Evaluation question 2
The document analyzes the representations of social groups in the film opening "Silence is Golden" based on Propp's character theory and spy genre conventions. It finds that the hero, princess, and villain conform to Propp's seven character types. The single female character is portrayed as a strong captive resisting torture. Both the hero and villain fit typical spy film stereotypes of their roles. The analysis acknowledges unchallenged stereotypes around gender, ethnicity, age, and physical ability in the film opening but notes constraints of the script.
Flim: A Painfully Short Overview
The document provides a simplified overview of film history, narrative structure, cinematography techniques, and film theory. It discusses key events in the development of film from 1888 to 1999. It also outlines Vladimir Propp's 7 character types and Tzetan Todorov's stages of narrative disruption, recognition, repair, and restoration. Finally, it analyzes three pivotal scenes from the film "The Godfather".
Artefacts of disability
Sloth is a character in the 1985 film The Goonies who has physical and mental disabilities. He is kept chained in the basement by his cruel family and is frightening to viewers with his disfigured appearance. However, he forms an unlikely friendship with the character Chunk. Through their bond, the film demonstrates how people can connect despite differences. Sloth ultimately helps the main characters escape from his family, showing that those seen as outsiders can achieve great things. His story highlights issues of exploiting and marginalizing those with disabilities.
Narrative Theory
The document summarizes Todorov's five stages of narrative theory and Propp's character types. Todorov's stages include equilibrium, disruption, recognition, attempts to repair, and restoration of equilibrium. An example is given from Friends. Propp's character types are the hero, villain, donor, princess, helper, princess' father, and false hero. An analysis of these character types is provided for the film A Series of Unfortunate Events.

Eval activity 2
The document discusses the representation of social groups in a film opening. It describes the main protagonist as a mother grieving from mental health issues caused by past trauma, shown through her "confessing" in a hospital. The mother's loving relationship with her son is portrayed through happy family activities. The main antagonist, a ghost, conforms to horror movie stereotypes of being dark and sinister, wanting to scare the living. It is introduced strangling the son. Similarities are discussed between the mother and one in another film, while differences are in the source and timing of their distress.
Whitewashing Hollywood
The document discusses the problematic practice in Hollywood of casting white actors in roles meant for people of color. It notes that Angie Jolie played a role meant for a woman of color in A Mighty Heart. It also contains a casting call that separates women into categories based on their race and appearance, including skin tone and hair, in a discriminatory way.
English digital presentation 1
The document discusses several examples of common sexist stereotypes portrayed in media. It provides instances where women are depicted as bad drivers, only belonging in the kitchen, or being dumb if they are blonde. It also gives examples of advertisements that show men in control over women or portray women as inferior. The stereotypes can negatively impact people's self-esteem and mental health as well as influence how people see themselves and others.

Horror story pitch
The document discusses plans for a horror movie titled "Unsealed" about a young female dealing with broken demonic deals. It will be a supernatural/psychological horror genre exposing vulnerabilities and fears through ghosts, demons, and religion themes. The antagonist is an adult female battling inner demons when a deal with the devil is broken, making her the "final girl". Inspiration is drawn from "American Horror Story" creators for suspense, thrills, and filming elements. Scenes will be filmed in houses and graveyards to seem horrific in everyday settings. Costumes will include modern wear with the main character in masculine clothes and a soiled white nightgown to show her drained mental state.
Film opening analysis
The document discusses how film genres are established through various cinematic techniques seen in the opening scenes of movies. It provides examples from the openings of several films and analyzes how elements of the music, cinematography, characters, settings, and other details help set the genre and provide clues to the audience about the type of story they will witness.
Horror genre chart
This document outlines common elements found in horror genre films, including setting, lighting, camera work, editing, sound, iconography, narrative structure, characters, and themes. It notes that settings often involve confined or isolated locations like houses, hospitals, woods, and basements. Cinematography aims to be expressive rather than naturalistic, using techniques like point-of-view shots and handheld camera work. Iconography draws on disturbing symbols like weapons, blood, shadows, and the paranormal to create fear and tension. Character archetypes include victims, monsters, and "stupid teens" who meet early demises. Overall, the document provides a taxonomy of tropes that horror films frequently employ to unnerve and
The crazies
This document discusses the classical Hollywood narrative structure and how it applies to the film "The Crazies." It begins by outlining the classical Hollywood narrative structure as an equilibrium being disrupted by an event, causing disequilibrium that must be resolved with a new equilibrium. It then analyzes whether "The Crazies" follows this structure. It determines that the film does not follow it because the disruption occurs at the beginning rather than the middle. However, it notes there appears to be a new equilibrium at the end, but this is undermined by a final scene showing further disruption has not ended.
Conventions of a slasher film
This document provides an overview of common conventions and tropes found in slasher films. It discusses that slasher films typically involve a masked killer going on a killing spree using bladed weapons. They usually follow a narrative of a group of teenagers being killed one by one. There is often a final girl who survives to the end to face the killer. Other common elements discussed include ineffective authority figures, a group of friends as victims, and theories about the narrative structure and characters that are often present in slasher films.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
