This is a presentation about what is considered Art Movie, art cinema, art house film and the differences with the blockbuster.
Elements of drama
The document outlines the key elements of drama, beginning with Aristotle's original six elements of plot, theme, characters, dialogue, music/rhythm, and spectacle.

The elements are further categorized into literary elements, technical elements, and performance elements.
Lit law ppt
Literature and law though being separate branches of social sciences share some proximity and amalgamate in objectives. Literature tends towards abstraction, creativity, variety in description and narration and is abundant in genres. Law on the other hand tends towards clarity, logical interpretation scope, definite pattern and style of drafting and is varied in branches.
Literature and law share good amount of proximity in dealing with human predicament, situation, development of civilization and societal reforms. As both highlight human life, striving to make it better and society a more purposeful place to live in; one heralding and creating an abstract world and the other canalizing it through concrete and well defined structure be it in the form of rules or regulations, they can be studied in the light of this proximity.
Indian film history
Bollywood refers to the Hindi-language film industry based in Mumbai, India. It derives its name from a portmanteau of Bombay (the former name of Mumbai) and Hollywood. Bollywood is the largest film producer in India and one of the largest film industries in the world in terms of films and tickets produced and sold annually. The Indian film industry has evolved greatly from the silent films of the 1910s to become a technologically advanced, globally recognized industry producing over 1000 films annually across multiple regional languages including Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, and others. Key events in its history include the first talkie film in 1931, the arrival of color film in the late 1930s, and the "
Jerzy Grotowski
This document provides a biography of Polish theatre director Jerzy Grotowski. It outlines his early life and influences, including studying under Konstantin Stanislavsky in Moscow. It describes how Grotowski developed his theory of "Poor Theatre" which stripped away spectacle and focused on the actor's technique. The document discusses Grotowski's productions and experiments in Poland in the 1960s. It also covers his later work exploring ritual and traditions around the world. It notes that Grotowski eventually moved to the US and continued his research until his death in 1999.
Semiotics
Semiotic film theory analyzes how meaning is conveyed through signs and codes in cinema. Films use various visual elements like lighting, shot composition, and juxtaposition of images to signify ideas beyond their literal meaning. Structuralist film theory emphasizes how simple combinations of shots can create additional implied meanings through cultural codes and conventions. Semiotic analysis involves examining signs like characters, props, and backgrounds to understand their denotations and cultural connotations, and how they relate through paradigmatic and syntagmatic relationships to construct meaning.
History of drama.
The document provides an overview of the origins and development of Greek drama. It discusses how drama evolved from religious rituals honoring Dionysus, involving dancing, music and chanting. Over time, elements were added including an actor interacting with the chorus (Thespis) and the introduction of props and scenes (Aeschylus). Athens became the center of dramatic competitions between 600-200 BC, producing the great tragedians such as Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. Their tragedies used dramatic form and themes of hubris to teach moral and spiritual lessons. Comedy also evolved, represented by playwrights like Aristophanes and later Menander during the period of New Comedy.
Paper no.9. comedy of menace in birthday party
Comedy of menace refers to plays that combine elements of comedy and tragedy to produce unease in the audience. It originated from a play by David Campton and was used to describe early works by Harold Pinter. Comedy of menace uses everyday settings and situations but creates an atmosphere of threat through implied or actual violence, uncertainty, and the juxtaposition of comedy and seriousness. It reflects the human predicament of living in an indifferent world surrounded by the unknown. Pinter's plays exemplify this technique through subtle menaces, cryptic dialogue, and the withholding of key information from the audience.

Editing: Continuity and Discontinuity
There are two main approaches to film editing: continuity editing and discontinuity editing. Continuity editing emphasizes smooth, coherent transitions between shots to tell a narrative in an invisible way, while discontinuity editing emphasizes differences between shots and calls attention to itself by creating new meaning through juxtaposition of individual shots. Both aim to manipulate time and space but in different ways - continuity seeks temporal and spatial continuity and illusion, while discontinuity violates expectations of continuity.

