The document summarizes different approaches to translating texts from one language to another. It discusses Friedrich Schleiermacher's view that a translator should either move the reader toward the original writer or move the original writer toward the reader. It notes that Schleiermacher favored moving the reader toward the writer by providing the same experience as reading the original text. The document also provides an example of a poem by Miguel Hernández translated into English.
The document discusses the process of film production from development to distribution. It notes that film production requires significant financing to fund all stages of development, production and distribution. The key roles of producer and financier are discussed. Producers are responsible for securing financing, overseeing the project and ensuring it meets the expectations of financiers. Securing financing is a lengthy process that can take years and involves creating packages to convince multiple investors to fund production costs in the hopes of generating profits.
1) The document analyzes and summarizes the filmmaker's short horror film called "The Chalet".
2) The film tells the story of three teenage friends who go to make a film near an abandoned house based on a supposed murder that occurred there. They soon discover their imagination has become a dark reality.
3) The analysis discusses how the film uses techniques like sound, editing, and cinematography to build tension and establish its horror genre. Elements like ominous music and isolating the characters contribute to its unsettling aesthetic and align the viewer with the characters' fear.
1) Short films are typically under 40 minutes and focus on a simple idea or message in a concise way. They allow ideas to be expressed quickly.
2) The documentary "Lost" follows a man struggling with dementia as he believes his wife is missing, but the audience learns it is his memories that are lost.
3) The film uses poetic transitions between scenes and manipulated storytelling to reflect the experience of dementia and create confusion similar to the protagonist.
This document provides an analysis of a short film titled "Contact" made by the filmmaker. The film is about a young woman who encounters a mysterious presence when she arrives home alone. It falls under the horror genre with elements of psychological horror and science fiction. Through cinematography and editing techniques, the filmmaker aims to create a sense of tension, isolation, and ambiguity without dialogue. An open ending is used to leave the resolution ambiguous and require an active interpretation from the audience. The analysis discusses how genre conventions, visual style, narrative structure, and audience reception were considered in the film's production.
1) Short films are defined as original motion pictures under 40 minutes that are often screened at film festivals. They must draw audiences in quickly by compressing narratives and are more likely to have open endings that leave questions.
2) The student's short film "Luna" falls under the crime mystery genre about a girl searching for her missing cousin. It uses unconventional editing between dream sequences and reality to explore themes like life and death.
3) The film has an open ending through the use of an "enigma code" where the audience is left questioning what happened to the missing cousin, similar to other short films analyzed. This leaves room for different interpretations of the narrative.
The document provides an analysis of Evie Stylianou's short film "Dear Tony". It summarizes that the film tells the story of a cancer patient Grace on her physical and metaphorical journey. It uses elements of dark comedy early on before transitioning to tragedy. The film borrows techniques from documentary like breaking the fourth wall. It follows Grace chronologically on one day using jump cuts between locations. Visual elements like muted tones and the increasing use of the color green are used to reflect Grace's internal struggle and decision to reject treatment. The analysis discusses how various techniques were used to elicit an emotive response from audiences and effectively tell the story within the short time frame.
The document provides an analysis and summary of the short film "The Lottery" by the filmmaker. It discusses the film's narrative structure, characters, themes, filming techniques, and reception. The film uses surreal elements and nonlinear storytelling to depict a man whose life changes when he wins the lottery but squanders the money due to arrogance. It was influenced by other short films and combines drama with comedy. Audience feedback was positive about the characters, story, and visual effects, though some found the plot predictable. Overall the filmmaker was pleased with the technically challenging project and how it brought the comedy to life.

- The document discusses a short psychological thriller film created by the author that follows a male character's daily routine which is disrupted by a female character.
- The film uses montage editing to show the passage of time and develop the characters' repetitive routines. It also incorporates audio motifs and leaves some elements, like what is in the basement, ambiguous.
- At the end, it is unexpectedly revealed that the female character, not the male, is the one who attacks the man, playing with audience expectations of the "serial killer" character type. The open ending leaves the audience to imagine what happens next.
1) Short films have a specific structure that focuses on conveying a story with succinct scope. They allow creative freedom and the chance to be discovered.
