1)I am Outside and it is a sunny, bright day. I want to take a picture of a beautiful flower that is growing in my back yard. Before I do so I must adjust my camera for such a photo. First i turn on my camera using the power switch. Then turn my mode dial to manual. After that use the main command dial to change my shutter speed to 20, because there is no movement and I already have all the light that i need. I change my aperture to 5.6, so everything is in focus. Then my sub command dial to change to the lowest possible ISO (e.g 200), because I do not want it to have noise.Then while holding down the white balance button and moving the sub command dial, I then change the white balance to the picture of the sun which means sunny.



2)I am outside again, but this time the sun is setting. I want to take a picture of the landscape by my house. There is beautiful rolling hills and greenery.

“American dream or art world scheme?”

“American dream or art world scheme?” I believe the film does not answer this question for us, because there is no real evidence provided to show that she was either painting the pictures, or not. My own personal view is that it is a scheme, but some people refuse to think so. The director made this documentary to keep the audience wondering. He himself did not want to know the actual truth. It would be a tragedy if this little girl was forced to impress the media when she was only a small child. Her family seemed heartbroken over the segment of 60 minutes that had ruined their reputation therefore the director was trying to get their side of the story, and not be judgmental.This documentary does not answer the question "American dream or art world scheme?" It keeps you guessing what the true verdict is.

mood and movement

In the driving scene narrated by the directer he beggings with saying "This documentary has become something different", and indeed it had. This documentary was not only created to show how amazingly talented this young girl was, but to prove to society that it was real, and Marla was creating these beautiful abstract paintings herself. This documentary became personal after the Olmesteds put all of their trust in this reporter to belive them. After a horrible expeirience on sixty minutes the Olmsteds were thretend ,harrased, accused, and judged by people in their own nieghborhood, reporters, and anynomus people over the internet. I believe he decided to place himself in this video to voice his opinon about the sitiuation. He belived in the family, but yet had his doubts. He was courios as to what really went on behind closed doors.

The director says "I would rather be stupid and not know about this kind of stuff". By saying this he means he hopes that they are telling the truth and it would be horrible if they weren't, and if they were he would rather not know. They are such a kind family , and have been threw so much. He gets attached to the family and Marla personaly He also states that if they are liars they are really good ones.
