Shots

Following the man as he walks along the line of privates. Somewhat low angle with a medium shot.
 Close-up on the two characters at an eye level angle sorta.
 Long shot with a view of everybody, camera follows the man until he reaches the far left. Eye level angle.
 Low angle and a medium close up

 
 Big close-up of the man's face.
Big close-up and a somewhat over shoulder shot
Another big closeup with an over shoulder view. Eye level angle

Ma Veray Furst Memoray

The text being analyzed is the poem First Memory by Louise Glück, a poem possibly about some of the memories the author had as a child.

The first big idea would have to be revenge, that's what drives the thought in this poem. The word wounded could be in service of this idea of revenge. He's been 'wounded' and wants revenge for the wrong-doing. At the end of this idea there is repetition of a certain phrase: 'For what he was - for what I was:'. Although the 'he' and the 'I' are in juxtaposition to each other. The colon forms the transition to the next big idea.

The two most important words of this second big idea are most likely pain and loved. The pain was connected to the fact that he wasn't loved, or rather that's what he thought the pain was. The word loved is repeated, although with contrasting context 'I was not loved. It meant I loved.' The author starts the first idea and second idea the same by saying 'Long ago' and 'From the beginning of time'. Both of these statements are a reference to his past.

This poem portrays a memory and strong emotion through the author's use of repetition and punctuation.

Mr V

ACT I

PROLOGUE

Enter Chorus
Chorus
O for a Muse of fire, that would ascend
The brightest heaven of invention,
A kingdom for a stage, princes to act
And monarchs to behold the swelling scene!
Then should the warlike Harry, like himself, (5)
Assume the port of Mars; and at his heels,
Leash'd in like hounds, should famine, sword and fire
Crouch for employment. But pardon, and gentles all,
The flat unraised spirits that have dared
On this unworthy scaffold to bring forth (10)
So great an object: can this cockpit hold
The vasty fields of France? or may we cram
Within this wooden O the very casques
That did affright the air at Agincourt? +End of idea
O, pardon! {since a crooked figure may (15)
Attest in little place a million;} -1 thing stands for many
And let us, ciphers to this great accompt,
On your imaginary forces work.
Suppose within the girdle of these walls
Are now confined two mighty monarchies, (20
Whose high upreared and abutting fronts
The perilous narrow ocean parts asunder:
Piece out our imperfections with your thoughts;
Into a thousand parts divide on man,
And make imaginary puissance; (25)
Think when we talk of horses, that you see them
Printing their proud hoofs i' the receiving earth;
For 'tis your thoughts that now must deck our kings,
Carry them here and there; jumping o'er times,
Turning the accomplishment of many years (30)
Into an hour-glass@!: for the which supply,
Admit me Chorus to this history;
Who prologue-like your humble patience pray,
Gently to hear, kindly to judge, our play.
Exit
The Big Idea: We're Not Worthy
-In the chorus the speaker says we will have to use our imaginations to make the story come to life.
Ideas in service:
-'I wish' lines 1-4
O for a Muse of fire, that would ascend
The brightest heaven of invention,
A kingdom for a stage, princes to act
And monarchs to behold the swelling scene

-Henry V = War lines 5-8

Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaab Baby

The aspect of this advertisement that attracts the viewers attention is the image itself. The Saab 9-7X SUV takes up the majority of the advertisements space, you can't avoid not looking at it. In addition to that the vehicle is shiny, clean, and looks nice. It looks powerful too. The first sentence in the statement is bold and large, grabbing your attention even more. 'An SUV with altitude', through subtlety the message makes the viewer think that this vehicle is superior to others, the higher you are the better. What develops desire is the words used in the bottom paragraph. They give the audience a small insight on the history of how Saab was founded by 16 aircraft engineers. Some people viewing this ad may think that they themselves would think it's awesome to have a vehicle influenced by aircrafts. The very last two sentences of this advertisement brings the audience/viewer into the ad itself by addressing the audience. 'After all, once you've built jets, you don't build just another SUV. Enjoy your flight.' By addressing them you then make the audience think it's all about them, which it might be.

Within this advertisement is a few propaganda tools and rhetorical devices. There's a great amount of repetition within the advertisement that's used. The company constantly refers to the fact that it's an SUV and that the car was built by Saab. There's also the repeated reference to aspects of flight where the ad mentions 'altitude', 'aircraft engineers', 'jets', and 'flight'. There's the Saab company logo clearly printed in the top along with their slogan 'Born From Jets' as well. They make use of jargon slightly by using fancy terms like '300-hp Displacement on Demand V8 engine' and using sentences that make it seem all the better like 'optimizes fuel efficiency without sacrificing performance'.

The big idea of this advertisement is the influence that flying and altitude has on the company Saab and their 9-7X SUVs. In service of the big idea; their most powerful sentence in large and bold letters 'An SUV with altitude'. The company really tries to emphasize the way the SUV embraces the company's history and the fact that they're car designs are superior by having more altitude. They state that 'Saab was founded by 16 aircraft engineers and their spirit lives on'. They're still embracing their history and using it in their cars. They've built a powerful new SUV

The targeted audience for this advertisement would be the North American market and it's buyers and sellers. The bottom left of the advertisement shows a tiny Saab Automobile USA sign and the price given is in dollars as well.

Paper Reflection

The big idea of my paper was to express how graffiti is cool. I constantly tried to refer to statement that graffiti is cool and how the aspects of it that I introduced in the paper were also really cool. By doing so I was sticking to the main and central message of my paper. I had the basic layout of a proper essay; my introduction, body paragraphs, and then lastly my conclusion. I had hooks for my introduction and my conclusion but only one or two of my body paragraphs had hooks. My body paragraphs also didn't follow much of the needed format of what body paragraphs need: hook, introduction, thesis statement, etc. Overall, I believe my essay on how and why graffiti is cool was a success. I personally liked the various topics I chose to discuss and the different forms of media I used. I believe my grammar and spelling were almost top-notch too.