2) The student made a short film called "Unexpected Item" on a low budget using natural lighting. It tells the story of a boy ambushing his friend to tell a joke story.
3) The film uses shifts in color tones, editing styles, and an unreliable narrator to create comedy and suspense, surprising the audience with a twist ending like other similar short films. The audience responded positively to the film.
Crystal Chan analyzes several short films and her own short film "Happy Birthday" in relation to short film conventions. She discusses how her film conforms to conventions like runtime, natural lighting, location filming, and character development. Her film tells a coming-of-age story through a series of flashbacks from the perspective of the female protagonist. She uses techniques like color grading and editing to convey emotion and establish tone. While her film has a resolution, some discussed shorts like "Echo" and "Operator" end without resolution, a convention more common in short films.
The document provides an analysis of the film "The Exam" in comparison to other short films based on various criteria such as narrative structure, genre, characters, and intended audience reaction. It examines how "The Exam" uses techniques like flashbacks, editing pace, and character performances to establish certain genres and elicit laughter from viewers. However, it notes some viewers decoded elements differently and did not find parts funny due to how certain issues were portrayed lightly. The analysis draws on theories around narrative, representation, and decoding of texts to understand how "The Exam" was both conventional and unconventional in certain aspects for short films.
This document provides a summary and analysis of a short film created by the author. The short film follows the process of creating a song from sampling an existing song to writing lyrics and recording. It aims to have a documentary style with minimal dialogue. The author analyzes how various film techniques like camera work, editing, sound, and cinematography were used to shape the narrative and create realism. Audience reaction confirmed that the film succeeded in engaging viewers and focusing their attention on the song creation process rather than the characters.
This document provides an analysis of the student's short film "Till Death Us Do Part". It summarizes the plot, which follows the deterioration of a married couple, Rose and Stanley, over 20 years until Rose implies murdering Stanley. The student discusses how they drew inspiration from other short films in terms of genre, narrative structure, editing techniques, and use of sound and mise-en-scene. Feedback from peers is also mentioned, which led to clarifying edits. In analyzing their own film, the student compares elements like genre, locations used, narrative approaches, and how their film fits structural models of storytelling.
Despite similar themes, the endings of ‘Echo’ and ‘Tea Party’ are vastly different. ‘Echo’ leaves the viewer with little hope through its depressing final shot, while ‘Tea Party’ provides a more ambiguous and romantic ending through Noah becoming a guardian angel, granting viewer satisfaction. The film is broken into three clear parts influenced by Tzvetan Todorov’s three-act model: a setup of Noah’s disorientation; a confrontation where Noah tries to understand his situation; and a resolution where Noah realizes his new role. Microelements like Noah’s positioning in light and cinematography position the viewer with Noah to understand his connection to Evie. Doors in the film symbolize passageways
Tim and Tiffany are forced to retake an exam under the supervision of their strict teacher, Mr. Jones. As Tim works through the exam, he has flashbacks providing clues and context for the questions. These flashbacks depict his school experiences and home life. Mr. Jones grows frustrated with Tim's flashbacks, believing them to be cheating. Tiffany also complains. After quickly finishing the exam thanks to his flashbacks, Tim smiles, confident he has passed, while Mr. Jones and Tiffany are startled by the final question.
This document provides a summary of a short film script titled "Lost". It follows an elderly mixed-race man as he goes about his day in his home. Scenes show him in different rooms of the house, interacting with his daughter Claire and an unseen woman named Laura. The man goes up to the attic to search for old photos at Laura's request. While in the attic, he finds a photo album and looks through old blurred photos. Later he goes to the supermarket, where he runs into an old friend. Throughout the script, music is heard which seems to trigger memories or moments of confusion for the man.
1) Joe tells Alice a story about going to the supermarket where he was followed by a strange woman who claimed he looked like her deceased son. She hugged Joe and then told the cashier Joe would pay for her items.
2) When Joe realized what was happening, he abandoned his shopping and chased after the woman in the parking lot.
3) Joe caught up to her and grabbed her leg to stop her from leaving as she tried to get in her car. He tells this story to Alice, eating the biscuit Alice had been eating earlier.

