This was the scene where Daniel was baptized and humiliated by Eli in front of the town. The scene set in the middle of the day uses a lot of natural lighting and uses an establishing shot. The establishing shot shows the setting in the church, the two main characters, and what is going on. It is also a long shot scene where one can see the whole profile of the two main characters, those watching the two in front of them, and the stage. The scene even in a low angle shot giving the viewer a view of characters from below to seem like one is seated watching them. In a way, Elswit’s could show the viewer not a completely direct way of being close-up to the main characters but the scene shows more of a point of view shot. An example in this scene is when Eli beats Daniel the camera gets close to Daniel but when Eli walks around the camera at times goes back to

Many people throughout the world visit the United States every year to receive medical treatment. This is due to our excellent pharmaceutical industry as it spends million of dollars and many hours of research to come up with what we can only describe as “miracle” drugs and treatments. Part of the success of many of these medications is because the pharmaceutical industry is highly regulated by policies that protect the public from accessing drugs that have not been fully tested and found to be “safe”. However, this was not the case until the late 1990s and early 2000s. One time in history that highly influenced the strict regulations we currently have was the nationwide contamination of patients through blood transfusion or by consuming medications
The first scene is a television which automatically brings the modern feel to the film. As the camera gives the sense of the television moving slowly towards us we suddenly break into a quick speedy montage showing the story and some of the characters. The introduction to the play is repeated, once on the television by the news reader and again during the opening montage. This may be to create effect or perhaps to show the importance and publicity this story had. The scene in the petrol station focuses on the rivalry and hatred of the two families, The Capulets and the Montagues.

I will be investigating Human Blood as my specific tissue and giving an overview on the location, characteristics, and the benefits it has to the human body. Blood is extracellular matrix that is consists of plasma, red blood cells, platelets, and white blood cells. Blood is located within the capillaries/veins/arteries of the human body, which are blood vessels that run through the entire body. These blood vessels allow the blood to flow smoothly and quickly from the heart to distinct parts of the human body. The unique parts of human blood all work together for a purpose: the Red Blood Cells(erythrocytes) transports oxygen throughout the body, White Blood Cells(leukocytes) play a part in the bodies immune system, Platelets(thrombocytes) assist in creating scabs,

...s the movie ends with the sun coming out over the rainy gate, one cannot help but to feel as confused and lost as the characters at the opening lines of the film when they intoned their total incomprehension of the situation. Although the woodcutter seems to redeem himself of the perfidy of (possibly) stealing the dagger by adopting a baby left under the gate, the movie is never resolved. While faith is restored that men can also be good (a central question throughout the film) we are never any the wiser as to what was real. That is the whole point of the movie; we are never shown what is real because we will never know.
