Video Sequence asssignment
The trailer for the movie, Food, Inc., caught my eye because the sequence of shots went from the beauty of food growing to the harsh conditions of processing food. I don’t know if we thought about food as something potentially harmful since Rachel Carson’s book, Silent Spring, as much as we do today.
The first shot, an example of a wide shot(:12-:15) of lush wheat growing, acres upon acres, reminds me of the line, “for amber waves of grain,” from the song, “America the Beautiful.” You are taken in by the wide expansive field.
The next shot is a medium one (:16-:18) and takes the viewer into the grocery store. It gives you the impression, this is where food goes: from the fields, to the store, where you shop. You are going down an aisle, as if that is the next step. Much like one of the examples in class, from the movie, “About a Boy,” when the actors are bounding up the steps towards the door, behind it is more. This shot shows a long corridor and takes the viewer on a journey.
The final shot is jarring. Its a detail shot (:20-:23) more than a tight shot and shows cattle in unclean conditions then the chickens hanging from a conveyor belt.
The sequence takes viewers from the farm to store to factory, in less than 10 seconds. As if to say, the field is the beginning, the store is the end but you may not know the middle of the story.

Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She
never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
