Although this too has at least one amusing moment. There are also moments that can best be described as uncomfortable, as when Jesse takes Hector and Marisa and gate crash a party. The film works on one level or another.įor one thing, there are moments of humor, admittedly not many, but the scenes where Jesse discovers his “powers” prove to be quite funny. Whether it is the combination of white noise and muffled roaring that precedes each event or just the camera angles and the storyline itself. Admittedly, the film does deliver, despite the lack of originality issues, and it is creepy and unnerving. Still, they must be doing something right as evidenced by the gross profits. As creepy and stomach churning as this scene is, it has been done before in countless J-Horror and Asian horror films. He then goes to pull the same item out of his other eye. While the film does boast a few original thoughts, the way it tells the story suffers from a sincere lack of creativity.Īt one point, Jesse finds something in his eye, pulling the offending article out, it is revealed to be a long piece of black stuff. In this iteration of the verse, there are not many jump scare moments and the FX used in at least two of the scenes have been done elsewhere, V/H/S and Chronicle both used various versions of the flinging people about stunts seen here. Grossing enough profit for the filmmakers to justify their churning out more money making sequels till the public tire of them. The sad truth is, the films do deliver well enough in the terms of scares and entertainment. Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones (rather interesting for a title, presumably the producers thought that Paranormal Activity 5 was too obvious) could have closed the series off, even with its somewhat “open” ending. This franchise has turned into a veritable cash cow for anyone who wishes to continue the story. However, there is now another film, due out Octotitled, Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension and it looks like the verse is not done with sisters Katie and Kirsti. This all seems to bring the film back to its beginning. The group turn up at the same house featured in “4” and Hector ends up in the house from the first in the series where Katie is killing Micah. The trio ask Oscar’s brother, Arturo (Richard Cabral) to help them to stop what is happening to Jesse. Jesse and Hector enlist the help of Marisal ( Gabrielle Walsh) and they discover a world where babies are marked for possession in the womb. Another lad, Oscar (played by Carlos Pratts), murders Ana, and then dies himself. He develops powers and disturbing symptoms. Their downstairs neighbor Ana ( Gloria Sandoval) who is the local Bruja (witch) and the target of Jesse’s pranks and imagination.Īfter videoing the woman painting a symbol on a naked pregnant woman’s stomach, things begin to go weird for Jesse. The tapes are found in the apartment of the woman that the two friends have a fixation on. This version of the Paranormal verse has Jesse ( Andrew Jacobs) and Hector ( Jorge Diaz) who are best friends, getting involved with the verse and even though they find videos “Old School, Holmes” one says, they do not watch them. Confusing yes, but overall, the plot device is unobtrusive and only really becomes apparent in the final frames of the film. Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones, besides moving into the barrio “Holmes,” jumps forward to blend in with the time of Paranormal Activity, the first one. Each film moves forward along the time line, until “4” where they go back to the girls childhood. The film started with a young couple and then in Paranormal Activity 2 drifted to the young woman in the first film and her sister. While the franchise is still wildly successful, in terms of gross versus production costs, it has never reached the heights that the Peli original reached in terms of profit margin. Out of the sequels, only Paranormal Activity 3 matched the first in the series, making over $102 million gross but the film’s production costs had skyrocketed to $5 million. Peli bowed out after the first one, although he still gets credit in the writing area and as producer. The first film, written and directed by Oren Peli was made for the staggering low price of $15k and, to-date, has grossed over $102 million. Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones is the next in this long running franchise that started back in 2007 with a low/no budget production that starred largely unknown actors in a variation of the “found footage” genre.

