Smarthinking: A Peer Review
This peer review on Smarthinking was great. I did not expect it to give me such thorough responses. The reviewer, Padma P., gave descriptions on what I need to work on, and then she provided examples to help clarify my mistakes and show me the proper way to write. For instance, she explained that I had a homonym error with the word effecting because it is a different word from affecting. She gave the example of using the words eight and ate incorrectly. Blatantly both, eight and ate, have different meanings. I am going to focus on finding an attention grabber for my persuasive essay, because it will hopefully make the reader more engaged and convinced by my stance. I was surprised by her analysis of my thesis statement. I thought I was clear,
Editing and Montage Film
"Once I understood that editing is crucial to how a film is made, I was hooked. Imagine: placed in your hands is fantastic raw footage that 250 people have created during shooting. You and the director are then allowed to sculpt this raw material into something that has structure, rhythm and pace, that builds characters, that creates dramatic peaks and lows and that hopefully has a good ending. Editing is an incredibly rewarding profession.
Film editing is described, when typed in to google as "the activity of selecting the scenes to be shown and putting them together to create a film" `but it is much more than just that. If done well it is invisible but also has the ability to control a film, even control the viewer watching the film. The process of editing film has been around nearly as long as film itself. After the cinema of attractions, people realised a narrative story could be constructed by splicing ends of celluloid together to tell a story. The most famous early example of this is The Great Train Robbery (1903) directed by Edwin S. Porter. Before Porters film the cinema of attractions consisted of single shot films of streets and crowded areas, projected later that day so that the people could see themselves on the big screen.
As the 1900's marched on so did editing and montage. The Great Train Robbery had established that it was possible to create a narrative by cutting film. The next decade would build on that and establish rules which apply to films today. One
Dna Editing Research Paper
Body/Hypothesis
Where did DNA editing come from and how does it work?
DNA editing was discovered thanks to the clash between bacteria and viruses. Bacteria and viruses have been fighting each other since life on Earth began. During an invasion of a cell, the virus inserts its own genetic code(RNA) into the bacterium and takes it over to use as a factory to replicate itself. The bacterium, meanwhile, tries to resist but ends up failing most of the time because it has weak, and insufficient tools to protect itself. Some bacteria however, through natural selection or chance, survive the attack and save part of the virus's genetic code(Kurzgesagt, 2016). The RNA of the virus is then saved in the bacterium's own genetic code in a DNA archive...show more content...
A scientist named Anthony James encountered this problem when he programmed mosquitoes to no longer transmit malaria. Though years of hard work, James was able to create a mosquito resistant to the parasite by adding genes that made it impossible for the malaria parasite to live inside of it. After this success, Anthony James was met with the problem of how he was going to spread this new gene(Kahn, 2016). Now that you've got a mosquito resistant to malaria, how is this gene going to replace the malaria in mosquitoes carrying the parasite? At first there was the idea that ten times the the amount of mosquitoes in the area should be released in the hopes that the gene would be passed on. This idea, however, would not be beneficial to the people living in the area where the mosquitoes were being released(Kahn, 2016). Months later, James received an email from a biologist named Ethan Baer about a genetic tool that not only ensured that a genetic trait would be inherited, but that it would spread exponentially quickly. To test the reliability of this tool, the scientists engineered two mosquitoes to not only carry the anti–malaria gene, but also the new tool(Kahn, 2016). They set up the test in such a way that any mosquitoes that inherited the anti–malaria gene would not have the ordinary white eyes, but red eyes. This made it easier for scientists to distinguish between a mosquito with the gene and without it(Kahn, 2016). After putting two of the red–eyed mosquitoes in a box with 30 ordinary mosquitoes to breed, scientists found that after two generations, not only had 38,000 mosquitoes been born, but all of them had red eyes. According to mendelian genetics this is not possible because only half of the DNA from each parent is inherited by the offspring(Kahn, 2016). This means that there should have been
Critical Review Of Forrest Gump
Paramount presented Robert Zemeckis' Forest Gump in theaters on July 6, 1994. This movie became a six time, Oscar winning film at the 67th Academy Awards. Tom Hanks stared in this movie as Forrest Gump. He developed this character in a way that would drive the plot smoothly. He was a lover, a fighter, a football star, and a multimillionaire. Hanks was able to portray Forrest as an all–American man in the 20th century. Forrest Gump is a great, uplifting saga about a boy's good–natured attempts to overcome his disabilities through the people he encountered and the deeply moving experiences in his lifetime.
