Kabuki, Noh, and Bunraku are three forms of traditional Japanese theater that developed in different centuries for different audiences. Kabuki was invented in the 16th century for commoners and used colorful costumes, makeup, and props. Noh was created in the 14th century for upper classes and used minimal costumes and props to tell legends and folktales. Bunraku emerged in the 16th century for a general audience, using black backgrounds and human-like puppets manipulated by 3 puppeteers to portray historical dramas.
The document analyzes how a soap opera trailer uses, develops, and challenges existing conventions of the genre. It discusses conventions like the use of two shots to establish relationships, reverse angle editing to show reactions, point-of-view shots to engage audiences, close-ups to show emotion, naturalistic lighting and settings to seem realistic, parallel narratives to keep audiences interested, and soundtracks to set mood. The document also notes how the trailer challenges conventions by having contrasting storylines of affairs and homosexuality rather than similar plots.
The document discusses the four costumes that will be used for the single actor in an opening sequence:
1) An alb, representing a priest, which the actor will wear while painting his face in a Kathakali style. This is intended to confuse the audience about the character.
2) A Kathakali costume, representing an Indian classical dance, also intended to confuse the audience with a foreign culture.
3) A suit, showing the actor grieving at a tombstone or walking in a church, indicating a recent funeral.
4) A black outfit of trousers and polo shirt, which the actor will wear for most of the sequence to appear mysterious and villainous.
There were three main types of traditional Japanese theater: Noh, which was performed only by samurai for the upper class using masks passed down through families; Kabuki, which began in the 1600s for the lower classes and allowed audience participation; and Bunraku, where elaborate puppets manipulated by mostly hidden puppeteers told stories with a narrator.
There were three main types of traditional Japanese theater - Noh, Kabuki, and Bunraku. Each had distinct characteristics and targeted different audiences. Noh featured sparse staging and precise movements without words. Kabuki had elaborate costumes and makeup. Bunraku used life-sized puppets manipulated by three puppeteers. Actors had low social status but those who performed for warriors gained more respect. The theaters attracted different classes - Noh and Kyogen appealed to warriors while Kabuki and Bunraku entertained the rising merchant class.
The student wrote an adventure story called "Monster Challenge" set in a grassland, desert, and forest with different monsters in each setting. They enjoyed writing the story and found adventure to be an easy genre. During the planning process, the student learned about the importance of cooperation when working with others. When drafting the story, the student practiced writing dialogue and action scenes. The student then learned how to use iMovie software to create a movie adaptation of the story with classmates. Some challenges included creating the storyboard and editing soundtracks. Overall, the student was proud of completing the movie and learned new technology skills through the project.
Kabuki is a traditional Japanese dance-drama form that originated in the 17th century. Performances feature elaborate costumes, makeup, and wigs to convey character emotions and statuses. Kabuki was initially performed by women on riverbanks but grew rapidly in popularity. Today, Kabuki continues as a form of entertainment using stages, music, and trained actors to convey stories through dance and drama without dialogue. Actors rely on music cues and use elaborate makeup in specific colors to represent character traits and emotions. Costumes are extravagant and colorful, typically made of silk and embroidered.

Wayang Kulit is a form of shadow puppet theater from Bali and Java. The Dalang puppeteer manipulates leather puppets behind a screen while singing, speaking in different voices for characters, and providing sound effects. The Gunungan symbol in the center of the screen separates good and bad characters and signals the start and end of a performance. The Dalang is illuminated from above by an oil lamp often in the shape of the mythical bird Garuda to project the puppets' shadows onto the screen. Popular stories featured in Wayang Kulit include the Ramayana and include characters like Rama, Sita, Hanuman, and Ravana.
BFI Film Classics’ 20th Anniversary: Designer CoversBFIbooks

occasion, we have published limited anniversary editions of three new and nine key
backlist titles in the series, with specially commissioned covers by leading graphic
designers, artists, illustrators and photographer.
Kabuki originated in 1603 in Japan and emerged from Noh theater, though they have key differences. Kabuki focuses on dance ("kabuki" means "to lean" referring to dancing) while Noh emphasizes dance as a separate element. Kabuki features actors portraying heroes, females, thieves, and more with significance placed on costumes and facial paint to convey characteristics. Though Kabuki and Noh still exist today as traditional Japanese performing arts, it is important to preserve these cultural forms for future generations.