So now when I run that and I want to see what the result of that is. And we'll say, we want y to be the result of calling square of 5, say. And we'll go ahead and make a new assignment to y. This is just a generic name that I've chosen to refer to any value that you pass in when you call square. And you'll also notice here that the fact that I used a variable named x doesn't have anything to do with this variable named x up here. That's again an attempt to help you by filling in that stuff. You'll notice that when I put in that initial brace that it put one in for me, kind of filling that out. So I'm going to say the square of x is what happens when you multiply x by itself and you get that result. I'm going to write a very small function that simply squares whatever value is passed in. So that starts with the function keyword and then we can give it whatever name we want. Let's do something a little more complicated. So the result of 3 x 3 is going to be 9 which is just like what we'd expect. And when I run it, when I press the Run Code button down here, I see the results over here in the See It window. And now I want to see the result of that computation, see if I've actually done something that is going to be what I expect. And I'm going to give that a value, As well, that's dependent upon x. Then I'm going to create another variable. The first thing I'm going to do is simply create a variable, name it x, and give it an initial value. So let's start writing some code and playing with it and just sort of seeing what happens. We've done that because we believe that it provides a better environment. This is what we've created for you to help you learn to do your JavaScript programming. Welcome to the Duke Learn to Program environment. Lastly, most programmers use environments like this to make the tasks of programming easier, whether it is CodePen, BlueJ, which we'll introduce when you learn Java in the next course, or. These pages are also set up to be preloaded with images and pseudocode for the problems that you can work on so that you have a good point to get started from. For this course, later we'll look at how to use them in CodePen. Of course, if you want to use them for your Web pages that you make elsewhere, you could import the libraries and use them in any Web page you build. These libraries make it easier to manipulate images without a bunch of nitty-gritty JavaScript knowledge. Instead, they are libraries that we have set up for you so that you can solve interesting problems earlier in your learning. Speaking of SimpleImage and SimplePixel, these are not standard JavaScript libraries. These make it easier to see your output and can also help you debug. We have also set it up so that you can print a variety of things, such as SimpleImages and SimplePixels. This will make it easier to fix syntax errors in your code or to find and fix problems. Okay, so why use rather than just writing your code in CodePen? For one, we have set up the Duke Learn To Program environment to give you more friendly error messages. In fact, if we had finished this code before we hit the run code, you'd see Drew and Robert appear with their dinosaurs. But if you were to finish this code, as we will do soon, the output would show up on the right here. Here, the code is not finished so not much would happen. If you click on this button at the bottom, it will run this code. This is a page for the green screen algorithm, where the box to write code is on the left, is preloaded with the algorithm that we have developed together in a previous video. Here, you can see a screenshot of the web environment for developing JavaScript code. If you want to write JavaScript for a Web page somewhere else, you can always use this environment to develop, your code then copy it into your Web page later. However, for getting you started, we have a slightly more novice friendly environment, which we hope will help you write and debug your code more easily. If you use some other tool to write a Web page, you can generally write JavaScript code in your Web page easily, though the specifics will depend on the tool. In CodePen, you can write JavaScript in the right frame, which we have highlighted here. Now that you're learning a bit about JavaScript, you might wonder where you would write it, or how you would run it.

We’re gonna do a screening, hopefully, out at Leadhills, but that’s only actually an hour from Edinburgh. In terms of the locations for the film, all of the locations, apart from when we went up and shot some landscape shots for a week, were within an hour of Edinburgh. Well, we haven’t, because we ended up… with the recce that I did, which was going back a long time now, about seven years, I went right up to the north of Scotland. Have you screened the film for any of the rural community locals you consulted? So they’re looking to differentiate the good stuff from the bad stuff, whereas I think there’s always been good genre movies and bad genre movies, in the same way that there’s good art movies and bad art movies. And I think that’s always happened, but elevated genre’s largely a term for people who don’t really think genre cinema should essentially be good – it should all be bad. But I think if you look at something like Deliverance, which I think is clearly a thriller, and a film like Wake in Fright or Straw Dogs or Southern Comfort, there’s always been genre movies made… the possible enormous strength of genre movies is you can hook an audience in through the genre and then lead them into territory that they’re not expecting often into serious territory. “There’s always been a sense that genre films are somehow not really real movies.”Īs someone who’s now directed a tense thriller and also programmed genre cinema events, what are your thoughts on the discussions surrounding ‘elevated genre’ cinema of late, particularly horror?Įlevated genre is a massively popular term at the moment and it’s popular within the industry because, and this is historical, I think there’s always been a sense that genre films are somehow anti-artistic or a little bit cheap or not really real movies. ‘Should I be rooting for them or not?’ But I was definitely looking to blur those lines. There’s no clear morality, really, I don’t think, in terms of any of the characters in the film, which hopefully leaves the audience in the middle to navigate that.