1) Film production involves many stages from development to distribution. It is a commercial venture that requires significant financing to be successful.
2) The producer oversees the entire filmmaking process from developing the initial idea through distribution. This includes securing financing, hiring key crew, and ensuring the film meets investor expectations.
3) Making a film is an uncertain process. Many ideas do not make it past development due to creative or financial challenges. Successful producers must have a good sense of public taste and the ability to convince skeptical investors to take on financial risks.

The document discusses magazine cover designs for i-D magazine that use bold graphic elements and vibrant colors. The covers have a stripped down, graphic design look with chunky lines and colors that make them pop. Contrasting colors are used loudly and confidently to give a sense of artistic flair and creativity compared to standard glossy photo covers. The designs have a homemade, punk rock feel that pushes the covers towards experimental graphic design.
The document discusses various film posters and their design elements that the author likes and finds inspiring for their own poster design. Some key elements that are highlighted include a pink and blue color scheme that gives a modern, psychedelic feel; overlaying patterns that add interest and abstraction; ambiguous imagery that keeps to a psychedelic theme; and the use of a single bold color for the title to stand out from the rest of the image. The author indicates they may incorporate patterns or collage lettering used in some of the example posters discussed.
The protagonist will wear plain t-shirts and jeans to avoid distracting from the film's colors and mood, as the story is set in the present. However, he will wear a suit to a party scene to blend in with the high-status people and company he is researching undercover. This increases the dramatic tension as the audience knows the job is significant.
The villain, or boss, will wear a suit to represent his high status and power within the industry, contrasting with the protagonist's casual dress. The suit shows he takes himself and his business seriously, furthering the tension as the audience knows the job is extremely important.

4. The Lake Isle of Innisfree
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart’s core.
5. The significance of the ‘heart’ metaphor to Yeats…
The only business of the head in the world is to
bow a ceaseless obeisance to the heart.
Letter to Frederick J. Gregg (1886)
The creations of a great writer are little more
than the moods and passions of his own heart,
given surnames and Christian names, and sent
…Now that my ladder’s gone, to walk the earth.
I must lie down where all the ladders start Letter to the Editor, Dublin Daily Express (1895)
In the foul rag-and-bone shop of the heart.
The Circus Animals’ Desertion (1939)
…And how can body, laid in that white rush,
But feel the strange heart beating where it lies?
Leda and the Swan (1923)
In courtesy I’d have her chiefly learned;
Hearts are not had as a gift but hearts are earned…
A Prayer for my Daughter (1921)
6. …Consume my heart away; sick with desire Too long a sacrifice
And fastened to a dying animal Can make a stone of the heart.
It knows not what it is; and gather me Easter 1916
Into the artifice of eternity.
Sailing to Byzantium (1926)
A pity beyond all telling
Is hid in the heart of love:
The Pity of Love (1893)
All things uncomely and broken, all things worn out and old,
The cry of a child by the roadway, the creak of a lumbering cart,
The heavy steps of the ploughman, splashing the wintry mould,
Are wronging your image that blossoms a rose in the deeps of my heart.
The Lover Tells of the Rose in his Heart (1899)
Unwearied still, lover by lover,
They paddle in the cold
Companionable streams or climb the air;
Their hearts have not grown old.
The Wild Swans at Coole (1916)
7. And the significance of ‘sailing’ as a metaphor to Yeats…
An aged man is but a paltry thing,
A tattered coat upon a stick, unless
Soul clap its hands and sing, and louder sing
For every tatter in its mortal dress,
Nor is there singing school but studying
Monuments of its own magnificence;
And therefore I have sailed the seas and come
To the holy city of Byzantium.
Extract from Sailing to Byzantium (1926)
‘I am trying to write about the state of my soul, for it is right for an old man to make his
soul, and some of my thoughts about that subject I have put into a poem called 'Sailing
to Byzantium'. When Irishmen were illuminating the Book of Kells, and making the
jewelled croziers in the National Museum, Byzantium was the centre of European
civilization and the source of its spiritual philosophy, so I symbolize the search for the
spiritual life by a journey to that city.’ WB Yeats, 1931
8. Later explanation as to how he came to write the poem…
‘I planned to live some day in a cottage on a little island called
Innisfree…I should live, as Thoreau lived, seeking wisdom.’
