I have read “Rogue Wave” by Theodore Taylor and I think that this suspenseful story would make a wicked action-movie. In this essay, I will be outlining how I would make the story into a movie. For the opening scene, I would show Sully being loan the boat by Beau Tucker. The screen would first show a distant view of the crystal blue waters of Pacific Ocean. The camera would slowly zoom in and around to show a small mountain covered in luscious vegetation near a coastline of cream-coloured sand bathed by gently splashing waves. It would slowly come to rest at a straw-coloured rectangular hut showing sight of several different-sized boats and yachts. The gap through a window would display many fishing rods, surfboards, flippers, diving suits and other sea-related equipment. On top of the window, chalk-written would be the words ‘Avalon Harbor’. A wooden sign flimsily inserted in the sand would say, “Welcome to Catalina Island, CA.” The camera would move to the door of the hut, and follow Scoot Atkins as she exists, wearing a purple shirt that has “I Love the Beach” on it,covered partially by a nylon jacket, black shorts, canvas boat shoes and carrying a aqua-marine backpack. She would walk towards a boat where a young man and an older one are conversing. The camera would give the audience a small glimpse at …show more content…
The song “Don't Let Me Down” by the Chainsmokers featuring Daya would start to be sung by Sully. When he reaches the part that says “I think I'm losing my mind now” the actual recording of the song starts to play in the background. Sully’s face fights back tears. Then as the music gets louder Sully dives back in the water to make one last attempt. Then the camera moves to Scoot who is slowly rising as the song fades. She sits up and holds her head. It takes her a moment before looking around the room, feeling pot by her foot and sees the upside-down
The close up shot of the sheriff overlooking the people on the beach with the look of concern and distress, opposed to the family in the background, smiling and enjoying the nice sunny day. This shot of him explains his perturb feeling that he knows what awaits in the water, unlike everyone else. The long shot of the person floating in the middle of the sea exposed makes the audience feel relaxed but also cautious. Over the shoulder shot shows the attention is not on the man talking to the sheriff but on the woman in the sea, which was a false alarm, of the woman screaming, but also keeps the audience alert. Another long shot is shown when the children get up to go to sea, makes the audience anxious for danger that is about to happen.
On the Waterfront directed by Elia Kazan about a man that once felt he owed something to the mob and now he wants to control his life. This film is a classic mobster movie that is well known for the filming techniques used whilst shooting. The method acting, the lighting, and the camera angles establish the plot.
This part of the video persuades the audience to trust that the singer knows what it is like to be under stress from
The film that interested me for this assignment was “Boyz n the Hood”. The movie was about a Los Angeles neighborhood expanding of drug and gang culture, with increasingly tragic results. It was about how one teen had family support to guide him on the right path in life regarding the social problems around him. The other two teens in the film wasn’t as fortunate and fell into the social problems of drugs, violence, and gangs; where one ended up dead.
It is quiet rare to watch a film that trumps its novel origins. Film version of movies are often less detailed, give poor representation of true characters, and are frequently just plain laughable in comparison to “the real deal.” However, the best selling memoir, “Wild: A Journey from Lost to Found” offers a framework that simply begs to be put into motion picture.

The film’s story does not simply shines forth, but is also the foundation of the plot. The film’s plot makes the traditional guidelines applicable...
As my family and I sped along the coast, the sour smell of sulfur vents and sea salt pungently gusted through my nostrils. My clothes were damp from the constant spray of seawater. My sense of balance was overcome by the sequential hop from wave to wave and – combined with the
And the genre of the film is horror or thriller and it is about a great white shark that hunts in the seas of Amity Island. The film is set around the 4th of July in New Jersey. It may be set 4th of July because is their independence day or their freedom from Great Britain. It may be set on the 4th of July because this day is very important or significant for the whole of America. It is celebrated around the whole of America in various ways to celebrate the American tradition. This also creates tension because if people get killed on this day or maybe Christmas it has a greater effect because often people are unaware or not expecting something like this to happen on a day like that.
After reading Anne Tyler’s Average Waves In Unprotected Waters, a few moments in particular stuck out to me. On page 1065 of the text, Tyler writes, “People stared at him. She would have liked to push their faces in.” Here, Bet is at the train station with her disabled son, Arnold. The people round them begin to stare as Arnold begins to act out. This makes Bet understandably upset as people are being rude to her and her son by staring at and judging them.
Rogue Wave is Jennifer Donnelly’s sequel to Deep Blue, where Sera’s home Miromara was seized by Traho and his men. She spends most of the novel figuring out how to hide and what’s occurring. Rogue Wave demonstrates her struggle to hide away from anyone, because there’s a bounty on her. Consequently, there are few she can trust to help her on her journey to find Merrow’s talisman, which is necessitated to stop Traho from freeing Abbadon. To clarify, Abaddon is a monster that is incredibly powerful and treacherous due to the fact that it destroyed Atlantis. Sera also encountered the other four merls (Neela being one of them but she was already with her) that were required to save the realms. They all went their separate ways to find their ancestors talismans and developed

Ron Jones, a schoolteacher at a high school in Palo Alto, California created a movement or experiment in which he ended up turning his students into Nazis. This experiment, known as “The Third Wave”, showed that students would respond to extreme discipline by obeying. His hypothesis was that if students preformed in a more disciplined environment, they would begin to comply with the rules and accept them. The independent variable of “The Third Wave” was Mr. Jones, who orchestrated the entire experiment, hanging what he would require the students to do. On the other hand, the students in his class that complied with these rules, were the dependent variable of the experiment.
In this article, Jones discusses the marginalization of motion pictures, yet touches on the great aspects of film, and how these aspects can expect to survive in the future. Major topics that Jones addresses are: developments in video narrative through flawless storytelling, the use of digital tools for film restoration and preservation, and an audience shift from film to digital. These points detail the love and appreciation that goes into filmmaking, and how the narratives, despite having changed formats throughout the years, have been able to survive and appear to be timeless. Jones also further discusses the idea of using audiovisual material to create narratives appealing. He details how the stylistic approach of a film, and the techniques like cinematography and editing, can enhance and provide for a greater narrative. In summary, the sum of the parts of a film are what make the entire experience, which not only makes for a great film, but for a lasting story as
In the reading, it claims that theta waves are involved in the process of healing and that by controlling them, the healer can create energies that heal the body. However, theta waves are related to sleep and not healing. According to lecture taught by Huggon (2018), he explains that theta waves have no function in treating the body, but instead, these waves create hypnagogic imagery and hypnic kicks, which indicate the onset of sleep. Therefore, theta waves are part of stage one of the sleep cycle and not part of the healing process as the author claims.
