It’s Business, Not Personal
One of the greatest gangster films of all time, Francis Coppola’s The Godfather is the story of an immigrant family from Italy that establishes their “family business” as members of the New York mafia. The values behind the family business are similar to how the head of household acts- kind and generous to those who give respect, yet succumbing to callous actions for the good of the family. Through the combined use of film techniques of lighting, shot angle, and sound, Coppola is able to develop an intricate story that sets the standards for screenwriters and directors alike. The Godfather brilliantly combines methods in sound, camera work and mise-en-scene to craft the story of a family battling to separate two closely linked worlds, the “family business,” and the family life.
The opening shot of the film is a black screen that slowly fades into a close up shot of Bonasera, a minor character, whose features are cast in only dim shadow of light. He is requesting a favor from an undisclosed character, explaining how his daughter was attacked by a group of American boys and how she deserves justice for what they have done to her. In simple terms, he is asking the undisclosed character, later revealed as Don Corleone, to kill the boys for him. As he continues to speak, a pullback shot is used to reveal the backside of Don Corleone’s head, and slowly Bonasera’s image shifts from filling the entire scene to being a minute character in the background. Corleone’s massive desk takes over the scene and the screen soon shows the entire view of the room. Coppola then shifts to a close up of Corleone, establishing his importance in the film as well as taking away any importance that may have been put on Bonasera. Coppola is making it clear to all viewers that Don Corleone is going to be a very important figure in this film. Employing the shot/reverse shot method, Coppola is able to display to viewers the dialogue between both characters. This opening conversation in the film, continually filled with dim lighting, creates a mysterious mood around the “family business” and dim light becomes associated with the actions of the business throughout the film.
This use of dim lighting in the opening scene contrasts the ambiguity of the family business with the joy of the surrounding family. Following the conversation with Bonasera, the film cuts to a sunny shot of his daughter Connie’s wedding reception, giving viewers a glimpse of the other side of the Corleone life. This defining shot, a group photo of the family on the patio of their massive home, not only shows the large size of their family but the huge community and following their family has. The happiness associated with weddings seen in this shot, accompanied by the natural light, makes clear to viewers a change of tone between the family and the “family business.” There are many quick shots, introducing viewers to numerous characters of the film as well as a glimpse of.
For this Portfolio Project, you will write a paper about John A.docxevonnehoggarth79783
For this Portfolio Project, you will write a paper about "John Adams" as well as any event in U.S. history that is relevant to your major area of study or of interest to you. You will write about John Adams from the perspective of another historical personality who lived at the same time as the person or event you are going to describe.
For your historical personality, try to select someone from an under-represented population (examples of possible perspectives include that of Anne Hutchinson, Pocahontas, or Sojourner Truth). This analysis is to make you think about how events/people’s actions were interpreted at the time.
Key Points::
Remember that you will be writing from the perspective of a historical person about another person or an event from a period of U.S. history up to Reconstruction. From your historical person’s perspective, provide a thorough summary of the person or event you’ve chosen to write about, including the incidents that took place and any key individuals involved or affected.
Address the general importance of the person or event in the context of U.S. history.
Now, explain specifically how the person or event changed “your” daily life—“you” being the historical persona you have adopted.
Think long-term: How will the person or the event you are describing make a long-term impact in the lives of people who are in the under-represented group to which your historical person/perspective belongs?
Paper Requirements:
Your paper must be four to six pages, not including the required references and title pages.
Use at least five sources, not including the textbook. Include a scholarly journal article. Include at least one
primary
source from those identified in the syllabus.
Definition of a Primary Source
: A primary source is any source, document or artifact that was created at the time of the event. It was usually created by someone who witnessed the event, lived during or even shortly afterwards, or somehow would have first-hand knowledge of that event. A secondary source, by contrast, is written by a historian or someone writing about the event after it happened.
Have an introduction and strong thesis statement. Make use of support and examples supporting your thesis
Finish with a forceful conclusion reiterating your main idea.

1. Some common stereotypes that coincide with the LGBTQ community are promiscuous, non-religious, flamboyant, mentally ill, high sex drives, etc.
