Some conventions of cinematic storytelling would be the fish eye's angle that the film would use on characters that are focused on at the time. I believe th...

  Hello everyone, my name is Justin Brown and I am a sophomore here at North Central College. I am currently doing a double major in Business Economics and Accounting and wrestle here as well. I have wrestled since I was in 6th grade but I also have other hobbies such as skating, reading, and a small amount of gaming with friends. I live in Bolingbrook, Illinois which is about a 20 minute commute to North Central everyday. I currently live with my grandparents but I do have 3 other half-siblings.
