In life, there will be times when you are not able to rely on others to help you get through things. You will have to get through them alone. Santiago’s time came when he was out fishing. He was all alone because Man olin was not allowed to go out to sea with him, although he truly wanted to. I also had to get through something alone just like many other people.
My sisters an I spent awhile up in Pennsylvania for the filming of my dads movie. We helped organize things, made people feel comfortable and we even acted in the movie too. It was being filmed at a sleep away camp. The scenery around us was beautiful.
At times there were many kids at the camp to act, and at times there were few. There was always something to do, unless you had noone to do it with. A few weeks into the filming, both of my sisters scenes had already been filmed. I still had to do a few more scenes.
They were both given the option to stay, but they both chose to leave. They had to catch up on some stuff back at home. When they both left, I felt very lonely. It felt that the camp was so empty, because I was so used to having them there. Also, most of the other kids scenes were over too, so there were mostly just adults left to film. Since I had been there so long already, I was beginning to feel very comfortable with the crew members and the remaining cast.
The Essay on Cinematic techniques in Tim Burton’s Films
Tim Burton uses many cinematic techniques in his movies such as lighting and camera angles throughout his movies in order to create effects and moods. He uses these two cinematic techniques numerous of times in the films Edward Scissorhands and in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. He uses them very efficiently to portray different ideas such as showing strengths, weakness, or size in character or ...
I also had my mom and dad there too, but they were very busy most of the time. Instead of being alone, I made conversation with other people so they would accept me. Some days I did get a little lonely tho. When all of the crew members are working and the cast members acting, I had nothing else to do but to watch it all happen.
When the time came for me to do another scene, I couldn’t wait, I couldn’t take another minute of sitting alone watching other people act. Although I was alone, it felt the total opposite. Since I got so familiar with everybody and started talking to them, now they were asking me to take walks around the camp just to enjoy the scenery. It was a great experience and my dad made a great choice on actors and actresses because they were all so nice and were also able to act very well.
Although being alone can seem so boring and most times is, other times you learn and have great experiences from it. I know I had such a great experience and by being alone, it taught me to not wait for people to approach me, but that I should approach them. I also believe that Santiago and I experienced close to the same experience.
