The Halloween Kid

Burgeoning filmmaker Axelle Carolyn showed a lyrical, controlled sense of cinema in her 2011 short film debut THE LAST POST. Now, the sometime actress, model and author have created another work of gentle, frightening craft in THE HALLOWEN KID.

The short film, features a rhyming, Edward Gorey-esque poem (penned by Carolyn) as its script and story: a tale of a poor, put-upon little boy named Henry who feels more akin to the supernatural creatures of his imagination than the cruel, narrow minded adults and children who perneates his world. But of course, Henry might not be as delusional as we think and, come Haloween, he found his only moments of respite amongst other kids, who are in fact, dead!

That's pretty much it as far as THE HALLOWEEN KID's narrative goes, but like THE LAST POST, the film is not about story, rather creating a tiny, perfectly realized universe that aims for more sensitivity than shock, more melancholy than morbid. The music is lovely and whimsical, as in the almost Boris Karloff-like narration by legendary Shakespearen dramatic Derek Jacobi.

THE HALLOWEEN KID shows even more promise from Carolyn, who wth this beautifully sculpted piece of work is one to watch, not just s a 'horor filmmaker', but as a quality director of movies, full stop.

 

Based on the text, the film has proven that Axelle Carolyn is ....

Faster planes and cheaper flight are making it easier than ever before for people to travel. In the most 'developed' societies, visiting exotic places is a sought-after status symbol. The tourism industries of both developed and developing countries have recognised this fact and are learning to take advantage of it.

There are, however, some problems associated with this new industry. Firstly, there is the increasing crime rate. Some locals see tourists as an easy prey because, not only are they in unfamiliar territory and therefore less able to tke cre of themselves, but also they carry visible items of wealth, such as cameras and jewerly which can be disposed of quickly for profit. 

Another major problem is health. With greater mobility cornes greater danger of spreading contagious diseases around the world. One carier returning home could easily start an epidemic before their illness was diagnosed. Moreover, the emergence of many diseas which resist antibiotics is causing scientists to be increasingly concerned about this issue.

Also to be considered is the natural environment, which can be seriuosly threatened by too many visitors. Australia's Great Barrier Reef, for example, is in danger of being destroyed by tourists and there are plans to restrict visitors to some of the more delicate coral cays.

These are just three of the reasons why any country should be wary of committing itself to an extensive tourism development program.

Each keyboard uses a series of switches to provide messages to the computer. The keys are nested on rubber dome switches that contain crbon in the center. This causes each key to be pressed down and come right back up when you do not press it anymore. Keyboard contain anywhere between 80 to 110 keys, but there could be more. The keyboard also has a microprocessor, to respect the frequency with which signals are passed. Regadless of how sophisticated your keybord is, keyboards generally use the same system for transmitting signals to the computers that they are attached to.

When a key is pressed, the rubber dome switch pushes down on the circuit board, making its center carbon contact touch the circuit, completing an electrical circuit. This instructs the keyboard to send a signal. Signals from the keyboard continue to be sent at a certain frequency, regulated by the microprocessor. Keyboard have internal circuit boards, meaning it must pull power somewhere. Wether a keyboard uses  USB cable or a PS/2 cable, when the computer detects a keyboard connected, it will supply to the keyboard through the cable. Wireless keyboards work differently in that they are powered by an internal battery. The wireless portal is powered by the computer, and a signal is shared bertween the two devices, using infrared, radio or Bluetooth technology. However, wireless keybords are similiar to wired keyboards in that they both have a similiar structure, sending signals when a circuit is completed on their circuit boards. The only difference is how the signal reaches its destination.
