The document discusses several key elements of filmmaking including settings and props, costumes and makeup, lighting, camera shots, and character positioning. It explains that settings are carefully crafted or selected locations that reflect the filmmaker's vision. Props help define a film's identity and advance the plot. Costumes, hair, and makeup indicate a character's personality and social status while lighting is used to draw attention, set mood, and influence audience perception. Camera shots emphasize facial expressions and body language differently based on distance. Character positioning within the frame directs audience attention and is used to show relationships or create unsettling feelings.

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
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)

By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
1. Settings and props
The settings used in a film are very rarely just backgrounds to the
characters' dialogue, they are more detailed and a great time and effort is put
into this. Filmmakers can choose to build a setting from scratch using the bare
walls and floors of a studio set or they can hire a location manager who will
find an appropriate setting that already exists. This location will then most
likely be altered to reflect what the filmmaker wants to convey.
Props are the objects within a setting which play a part in the action,
rather than just being part of the background. They can also help define a movie's identity - such
as the Chainsaw from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise.
Costume, hair and make up
Costume is an important part of mise-en-scene because it can be an instant
indicator to the audience about a character's personality, social status and
job. It can tell us which era a film is set in, what culture/society the film is
trying to convey and also it may foreshadow the action that character will play
in the film. Some costumes are stereotypically identified with certain genres of
film. Masks in horror have helped create iconic brand, such as the Halloween mask here from
the highly successful 70s franchise.
Make up was originally used to highlight facial features as the film would've
been shot in black and white.
Expressions and camera shots
Depending on the camera shot, there will be a different emphasis placed on facial expressions
and body language because of the range of distances. We understand that facial expression are
a clear indicator as to how someone is feeling and how small changes can send out totally
different signals. Eyes give particularly important signals to the audience as we follow the
direction of their sight so the filmmaker can draw attention to something in the frame more easily.
The way in which we move our bodies also indicates how we are thinking and feeling and as
with facial expressions, there are some elements of body language that the audience will
recognise. Some films use a more realistic approach to body language, such as crying, whereas
others will use unrealistic types of behaviour that the audience accept regardless, such as
bursting into song. This iconic scene from Paranormal Activity (2007) indicates her possession.
Lighting and colour
Lighting can aim to give a scene a realistic look or to bring out the dramatic nature of it and we
associate these different lighting styles with different genres. Lighting can be used to create a
variety of effects, such as highlighting characters or objects within a frame to draw attention to
them using a bright light source, to make a character look mysterious by shading sections of
their body/face or even alternating bright and dark light to reflect a character's confused state of
mind. The audience tends to associate certain colours with certain genres and they can easily
influence the mood of a scene. In The Ring (2004) in post production colour was filtered out to
help create literally a "darker world".
2. Positioning of characters and objects within a frame
There are various ways in which filmmakers can use positioning in a scene.
For example, if the filmmaker chooses to position a character or an object in the foreground, we
know that it is significant as the mise-en-scene has been used to direct our attention towards
them, whereas if an object or a character is in the background, it is likely to have less
significance.
A moving body against a stationary background will draw our attention to them as well.
If characters or objects are positioned evenly within the frame, the shot will feel balanced,
whereas if all the figures were on one side it would cause an imbalance for the eye. The spacing
within a shot can be used to make the audience feel settled or unsettled and therefore involve
them in the action.
Also, if the positioning of the figures draws our attention to the diagonal lines of a frame it can
imbalance the eye and once again make us feel uncomfortable.
The filmmaker can use positioning to indicate relationships as well. Hitchcock went to great
lengths with his shower scene in Psycho (1960) creating a shower with removable walls so he
could carefully place Marion Crane to create a realistic death sequence.