'Nobody' final evaluation
This document summarizes and analyzes the filmmaking techniques used in the short film "Nobody". It discusses how several scenes employ conventions of establishing shots, jump cuts, and over-the-shoulder shots to develop characters and tension. Flashbacks and transitions between scenes also advance the plot in stylistically conventional ways while challenging expectations through experimental music and cinematography choices. The document examines how the film's distinctive aesthetic subverts some conventions to better suit its depressive psychological thriller genre.
Trailer evaluation
The document discusses conventions used in film trailers and whether they were followed in a trailer for the comedy film "PLAN C". It notes that the trailer shows the story in chronological order rather than using unusual angles or quick cuts, in order to reflect the simplicity of the characters. It showcases the main characters and uses dialogue and shots to develop comedy. Music is used to build tension and shift atmosphere. The title is revealed at the end to aid recall, and an anti-climax is created to emphasize the comedy genre.
Mise en scene
The document discusses several filmmaking techniques including high key and low key lighting, costume, setting and props, facial expressions and body language, color, and expressive skills and realism. High key lighting uses fill light to minimize shadows while low key lighting creates strong shadows. Costumes establish time period and social context.

Darcu evaluation q1)
The document discusses how the media product, a film trailer for "Delilah", both follows and challenges conventions of real media products. It follows conventions such as using titles over shots, short visual images to build narrative, and changing music to match changes in action. However, it challenges conventions by using unusual camera angles to imply a non-typical romance, having the female character destroy the relationship rather than the male, and including lyrics in the music rather than using solely instrumental songs. The trailer overall aims to provide an intimate look at the developing and breaking down of relationships through unique visual and audio techniques.
Evaluation question 1
The document discusses how the filmmaker used and challenged conventions of short films and romantic comedies in developing their short film "Fluent in Love".
Some conventions that were used include a cyclical narrative structure, conventional camera shots like two shots and close-ups, diagetic sound, and a film poster featuring a two shot of the characters in red font.
Some conventions that were challenged include using plain credits without an ident, more inventive shots like extreme close-ups of objects, manipulated editing techniques, and non-diagetic music at the end. Overall the filmmaker aimed to have an independent and lighthearted style while still following some traditional conventions.

"In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and con...
The document discusses the codes and conventions of thriller films, including lighting, sound, and editing techniques. Low key lighting, shadows, tense music, and quick cuts between shots create suspense. For their student film project, the students used dark alleyway footage lit with low light to convey danger. They included unsettling piano music during the opening titles to set an uneasy tone. Throughout the film, they varied shot lengths and employed fast cuts during the climax to increase pace and urgency. Their revised version opened with close-up shots of the protagonist's discomfort and incorporated more music to drive the scenes and heighten tension.

In what way does your media project use final evaluation question 1
The document discusses how the media product uses, develops, and challenges conventions of teen drama films. It follows many conventions through camerawork, editing, settings, characters, and sound. However, it also challenges some conventions by using unique camera shots, locations, characters, and limiting dialogue. The goal was to create a gritty, realistic British teen drama rather than an Americanized version. Conventions were both obeyed and broken to develop new representations and explore atypical themes for the genre.

Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth.