2. The media plays a role in establishing these stereotypes because the general public is always watching these shows, reading the news, and listening to stories about different cultures and groups and media that they may not see or interact with in their lives. Therefore, media is an outlet to show these things in a easy way to gain knowledge about people without meeting people face-to-face apart of these groups when sometimes the stereotypes shown can't represent everyone in those groups.
3. Currently, in Marvel's Runaways, that ended in December, there are two lesbian superheros that share a kiss at the end of a season. Karolina, one of the characters, wants to get away from her childhood of religious upbringing and wants to pursue her own life with her superpower of glowing colors. Nico is shown with a Gothic appearance and can be seen as aggressive but down to earth as well. The War at Home was a television show on Fox and a character named Kenny, who is sixteen years old, is kicked out of his house by his parents after finding out he is gay.

This is the Case Study I chose:
Martin is a 21 year-old business major at a large university. Over the past few weeks his family and friends have noticed increasingly bizarre behaviors. On many occasions they’ve overheard him whispering in an agitated voice, even though there is no one nearby. Lately, he has refused to answer or make calls on his cell phone, claiming that if he does it will activate a deadly chip that was implanted in his brain by evil aliens. His parents have tried to get him to go with them to a psychiatrist for an evaluation, but he refuses. He has accused them on several occasions of conspiring with the aliens to have him killed so they can remove his brain and put it inside one of their own. He has stopped attended classes altogether. He is now so far behind in his coursework that he will fail if something doesn’t change very soon. Although Martin occasionally has a few beers with his friends, he’s never been known to abuse alcohol or use drugs. He does, however, have an estranged aunt who has been in and out of psychiatric hospitals over the years due to erratic and bizarre behavior.
The Psychological disorder is: SCHIZOPHRENIA

For this assignment, you will discuss how you see the Design Princip.docxevonnehoggarth79783
For this assignment, you will discuss how you see the Design Principles used in a 2D print. You can select a 2D print from your home, workplace, or use the CSU Art Appreciation LibGuide to find a print in an online museum. Take a photograph of the print or save an image of the print, and include it in the worksheet.In Unit II, our assignment was to describe an artwork using the Visual Elements. We can think of the Design Principles as a way that the artist organized the Visual Elements. Instead of focusing on the small parts of the artwork (like line, shape, and mass) the Design Principles look at the whole artwork and how all the elements work together. Provide a detailed description of the design principles in your 2D print, using full and complete sentences. For Design Principles, make sure you describe how the artist used the ones in Chapter 5: unity and variety, balance, emphasis, repetition and rhythm, and scale and proportion. Questions to consider are included below:
Unity: what elements work together to make a harmonious whole?
Variety: What creates diversity?
Balance: Is it symmetrical or asymmetrical?
Emphasis: What is the focal point?
Repetition and rhythm: Is an element repeated?
Scale and proportion: Are the objects in proportion to each other?
Be sure to describe exactly where in the artwork you see each Principle. You'll want to describe each artwork using the terms we learned in this unit's reading. Remember to write in complete sentences and use proper grammar.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

It’s Business, Not Personal
One of the greatest gangster films of all time, Francis
Coppola’s The Godfather is the story of an immigrant family
from Italy that establishes their “family business” as members
of the New York mafia. The values behind the family business
are similar to how the head of household acts- kind and
generous to those who give respect, yet succumbing to callous
actions for the good of the family. Through the combined use of
film techniques of lighting, shot angle, and sound, Coppola is
able to develop an intricate story that sets the standards for
screenwriters and directors alike. The Godfather brilliantly
combines methods in sound, camera work and mise-en-scene to
craft the story of a family battling to separate two closely
linked worlds, the “family business,” and the family life.
