Dark Days and Man on a Wire were similar in the main shots they took, which were mainly long and medium shots and a few Mise-En-Scene photos. I don’t remember either having a frame around the film or pictures, in the case of Man on the Wire. Although Dark Days was more structured in the way the documentary was told with very little flash backs, Man on the Wire was the better and more interesting film. Both had key shots such as medium and long shots, however Man on the Wire took it beyond with all the tracking shots and panning shots it had, which helped to emphasize the size of not only the twin towers but the spaces he across and practiced in. Such as, when it panned up and down to show the height of the twin towers the only shot like that in Dark day, that I can remember, is the sideway tilt close up of the trains. There were many archival photos in Man on a Wire and this helped the audience to build a connection to Philippe and his love of wire waking, it was also added proof of him walking across the twin towers which is what any skeptic watchers would need. The only extra photo in Dark days was the emphasized eviction letter the homeless received; this could be argued that Dark Days was more of a documentary because it focused solely on the homeless at that time instead of all the back story like in Man on a Wire, however the back stories are what made the latter more interesting and somewhat confusing. The added graphics such as the plane flying to America and little short reenactments of the guards and crew setting up the wire helped to make the documentary more like a film and as such it was more entertaining. When it came to cuts and scene changes Man on the Wire was also better, Dark Days tended to cut from one scene straight into another where Man on the Wire had dramatic fades, such as when introducing people. The interviews/ Monologues in Man on a Wire were better in how the medium shots of the people were done in a more traditional setting ad had better lighting so you could see the faces more.

 I haven’t changed my mind; I still think the internet is good for communication if that is your intention. I do agree that it does cause people to want whatever they want and want it quickly because of how fast you can get something on the internet and it does make others speed up their lives. And it is true that letters are much more personal than an email, with both you sit down and write it but it takes much less time to type up an email, especially when you can do it on your phone which most people have access to 24/7. You also have to mail he letter write addresses and walk t to the mailbox, however if you need someone to get something quick a letter doesn’t cut it. I also have to agree that people are less personal because of technology (which includes the internet) adolescent’s talk in text sometimes rather than full sentences, and when you can type everything and send it to who you want it to get to in seconds rather than days, why wouldn’t you?

I agree with Jay-Z, the internet is so accessible and full of information. It is very much like the “Wild West” in that there is so much on it that most has been undiscovered. Being as how we have freedom of speech a lot of it remains untamed as well. The internet can be used a quick access to family and friends or a fight arena (e.g. Facebook drama) It depend on how you use it. Because of how extensive the internet is the rules for it always changes so it is up to you do define the right and wrong aka the ‘rules’ of the internet based on your own morals and judgment. Aside from the law against cyber bullying, pretty much anything goes on the web, rather that thing is right or wrong is completely due to perspective. So it is ultimately up to us to determine the rules, when there are pretty much none what else can you do?

As for the internet and communication, the internet is great for quick communication, of course it depends on what you are communicating and why. At the same time everything’s so quick and easy that its less personal, it can be argued that an email is just a digital letter but when you can simply copy paste it and send it to everyone its much less personal. People are often more involved with surfing the web than actually talking (I’m guilty of this as well, considering I tend to read things on the internet instead of socializes when I’m not at home). The main thing about the internet and communication is what it is used for and why, if you use it to talk to a professor about an assignment, or  simply use a social networking site to talk to your brother overseas, meet new people, and/or correspond to a pin pal, the internet is great. However if you use it simply to start drama then it is a horrible thing to have. The internet is simply an object, a tool for our use and a tool when used correctly is a great thing, it only becomes bad when we misuse it. As far as it goes for the internet being good or bad for communication, even though it isn’t as personal it is quicker and easier to talk to those people who may be out of cell range or who don’t have an address but can check their email at the library.
