I will discuss how both videos compliment each other as well as manipulate what we are shown. Shooting In The Wild will be my basis in explaining how events and shots taking are influenced in a way to expose animals in whatever light we see fit. In the “Arctic Tale” we are introduced to the characters Nanu, her mother, twin brother, and Seela a baby walrus we later meet. We find that polar bears are not so friendly with one another, when the mother must protect her babies from other adult male bears. This scene along with purposely chosen theatrical music portrays a “dark” father to children watching, one who will kill its own babies.
Why is the animal endangered? What are humans doing to affect the sustainability of this species? The Moon Bear is endangered from illegal hunting of the Moon Bear’s body parts, habitat loss from logging & athe main reason being because over Asia thousands & thousands of bears are on bear farms, kept in tiny cages, in order to get bile (a liquid in bears produced by the liver, that helps to digest the bears fat) from the gall bladders. Catheters (a metal tube) are implanted into the bears gall bladder (next to the liver in the abdomen), where the bile is drained up to twice a day. The procedure is very unhygienic & causes many infections where some bears die as a result.
We see that Jaguar Paw becomes afraid when passing refugees approach the hunting tribe and later Flint Sky's last words are "My son... don't be afraid". Jaguar Paw recalls these words several times throughout the story, especially when being chased by the Mayan city warriors. He tells them "I am Jaguar Paw. This is my forest. And I am not afraid" before jumping down a waterfall to evade being captured again.
Aside from the fact that wolves are conniving beasts, the narrator in this story warns us that the worst situation is to run into a wolf that is “more than he seems” (Carter 111). This is exactly what happens to the blonde child in the story. While she is walking in the forest she meets a hunter who carries a compass. He gains her trust, and they make a bet. Up until this point of the story, we can assume that this hunter is possibly a normal man.
[2] For example, In “Grizzly Man” the story we are presented with is simple; a man seeking his identity went and lived with Grizzly bears for thirteen years before being eaten. However, Herzogs's framing and cutting of Treadwell's story and footage reshapes the simple natural images into one that calls the audience to confront issues of mortality and nature. Similarly in “Capturing the Friedmans” directed by Andrew Jarecki, a tale of a paedophile being sent to jail is told – but the audience is left to question multiple issues such as the questioning of children, hypnotherapy and the U.S Judicial system. The idea that a documentary is a film used to communicate an ideological belief is a convincing one, with few
But in July 2011, the park experienced its first bear-related fatality since 1986 when a grizzly sow defending her cubs attacked two hikers on the Wapiti Lake Trail. And not long after, Yellowstone wildlife officials had to kill a different grizzly bear when it acted aggressively toward park visitors during several different incidents. The potential for bear encounters is also increasing. More people are out on trails and development along the wildland-urban interface has infringed on bear habitat. And changing patterns in bear behavior are bringing the animals closer to populated areas than ever before.
Matthew Krieg 3/5/15 Practical Aesthetics Professor Jackson Toy Story TOY STORY (1995)’s most obvious aesthetic is its revolutionary new animation style, for the time. Prior to the film, animated films had to been limited hand rendered animations that appeared two dimensional to the audiences, or to Claymation, which has a completely different look in general . However, the animation style with TOY STORY appeared completely three dimensional and was able to interact with realistic set lighting. Although this animation technology lacked the ability to produce rich textures on the models, this actually added to the film for the most part, since it produced very “plastic” looking models; perfect for modeling toys. The only time the animation looks out dated is when humans or dogs are shown in the film.
Veronica’s manager is then forced to call Ron Burgandy to the scene. When Ron arrives, he is drawn between making the break-through of his career and rescuing Veronica. He chooses to rescue Veronica, but once inside the bear enclosure, immediately regrets his decision. Luckily, the rest of the news team comes to the rescue, and together they fight the bears! Helped by the return of Baxter, who talks to the Mother bear,
In this paper, I will argue that the film Peter Pan represents indigenous cultures in ways that are both inaccurate and disturbing. Indians make their first appearance in the film after John, Michael, and the Lost Boys decide to go “hunting.” The Lost Boys suggest various preys that they want to seek out, including tigers and bears, before John suggests tracking down “the Aborigines.” The rest of the group readily agrees, and proceeds to march through the wilderness while singing: We’re out to fight the Injuns, The Injuns, the Injuns. We’re out to fight the Injuns, Because he told us so. When the group discovers a track that supposedly belongs to one of the Indians, John reassures the group that, while the Indians are “quite savage,” they pose no threat. According to John, they are “cunning, but not intelligent.” Despite this, the Indians manage to surround the group and take them hostage.
This demonstrates the view that women should not accept the ways of men but should dictate how they behave themselves. During the first two parts of the story where women are victims the wolves are described as “beasts”, but in the final part of the story where the woman is in control the wolf is described as “tender” as if the female being more dominant has tamed the wild “beast”. “A Boy Who Cried to a Wolf” is also a moralistic fairytale and uses ideas from “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” to tell the story of how a family do not trust and do not listen to their son so he gets revenge on them by striking up a friendship with a wolf. The structure of the story is that the boy goes from mild mannered and polite to deranged and overwhelmed with revenge on his family. The figurative language used in “The Company of Wolves” to describe the wolves or their incarnations as human men is often evil or menacing, “forest assassins” and “Carnivore incarnate,” this is saying the wolf lives solely to eat meat and is particularly vicious.