Forrest Gump started off with a scene of a feather drifting off to a bench at a bus stop. Forrest starts to tell a story of him growing up in rural Alabama. He was raised by a single mother, Sally Field. She composed many famous saying in the film such as, "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get", and "Stupid is as stupid does." Mrs. Gump was an important role because she helped shape Forrest to person he became. She dedicated herself to giving him a normal life and making him believe that he was just as good as everyone else. Before she passed away she left him with her last piece of advice, "Death is just a part of life."
Forrest found a friend in a young girl named Jenny. Jenny and Forrest grew fond of each other and became best friends. He grew up with an IQ of 75 and struggled with boyhood bullies. During an altercation with the
The Editing Of The Man With The Movie Camera
Study On the Editing of The Man with the Movie Camera
How powerful an editor can be when assembling a film from scattered clips?
'I am a builder. I have placed you... in an extraordinary room which did not exist until just now when I also created it. In this room there are twelve walls, shot by me in various parts of the world. In bringing together shots of walls and details, I've managed to arrange them in an order that is pleasing'(17).
Says the soviet pioneer documentarist, Dziga Vertov, in his written work 'Kino–Eye', He commented on how audience can be manipulated by images shown on the screen through editing. Besides, he is also the director of the remarkable film, The Man with the Movie Camera, with his wife co–works as the editor and features on screen for several sequences. This film is constructed upon Vertov's idea of Cine–eye, which means to use the camera to achieve truth telling target. Film scholars are generally mesmerised by its refined editing patterns and BFI has granted it as the best documentary ever made in film history. Due to its unique complexity on montage without any particular narrative, this film is said "to be recognised around the world as a sophisticated documentary, a classic experiment in associational form, and an uninhibited display of the power of cinematic technique"(Brodwell 452). This essay will concentrate on one selected sequence from the film, analyse the purpose of its use of montage, and discuss how they contribute to the film to
Gene Editing Pros And Cons
Gene Editing of Humans In the world of science we face a myriad of controversial studies that confront bad press from the public for various reasons, even if the origins reside in the aspiration of the betterment of mankind. One of these studies is the process of gene editing in an attempt to provide people with better health or longer living by moving around and replacing key strands of DNA in their system. Many people opposed to this style of treatment see it as unnatural to mess with nature, some it is perceived as unholy in the eyes of their religious beliefs, and other just care for the safety of the patients that are willing to undergo this sort of treatment. However, me and many others believe that the pros of gene editing out weight the cons. Gene editing may very well may be the secret to unlock the secret to longer and healthier living and maybe push us to something even better than that.
Genome editing, or gene editing, is a type of genetic engineering in which DNA is inserted, deleted or replaced in the genome of a living organism using engineering ucleasus, or "molecular scissors" in the layman's terms. The technology at head of this procedure is the CRISPR–Cas9,the most versatile and precise method of gene editing and also is what made gene editing the hot topic it is in the medical world. As a result, of this breakthrough medical scientists have the ability to cure sickness, by eliminating genes that cause disease doctors can treat a wide range of illness
Editing And Proofreading Process Analysis
Editing is what you begin doing as soon as you finish your first draft. The process writers use to catch errors usal to their own writing. It's hard to edit or proofread a paper that you've just finished writing. It's still too familiar, and you tend to skip over a lot of errors. Try creating a brief outline of your paper to ensure the organization is reasonable. Review your paper to ensure that your tone is appropriate for your audience and consistent throughout your paper. Determine areas where you could add, delete, or move text to make your content more effective. If you try to identify and revise too many things at once, you risk losing focus, and your proofreading will be less effective. Editing and proofreading are two different stages
Definition of Peer Editing
Definition of Peer Editing
Peer editing is defined as the use of learners as the source of information. In peer editing, the students or learners would take the role of the teacher or tutor in order to check and to comment on a piece of work produced by another student or learner. These individuals would make comments orally or in writing about the work of their peers. This considered to be similar to peer review, peer feedback or peer response.
