Image result for harry potter and the sorcerer's stone pictures from movie

I like Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone because of the engaging story plot and the film techniques used in the movie. Camera shots, Camera angles, music, sound effects, costume, and make-up made the film interesting. The music that was suspenseful, mysterious, and sorrowful engaged me into the film by making me feel suspense, sad, excited, and curious. The angles of the camera made me see certain views which gave me a clear image of what I needed to see to stay engaged in the movie. The Lighting was at time eerie, dim, or gloomy which fit in with the setting to made a image of grandeur or an image that fit in with the setting. For instance, the gloomy lighting lit up by fire in the school added to an image of grandeur which made me feel awed. The settings and props used opened the doors to a fantasy world which I really enjoyed about the movie. I liked the sound effect used when Hermione fixed Harry's glasses because it made the movie seem more realistic.
In the beginning of the movie, I feel injustice, sadness and pity for Harry who is shunned by his relatives, the Dursleys. and not treated nicely as shown when he spends his time under the stairs. He is not cared for as shown by him wearing dudley's hand-me -downs and known when watchers find out that he is forced to go to his neighbor’s house when the rest of the family is doing something fun. I feel suspense for Harry to get his letter and am happy when he finally gets it. When I find out he is to go to a wizarding school, I am more happy because he will be free from the Dursleys and be able to go to a cool place. I am glad that he makes friends and does heroic acts. I am happy when he gets his things for hogwarts, makes it through the wall, when he and his friends get points for the Gryffindors when they get knock down a giant in the girls bathroom, when harry is able to join the quidditch team, and when harry makes it to the sorcerer stone to defeat Lord Voldemort. I feel tense throughout their journey to the sorcerer stone as they get past the dog, get gulfed up by devil's snare, have to win the chess game, and have to get through room of flying keys finding the right key. In the end of the movie I am surprised when Lord Voldemort appears so that he can get the sorcerer's stone and am scared for Harry after he defeats Lord Voldemort because I am scared he'll burn in the fire.

son in coma news article

link to article: https://www.wral.com/son-in-coma-mother-shocked-to-find-she-had-little-say-in-his-medical-care/15062774/ In this article a 18-year old is critically injured and in coma. His mother had little say in his medicare and wanted to get legal guardianship to make decisions for her son. Some may think that the doctor should have all the say in medicare because doctors know best and parents can make the wrong decisions. Others may say parents should have some say in the decisions for their children because doctors may not care enough for the patient to make the right decisions or may not thoroughly do the job. I have known a case where this is to be true. One of my friend's dad was not thoroughly checked and so they could not properly treat him and he died of a heart attack. This is why I think that the parents should have some say in medicare although I think doctors should also have some say in medicare because they know best in their profession. I also think it shou...

happier by marshmello ft. bastille music video

Image
https://youtu.be/m7Bc3pLyij0 In the music video of the song 'Happier' by Marshmello ft. Bastille, the story of the girl and her dog is one of happiness, hope, and sadness. The video starts off with a girl sad on her birthday and gets a dog which makes her happy. I also get happy in this part because she's happy.Then it shows her time with the dog as she measures herself and the dog, and plays soccer with it. When she's sad the dog cheers her up but stops playing with her. This makes me worried because I know that this means the dog might die in the video. After months pass by, the dog is about to die and when she's sad he comforts her. This also makes me sad because I don't want the dog to die since the girl and the dog are so happy together. The reason for the dog's death is omitted. 20 years later, she gets a dog for her child who's just as happy as she was when she got her first dog. This makes me happy because I want the child to have as many happy ...

Miss Representation

Image
   In the documentary, Miss Representation , the issue of young girls being influenced by media to only value how they look like is presented. Media also causes the issue of devaluation of women by men who also value how girls look like. Men are learning to hold power sexually and women are learning that only their body matters. Women are then stereotypically perceived to be weak while men are expected to be masculine and strong. Women are only shown to be used sexually and are devalued because to men it seems that only a woman's body matters. This is because men hold a lot of power in our society. Women don't get much of a chance to share their voice and ideas with the world, giving them the image that they are less than men.   At a young age, children are exposed to social pressure due to media content. For example, in most G-rated movies, women are shown wearing clothing as sexually revealing as those in R-rated films. Children learn that women are valued for their bo...
