X was elected the President of Vienna’s oldest investment
  bank and was also the finance minister of his country
  after the Great War. He set himself three goals in life:
  To be the greatest _______ in the world, to be the best
  horseman in all of Austria and the greatest lover in all
  of Vienna. Despite his social prominence the Viennese
  press noted that : “His lifestyle was as extravagant as a
  lord's . . . . He was as careless of his reputation as he
  was of his money. In response to a business associate's
  warning about appearing in public with prostitutes, he
  rode up and down . . . a main boulevard in the inner
  city . . . with an attractive blonde prostitute on one
  knee and a brunette on the other."
• Y was a homosexual and had a string of scandalous lovers
  during his heyday although he married a Russian ballerina
  for social purposes. Y's Civil Service career began in
  October 1906, as a clerk in the India Office. In 1909 Y
  published his first professional economics article in
  the Economics Journal, about the effect of a recent global
  economic downturn on India. In 1911 Y was made editor of
  the Economic Journal. By 1913 he had published his first
  book, Indian Currency and Finance.
• Both X and Y had great mutual respect for each other and
  when Y’s masterpiece came out in 1936, X by then the
  senior member of Harvard economics faculty, told his
  students to read the book and told them also that Y's work
  had totally superseded his own earlier writings on money.

• The dolly zoom is an unsettling in-camera effect that appears to
  undermine normal visual perception and is now part of
  many cinematic techniques used in filmmaking and television
  production.
• The effect is achieved by using the setting of a zoom lens to adjust
  the angle of view (often referred to as field of view FOV) while the
  camera dollies (or moves) towards or away from the subject in such
  a way as to keep the subject the same size in the frame throughout.
  In its classic form, the camera is pulled away from a subject while
  the lens zooms in, or vice-versa. Thus, during the zoom, there is a
  continuous perspective distortion, the most directly noticeable
  feature being that the background appears to change size relative
  to the subject.
• This has a highly unsettling effect on the viewer and the emotional
  shock is even greater. This effect is also popularly known as the X
  effect due to its famous use in the movie X by the director Y.

  • 155. 18. Id X and Y(full points only) • The dolly zoom is an unsettling in-camera effect that appears to undermine normal visual perception and is now part of many cinematic techniques used in filmmaking and television production. • The effect is achieved by using the setting of a zoom lens to adjust the angle of view (often referred to as field of view FOV) while the camera dollies (or moves) towards or away from the subject in such a way as to keep the subject the same size in the frame throughout. In its classic form, the camera is pulled away from a subject while the lens zooms in, or vice-versa. Thus, during the zoom, there is a continuous perspective distortion, the most directly noticeable feature being that the background appears to change size relative to the subject. • This has a highly unsettling effect on the viewer and the emotional shock is even greater. This effect is also popularly known as the X effect due to its famous use in the movie X by the director Y.