Benefits of Peer Editing in Teaching and Learning of Writing.
In most university courses which aim at enhancing students' writing skills, the students are trained on either functional or academic writing. For ESP courses, they learn about language points and how to organize ideas to fit the format of writing such as writing business and social letters and reports. For academic writing, they mainly gain practice on language points which include grammar, structure which is related to the type of writing and organizing ideas for paragraph and essay writing. Limited time causes less time for training students to be used to writing as a slow process. To help each learner to learn to write, it is essential to train them to be familiar to writing as a process so as to be more aware of not only 'what' to write but also 'how' to write. In such case, they learn to follow the steps of pre–writing, while writing and also post writing. Repetition of this practice in class will make peer editing a step of writing which is familiar to
Literature Review
Part One: Customer Satisfaction
2.1.1 Introduction to Customer Satisfaction:
Customer Satisfaction is one of the main topics rises recently. Before years there was a revelation of a customer service to concentrate on customer, to treat with him in a better way, to please and fulfill his demands of the customer. In order to achieve that, researchers analyzed the customer population then took random samples and after that generalized the results and came with procedures to treat and please the customers. The first thing is spark in the satisfaction of the customer concept added to the private sector, later applied to the other sectors.
Customer satisfaction represents a set of business processes touching on all aspects of...show more content...
Cheefy defined it as ' the extent to which a customers' expectations of product quality, service quality, and price are met.'
The reality of Customer Satisfaction is in the eyes of the beholder – the customer. And all about how to meet the expectation of those customers and even exceeding those expectations.
According to Business Dictionary definition it is 'the degree of satisfaction provided by the good or service of a company as measured by the number of repeat customers.'
Or it is "the number of customers or percentage of total customers, whose reported experience with a firm, its products, or its services (ratings) exceeds specified satisfaction goals." (Paul W. and others, 2010).
Customer satisfaction can be experienced in a variety of situations and connected to both goods and services. It is a highly personal assessment that is greatly affected by customer expectations. Satisfaction also is based on the customer's experience of both contacts with the organization and personal outcomes.
Some researchers define a satisfied customer within the private sector as "one who receives significant added value" to his/her bottom line–a definition that may apply just as well to public services. (Cengiz,
Editing Post-Production
Editing post– production is edited raw footage to cut scene, to insert transition, working with voice and sound of an actor. There's a lot of editing in post–production. There's picture edit offline and online edit, analogue, and digital edit, and audio edit. In editing, they using editing software examples like Adobe Photoshop, Adobe premiere pro, and final cut pro. Audio editing is happening between the actual recording transcription in a studio and in a studio and the completion of a master skipper recording. It involves sound design, sound figure, sound editing, audio mixing, and gain of an issue. The process of Editing, first pick an editing. Two ways it can be done, you can shoot your video and import it to your computer and you can start to edit your raw footage. Second, performed a rough cut by laying all your main footage trim the unwanted or extra footage. Add...show more content...
