was lunch time, pizza time! However, things did not go as planned for me. It was almost as if my life was based off a movie for that brief moment. The cameraman would do a long shot, showing the different groups of people filling up the cafeteria. The shot smoothly transitions into a medium shot as I slowly make my way towards the table.

Our society lives in a culture that is obsessed with failure. This obsession is partly caused by ourselves through our creations such as media.

The Nazi’s sent a film crew to the Warsaw ghetto where they would film the Jews in their everyday lives most of the time being staged. They filmed from the very weak and poor to the wealthier Jewish people. It is easy to think of why the Germans would film the Jews in luxurious settings, to promote and show that the ghettos are good places and the Jews in the ghettos are living well. But why would they film the extreme poverty and state of the buildings and living conditions when they were so poor

During this film they talk about Technicolor and strip color. They were used when color first became part of the film industry. Color was a new thing and one that took a lot of time and energy.
