In an apartment above Fifth Avenue, some thirty young people live in a vortex of drug addiction and despair. In The Ninth Floor, Jessica Dimmock enters this world, exploring, in human terms, what has been lost and what may be recovered. See the project at http://mediastorm.com/publication/the-ninth-floor
The Ninth Floor is a film about drug addiction from the design film Mediastorm. It talks about drug addiction by showing the lives of different people in New York City who struggle with addiction. Joe Smith was the owner of the apartment on the ninth floor by fifth ave. Then a couple more people started living there. When no one was able to pay rent the owner Joe just asked them for drugs. The film starts with them as users and follows them trying to change and become sober.
Watching this film and viewing the life of a drug addiction was upsetting. It saddened me to see these people have so much to do in life yet they waste it by doing drugs that can kill you. Watching the couple Dionn and Rachel do methadone together while she was pregnant was depressing for the fact that she could have killed the baby, but luckily the baby came out wonderful, healthy and great. I believe that they will change the way they are since they brought a beautiful baby in the world. They're still trying to stop and change the way they are for a better future for their child. Another lady that was addicted to the drugs her name was Jessie. She seemed like she wasn't able to stop for the simple fact she was trying to get the feeling she first had when she did it. Watching her go in and out of the hospital wasn't what I've expected from her. I thought she would be out of that for good so she can have something good in her life, make a change for once and motivate others to stop. I hope that in the future she is working on getting her life back on track and make something of it.
I thought the film was shot in a different way. Instead of moving images it used photos with people talking over the photos. It's not something I'm used to seeing. The photos did something unique, I could see what they were going through while hearing their thoughts. Also, the music in the background was depressing but it was the perfect setting and gave us the audience to watch and be more interested in the film.
This was such a great description of the video, I totally agree with you with the music in the background, very depressing.

ReplyDeleteYour grammar and punctuation are in the right places. You were really descriptive and did a good job. :)
ReplyDeleteThis was a great post, your paragraphs are all about one topic. You should read through it a little slower, you have some grammatical errors. Other then that you sound professional and its great!
ReplyDeleteI love how you portioned the description of the film in different topics you were talking about of the film, like one with the camera views and pictures. And another was of your opinion on the film. I agree that it's a very depressing story, although I think you should have put more of your description of the film, because I wanted to get more of the film from your view.
