Screenwriting Template Dirty Harry (1971) Deconstructed

相关的主题文章：

From our deconstruction of hundreds of Hollywood blockbusters at www.clickok.co.uk/
The Hero's Journey is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the Hollywood movies we have deconstructed are based on this template.
Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters.
The Hero's Journey:
a) Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told.
b) Gives the writer more structural elements than simply three or four acts, plot points, mid point and so on.
c) Interpreted metaphorically, laterally and symbolically, allows an infinite number of varied stories to be created.
and more...

相关的主题文章：

Digital cameras and camera phones have revolutionized the world of photography in the last decade. You can now easily send great photos that are never printed on paper around the world via the Internet. Sending pictures through the web is now the fastest and easiest way to share photos with your loved ones and friends. We usually send our pictures via email,hamilton watches, but Internet photo albums make it much easier to share all of our pictures with whomever we choose.
There are a lot of options when it comes to choosing places that allow you to make Internet photo albums. Of course,ladies watches, some of them work better than others, and some have better features. For instance, Kodak offers albums that allow the customers to move their pictures straight from their camera to the album with little fuss. There are also online albums that offer limited photo-editing options, while others allow their customers to order prints from their Internet photo albums.
Most Internet photo albums allow their customers to try for free, and some remain free no matter how many pictures the customers load. For example,patek philippe, Shutterfly allows customers to order pictures, but they will automatically shrink any photo to fit the 4 by 6 format when uploaded. On the other hand, Picturetrail offers better albums to their customers and they can upload larger pictures for viewing. However, they are only allowed a small number before they must subscribe to Picturetrail’s services.
Considering the nature of the photos is important for costumers who are choosing among Internet photo albums. There are some sites that are great at keeping pictures private to only those who the customers invite to view, and others allow anyone to see them. There also some sites that offer right click protection so no one can lift photos for their own use. Photographers who make money with their pictures can appreciate this protection. Customers can decide what they want in a service, and what they can do without by reading the terms of use when they are choosing Internet photo albums.
Internet photo albums will generally allow their customers to display their photos. Customers who only need this service can easily find services that will work well for them. Other services also allow video uploads so that visitors can share videos with the world as well.

Satellite TV Discovering The Wonders Of Modern Television

相关的主题文章：

Since the creation of information technology, many remarkable things are gradually taking its technological advancement in an exceptional rate. Take for example the way television operates these days. From the time cable television was launched, many tech-savvy geniuses are continuously looking for ways to compensate the growing demand of the market. Hence, they have created the so-called satellite TV. And from the time this new technology was established in the market, the satellite TV is significantly making the cable television a run for their money. Basically, satellite television works through the use of satellites, particularly communication satellites. These satellites are the ones responsible in delivering more television shows all over the world. It has wider reach compared to the cable television because it is not restricted and dependent on 'terrestrial signals.' Contrary to most popular beliefs, the use of satellite television is not actually new to this world. Its first discovery was in 1962 when the television signal was transmitted to the Telstar satellite from Europe, passing over North America. However, the proliferation of satellite television only started in the modern world because of the continuous increase in the cable television subscription. Also, the lack of cable TV providers in some places of some countries prompted the consumers to opt to satellite TV. The Technology Basically,gps watch, satellite television works just like any cable television that generates signals. The only difference is that the satellite television uses either geostationary orbit of about 22,300 miles way over the earth's equator or through extremely oblique position with steepness of more or less 63.4 degrees with an 'orbital period' of almost 12 hours. However, some people still contend that cable television works better than satellite TV. This, in turn, created an endless debate on these two giant monsters in the world of broadcast media. Hence, for those who wish to know if satellite TV is really a better choice over cable television, here is a list of some of its benefits over cable TV: 1. Quality Satellite TV has better reception signals than cable television. Hence,nixon watch, it creates better quality of viewing. This is based on the theory that cable television has inadequate 'bandwidth.' For this reason, it creates poor quality of signal reception. On the other hand, satellite TV use digital signals, which creates better quality of images and sound coming from the station. In fact, some experts contend that images seen on a satellite TV have 2 to 3 times better resolution than the cable television. 2. More stations Cable televisions usually have limited number of channels. This is due to the fact that cable television providers operate upon subscription. If a certain channel is no longer included in the subscription list, then, the viewer will not retrieve that channel. On the other hand, satellite TV has more digital stations. This is because most of the channels taken from the satellite are transmitted directly by the television stations to the satellite, and from here, the stations are distributed to every home with satellite disc mounted on their roofs. 3. More access The best thing about satellite television is that the subscribers can actually access any channels wherever they may be. This means that even if they are in the most remote part of the world, they can get access on the channels and watch their favorite TV show. Indeed, it is pretty obvious why most people prefer satellite TV to cable television. However, only one thing is certain. Satellite TV will definitely cost more than cable television. Nevertheless, even if it will even cost a million, as long as it provides quality pictures and resolutions, then,pocket watches, it is worth paying for.

