Notes from Lecture 9

Revision of week 8 lesson

Dynamic action- Actions that are reactions. Instead of saying what they are thinking inside. It tells us something about what is going inside his head.

For example, in the South African short film we watched, the young boy looks up to his boss and treats him as a role model. This was clearly shown through dynamic action. When his boss takes a deep breadth in the morning, he does the same thing too. This also applies in the scene where something falls on his boss’s hat. The boy starts to laugh but stops halfway to get approval from his boss and only continues to laugh after his boss laughs.

Location- jurasic park is a zoo/ amusement park located in an island off the coast of central America.

The island is completely isolated, and anyone on it will be trapped until assistance from the mainland arrives.

In the movie. “The Heinsenberg Principle”, there is a metaphor. The metaphor is that humans tend to pretend that nothing is happening when they are faced with difficult decisions.
