[SOLVED] Sequence Analysis

The assignment asks you to consider the scene in isolation from the rest of the film. You may watch the entire film if you wish, but you will be graded on the precision with which you are able to describe the sequence and the quality of your ideas about its possible meanings. Your task, then, is twofold: 1) to describe what you see as clearly as possible (you do not need to use filmic terms); and 2) to explain what it might mean (literally, thematically and symbolically).

[SOLVED] Elevision in Cultural Transition

Please respond to this week’s screenings, readings, and lecture materials in an organized post that cites specific details from the programs and articles under discussion. You do not have to talk about all the texts for this week but should actively engage two (2) screenings (choose from East Side/West Side, “No Hiding Place”; The Mary Tyler Moore Show, “Love is All Around”; All in the Family, “Lionel Steps Out”) and at least one (1) reading (Aniko Bodroghkozy’s “Negotiating Civil Rights in Primetime” AND/OR Jane Feuer’s “The MTM Style”) – please write about the texts that you find most interesting or compelling. Below are a few questions that you may opt to address (though you are welcome to reply in any way that makes sense and about other topics not posed here): How does East Side/West Side (1963) differ in its tone, narrative conceits, or aesthetic sensibilities from the 1950s programs from last week and/or “relevance sitcoms” from the early 1970s? How does Bodroghkozy discuss the program as either approaching or failing to meet FCC chairman Minow’s mandate to “elevate” TV programming? What are some of the limitations, possibilities, and social consequences inherent in trends toward “relevance” programming during the 1960s and 1970s? How do our authors locate contradictions within the political logics of both 1960s social dramas and 1970s “relevance sitcoms”? Where in the episodes does the messaging seem most pronounced and/or most confused/convoluted? Which characters do these programs narratively privilege (with whom are we, as viewers, emotionally and or/ideologically aligned) and why/how so? How does this identification (or lack thereof) affect the episodes’ social/political discourse? How do All in the Family and The Mary Tyler Moore Show reflect (or not) the branding conceits of their respective production companies, Tandem Productions and MTM Enterprises? How do the aesthetic and narrative logics of these two episodes speak to their modes of political address? Which viewers do the shows seem to target and why/how?

[SOLVED] Big Lebowski

Discuss one theme from BIG LEBOWSKI and illustrate how the formal elements (mise-en-scene [costume, hair make-up, props, set, composition], camera, [camera angle, shot size, camera movement, subject movement, lighting, etc.]) and the narrative (story, plot, dialogue, characterizations, etc.) reinforce that theme? Discuss only one theme from one movie — focus on the formal elements that express this theme.

[SOLVED] Todays Pandemic, COVID19

We are to submit a 2000 word report on the movie Contagion (2011). We’re encouraged to be creative in our approach. The report may take any form/approach we wish – I have decided to build a website. I am very tech savvy with websites. The aim of the report is to be accessible to the general public while relying on scientific research and reflection. The goal of the report/website is to communicate to the public how we should proceed with addressing COVID-19 by connecting with the general public via a discussion of a popular film (Contagion). The report/essay must answer the following questions. 1. Provide a summary of the film you reviews. 2. Identify the similarities and differences of the pandemic in the film when compared to the COVID-19 pandemic. 3. Identify one thing the film accurately portrayed and one thing the film inaccurately portrayed about how the public responds to the pandemic in the film relative to how the public has responded to COVID19 4. Critically reflect on how the film portrayed the outcome/resolution (e.g., how was the situation dealt with), and whether or not the film’s representation can be justified scientifically. We do not expect you to dive deep into the science, but instead to do some basic research and to rely on the knowledge you already know about COVID-19. Using the film as a “launching point”, communicate two strategies you think that can be adopted to address COVID19 over the next months that are unique or build upon existing strategies. I just want a 2000 word report that answers the 4 questions (perhaps 500 words for each answer). I would use the report in a creative approach later by creating it into a website. Using the ideas and format from the report.

