The document analyzes and summarizes the key elements of a film poster for "Beating Hearts". It notes that the 41⁄2 star rating and positive review are intended to attract audiences. The harsh red and black color scheme and dark cloudy background suggest a dark, twisted narrative of evil and unhappiness. At the bottom, a girl is positioned sitting above a woman in bed, implying the girl holds power over the seemingly weak woman. The film title "Beating Hearts" could suggest both love and death, confusing audiences, but the use of "beating" implies a horror genre. Including the writer's name promotes potentially new talent.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Poster Analysis:
Beating Hearts:
Film Reviews and Accolades: A 4½ star symbol is
placed at the top of the film poster to attract the
audience to possibly watch the film. Initially, the
public will see the characters and the film’s title
before naturally looking at the top of the poster for
further information. This star rating is likely to
influence the potential target audience to find out
more information about the film. The review ‘one of
the most startling…’ is also used to attract the
audience to watch the film, particularly if they are
looking for something to scare them. This is most
likely to be a young audience (early 20’s) who are
the age group which are most likely to experiment
with watching a variety of different film genres and
hope to push the boundaries. The use of the
superlative ‘most’ implies to the audience that this
film provides a high amount of thrill and spookiness
for the audience, enticing them to watch the short
film.
Colour Scheme and Background: The
promotional poster uses a harsh red and black
colour scheme, suggesting a dark and twisted
narrative for the audience. This is due to these
colours together connoting sadness, evil and
sometimes even death. This links to the films
genre of drama/horror which represents evil and
unhappiness. This is further suggested through
the use of a dark, cloudy background. The use of
the dark clouds suggests that a ‘storm may be
brewing’, hinting to the target audience at a
possible dark and evil plot twist and a sad story.
This juxtaposes from sunshine, which often
connotes happiness and a bright future for
characters.
Character Positioning: At the bottom of the film
poster, a girl sits looking at a woman who is
presumed to be asleep due to the use of bedding in
the shot. Due to the girl sitting on top of the woman,
it could be implied by the audience that the little girl
holds power and status over the woman, who is
portrayed as weak due to her positioning on a bed.
This is likely to intrigue the audience due to the
poster demonstrating an abnormal relationship
whereby the girl holds a position of authority. This
may put into question the parents control of their
daughter; thus the girl could be seen as a strong yet
strangely authoritative character.
Film Title and Writer: The short films title
‘Beating Hearts’ may provide the audience with
contradicting thoughts as to what the films genre
is due to the juxtaposing connotations of ‘hearts’.
These connotations can include the themes of
love and passion, or alternatively death and evil.
These contrasting themes may confuse the
public when they initially hear the name of the
film. Despite this, the use of the verb ‘beating’
implies that the hearts are functioning and are
‘beating’ possibly like a drum. This may therefore
suggests that the film is a horror movie due to
the nature of harsh beating sounds of a drum
being similar to a beating heart. The writers
name ‘Matthew Garrett’ isn’t well-known in the
public eye; however by featuring his name on the
poster, the writer may potentially become
successful after the film is distributed.
