To sum up the definition i picked was “…no one knows, it hasn’t happened yet…”. So this definition is basically saying that science fiction is imagination of the possible. They are things that can happen in the future. I also had another good definition in mind that said, “sf is the art of the possible,Continue reading “Best Definition of Science Fiction”

I think an overall theme of the episode could be docile. I think that every time the women came close to death while fighting the ‘dog’ is significant. She was fighting almost the entire time trying to figure out ways to get away and/or stop it. The dialogues when she was talking in the radioContinue reading “Metalhead”

In the opening scene of the episode, a black and white filter is used; the coloring automatically makes the mood of the scene dreary and bleak. Some of the camera shots used seem to be shot by a drone overhead; the post apocalyptic setting adds to the desolated feel of the shot. The is alsoContinue reading “Black Mirror “Metalhead””

When someone says they’ve hit a crossroad, it means that they’ve run into an unavoidable situation; a stump, a blockage. Rick has been hit with a situation that he has to. Cars take us on journeys, when you see the car in the street flipped over and ricks car up right it could mean thatContinue reading “Walking Dead Opening Scene”

Watching the intro of the movie, I would say that the overall theme is understanding. The youngest child in the family seems to know the gist of the situation they are in. But maybe doesn’t fully comprehend the degree of danger disobeying would put him in. The deaf daughter understands the situation and is awareContinue reading “Response to A Quiet Place”

Along with the closeups of Ava and Kyoko, it brings suspense to make the viewer wonder what they are talking about. Their words aren’t heard but you can see their lips moving so signifyContinue reading “Ex Machina”

I feel the director decided to use this shot to show how life went from normal to destructive and war torn. The music is a way to show the foreshadowing of what will happen. The music gives it the feel that something bad will happen; it contradictory to the shots that are being shown. TheContinue reading “Terminator 2”

I think this draft was probably one of my worst ones yet. I am a perfectionist so when I write I overthink everything as well as go back and re-write a lot. I feel as if even though it’s just a rough draft, it still needs to be as good as it can be. IContinue reading “Response to first draft”

Overall Theme: the overall message exemplified in Dotta’s image is catharsis. Subclaims: -The rope in the image can represent the hindrance of growth and acceptance. -the hand prints in the sand could show how this event will always stay with her and is the reason why she is the person she has become. -the grassContinue reading “Arkko Dotta”

My eye was first drawn to the burning silhouette in the center. I saw that first because it is in the center and is bigger than that other things in the image. The birds in the image are symbols because they could represent all the different religions that people may believe in. The silhouette isContinue reading “Portrait of Self as Agnostic”