GPS Technology and Child Safety

相关的主题文章：

What parent has had that moment of fright when the child who was just at your side is gone? Usually the child has seen something of interest and just gone to investigate, or has gotten separated in a crowd, such as being at a carnival, and although it may only two seconds to locate your child, it feels like two years and when you do find them your heart is racing, your hands are shaking and you don’t know whether to hug them or scold them.
The possibility of someone taking our child is a real fear every parent carries with them. Just pick up a newspaper or watch the evening news and reports of children being kidnapped or abducted are constant and the heartbreak of the parents is just so overwhelming. Now what if there was a technology that could find that child instantly?
GPS technology is now being used to help keep track of children and allow parents to know where their child is at all times. These devices are usually small enough to fit anywhere-backpack, pants or coat pocket, etc. and lightweight enough not to be burdensome. Some of these have pre-programmable buttons so the child can keep in touch with their parents or call for help if necessary.
These devices range from tracking devices that will beep until the child is found, to cell phones with GPS technology installed, to watches that if forcibly removed will automatically activate. There are even backpacks available with GPS technology installed. Some of these will activate if the child is too far away from the parent. And there is even one that is implanted in a shoe.
Of course the main problems with these are the child is going to lose them, or if the child is abducted they can easily be disposed of. I can envision the day when it will be possible to have a GPS transmitter implanted in a child via an injection or some other simple manner.
There are other concerns also. Are only children with parents who can afford this technology are going to benefit. Is this going to increase the number of lower class children, whose parents can’t afford this new technology, being abducted? Will someone, such as a child molester or kidnapper, find a way to use a child’s transmitter signal to locate the child? Also how are our children to adjust to the fact that they are constantly being monitored?
How secure are our children going to feel knowing that the world is so dangerous that their parents need to know where they are at all times? Are we stripping a part of their childhood away from them? Who doesn’t remember, as a kid,bulova watches, going somewhere you knew your parents didn’t want you to go, but as children we are adventurers,nixon watch, and if we got into trouble or got ‘caught’ being where we shouldn’t be, we more than likely not only got punished but also learned a lesson. We grow and mature by making mistakes and learning from them, are we going to take part of this education away from our children? At what age do we stop? Do we continue to monitor them through their teen-age years? A time that can be the hardest time of any child’s or parents life, it’s a time where a teenager needs to mature and a parent needs to learn to ‘let go’ and allow the child to learn on their own-mistakes and all.
Although this technology has some very great qualities in the protection of our children, the possibility of abusing this technology must also be addressed. We all want our children to be safe,gps watch, yet at the same time they must be allowed to grow to become functional adults.

GPS Systems

相关的主题文章：

A GPS or Global Positioning System is a collection of two dozen satellites,patek philippe, which revolve around the earth. It is used to determine the location of a reciever on earth.This is done by sending radio signals to the electronic GPS recievers from the satellites. Every satellite has a reciever on earth. These signals contain data on the location of the satellites and the time taken for signal transmission. The satellites are placed twelve thousand miles above the surface of earth and complete 2 orbits every day. The functions of the satellites are periodically checked on and new ones are sent to replace the old ones.
With the improvement in technology, accuracy has increased. GPS systems have become more affordable as compared to earlier times. Accuracy differs depending on various factors. Sometimes it can even be as good as a few meters. The GPS systems can be used in a large number of areas. Further,bulova watches, decreases in costs have increased the number of users. Fishermen and hikers can use portable GPS to navigate in the wild. Cars are being equipped with GPS systems,watch repair, which give drivers better navigation abilities and better protection against theft. It is used by the military to guide cruise missiles to pre-specified targets. Personal hand held devices like wrist watches are equipped with GPS to help in tracking people out and getting their exact location.
The system was developed by the Department of Defense of the US. It was initially named NAVSTAR GPS. Of the twenty-four satellites, the first one was launched in 1974 and the last in 1994. The Department of Defense switched off selective availability (SA) on 2 May 2000. The selective availability had been a cause for less accurate readings. The department reserves the right to turn it back on when they see the need to do so. The GPS systems are now about 10 times more accurate than they were when selective availability had been active.