įor me, perhaps one of the key bits is this kind of action sequence in the film about 50 minutes in, and if the audience is still rooting for the protagonists at that point – which, I think, from feedback so far, that they are, but in a slightly uneasy way. And I’ve always thought that dynamic’s a little unfair and I certainly wanted to do a bit of revisionism, so that I’ve balanced up the morality. It really helps.ĭeliverance was a huge influence on the film and I love that movie, but the one thing about Deliverance is that, in it, things are very heavily stacked in favour of the city folk who go out into the middle of nowhere. Having somebody like Jack definitely… in fact, I’ve shown clips to people when we were editing the film, I showed a short scene to a few people, like the bar scene, and people were immediately like, “I’m rooting for the blonde guy”, just because he’s got that kind of movie star charisma. And so I knew that the actor who played Vaughn, as well as being a really good actor to handle some of the more emotionally intense stuff, was also gonna have to be super charismatic. It was tricky ground because the worry with that is you have to be very careful that the audience are rooted in with your protagonists. Could you tell me about writing and directing the performances for that balance? Perhaps my favourite thing about the film is that everyone’s actions are understandable. We talk to about the influence of Deliverance and Wake in Fright, discussions of ‘elevated genre’, rising star Jack Lowden (Dunkirk), and the benefits of Netflix distributing the film. (You can read our review of the movie here.)Īhead of its global launch on Netflix this weekend, we spoke to Palmer at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, where the movie premiered, before winning the Michael Powell Award for Best British Feature Film – the first Netflix Original to win this prestigious prize. The debut feature from writer-director Matt Palmer, the Scottish Highlands-based thriller stars Jack Lowden and Martin McCann, and is one of the most scarily tense films – that’s not explicitly a horror movie – that we’ve seen for quite some time. If Calibre’s plot of two life-long friends fighting for their lives in an isolated country setting after a hunting trip gone wrong might seem a little familiar, the nuances to how the plot escalates are anything but. Details of these results are reported in this paper. And that has practical implications for activity in low Earth orbit. New observations by NASA and the ESA reveal it is evolving potentially splitting in two.

Now we could go directly to Google Reader, or use another compatible application connected to the service to get all our news and updates in the one place. With Google Reader we could “subscribe” to a site which would then be added to our Google Reader Feed, which also enabled us to organise and categorise different site feeds into folders. As you can imagine (or perhaps even remember!) this wasn’t a particularly efficient method of keeping up with the latest posts, or being notified that new articles existed on our favourite sites. Originally if we wanted to catch up with what people were writing on the web we would keep a series of browser bookmarks and go and visit each of the individual site directly. Having a single service that you added feeds to meant that all you needed was a Google “Subscribe” button in the tool bar of your web browser and you could add any website with an RSS feed. So instead of each application having to subscribe to it’s own RSS feeds, this was done once in Google Reader then you would connect your reader applications on your laptop or mobile device to the Google Reader platform and it would synchronise your read articles and favourites across different platforms and applications. Since its inception, the Google Reader platform has provided the feed aggregation service for many other independently developed apps. Google Reader was both a RSS reading website where you could read your feeds from within a web browser, and also a RSS feed aggregation platform that other developers’ RSS reader applications could access. Since multiple sites RSS feeds could be accessed from a single feed reader application, this quickly became a popular way of subscribing to websites so that people could read their articles as they were published, and feed readers were added into email clients and web browsers, so new articles could be delivered in whatever form works best for the user. The feed reeder would then go and fetch the latest copy of the RSS document from a website and display the articles contained in it in a human readable format. One simple method of “feed reading” is to use a desktop application called a “feed reader” into which we add the URL of a websites RSS document (its feed). Because of this continual and often automatic updates to a websites RSS document it is often called a “feed” something we can connect to and get information from. A RSS document includes text from each article, metadata such as publishing dates and authorship, and is saved with a. RSS stands for Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication and is simply a document on a website which is continually updated with information on it’s latest articles. This naturally led to an outcry from blog owners everywhere who relied on the service to get their writing out to their audience. Google Readers dominance continued until March 2013 when we were informed the service was being shut down, citing the reason of “ declining use”. When launched in 2005 their Reader service was available for free, and eventually become the sole RSS aggregation service after other paid for services became untenable. Over the years Google Reader has become the only RSS platform available. You can remove ads by paying $15/year.The news that Google would be killing their Reader service as of July 2013 was a surprise to many people, myself included! RSS is an internet technology that many people rely on to access news, blog articles, podcasts etc, and has been put to many other uses relating to the notification of available information and media. There are no upgrades and subscriptions but the platform is ad-supported, so there goes your data. The RSS service will let you subscribe to an unlimited number of sources for free.