Offline editing, is the process of filmmaking and television and in which raw footage is copied and edited without affecting the camera original. Once it has completed by offline editing, the original media will be assembled in online editing. Editing is to structured and shows all information like television shows, film and a lot more. Photo editing is the changing of range. These images can be digital exposure, illustrations, prints, or photograph graphs on the moving–picture show. Some eccentric of editing, such as airbrushing, is done by hand and others are done using photo editing programs like Photoshop, Gimpiness and Microsoft Blusher. Photo editing is done for a reason. It used to complete new things and to tricks people eye. By editing the video, the film makes a good intense be it a sad movie or scary movie. Audio editing software is Adobe illustration, sound forge, and audio editor. Audio editing process record all audio, delete or edit gaps at beginning and end of a recording if any. Edit out any noticeable distracting breaths or other
My Portfolio: Video Review
After reviewing my portfolio, my best work would be video 6, the final. Compare to the other videos that I have done in the past, this video I was able to receive constructive criticism on how I signed, my mouthing, and any possible errors. At first, I thought the video was pretty good and we hit all the marks, but after seeing it from a different perspective, I knew it was bad. I knew exactly what to fix. We filmed the video for the second time and corrected the mistakes as best as we could, considering our busy schedules. With that said, I feel like video 6 has lots of potential. We actually had more fun filming it the second time than the first time because it hit us that this will be the last video ever we would do with each other. The worst video I have done would be video project 3, Audism Unveiled. That was a hard project for me. I had 4 exams and another project due the same week as the video. It was also really hard to schedule with the group since everyone had different schedules. We ended up filming the project really late into the night and I was running on 2 hours of sleep. I felt really bad and unprepared when we were filming. I made a lot of mistakes during recording and we kept having to do it over. It was not the best work we could have done on it but we did what we could with the time we had. I may not be a strong...show more content...
The feedback really helped me understand where my weaknesses are and how I should go about it. Sure there is always room for improvement and instead of feeling bad, I should be thinking of ways to better myself. I really want to become a better signer and be able to not think really hard about what I am doing and instead, have it come naturally. Lastly, thank you for being and awesome ASL professor and giving me the chance to experience new cultures and learn really cool things as I progressed through the
The Thing Film Analysis
The Comparisons and Contrasts of the films of The Thing and The Thing From another world
In respects to the Film of The Thing of both the 1951 and the 1982 versions of the film. They both share a same Sci–Fi theme in which they both had social fears of society. Depending on which version of the film, they both contrast in their social fears and themes. They also contrast in The alien itself from being a super intelligent carrot to an actual sinister like creature that both can manipulate or perfectly imitate humans. The story develops differently from both of the versions of the film that the effects of it leaves a big gap between the films.
The Plot of both the films are similar in which an alien invasion occurs and the alien is an...show more content...
Both the films differed in both the plot and the characters but resembled the same motive which was to prevent the thing being exposed to the world and cause total invasion to the world.
Following up the Thing itself; it differed a lot in both the films. It was depicted as an unstoppable force with intelligence and was a humanoid vegetable in the 1951 version. The John Carpenter's version took many shapes and forms as it actually demonstrated that it did imitate humans perfectly. For Example: The Scene where McReady was preparing the blood test, right as he was going to test Palmers blood, a co pilot of the outpost, resulted of him being the thing but before the blood test he talked, walked, and acted like a human being with same facial features. The Thing itself opposed as a threat to both the films as a lethal creature and its ability to copy itself to people and go about their day.
