The video game L.A. Noire is about a police officer in Los Angeles California, and the police officer, Cole Phelps gets promoted to detective in the homicide unit. The objective of the video game is to solve murder cases and it can be done by finding physical evidence at the scene of the crime, interviewing witnesses, or interrogating suspects. A great part of the game is that it allows the player to use any method they prefer or simply go off of intuition, but some methods that the player can use as an approach through the entire game are the P.E.A.C.E. Method and Maximization.
The game has several cases and at the beginning of every case it has a brief skit that is played by silhouettes to show what the crime was, for example a person was ran over by a car or beaten to death by some object. Next,

Model was the most useful strategy because the order of the acronym was common with patterns of the game and reflective of the lecture material. Most cases in the game work best in this order, and In the Buyer Beware Case, where a shoe store owner, Everett Gage, was shot five times outside of his shoe store. The Notebook with a witness testimony by Clovis Galleta, an employee at the shoe store, and evidence like a gun at the crime scene was a way of giving the player the first category, "P- Planning or Preparation" so that they can approach the interrogation with some amount of prior knowledge. The game does not have a way of building rapport, although through the dialogue that the creators gave the character, they would do it on their own. One good example in a separate case was during an interrogation of a veteran and his understanding of the PTSD the veteran was going through. However, they always "E- Engage and Explain" why the suspect is being approached, for example "I'm officer Phelps, Miss. I'm here about the shooting." Next the "A- Account, Clarify, Challenge" is done the same way as it refers to use the Strategic Use of Evidence (SUE)
Chicanos and Chicanas are often stereotyped by people based on crude and unfair assumptions but at the same time, these stereotypes are often based on the truth. Movie directors are no exception as they attempt to understand and give representation to entire Chicano/a and Latino/a culture in society. The trailer of the film, La Mission, Che seems to be happy with his life until he realizes his son, Jes, is gay. Che then finds himself in a struggle to accept the homosexuality of his son while at the same time, Jes is struggling to find his own identity and to fit into society. The trailer has distinct ways in how it represents and shows the intersection and issues of gender and sexuality, race and ethics, as well as class. The trailer represents
In the short story “The Most Dangerous Game,” Connell uses foreshadowing to create suspense. For example, he uses the quotes “Who cares how a jaguar feels?” and “Bah! They’ve no understanding.” In these quotes, Rainsford is saying that the animals don’t feel anything when they are being hunted. He thinks it’s okay to hunt animals because they don’t understand what pain and fear feel like. These quotes foreshadow to when Rainsford actually experiences being hunted and he realizes that animals do feel pain and fear when hunted. Furthermore, he uses the quotes “He is a Cossack” and “So am I”. In these quotes, General Zaroff is hinting that he is a Cossack and may be a bit of a savage. These quotes foreshadow the fact
Unit 8 Discussion Assignment 1. What is the difference between a. and a. Though the initial reviews were mixed, time has proven the firm’s popular appeal. More than twenty years after its release. Scarface continues to be a rental favorite, a standard campus feature, and a late-night TV standard. How can the notion of the general welfare be used to justify giving big bucks to the stars making the film: actor Al Pacino, director Brian De Palma, and writer Oliver Stone?
In the short story “The Most Dangerous Game”, there are two main characters, Sanger Rainsford and General Zaroff. The story starts off with Rainsford and Rainsford’s hunting partner, Whitney, on a yacht heading to Rio de Janiero to hunt big game animals. Rainsford ends up becoming trapped on Ship-Trap Island, and that is where he and the reader are introduced to General Zaroff. Unfortunately for Rainsford, General Zaroff is not your normal General. General Zaroff and Rainsford are similar and different in many ways, and even though Rainsford believes that Zaroff is a sick individual, at the end of the story he becomes more like Zaroff than he realizes.
