The British film industry has experienced periods of growth and decline throughout its history. In the late 19th century, Britain began participating in the emerging film industry. However, World War I negatively impacted British film production as tax rates increased. The 1950s saw the influential Free Cinema movement reinvigorate British documentary filmmaking and influence the British New Wave of the late 1950s and 1960s. Ealing Studios dominated the 1950s British film scene with popular comedies like The Ladykillers. The 1960s saw the beginning of the highly successful James Bond franchise with Dr. No, establishing conventions for action and spy films.
1. Horror movies are often set in isolated places like large houses in wooded areas to induce fear in viewers. Successful films like The Conjuring and Insidious use these settings effectively.
2. Directors use camera techniques like point-of-view shots and handheld footage to increase tension by obscuring what is happening and mimicking the monster's perspective. Close-ups also heighten emotion.
3. The Exorcist was controversial upon release for its portrayal of possession but its themes of good versus evil and its unsettling realism left even sceptics shaken. Some viewers had such extreme reactions that some cinemas banned it.
The document describes sound effects created for a hovercraft, space gun, critters, and light saber. For the hovercraft, an oscillator was used with a phaser and distortion to make it sound futuristic and fuzzy. Critters sounds used reverb and strum effects on a gremlins sample. The light saber was most difficult, using distortion and phaser on a static TV sound with a small sample.

The scene analyzes the poker scene from the film "Training Day" between two police officers. Cinematography is used to portray one officer, Alonzo, as more powerful through low camera angles, while the other officer, Jake, seems inferior through eye-level shots. As they walk through a gang-populated neighborhood, gang members are shown separately in shallow focus, making the officers seem unwelcome. Jake appears fearful as he turns to look at a gang member who comments, showing he feels less threatened than Alonzo. The director aims to make the audience worry for Jake's safety and connect with his character through the visual techniques.
The shower scene in Psycho uses various camera techniques and angles to create tension. It includes many mid-shots and close-ups of the character's facial expressions to emphasize her frantic emotions. Point-of-view shots allow the audience to experience the scene from the victim and killer's perspectives. Non-diegetic sounds like music and attack noises heighten the intensity. The character's nakedness makes her vulnerable, while quick edits between close-ups add to the ferocity of the violent attack.

1) African Americans are incarcerated at far higher rates than whites in the US criminal justice system. Though they make up 32% of the population, they represent 56% of prisoners. Drug use rates are comparable between African Americans and whites but African Americans face harsher penalties.
2) Ethnic minority graduates in Britain face significant employment barriers compared to white graduates, including lower job placement rates and long-term salaries. Discrimination plays a role in limiting opportunities.
3) Social mobility efforts in Britain have failed to significantly reduce wealth inequality despite decades of intervention. Continued inaction risks widening social and economic divisions in society. Muslims also face barriers to full employment due to discrimination.

The history of computers began around 2000 years ago with the invention of the abacus. In the 1940s, during World War 2, governments began funding the development of early computers like ENIAC to help with weapons development and calculations. The first programmable, general-purpose, electronic digital computer was the Manchester Small-Scale Experimental Machine, which ran its first program on 21 June 1948. Major advances in the 1970s included the invention of the hard disk drive and the first operating system for microcomputers, CP/M. By the 1990s, advances in integrated circuits made computers much smaller, cheaper and more accessible to the public.
