This document analyzes the portrayal of gender in stalker thriller films. It notes that typically in these films, the female protagonist is presented as vulnerable and weak compared to the male antagonist.

However, they realized their stalker character, who is young with a different ethnicity than typical stalkers, challenges some stereotypes around the portrayal of stalkers in other films which usually depict white, middle-aged males.

If you are having trouble formulating a concise log-line for your story, chances are your plot is suffering from DGD (Dramatic Grammar Deficiency), or - worse - that you are failing to grasp the emotional logic of what is actually going on as evidenced by the actions and interactions of the characters. If this is not the case, then basically what you have to do is, look at the beginning of the second act of your story. That is the main chunk of it. You imply Act 1 with your protagonist’s adjective of manner that contrasts them against the new world of Act 2 they have dived deep into. You also must imply the consequences of the protagonist failing in your log-line to make things not boring when you tell someone about it so they’ll want to know more.
That’s literally all there is to it.

Walt Kelly, creator of the comic strip Pogo, parodied the famous quote from Commodore Perry after his victory at the Battle of Lake Erie - "We have met the enemy, and they are ours." Kelly changed it to "We have met the enemy and he is us." This drew criticism, but Kelly explained that both noble and ugly traits can be found in people. He said the things that make us human are always close at hand, and by meeting on common ground with our "enemy" they may become "us" rather than being ours to defeat. Later commentary validated Kelly's parody, saying the natural man is an enemy to God and others through his own human failings and obstructions to happiness.
The document summarizes key elements of three thriller film trailers and narratives:
1. Prisoners (2013) - The trailer uses shots that build tension and show the psychological strain on characters as a father searches for his missing daughter.
2. Flightplan (2005) - Continuity editing and music are used to create suspense as a woman searches for her missing daughter on a plane.
3. Taken (2008) - Fast cuts show the action-packed story of a retired spy who uses his skills to find his daughter after she is kidnapped while traveling abroad.

Levi Strauss was an anthropologist in the early 1900s who developed the theory of binary opposites. He believed that our understanding of words depends on understanding their opposites. Some common binary opposites in media include dark-light, good-evil, rational-irrational. Binary opposites are often used in films to help establish and reinforce the plot by creating a clear distinction between two opposing concepts or characters. However, critics argue that everything does not always have a clear opposite and there can be middle grounds between supposed binary concepts.
This document provides summaries of 24 book reviews written by students. The reviews cover a range of genres including fiction, non-fiction, romance novels, and young adult literature. Some of the books summarized are Harry Potter, The Great Gatsby, Twilight, A Series of Unfortunate Events, and I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced.
The document outlines several common stock characters that are often seen in horror films. The wanderer is typically the first victim who wanders off and gets killed for being curious and naive. The popular girl is attractive but mean-spirited and often friends with the final girl, meeting an early demise. The jock is athletic and tries to protect others but ultimately fails when battling the antagonist. The final girl is smarter than the others and the sole survivor the audience follows. Pandora's curiosity opens dangerous possibilities as they sometimes turn out to be the hidden killer. The pervert lusts sexually for others and dies due to lack of self-protection from distraction.

2015 Code Camp on Computational CreativityTony Veale
The PROSECCO network (an EC-funded project for the PROmotion of the Scientific Exploration of Computational Creativity) is organizing a computational creativity code camp in Coimbra, Portugal (January 12-15, 2015). This presentation introduces the challenge that participants will address in groups: build a creative Twitterbot that can generate its own interesting micro-fiction using a large knowedge-base of facts about real historical people and fictional characters.
Computational Creativity is the scientific study of the creative potential of machines: to determine whether machines can indeed be creative, it aims to build generative machines and programs that exhibit human-scale creativity.
The document outlines a movie pitch for a supernatural horror film. It describes the genre as horror and subgenre as supernatural, with a minimum runtime of 3 hours. The story involves a male protagonist who is increasingly disturbed and targeted by a supernatural presence after receiving a sinister note and USB containing a video of his death. As he seeks help from the police and friends, strange things continue to happen and shots show his battered appearance in the mirror. The story ends with the protagonist staying up at night guarding the door as more letters arrive, before he is finally claimed by the supernatural being after opening the door. Potential actors, locations and props are also briefly discussed.
The document discusses the concept of binary opposition, which refers to a system in structuralism where a word or concept has a paired opposite. The document provides examples of how binary opposition can be used in narratives, such as the concepts of "life and death" or "love and hate". It then describes how the writer plans to incorporate various binary oppositions into the plot, characters, settings, and themes of a soap opera-style television show they are developing about a woman who may have been killed by her abusive husband. Some of the key binary oppositions that will be used include present/past, safety/danger, victim/attacker, and fragility/strength.
Horror films are designed to elicit fear and terror in viewers through plots involving evil supernatural forces that intrude into the everyday world. They deal with primal human fears like vulnerability, death, and the unknown. Horror films developed from folktales, myths, ghost stories, and melodrama. They often combine science fiction elements when the menace is related to technology or aliens, or involve supernatural powers controlling helpless victims. While some rely on graphic effects, well-made horror films can tap into human dreams and uncover the inner horrors and virtues of humanity.

This document discusses several common character archetypes found in horror movies:
The jock is an athletic, popular character who often acts invincible but tends to die early in the film. The final girl is the sole survivor, who is strong-willed and influential. The popular girl is confident and the center of male attention, often friends with the final girl. The wanderer explores surroundings inquisitively but needs supervision, making them likely to die first. The geek provides reason but may help defeat the villain. The pervert negatively pursues girls and is targeted by the villain. These stock characters are crucial to horror films by making the audience able to identify with people in the movie.
This document contains images and information about 5 pioneering women in the women's rights movement: Myra Bradwell, who was denied a license to practice law despite being otherwise qualified; Virginia Minor, who sued for the right to vote and took her case to the Supreme Court; Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, an African American abolitionist and suffragist; Susan B. Anthony, a prominent leader in the women's suffrage movement who was arrested for voting illegally as a woman; and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, a leading figure in the early women's rights movement who organized the first Women's Rights Convention in 1848.

SIS 640 International Communication Presentation: Rape as a Weapon of War-Cas...sk3324a
This document summarizes the issue of "comfort women" who were sexually enslaved by the Japanese military during World War II. It discusses how their story was largely forgotten until victims began sharing their testimonies publicly in the 1990s. International media and human rights groups then helped spread awareness of the "comfort women" narrative on the global stage. While Japan has apologized and created compensation funds, it has denied the sexual slavery occurred. Today there continues to be an ongoing fight over the narrative as Japan seeks revisions to statements about comfort women.