The opening shot of the film is a black screen that slowly fades
into a close up shot of Bonasera, a minor character, whose
features are cast in only dim shadow of light. He is requesting
a favor from an undisclosed character, explaining how his
daughter was attacked by a group of American boys and how
she deserves justice for what they have done to her. In simple
terms, he is asking the undisclosed character, later revealed as
Don Corleone, to kill the boys for him. As he continues to
speak, a pullback shot is used to reveal the backside of Don
Corleone’s head, and slowly Bonasera’s image shifts from
filling the entire scene to being a minute character in the
background. Corleone’s massive desk takes over the scene and
the screen soon shows the entire view of the room. Coppola then
shifts to a close up of Corleone, establishing his importance in
the film as well as taking away any importance that may have
been put on Bonasera. Coppola is making it clear to all viewers
that Don Corleone is going to be a very important figure in this
film. Employing the shot/reverse shot method, Coppola is able
2. to display to viewers the dialogue between both characters. This
opening conversation in the film, continually filled with dim
lighting, creates a mysterious mood around the “family
business” and dim light becomes associated with the actions of
the business throughout the film.
This use of dim lighting in the opening scene contrasts the
ambiguity of the family business with the joy of the surrounding
family. Following the conversation with Bonasera, the film cuts
to a sunny shot of his daughter Connie’s wedding reception,
giving viewers a glimpse of the other side of the Corleone life.
This defining shot, a group photo of the family on the patio of
their massive home, not only shows the large size of their
family but the huge community and following their family has.
The happiness associated with weddings seen in this shot,
accompanied by the natural light, makes clear to viewers a
change of tone between the family and the “family business.”
There are many quick shots, introducing viewers to numerous
characters of the film as well as a glimpse of their personalities,
displaying different moods of the characters. For example, Don
Corleone’s personality shifts from serious and stern to cheerful
as he becomes more engaged with his family at the wedding.
Through these film techniques, Coppola is able to inform
viewers of important concepts without having it written into the
script.
An important aspect of these initial scenes is the role of
sound. In the opening, the office is filled with the somber, non-
diagetic sound of a violin. This establishes a sense of
restlessness and discomfort for viewer, making him or her
contemplate what will happen next. Contrastingly, the wedding
scene is filled with upbeat, Italian wedding music,
accompanying the mood that the natural sunlight brings into this
scene. The distinct music choices again reaffirm the divide
between the two worlds of the Corleone family.
Lighting and sound continue to play a vital role in the
development of the plot. After a scene in Corleone’s office, the
film fades out into a defining shot of the New York during
3. Christmas time. Almost instantaneously, the music cues to a
favorite Christmas song and viewers see Michael Corleone and
Kay discussing the presents they have purchased. This
interaction between the two of them, as well as the music
choice, establishes that Kay and Michael are still very distant
from the “family business.” Coppola then moves to shots of
Luca Brasi getting ready in his apartment. The cheerful
Christmas music continues to play on the radio in his apartment
as he gets ready, despite the dim lighting from a single lamp
and the presence of Luca’s bulletproof vest. Coppola tries a
ploy of deception, directing the audience to think that Luca is
going to murder Sollozzo as a job for Don Corleone, who does
not want to get into the narcotics business with him. However,
the contrast of joyful music and cues of mystery from the
lighting serves to indicate that something is very unusual.
As mentioned above, lighting in this scene foreshadows the
upcoming event, as it is very similar to all the other violence
scenes. After leaving his dimly lit apartment, Luca goes to meet
with Virgil Sollozzo and Bruno Tattaglia in bar that has very
little lighting projecting from the inside. The low source of
light in both his apartment and the bar is a sign that something
is not right. It can inferred that some sort of murder or illegal
action is going to take place as the dim lighting is associated
with murder after Bonasera and Corleone’s conversation in the
opening scene. After talking about the deal, Luca takes out a
cigarette to be lit and Bruno happily lights it. In this instance,
the view of the shot changes to Bruno’s eye level and the
audience sees him look past Luca, as if he is giving a cue to a
hidden person in the bar. The scene then goes silent and
suddenly a knife penetrates Luca’s right hand to the bar and an
assassin comes from behind and silently kills him with a
garrote. The significance of silence kill directly correlates with
the hidden agendas and secrecy that define mafia life. Just as
Corleone’s business was not done in the open, the murder of one
of his men done behind closed doors in a rather dark location is
done to prevent any repercussions.
