    When I was watching the movie, I noted how Andie portrayed the typical needy, emotional, and clingy girlfriend. She is representing what a normal girlfriend is expected to be. Another idea that I found interesting was when Andie was at the basketball game and she played clueless and uninterested in the game, when in reality she enjoyed watching basketball games. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Benjamin had claimed to his coworkers that he could get any woman to fall in love with him in 10 days. Therefore, Benjamin was being the opposite of how men usually act.

    In the film 12 Years a Slave the editor, Joe Walker, makes use of a couple of techniques and styles that adds to the film in its own way. Long shots – Joe kept the long shots as long as he thought was necessary to add to the subject matter and the feeling he wanted to bind with the story. At the end of the film there’s this extremely long shot where Solomon is practically staring at the camera for about a minute and a half. The timing of that shot is so perfect because it’s not too short so you don’t have enough time to think about what just happened or too much time to overthink the situation. Closer to the end of the shot he lets the sound fade slowly and rapidly gives you a wakeup call when the next shot starts off where Solomon and the rest of the slaves are busy working in the field.
