We see the Sun appear to rise in the east and set in the west. Actually, the Earth is spinning rotating on its axis so it is our view of the Sun in the sky that changes during each hour cycle of light and dark. We see the sunrise when our location on Earth spins towards the light of the Sun. As the Earth continues to spin, we see the Sun higher in the sky. As the Earth spins away from the light, we see the sunset. When New Zealand is in darkness during the night, the opposite side of the world is in sunlight.
During the summer, our location is tilted towards the Sun, so our midday shadows are very short. During the winter, our location is tilted away from the Sun, so our midday shadows are longer.
The student activities Investigating shadows , Investigating shadows and the position of the Sun and Investigating shadows using transparent, translucent and opaque materials offer engaging ways to explore the science of light and shadows.
The article and interactive cover the science notes provided in the original BSC book. Light and sight — introduction curates Hub resources on light. The articles and media provide useful background information. The activities are a mix of hands-on and literacy-based investigations. The article Alternative conceptions about light and shadows points out a few of the erroneous conceptions young people may hold about light.
Being aware of common alternative conceptions helps educators to identify them when they surface in discussions and provides an opportunity to scaffold change. Download the Word document for the activity Using shadows to build 3D images.

The character looks so cool with his black hat and trench coat, with his twin guns! Comic book fans had to imagine everything back in those days, which is quite cool when you think about it! There was this aura of mystery to these old radio shows that was just awesome, they were very atmospheric, very spooky.
And this is something that this film effectively translated to the silver screen. On this film The Shadow inhabits a dark, seedy New York City filled with art deco buildings and big band dance clubs.
Well, these are films that usually take place in urban settings a city , at night and crime, sex and violence usually figure into the story one way or another. So The Shadow brings all that mystical mystery from old film noir back to the silver screen.
Keeping in line with one of the requirements of a film noir, the hero is doomed somehow, he has a dark side, and The Shadow most certainly has that in spades. The Shadow knows what evil lurks in the hearts of man because he himself has to keep that evil side of him under control, he was once ruthless, once cold, he has a constant battle with his inner demons.
One wonderfully awesome dream sequence has Lamont Cranston actually ripping his face off and revealing the villains face underneath! Speaking of The Shadow himself, what a wonderfully spot on casting decision it was to put Alec Baldwin in this role! The rest of the cast is equally great. She looks amazing playing Margo Lane. She wears these silky dresses that look amazing on her, especially in dream sequences! In fact, if we get down to it she plays an important part in saving the day, I liked that about this movie.
The damsel actually becomes something of a threat to The Shadow! But so what, this movie is more about the look and feel then the brains behind it. The film was written by David Koep and I have to admit, his dialog was interesting, funny, it kept me entertained. Koep wisely keeps things light by spreading jokes in the dialog to liven things up, so be alert for a lot of word play. May I ask where you acquired it? Russell Mulcahy brings a visual flare to the film by adding lots of interesting camera angles and gimmicks to keep things visually interesting, the production has a lush quality to it as well.
I think he was an excellent choice to direct this film. Speaking of visually interesting directors, Sam Raimi expressed interest at one point to direct yet another Shadow film, in fact he stated that he owns the rights to the character, unfortunately, the last he said on that subject was that a good script had not been produced yet, and so, as far as I know, that idea has been shelved.
Maybe one day, a hip young director will find a way to make a Shadow film that can connect with modern audiences by somehow bringing The Shadow into the modern age. The Shadow works best in that era, working the dark, seedy city streets, hiding in the shadows, cackling away at the bad guys from the nothingness…around every corner, in every empty room, as inevitable as your guilty conscience.

Speculation based on Michael Jackson's song Black or White. It's been a while since I saw the movie, but I always asumed it was make up and the transformation of the face was CGI, using the morphing effect introduced in Terminator This Scene was made using morphing.
Usually made with cross-fading and later for the last 30 years computers not CGI. But in the scene when Shadow morph in the taxi for the first time I think it's only makeup and montage.
One of the first box office attempts at facial substitutions was in the surf movie, The Blue Crush, in , to paste Kate Bosworth's face on a stuntwoman doing the surfing. The results were still quite poor in Sign up to join this community.