WB Yeats, Autobiographies, 1927.
‘Sometimes I told myself very adventurous love-stories with
myself for hero, and at other times I planned out a life of lonely austerity,
and at other times mixed the ideals and planned a life of
lonely austerity mitigated by periodical lapses. I had still the ambition,
formed in Sligo in my teens, of living in imitation of Thoreau
on Innisfree, a little island in Lough Gill, and when walking
through Fleet Street very homesick I heard a little tinkle of water
and saw a fountain in a shop-window which balanced a little ball
upon its jet, and began to remember lake water. From the sudden
remembrance came my poem `Innisfree', 16 my first lyric with anything
in its rhythm of my own music..’ WB Yeats, Interview with the BBC, 1927.
9. In March 1845, a friend told Thoreau, "Go out upon that, build
yourself a hut, & there begin the grand process of devouring
yourself alive. I see no other alternative, no other hope for you.“
Two months later, Thoreau embarked on a two-year experiment
in simple living when he moved to a small, self-built house on
land in a forest around the shores of Walden Pond. The house
was in "a pretty pasture and woodlot" of 14 acres.
Henry David Thoreau, June 1856
Thoreau left Walden Pond on September 6, 1847. Over several years, he worked to pay off his
debts and also continuously revised his manuscript for what, in 1854, he would publish as
Walden, or Life in the Woods, recounting the two years, two months, and two days he had spent
at Walden Pond. The book compresses that time into a single calendar year, using the passage of
four seasons to symbolize human development. Part memoir and part spiritual quest, Walden at
first won few admirers, but later critics have regarded it as a classic American work that explores
natural simplicity, harmony, and beauty as models for just social and cultural conditions.
10. From the introduction to the text explaining Thoreau’s
reasons…
‘I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential
facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to
die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so
dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to
live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to
put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into
a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to
get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if
it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in
my next excursion.’
Henry David Thoreau, Walden, ‘Where I Lived, and What I Lived For.’ (1854)

12. Who else has Thoreau influenced?
Here, in this courageous New Englander's refusal to pay his taxes and his choice of jail
rather than support a war that would spread slavery's territory into Mexico, I made my
first contact with the theory of nonviolent resistance. Fascinated by the idea of refusing
to cooperate with an evil system, I was so deeply moved that I reread the work several
times.
I became convinced that non co-operation with evil is as much a moral obligation as is
co-operation with good. No other person has been more eloquent and passionate in
getting this idea across than Henry David Thoreau. As a result of his writings and
personal witness, we are the heirs of a legacy of creative protest. The teachings of
Thoreau came alive in our civil rights movement; indeed, they are more alive than ever
before. Whether expressed in a sit-in at lunch counters, a freedom ride into Mississippi,
a peaceful protest in Albany, Georgia, a bus boycott in Montgomery, Alabama, these are
outgrowths of Thoreau's insistence that evil must be resisted and that no moral man can
patiently adjust to injustice.
Martin Luther King, Jr
13. Who else influenced Yeats?
I dipped my oars into the silent lake,
And, as I rose upon the stroke, my boat
Went heaving through the water like a swan;
When, from behind that craggy steep till then
The horizon's bound, a huge peak, black and huge,
As if with voluntary power instinct,
Upreared its head. I struck and struck again,
And growing still in stature the grim shape
Towered up between me and the stars, and still,
For so it seemed, with purpose of its own
And measured motion like a living thing,
Strode after me…. ...No familiar shapes
The Prelude Book I Remained, no pleasant images of trees,
Of sea or sky, no colours of green fields;
But huge and mighty forms, that do not live
Like living men, moved slowly through the mind
By day, and were a trouble to my dreams.
Extracts from William Wordsworth’s ‘The Prelude’ Book I, 1850.
