I completely agree with all of these claims. While I personally try to be more world-concious, I feel that the U.S. is truly a land of waste. I believe that the sort of self-centeredness and wastefulness described here is a result of “American Pride”, where people think that because they are Americans they can do […]

Elements such as set design, lighting, composition, and camera angles all go into making a film look realistic and entertaining. One film that is often highly regarded as far as set design is Alfred Hitchcock’s 1954 film […]
