Light Emissions In Darabont's A Separate Peace

1600 Words4 Pages

This Experiment is a way of successfully viewing the emission spectra for metal carbonates. By heating the carbonates electrons go from there normal state called ground state to a higher energy state called excited state and the difference in electron energy gap of each metal carbonate makes up the difference of colours. This excited state is not a stable state but while in this state the atom gains additional energy but the variation of energy emitted is a characteristic of that in particular element. In this state the electrons emit photons which is the energy that corresponds to light wavelengths and therefore produces the different light emissions.

“he was just a little turd in prison grays. Looked like a stiff breeze could blow him over. That was my first impression of the man.” The arrival of Andy in Shawshank Prison was the point of no return for him. Darabont uses this scene as a reality check for Andy which makes him feel extremely small quickly. Darabont does this by using high angle shots of the guards high up with guns showing how insignificant Any is now compared to them. This is also shown in the close up shots of Andy showing his concern and his darting eyes trying to take in all the information. The background music plays throughout this scene isn’t cheerful, but paints a picture of uncertainty and inhibition for times to come. It is also instrumental and is completely different to the opening scene “If I didn’t care”. When approaching the prison building Darabont uses Andy’s point of view shot/ low angle shot looking up to show how intimidating the prison is. When they are outside it is light, especially Andy’s last glimpse before he goes inside into the darkness is symbolic. When inside Darabont uses the delousing powder to follow the theme of controlling and almost ownership over him from there onwards they can do anything to him and get away with
