This scene takes place in two different atmospheres or situations. One of the atmospheres it takes place in is a train. The spacing of this would be known as limited space. I would classify it as limited space because there isn't too much echo and he is close to the camera while talking. The sound doesn't have to travel that far before it reaches to the camera. The other parts of the scene take place in an office of a military headquarters. This would be known as limited space. The area isn't that big and there is a bunch of machines in there with them. They have enough space to be more than flat, but the sound doesn't take that long to reach the camera letting us know that it is not deep space. I would have to say after watching this clip a few times that the sounds would be causal. I say this because it is only literal sounds and they aren't representing or symbolic of anything. You hear him talking on the phone. You hear the heart monitors and his voice over when they are in the military headquarters. The sounds would also be known as diegetic. This means that the audience and the actors can hear the sounds. The monitors would be know as off screen noise in this particular scene because we never actually see the monitors, but we know they are there.

One of the stories I read was about Flaum as a boy. He never got along with his teacher. One day they were told to create a short story. He failed because he didn't make the requirements. Nick Thompson wrote about a tiger trying to escape a zoo. Every time he jumped out of his cage he jumped into another cage at another zoo. This cause Flaum problems because this was the only kid who did well. The moral of this story is face your struggles head on because that is the only way you will come out successful.

"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken."
-Oscar Wilde

This quote by Oscar Wilde struck a chord with me. As a college student, I am pushing myself to be the best and do the best. I am supposed to do what the professor says and when I get back from class I am supposed to do what my peers says. It is really hard to be yourself at times. Who wants to be that awkward person who stands out from everyone else? I can answer that, no one. You see everyone around you and you think they have it figured out, but they really don't. When you aren't you, then who are you? This is a quote that I live by. Most people want to be accepted so badly, they lose themselves in the process. This quote not only is held on a personal level for me, but a professional one as well. As a young college student it is hard to find your place in the world. I am trying to figure out, not only who I am, but who I want to be. The media world is a creative and very competitive place to want a career. People get turned away everyday because they do not live up to the standards that are placed upon them. This is where my quote plays a part. I hate it when people change who they are just to get someone to like them or their work. Now, I realize that you have to do things that some times you don't like. That is not what I am talking about. What I am talking about is peer pressure. Doing stuff that you know isn't you, but doing it anyway because you want a spot on the team or group. This not only happens with teens and young adults, it happens with working adults as well. I am going into a very creative industry and being myself is the key to my success. This is why most people struggle and fail. You have to know who you are and love yourself before someone else is going to love you. That goes for your work as well. If you love your work, then one day you will meet someone that will love your work just as much as you do. It might take getting through a few rejections to get you to the right person, but when you do you will feel accomplished. I know this may sound like relationship stuff, which it could be, but that is not what I am talking about. I am talking about putting who you are into your work and staying true to yourself. No one is truly happy when they are only being someone else because they think thats who the other person wants them to be. We all know of that guy in the workplace who is so far up the boss's butt that the boss just blows him off. This is because the guy is being who he thinks the boss wants him to be and not himself. He would be more successful if he was just himself! I mean who wants someone who is exactly like themselves?? Boring!!

Tessa Turner's Media Blog

After awhile of thought, I think I want the name of my blog to be Tessa Turner's Media Blog. The reason I decided on this name is because it is professional. This gives me the opportunity to show possible employers my work in the future. I plan on including projects I create throughout my stay at Ohio University. This could be music, videos, and possibly scripts. I will keep the layout of my blog professional, however, I did use the blue color scheme layout. I didn't want it to be completely plain because who wants to look at someone's blog when it has no color. I love looking at pictures. So, I will post pictures that inspire me to work hard and that go along with my projects. I want my blog to show people that even though I am young, I can still have some pretty great ideas. I want it to show people that I am professional and intelligent. I also want them to see that I have a sense of humor because a sense of humor can get you far in life. I would like my blog to show people how creative I am. I want them to be able to view my projects and see how much work I put into them. I believe the creation of this blog will help me have a place to promote my ideas. This could be a portfolio I use to help me get the job I want in the near future. This is not only going to help me for professional reasons, but it will help to show me what I need to work on, especially if people comment on the blogs I put up. This blog will help me put my ideas to paper. Some times the challenge is not only figuring out an idea, but figuring out how you are going to put that idea on paper. I am excited to start this blog that will only help me in the future.

My personality

This is a picture of Fred Astaire. He was an amazing dancer. He put so much passion and dedication to every piece he created. He describes my personality because I am a very passionate person. Whenever I create something, if its dance or a media project, I give it my all. I dedicate myself to everything I do, much like Mr. Astaire. He is not only passionate and dedicated, but he is portrayed as funny or goofy at times. I think of myself as a funny person! I love to joke around. Laughing is a major part of who I am as a person. The two thing that probably describe me the most would be laughing and joking.
