Dani's Movie Spot
Art Director and Movie Editor:
Hello my name is Danielle Norris; I am the section editor for Movies for the magazine Undertone. This section is for bloggers who really enjoy movies no matter if their comedies, horror, action, thriller, romantic, and even gets into independent films otherwise known as indie films. This sections blog will be about some of the newest movies out and get really into the indie films, it will even include older movie topics. The blogs will also include favorite actors and actresses of today and the past. It will also include discussions on the Sundance Film Festival. Other discussions will include the greatest films and movies ever. We will also be blogging about the Academy Awards and the winners and losers. This section is for movie lovers everywhere who like to blog about their ideas about the movies and who’s, what’s, when’s, where’s, whys, and how’s of the movies.
My experience in this topic is what I know and what I love about movies. I love most movies and I love everything about them. It takes so much time and effort just to make a movie and get the right actors for the role, get the right light setting, get the right background, everything about it makes me smile and makes me want more and make me want to know more. Movies are visual and I am a visual person and I really enjoy the history of films and how they came about which is why I love watching really old black and white movies such as “The Kid” with Charlie Chaplin. The history about the first theaters is that were originally called Nickelodeons. Since then movies have come so far, and growing up watching old movies with my mom who loves movies like “Gone with the Wind” with Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh. Her favorite movies were usually ones with Cary Grant in it though like “To Catch a Thief” who also starred Princess Grace Kelly. My experience, knowledge, and love for movies made me want to be the section leader for this topic.

Culture with Ivry
Research and Culture Editor:

Hello my name is Ivry Thomas and I am ¼ of the Cultural enlighten magazine that is UnderTone. My positions in the magazine and blog are Research Editor, as well as the wonderful Culture Advisor. “Without culture, and the relative freedom it implies, society, even when perfect, is but a jungle. This is why any authentic creation is a gift to the future. “- Albert Camus That is just what our magazine and blog represents, going underneath the surface of what culture is portrayed to be and pulls and exposing the captivating form of culture.
Culture section of the blog allows individuals to gains a better understanding and enlightenment for those people who embrace cultures other than their own. This section of the blog is for the thrill seekers and adventurers who love to take chances with any aspect of culture. Those aspects being finding the latest food dishes in India to most eco-friendly way to create a body wrap in Brazil. Through this section there will be advices columns to how-to-do tutorials to help you figure the newest and most efficient tactics in culture.
I felt essentially drawn to culture because I have always tried to embrace it growing up, being half Panamanian and Black is kind of like two worlds colluding. Though both are of African descent, the two have completely different culture sets totally. With culture I always tried learn about why do females in Saudi Arabia keep their hair and face wrap, or how do Keya Natives generate certain tribal dances. I would always try to like at ads or commercials from different countries and compare and contrast. I would compare and contrast, well why do the ads in American for Revlon are completely different from the ones in Russia. (Restriction) Or how some countries place a completely different twisted on food aspects and their delicacies. “ Culture is the blood that’s streams through the vessels of our veins.” – Ivry Thomas
