High and Low

After reflecting on Blackfish, I began to analyze how the director organized the best and worst parts of the film.  In other words, I created what I thought were the highest and the lowest point of the film and where they meet.  As the film lead into its highest point, Gabriela Cowperthwaite, the director, displayed Dawn Brancheau as one of Sea World's top trainers.  The film described Dawn with several great qualities through interviews with those who had worked with her.  She was a hard working, talented, and bright employee who loved her career.  It was described that Dawn had fulfilled her life purpose.  The film's lowest point was then fused with its highest.  Dawn passed away in a horrific, violent attack from the orca she trained, Tilikum.  This tragedy was the lowest point of the film as it was sorrowful beyond belief.  Sea World's best trainer, Dawn, had passed away in such an appalling accident.  The inspiring Dawn has left a mark on the world and there are events today that take place in her memory.