[SOLVED] Steve Trevor is a Feminist

In the movie Wonder Woman (2009) directed by Lauren Montgomery, the audience is presented with the princess of the Amazons and embodiment of American pop culture feminism, Diana, Queen Hippolyta’s daughter in the DC comic.  She is depicted as being made of sand by her mother, and brought to life by the gods, particularly Hera, of the ancient Greek pantheon.  After Steve Trevor, a womanizing Air Force pilot who crash lands on Diana’s homeland of Themyscira, the Amazon queen holds an Olympic like contest to identify the Amazon most fit to escort Trevor to his homeland, the USA.  Hippolyta forbids Diana from participating, fearful that Diana will succumb to Trevor’s masculine charms and face ruin, as Hippolyta once did when the god of war, Ares, betrayed her.  After winning the competition, the Diana and the rest of the Amazons learn that Ares escaped his bonds with the help of Persephone, a traitor to her people, when she kills Alexa, her partner in guarding Ares that day, and is wreaking havoc upon the world. Artemis, the fiercest Amazon besides Diana, still blames Alexa for “allowing” herself to be murdered, stabbed in the back by her sister, Persephone. With Trevor by her side, Diana, now Wonder Woman, eventually dispatches Ares, saving the world from his unquenchable wrath and unholy influence.  Since Trevor is depicted as a womanizing “dog,” yet with Diana trusting him, the audience, and you, the writer, is faced with a question: is Steve Trevor, Wonder Woman’s sidekick and love interest, actually a feminist?  If so, how?  If not, why? Be sure to pick three key scenes to argue your main claim, such as the scene in the alley; the hospital scene, and another of your choice; say, the end scene when she prepares to battle her arch-enemy, Cheetah, and rebut a counter-argument for each claim.              Write a five paragraph, four to five-page essay in MLA format arguing your stance.  Think of yourself as a writer for an arts review section of a college magazine or newspaper, and that your audience is made up of students and faculty.  Print a copy to read aloud from and to write on with a pen for workshop! Make certain you include a Works Cited section that lists the film, and anything else you might quote within the text of your essay

[SOLVED] Movie “Psycho”

Discuss Mise-en-Scene as it applies to the movie “Psycho”; specifically mention aspects of the sets, the costumes (clothing) and makeup, the lighting, and the movement of the actors in certain scenes in the film. ex 1) The Mise-en-Scene in the movie Psycho is dark and uses low dimmed lights to create a certain scenery. Like when we find out he killed his mother and she has been stored away below them the entire time. The lighting around her is dark but when we get the turn around and realize its a skeleton, the adding of one lamp light above them really makes it more epic. The shower scene is also a time where they use lighting to create a scenery. When we see a shadow creep up on the tub shower hanger, because its dark it seems ominous and we therefore have our guard up. If that scene was made with color I truly think the emotions one feels while watching is different. Most of the set is dark and gives a suspicious or mysterious vibe. Norman bates movement had to be crucial because he not only has to be himself, but he must also act like his mother. We catch a glimpse of this when he puts on her clothes and act like her.   ex 2) The way the aspects of Mise-en-Scene apply to the film Psycho contribute to what makes it a well-known, classic horror film. A majority of the film takes place on a nearly deserted hotel run single handedly by Norman Bates. The set of the film can make audiences feel uneasy by understanding that no one would be around to help the characters if something were to happen to them. Lightning also contributed to giving characters a sense of what kind of person they were, like Norman’s face being only half lit to show his split personality, and Marion Crane’s face being lit up to show her intentions with the money had changed. Staging also helped Norman’s personalities be revealed from him sitting comfortably in his seat and making friendly conversation with Marion, to him sitting straight up and speaking very defensive to her. Lastly, costumes were an important aspect in the film by having Norman dress like his deceased mother to give the illusion of her committing the murders.