Concluding the Comparison and Contrast of both the films, the theme of both the film both differ from each time period it was filmed. The Sci–Fi theme of both the films could be that social fears of the era of the dates the films were both produced in. Such as the 1951 could correlate to the fear of communism in which the thing infiltrated their base and how the military could handle the situation in which they ultimately did and showcased scientists as greedy individuals. In the other hand, The 1982 would be the fear of the S.T.D. known as HIV which was an epidemic of the time in which
Peer Editing Reflection
For the college essay practice paper we peer edited, reread, sought instructor advice, and rewrote our essays until we felt that our paper was worthy of being turned in. By the end of the process we should have had a final draft which was almost completely different from our original copies. This process, in my opinion, is extremely valuable to the course as it is vital in order for incoming students to improve their writing abilities. Personally, the technique in the process which forced me to realize my mistakes on a broader level, more than any other step, was the one foot reading to find syntax errors and awkward diction which our brains skim over when simply rereading the essay. Peer editing, while still helpful, didn't seem as useful
Essay On Editing Drafting And Persuasion
The use of editing, drafting, and persuasion are all beneficial in the use of writing, but they also impact society by way of helping audience understanding. Drafting is the beginning, it's the opportunity to discover what you have to say and how best to say it (Murray). Editing is a way of correcting a piece over time to make writing less blocked so words will come more easily (Elbow). Persuasion is the reason to make a speech or publish a document –a document such as the Constitution– achieving what the author wants to say (Aristotle). The Constitution had a positive impact, written by James Madison and a group of others who took the time to draft, edit, and eventually persuade Congress to publish the document to the United States. Drafting can be a long antagonizing process, but in the long run it'll pay off like it did for the Constitution. There needs to be a focus on drafting including revising, editing, and reading (Murray) so that you're completely successful in eventually finishing a piece. It took the authors of the Constitution 5 months, from May 1787 until the signing in September 1787 (National Constitution Center) to achieve this. That shows that drafting can be a long process, but because of the positive outcome to the United States, drafting was just the beginning part of an impactful piece on society....show more content...
The one that applies to the Constitution is putting the audience into a certain frame of mind. The ratification of the Constitution gave the citizens of the United States a different mindset of things, such as what was legal or not, and what were the rights of others. But none of that would have mattered without persuasion. Without it, the Constitution would not have been ratified the way it was, written the way it was, or changed the U.S. the way it
CHAPTER II REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE Various literature, thesis, and theories were carefully read and studied by the researchers to synthesized and relate different scholarly articles, journals, and other reference material to the present study entitled Customers Satisfaction to the Service of Dasmarinas Water District. These related literature and studies gave concrete foundation to the research. Related Literature Customer and Service According to Okoli (2007), customer is anyone who approached the provider to satisfy his/her needs while service is the trade between provider and customer that has the responsibility to create or destroy the organization. In line with service is quality, which depend on the result of the customers' comparison between expectations about service and perceived performance (Islam, 2011). Service is different from product, and it is classified into three service dimensions, such as: intangibility, simultaneous delivery and customer participation (Ojo, 2011). For Proompow (2013), he defined service quality based on its important factors, where he stated that: "The important factors of the service quality form the word SERVICE. That is 'S' stands for satisfaction, 'E' stands for expectation, 'R' is readiness, 'V' is value, 'I' is Interest, 'C' is courtesy and 'E' is efficiency." Customer Service From the words customer and service, customer service means going beyond what is expected in doing ordinary way and adding value and integrity to
How Editing Creates Connections Editing is the process on which film editors select, combine and coordinate individual shots into a cinematic whole. In Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind, editing techniques are applied when Joel undergoes a procedure for erasing Clementine from his memory. To begin with, this scene shows techniques like cutting on action when Joel is looking at the objects that make a relationship with Clementine. The Jump cut is used to create an abrupt transition from the laboratory to Joel's bedroom; also, there is another jump cut from the real world to Joel's mind .Split screen gives the illusion that Joel is looking at himself while his on the laboratory. Editing creates relationships between shots by helping establish
My Video Editing Experience
A long time I decided to live the zombie life as a video editor and during that time I had to experience a lot of workflow to get good at it. In the beginning of learning it was difficult and there were so many different programs to edit with, but during the time I did not know about which were professional or not. For example, when I first started I used a program called Window Movie Maker, and without doubt it was not very useful since there were only limited tools that the program holds; Since I did not know any better at the time I easily continued to work with the program for a couple months, which was the most difficult start of my experience. For example, there were obstacles such as slow render, 15 effects or less, and very rigid transitions from clips to clips. When it came to actual editing, I was amateurish as well, but that's normal for anyone that's new to a hobby that they want to learn by experience; The way I synched the lyrics or beats to my clips were off at first, as well as the quality, which was poor. In fact, I did not even know how to discover a source to download the type of footage I worked with at the time. After 3 or 4 months of editing, I finally made my first friend that does the same hobby as me, and he then helped me locate high quality clips. My friend was from Germany and of course I was from the United States, so we both helped each other grow as editors as time passed, even as it was difficult we had fun
Peer Editing Analysis
The peer editing is to correct your paper from person who is in the same age or level and write their opinion about it. That can help you to have other view from someone's in your level. It was my first editing experience. I learned about something new in writing skills, which is how to edit other paper, and how to give them your opinion. Also, when I see other person paper, it helps me to think widely and gain more ideas about how to be a good writer also whom I can read my paper as critic to it. Moreover, it helps me to think correctly to give right advice to other person. Editing peer gives me chance to participate with classmate how she thought. Moreover, it was as a practice to my grammar when I correct my partner paper. I edited two papers

The CS rebranding also resulted in Adobe offering numerous software packages containing multiple Adobe programs for a reduced price. Adobe Photoshop is included in most...show more content...