GPS Systems Make Life Easier for All of Us

GPS – Global Positioning System is a satellite navigation system. First conceived as navigation aid by the military now number of GPS satellites broadcasts accurate timing signals by radio to GPS receivers.GPS provides a set of coordinates which represent the location of the GPS unit with respect to its latitude, longitude and elevation on planet Earth thus allowing them to accurately determine their location anywhere on the earth at anytime. It has become an important tool for map making and land surveying and is also used for very precise time reference needed for scientific research like the study of earthquakes. GPS receivers come in various formats, from devices integrated into cars, to phones to watches.
The GPS satellites broadcast accurate clock information in two forms:
Coarse Acquisition code/C/A-This is used mainly for civilian navigation which broadcast at 1,023 MHz repeating every millisecond. Each satellite sends a distinct C/A code, which allows them to be identified.
Precise code/ P-code- The P-code broadcast at 10.23 MHz, but it repeats only once per week. The P code is first encrypted into the Y-code, or P(Y), which can only be decrypted by units with a valid decryption key.
Applications of GPS:
There are number of fields where GPS has been used such as:
Military
It plays an important role in the military by helping to find precise targeting of military weapons such as missiles and precision guided munitions. It also provides good location awareness thus helping in controlling of forces and command.GPS satellites also carry nuclear detonation detectors.
Navigation
If you are someone who are likely to always get lost while driving then GPS is what you need in your car. It is used as navigation aid in cars,ladies watches, ships and planes. Hikers and trekkers use hand held GPS receivers to find their way. Even visually impaired people use this GPS equipment to guide their way.
Surveying
Construction workers also use GPS receivers for surveying the land to locate boundaries, structures, and survey markers, and for construction of roads.
Geocaching
GPS receivers are also used in recreational activities like geocaching where a hand held GPS receiver is used.Geocachers use this to travel to specific longitude and latitude walking or hiking to natural locations, searching for particular objects hidden by the other geocachers. Aircraft passengers
Airline passengers can use GPS units in some airlines inside the aircraft except while landing and taking off as they have very little risk of interference. These airlines integrate aircraft tracking into the seat-back television entertainment system, available to all passengers even during takeoff and landing.
Precise time reference
For accurate time GPS is used. In time code generators GPS is used as a reference clock and also when sensors are deployed they are used to provide accurate time for each recording appartus.Even atomic clocks are set to GPS time.GPS time is counted in days,bulova watches, hours, minutes, and seconds,hamilton watches, in the manner that is conventional for most time standards.
Location-based services
Location based services also use GPS to locate all mobile phones. It provides a location solution is dependent more on mobile phones and less on telecommunications network topology. This also helps to provide specific location information to the mobile phone.
The biggest problem faced in GPS is that the atmospheric conditions can change the speed of the GPS signals while passing through the ionosphere. This effect gets minimized when the satellite is directly overhead and becomes greater toward the horizon.

Working With Animated Backgrounds

Animated backgrounds can really enhance your email, personal webpages, or your Myspace page. This can be quite fun, but may also cause some unwanted difficulties. If you’re not familiar with html,patek philippe, you can find it difficult to add them to your site, and if you become careless about where you acquire your backgrounds, you may suffer from a few nasty surprises.
The World-Wide-Web has plenty of sites that allow you to download animated backgrounds, but you have to be careful when you do so. There are sites that offer attractive fonts,hamilton watches, smilies, animated backgrounds, but they may also offer you something else. You can unknowingly get spyware and malware as part of the package, when you download from these sites.
I committed this mistake myself, and I now make it a point to be wary about where I get things online. It was a careless mistake on my part, but a lot of other people commit the same blunder. I wasn’t after animated backgrounds, but I was searching for smilies for my email.
I went to Smilie Central and downloaded their program. My laptop was instantly infected with spyware. My laptop was nearly crippled. It took some time before I was able to solve the problem,pocket watches, and clean up my system.
A lot of sites do this because they are aware that people are fond of animated backgrounds or cool mouse pointers for their computers. They slyly offer you the stuff for free, but then sell your information to spam emailers and the like.
They may install spyware on your computer that can tell them about your browsing habits and your favorite sites. This information can be valuable to some people. At times they also install malware, which can damage your system, pick up your credit card information, or passwords.
If you are interested in downloading animated backgrounds, protect your system by having your spyware and antivirus running as you download. In most cases, they will pick up on any extra stuff that is trying to come through your computer.
After an installment or download, remember to run your spyware program to ensure that everything was caught. There are downloads that will not run if you remove the spyware, but the choice is up to you. Do you want to maintain your privacy or get the free animated backgrounds?