This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Goodfellas (new presentation)
- 1. The film we have chosen for this project is Goodfellas, the reason for this is because we feel that this is a very exciting film for the audience to watch as well the different aspects covered within the film such as the Mise-en-scène, Editing, Sound, Narrative and the Cinematography.
- 3. Mise-en-scène is French for “putting into the scene”. This was first applied to the practice of directing plays. This means what appears in front of the camera: Setting Props Costume Lighting Staging What you place in a shot, and where in the frame you place it.
- 8. Lighting is a key part of establishing a good theme within the film, it allows to identify key moments of the characters mood within Goodfellas. Scorsese used lighting to reflect on the characters mood within Goodfellas, an example of this is used within the opening scene. Through out the opening scene, the back of the car’s light reflects on the mood of the characters, for example this red light gives the feeling of blood and death to the audience’s attention without any blood being shown. As this is the opening scene of the movie the lighting is very important in terms of establishing the theme used within the film. The second picture has dark red lights shining towards the two characters faces, they look forward to something, they look to be the most dangerous characters within the film. The 3rd image presents Henry looking terrified, the light reflects on his mood in terms of his facial expressions showing him being anxious and worried of what is going to happen next.
- 9. Staging is a crucial element of Mise en scene, the reason for this is because it shows to the audience how actors are used within a scene. This is linked to facial expression’s and body language of the character. Scorsese skill to frame characters and express their actions in momentous way was great to watch. One of the most interesting scene’s where staging reflects the characters meanings are when ‘Tommy’ and ‘Henry’ are positioned in the centre of both shots.
- 11. Setting portrays a significant visual component of a film, it consist of all that the viewer sees which notifies time and place apart from costume. The way how meaning is created by ‘setting’ is Scorsese combines the “Documentary style” into the setting of his film as he references key elements of actual events that occurred within Henry Hill life.
- 12. For example The Bamboo Lounge which was used in Goodfellas was an actual real life bar where Henry Hill and his gang used to hang out in the late 70’s-80’s. The film’s documentary atmosphere is strongly generated within the film, for example when highlighting these places. Scorsese makes full use of voice over narration and inter-titles to indicate place and date. This was a constant theme that was used when it came to different locations used within the film, they used Ray Liotta voice as narration in order to engage the audience with the storyline more.
Editor's Notes
- I will use images to illustrate to the audience how Mise-en-scene is used within the film.
- These images represent different aspects of Mise-en-scène from the film Goodfellas. This image represents the different actors within the film. The props that are used within the film guns- shows a sign of danger. The setting where it shows a mid shot of the characters both looking at their watches, location outside a restaurant. The lighting showing a close up on a man full with blood his face. The different types of costumes the characters are wearing.
- As you can see through these images these props are very dangerous objects. There 3 different props used which are the shovel, the gun and the knife, all of these weapons show us as an audience member these people are cruel and dangerous. Within the first image Jimmy is holding the shovel, the person in the middle Tommy is preparing to pull out something out of his inside pocket and the last character the driver (Henry Hill) who is just witnessing something bad about to happen. The 3rd image has used out of focus shot where the camera is focusing all on the gun rather than the dead body. These props within the opening scene of the film signal us as an audience member that these people are really dangerous as well as the central characters of the movie. The use of knife and gun was common theme within the film.
- Here are couple omage of the costumes used. A prime example of how costume reflects on the meaning of (Mise-en-scene) is Henry Hill, these two images reflect on the character’s rise from a small young boy into a matured gangster. The costume identifies how Henry’s reputation was low at the time and it represent what type of clothes he was wearing when he was young. This type of costume would have been worn by many of youths. The first picture also represents a sign of how innocence he looks as a kid, (joyful, happy) . Where as in the other image it represents a sign of power he has gained, his rise from being a low key man in terms of dress sense into a popular outfit. His costume changes to the typical mafia suit and tie.
- http://rhallj.wordpress.com/2009/10/22/cinematography-of-goodfellas-gordon-willis/
- Scorsese has used his characters well within this scene, the staging reflects on how the actors are used. Scorsese has positioned the important characters ‘Tommy’ and ‘Henry’ in the middle of the frame in both shots he cuts back and forth to. But he has also provide additional characters on the side of the two in order to gain attention from the audience letting them know that Henry and Tommy are the fundamental characters without having to say it. Also placing bottles of alcohol on the table, the actors holding a glass and Henry smoking a cigarette forms a scene that notifies us that these men are in a leisurely setting. http://gangsterfan.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/narrative-function-of-mise-en-scene-in.html http://frankums101.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04/narrative-function-of-mise-en-scene.html