Raster graphics deal more practically than vector graphics with photographs and photo–realistic images, while vector graphics often serve better for typesetting or for graphic design. Modern computer–monitors typically display about 72 to 130 pixels per inch (PPI), and some modern consumer printers can resolve 2400 dots per inch (DPI) or more; determining the most appropriate image resolution for a given printer–resolution can pose difficulties, since printed output may have a greater level of detail than a viewer can discern on a monitor. Typically, a resolution of 150 to 300 pixel per inch works well for 4–color process (CMYK) printing.
FILE FORMATS
PSD – (Photoshop Document)The PSD file extension is the file extension used in documents created using the Adobe Photoshop software. The Adobe Photoshop application is the most commonly used editing program for professional images. This program may include adjustment layers, image layers, annotation notes, layer masks, keywords, file information, as well as other specific elements of Adobe Photoshop.
EPS – Encapsulated PostScript, or EPS, is a DSC–conforming PostScript document with additional restrictions intended to make EPS files usable as a graphics file format. In other words, EPS files are more–or–less self–contained, reasonably predictable PostScript documents that describe an image or drawing, that can be placed within another
Embryo Editing Outline
BODY
I. What is embryo editing?
A. In order to edit embryos, you need to use a tool.
1. (..)Researchers have been developing tools since 1975 and throughout time Jennifer Doudna have developed a tool called the CRISPR–Cas9 (Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats– associated genes).
B. (...) Researchers can edit genes by ridding the faulty genes and replacing the lettering(coding) with the CRISPR–Cas9.
1. CRISPR–Cas9 is also known as genetic scissors. (...) While using the CRISPR–Cas9 researchers are basically cutting out the faulty mutation and correcting it.
2. Once you do the genetic screening you can proceed with the gene splitting and edit them efficiently. Gene splitting is done outside of the body, or preimplantation,...show more content...
According to The Guardian Now we can edit the embryo successfully so why should we do it.
II. Pros when it comes to embryo editing
A. When we look into curing or even reducing the frequency of viruses using the tool could make a huge impact on many lives.
1. US and the Korean team have given evidence basically saying that when you edit the genes with faulty mutations, you might not be able to fix them all the way but you can fix them from 50% to 70%. (...)
2. The US and Korean team can wipe out the faulty mutations from the sperm or the egg the virus might be gone forever.
B. There are thousands of viruses in the human body that can come from one faulty mutation. (...) This is a complex process because again there are thousands of viruses. When you have faulty genes the chances it will be passed on to your kids is right in the middle at 50%. (...)
C. With new tool parents could have their ideal or genetically enhanced children they may desire
1. The US and Korean team created 58 human embryos while using the CRISPR–Cas9 they were able to repair faulty genes up to 70%. (...) According to Quartz.
