Food labeling

Lactose Intolerance:

First fact -
  1. Being lactose intolerant is different from being allergic to milk. Intolerance is the inability to digest the lactose sugar found in milk due to the lack of lactose enzyme, whereas the allergy is a reaction to the milk protein.
Second fact - 
  1. People with lactose intolerance can still eat cheese! Foods like butter and natural cheeses contain a small amount of lactase, which can be tolerable for some.
Third fact - Lactose intolerance is usually caused by a deficiency of an enzyme in the body called lactase.


__________________________________________________________________________________________
Then make a statement about why food labels are relevant for people that suffer from these allergies. What will they be looking for on labels?

Food labels on product are one of the top things people tend to look for, because they're searching to see if this product contains stuff they're allergic to. I think this is needed because it can help a person with allergies know that they should or should not buy this. Examples they will be looking for is, dairy, wheat, nuts, and more.

Here is my own food label I created for chocolate chip cookies.

I consider using these film techniques!

Have you ever wondered if your whole life was a t.v show? Well in the film, The Truman Show, that thought became a reality for Truman. Directed by Peter Weir, this film had many film techniques, the two I will be discussing in my essay are diegetic and non-diegetic sounds.

The boat traveled across the sea, that seemed as if it was real. Truman got cozy. Just when the boat was getting closer to the wall, the shadow was expanding. "Boom, bang," these were one of the diegetic sounds that were used in The Truman Show film. If you have no idea what this techniques is all about, it's basically about sounds that looks like it's coming from the film, which it is. In many movies there are a lot of this one technique that has been used. A diegetic sound is used just like a normal sound effect, examples are, talking, footsteps, or even a car starting.

"Say something, God dammit you're on television" He asked loudly. Truman stared upwards and answered, "In case I don't see ya, Good afternoon, Good evening, and Goodnight." *Graceful music starts with fast pace* A tear came running down Sylvia's face while she cheered when Truman walked through the black door of freedom. *Music ends*. This Happened at the very end of the final scene, and the technique used in this scene was, non-diegetic sounds. It is indeed the opposite of the first techniques, which means, sounds like background music are all added in while editing. How it's used, is the music or sound will need to suit the reaction, emotion of the people in the scene, or even the moment.

To sum this all up, a diegetic sound are sound effects that happen during the scene. A non-diegetic sound is a sound that is added in while editing. In movies they use more than just these two techniques. They use different types of camera shots, camera angles, and camera movements. So, in order to make a movie you need to use a variety of different techniques. Will you consider using these techniques?