14. ….the cry of unknown birds;
The mountains more by blackness visible
And their own size, than any outward light;
The breathless wilderness of clouds; the clock The immeasurable height
That told, with unintelligible voice, Of woods decaying, never to be decayed,
The widely parted hours; the noise of streams, The stationary blasts of waterfalls,
And sometimes rustling motions nigh at hand, And in the narrow rent at every turn
That did not leave us free from personal fear; Winds thwarting winds, bewildered and forlorn,
‘The Prelude’, Book VI The torrents shooting from the clear blue sky,
The rocks that muttered close upon our ears,
Black drizzling crags that spake by the way-side
As if a voice were in them, the sick sight
And giddy prospect of the raving stream,
The unfettered clouds and region of the Heavens,
Tumult and peace, the darkness and the light–
Yes, I remember when the changeful earth, Were all like workings of one mind, the features
And twice five summers on my mind had stamped Of the same face, blossoms upon one tree;
The faces of the moving year, even then Characters of the great Apocalypse,
I held unconscious intercourse with beauty The types and symbols of Eternity,
Old as creation, drinking in a pure Of first, and last, and midst, and without end.
Organic pleasure from the silver wreaths ‘The Prelude’, Book VI
Of curling mist, or from the level plain
Of waters coloured by impending clouds.
‘The Prelude’, Book I
15. These beauteous forms,
Through a long absence, have not been to me
As is a landscape to a blind man’s eye:
But oft, in lonely rooms, and ’mid the din
Of towns and cities, I have owed to them,
In hours of weariness, sensations sweet,
Felt in the blood, and felt along the heart;
And passing even into my purer mind
With tranquil restoration:—feelings too
Of unremembered pleasure: such, perhaps, …And I have felt
As have no slight or trivial influence A presence that disturbs me with the joy
On that best portion of a good man’s life, Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime
His little, nameless, unremembered, acts Of something far more deeply interfused,
Of kindness and of love. Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns,
And the round ocean and the living air,
And the blue sky, and in the mind of man;
A motion and a spirit, that impels
All thinking things, all objects of all thought,
And rolls through all things.
Extracts from William Wordsworth’s ‘Lines written a few miles above Tintern Abbey,
July 1798.’
16. ‘The sublime’ in poetry and literature…
Wordsworth got his idea of the sublime as it was developed by the writer Edmund Burke in A
Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful (1756). Burke was the
first philosopher to argue that the sublime and the beautiful are mutually exclusive. The imagination
is moved to awe and instilled with a degree of fear by what is ‘dark, uncertain, and confused.’ While
the relationship of the sublime and the beautiful is one of mutual exclusiveness, either one can
produce pleasure. The sublime may inspire fear, but one receives pleasure in knowing that the
perception is a largely a fiction.
The feeling Wordsworth expresses is beyond rational understanding; it is a feeling of
the sublime, of all the grandeur and divinity in the natural world. It’s a state of being
that transcends the mundane and mechanical world in which we live. For the
Romantics, it represented the longing to be free. But the sublime was more than just
the beauty of a sunset, it was about awe and terror…The sublime is man lost in the
immensity of nature.– Peter Ackroyd
Is The Lake Isle of Innisfree about awe and terror? Is it ‘the sublime’ that Yeats is
searching for?

17. Or is Yeats after something simpler?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p003c1cs
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss pastoral literature and to what extent does it represent
a continuous yearning for a non-existent Golden Age of Innocence? How far did it evolve
to reflect the social and political preoccupations of its times and what were the real
meanings of its much used metaphors of town and country?
Come live with me and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
That valleys, groves, hills, and fields,
Woods or steepy mountain yields.
And we will sit upon the rocks,
Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks,
By shallow rivers to whose falls
Melodious birds sing madrigals.
An entreaty from Christopher Marlowe's Passionate Shepherd to His Love - thought by many
to be the crowning example of Elizabethan pastoral poetry. The traditions of pastoral poetry,
literature and drama can be traced back to the third century BC and have principally offered a
conventionalised picture of rural life, the naturalness and innocence of which is seen to
contrast favourably with the corruption and artificialities of city and court life. Pastoral
literature deals with tensions between nature and art, the real and the ideal, the actual and
the mythical, and although pastoral works have been written from the point of view of
shepherds, they have often been penned by highly sophisticated, urban poets.
