is that cyber bullying isn't actually real, the person who is being harassed just needs to close their laptop screen and walk away opposed to real bullying when someone who could physically threat you and make it hard for you to walk away.
