I chose a scene from one of my favorite movies: Love & Basketball. The cuts in this scene are continuity editing. The scene begins with an action shot where Quincy scores a shot in his high school basketball game. After the shot, there is a graphic match shot of the crowd cheering for Quincy, then an eyeline match of Monica where we see her character reacting to the shot. From there, it cuts back to Quincy and the basketball game. The scene then cuts to Shawnee and Monica talking to one another using the 180 rule and a jump cut to Shawnee's friend as she chuckles from overhearing Shawnee's comment then there is another cut back to Shawnee and Monica talking. The scene cuts back to Quincy playing basketball and then again back to Shawnee and Monica's conversation where we see also see another eyeline match to show that Monica is concentrating on the game.

Born on the hottest day in the Summer of 1993... I was meant to conquer the world . Similar to Daenarys Stormborn, the unbearable weather is one of the defining elements of a natural born leader. I sometimes ask my mom if she remembers anything else about that day besides the dreadful weather and incomparable pain that she experienced; maybe the smell in the air on the way to the hospital or perhaps a song that played in the background? But... her response usually lacks the creative details. Perhaps the reason behind my thirst for the arts is my longing for a back story that mirrors Game of Thrones...who knows?  When I was younger, I longed for a creative talent. Although I was a soprano in my choir, my singing voice is far from exceptional. Drawing has always been a failed attempt. I was never the best dancer and I was much too shy to try my hand at theater.  But when I close my eyes, I see beautiful things. My creative mind makes up for the talents that I may lack. I'...