“The Most Dangerous Game”, written by Richard Connell, tells a story about the concept of natural selection between the predator and the prey. The short story starts off with the main character, an American hunter named Sanger Rainsford traveling via yacht to hunt jaguars in the Amazon with a friend. Eventually, after his friend has gone to bed, he goes to investigate a series of gunshots he heard in the distance and eventually falls off the yacht, leaving him stranded in the Caribbean Sea. Rainsford keeps calm, despite his troubles, and swims toward where he had heard the gunshots. He soon found an island and, after sleeping off his exhaustion from his swim, began to search for the men who shot off the gun he had heard, in hopes that he will
Facing hardships, problems, or obstacles shouldn’t discourage one from completing their task or job. Many of authors usually put their characters through tough complications to show the reader that no matter what happens; anyone could pull through. In the short story, “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connel, the main character Mr. Rainsford gets stranded on an eerie island with a bad reputation. He meets General Zaroff and gets thrown into a huge hunting game, where his life is on the line. In the end, he wins the game and will continue to hunt animals, but not people, as the general once did. He will continue to hunt because one, hunting means everything to him. Two, he will not continue the general’s crazy ways, and resort back to the legal and non-dangerous to other humans sport. Third, he feels powerful when he becomes the hunter and not the hunted. Giving up hunting would be like giving up his life, so just because of a minor block he had to overcome, he will not give up hunting.
The purpose or “goal of [an] interrogation is to facilitate the act of confessing [and obtaining truth]” (Leo & Thomas, 1998). The problem arises when an officer sits down with a suspect in an attempt to gain information or a confession; however, the suspect refuses to cooperate. So how can an officer facilitate the process and get a suspect to talk or even better, confess? Years ago this was accomplished by police through the use of force also known as police brutality. That practice has been abandoned due to the infringement of individual rights. Police were forced to seek an alternate means of obtaining information that did not rely on inhumane practices. This turnaround came in the form of trickery and deceit; called interrogatory deception. This type of psychological coercion is taught and practiced daily by today’s law enforcement. It is based on the utilitarian standpoint by police that the means justifies the outcome. This type of interrogation is performed in a way “which elicits admissions by deceiving suspects who have waived their right to remain silent” (Skolnick & Leo, 1992). For example, an officer co...
Everyday law enforcement personal have the possibility to face dangerous events in their daily duties. In performing such duties a police officer could come by a seemingly ordinary task, and in a blink of an eye the event can turn threatening and possible deadly. When or if this happens to an officer they won’t have
The movie that I chose for this paper was Minority Report. Minority Report is about a policeman who uses technology to be able to stop crimes, particularly murders, from happening. The technology is then turned against him as he is sought for committing a future murder (Minority Report, 2002). The first of the two scenes I will talk about which correlates to information from this class is the main open scene.
It is a fool-proof system born to ensure absolute safety…but when it crumbles, would you go against everything it stands for just to save it? This is the platform that Philip K. Dick, author of the sci-fi short story "The Minority Report" (MR), has given us. Set in a futuristic New York City, we see Police Commissioner John A. Anderton as the founder of a promising new branch of policing: Precrime, a system that uses "Precogs" (mutated and retarded oracles) to predict all future crimes. However, the system appears to backfire when Anderton himself is accused to kill a man he's never even heard of. The movie adaptation by the same name also centers on a younger Chief Anderton, a respected employee of Precrime, predicted to murder a complete stranger who he was unaware existed. Amidst scandal, betrayal, and distrust, both Andertons must run from the justice system they've worked so hard to put in place, and admit to themselves, as well as to society, that a perfect system cannot be born of imperfect humans. Though the basis of the film's plot and major conflict stayed true to the story's, many changes were made to the personalities and roles of the characters, as well as the nature and detail of the main conflict and the sub-conflicts.
Mise-en-scéne is something that we see in movies all the time. It’s translated from French and means the staging the different aspects of a movie such as setting, lighting, subjects, or almost anything else. Any common movie, such as Inside Out, shows Mise-en-snéne in it. Three big parts of Mise-en-scéne that are shown in the movie Inside Out are cinematography, sound, and editing. Inside Out uses all of these by describing a plot in which there are feelings in our brains which connect to different memories that we can remember at any time. There were five main emotions that controlled the person on the outside whose name was Riley. The five emotions were named, Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness. They helped Riley as she moved away from

Thesis: We will take a look at the opening scene of Dark Knight. The highlight of the scene for most moviegoers was the joker’s reveal at the end of the robbery where he removes his mask. We are all surprised, and in all truth we should not have been surprised. The movie gives us obvious clues to show that the man in the mask is the joker. This analysis will focus on some of those clues and give you a scene by scene analysis of the many different characters involved to understand better the distractions in place to ensure the Joker’s identity remains anonymous. With the help of critics and scholars, the clues throughout the movie confuse the audience and the identity of who the real villain is.
