PET RECYCLED IN TO TEXTILE MATERIAL
The document summarizes the process of recycling PET bottles into textile material called PSF (polyester staple fiber).

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.

Taken
- 1. TAKEN
- 2. BASIC INFO A retired CIA agent travels across Europe and relies on his old skills to save his estranged daughter, who has been kidnapped while on a trip to Paris. Director: Pierre Morel Released: 28th September 2008 Actors: Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace, Famke Janssen Gross Profit: $226,830,568 (Worldwide) (5 July 2009) Budget: $25,000,000
- 3. NARRATIVE CONVENTIONS FUN FACT: Over the course of the movie, Bryan kills 35 people in order to get to his daughter. Important Characters: Bryan Mills, Kim Mills, Kidnappers.
- 4. CAMERA Contrast: Pace of camera movement contrasts the action on the scene. Close Up: Of Kidnappers feet, shows a sign of mystery as we do not see their face. Low Angle Shot: Used on Bryan when speaking into the phones, shows the power and authenticity of his threat.
- 5. SOUND Diagetic: The diagetic sound of the music the daughter is listening to sets the mood as calm. Falls Silent: When she is under the bed when she thinks she’s safe suddenly they pull her out and she screams.
- 6. MISE EN SCENE Costume: Both Kindnappers and Liam Neeson are wearing black this symbolizes the danger they both pose. Lighting: The lighting where Liam Neeson is and his daughter is very contrasted, i.e he is in a dark room, she is in a brightly lit bathroom. Props: The mobile the girl carries is bright red., which is very stereotypical to her age group.
- 7. EDITING Parallel Editing: Between the father and his daughter. Fast Paced Editing: When she goes from the bathroom to the bedroom.
- 8. OUR OPINION Personally, we feel it is good as the tension and drama is built throughout the scene very subtly. This fits the codes and conventions of the thriller genre as the audience never knows the full story so it left wanting more therefore the keep watching to find out what’s happening. Liam Neeson takes the role of Bryan Mills and feeds a suspenseful enigma into the character. This is enhanced by the chiaroscuro at his location. Maggie Grace plays the key femme fatale (his daughter) adding a sense of innocence to the role. We feel this scene is bursting at the seams with codes and conventions key to the thriller genre therefore we give it the thumbs up