4. Later in the film, we visit another scene of violence, headed
unexpectedly by Michael Corleone, the WWII veteran of family,
who earlier in the film was disassociated with the family
business all together. Once Michael realized that there was
going to be a second murder attempt on his father in the
hospital, he became interested in the family business and
ultimately murdered both Sollozzo and McCluskey out of shear
vengeance. The setting is an old, vintage, dimly lit Italian
restaurant, creating an ominous mood before they have even
entered. The first shot of the scene is an overhead pan of the
restaurant, showing viewers how small and intimate the meeting
is going to be. Coppola has clearly set up an isolated meeting
that many outsiders of the mafia would imagine one to be like.
The camera then switches to close ups of all three characters,
going back again to a close up of Michael’s face. The close up
shot is used strategically to display the transition of Michael’s
emotions throughout the series of shots as well as show his
apparent disconnect from Sollozzo. In the beginning, viewers
are able to see the fear in his eyes as he enters the restaurant,
not sure if the gun will be waiting for him in the restroom.
However, the scene concludes with a close up of Michael’s
expressionless face, right before he shoots both Sollozzo and
McCluskey, validating his new association with the family
business.
The soundtrack of this scene also plays a very important
role in conveying meaning and shifts in the characters ideals.
The scene begins with a slow apprehensive melody of the piano
and violin as he leaves and says his goodbyes, similar to what
was heard in the beginning of the film when Don Corleone was
discussing business. This informs the audience that Michael not
only supports the family business, but the actions in the
upcoming scene portray what the mafia business is best known
for- murder. Additionally, the choice of music informs the
viewers that Michael Corleone feels in charge of the situation
similar to the control Don had over the situations in this office.
Once Michael is picked up for his meeting, the music suddenly
5. stops and the car is filled with chattering between the police
captain and Sollozzo. Unexpectedly, the car makes a sharp turn
and once Sollozzo applauds the driver for losing any or all
followers, the music of the violin and piano returns, reaffirming
that the plan is still intact. The increased volume and speed of
the violin-piano combination signifies the pressure of this “job”
closing in on Michael. Once they have almost reached the
eatery, the sound of train screeching is added into the sound
mix and exponentially increases as they get closer, symbolizing
the psychological state in which Michael is in. Once in the
restaurant, the only sounds are those of the three characters
speaking until Michael leaves the table to go to the restroom,
and the sound of rushing water takes over the scene in order to
mask Michael’s search for the gun.
After several minutes of suspension watching him search for the
gun, Michael finally returns to the table, with the gun in his
possession. With a distressed look on his face, Michael takes
his seat at the table and gradually the noise of the train begins
to fill the air again. It continually grows louder and louder,
covering up the Sollozzo’s voice. As the sound of the railway
car disappears, Michael lifts up his gun and the sound of
gunshot fills the scene as he puts three bullets into his
adversaries. The sudden stop of the music alerts viewers that
Michael has made the decision to kill and the psychological
battle going on in his head has come to a halt. The three distinct
sounds used in this portion of the movie are Coppola’s way of
foreshadowing the murder and creating an increasing level of
anxiety for members of the audience.
Towards the end of the film, Coppola represents death in a new
way. Contrastingly to every other death seen thus far in the
movie, Don Corleone does not die in darkness but in the peace
of his own home, as he plays with his grandson outside in the
light. Don passes away rather peacefully compared the rest of
the horrific murders seen in the film. Corleone’s death and the
way Coppola portrays it in the film provides viewers with a
thinking point- that the family is making a positive shift away
6. from the crookedness of the mafia and towards a brilliant,
legitimate future.
Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather is truly a masterpiece of
its time. Through the use of lighting, sound and
cinematography, Coppola is able to portray the wonderful, yet
twisted lifestyle of the Corleone family and their “family
business.” The careful combination of light and sound add a
level of understanding and complexity to the film beyond the
action that is visually displayed on screen. His use of unique
camera shots, like the close up and over the shoulder, allow him
to create a tense atmosphere within the audience, making them
feel as if they are a part of the action going on in front of them.
Additionally, the lighting, sound and camera angle combination
allow viewers to not only see but also immerse themselves in
the emotions of characters like Michael and Don Corleone. The
Godfather brilliantly establishes the mafia in new way, showing
the joyful and typically overlooked family side in contrast to
the standardized negative image of the mafia.