Parabolic antenna alignment system with Real-Time Angle Position FeedbackStevenPatrick17
Introduction
Parabolic antennas are a crucial component in many communication systems, including satellite communications, radio telescopes, and television broadcasting. Ensuring these antennas are properly aligned is vital for optimal performance and signal strength. A parabolic antenna alignment system, equipped with real-time angle position feedback and fault tracking, is designed to address this need. This document delves into the components, design, and implementation of such a system, highlighting its significance and applications.
Importance of Parabolic Antenna Alignment
The alignment of a parabolic antenna directly affects its performance. Even minor misalignments can lead to significant signal loss, which can degrade the quality of the received signal or cause communication failures. Proper alignment ensures that the antenna's focal point is accurately directed toward the signal source, maximizing the antenna's gain and efficiency. This precision is especially crucial in applications like satellite communications, where the antenna must track geostationary satellites with high accuracy.
Components of a Parabolic Antenna Alignment System
A parabolic antenna alignment system typically includes the following components:
Parabolic Dish: The primary reflector that collects and focuses incoming signals.
Feedhorn and Low Noise Block (LNB): Positioned at the dish's focal point to receive signals.
Stepper or Servo Motors: Adjust the azimuth (horizontal) and elevation (vertical) angles of the antenna.
Microcontroller (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi): Processes sensor data and controls the motors.
Potentiometers: Provide feedback on the antenna's current angle positions.
Fault Detection Sensors: Monitor for potential faults such as cable discontinuities or LNB failures.
Control Software: Runs on the microcontroller, handling real-time processing and decision-making.
Real-Time Angle Position Feedback
Real-time feedback on the antenna's angle position is essential for maintaining precise alignment. This feedback is typically provided by potentiometers or rotary encoders, which continuously monitor the azimuth and elevation angles. The microcontroller reads this data and adjusts the motors accordingly to keep the antenna aligned with the signal source.
Fault Tracking in Antenna Alignment Systems
Fault tracking is vital for the reliability and performance of the antenna system. Common faults include cable discontinuities, LNB malfunctions, and motor failures. Sensors integrated into the system can detect these faults and either notify the user or initiate corrective actions automatically.
Design and Implementation
1. Parabolic Dish and Feedhorn
The parabolic dish is designed to reflect incoming signals to a focal point where the feedhorn and LNB are located. The dish's size and shape depend on the specific application and frequency range.
2. Motors and Position Control
Stepper motors or servo motors are used to control the azimuth and elevation of

1. Kalank A VFX Rich Movie Know How
The release of multi-starrer movie Kalank in the month of April 2019 left its audience
spell bound.
Here in this blog let’s take a look in the VFX rich movie Kalank.
Kalank is directed by Abhishek Varman and produced by Karan Johar, Fox Star Studio
and Sajid Nadiadwala.
Kalank is about a love story set in 1945 pre-independent British era.
The actors who played the role are Madhuri Dixit, Sonakshi Sinha, Alia Bhatt, Varun
Dhawan, Sanjay Dutt and Aditya Roy Kapur.
The main shooting took place in Film City Mumbai.
The film was made on a budget of rupees 150 crore.
Elaborate Set Of Kalank
2. Set designer Amrita Mahal Nakai worked on the beautiful massive set of Kalank.
To bring the director Abhishek Varman’s imagination into reality the production team
did lot of research about the set decoration to make it as authentic as possible.
The set showed the famous Hira Mandi market of Lahore.
The story line of this film follows Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan in the undivided India.
Amrita told that they retained the essence of Lahore City as it was in 1940s.
Amrita and her team brought back the style of architecture of that period of time.
To this grand set VFX artist added effects to enhance the scenes.
Bringing the director’s imagination into reality was a challenge for the set designer.
While keeping in mind the theme of the film Red colour has been used extensively in
Kalank.
Red is the colour of love, passion, power and blood; it is an emotional colour and every
frame of Kalank has this colour extensively.
VFX team used different shades of Red to make each frame vibrant and energetic.
The story of Kalank unfolds amidst the communal tensions during the partition so red is
there in the plot and characters.
3. The shade of blue colour also used inside the palace which gave an amazing look to the
set.
Blue canal water was matched with the colour of door and wall.
4. Not only the set, even the costumes, lighting and props also received various shades of
red colour.
The gorgeous Madhuri Dixit in Indian authentic attire with red dupatta over her head
and heavy jewellery portrayed the role of enchanting Bahaar Begum.
Bathed in the colour of red her eyes carried emotion of sadness and pain throughout the
plot of the movie.
In fact the multi-starrer poster of Kalank with red background is mainly developed by
the use of VFX.
VFX Enhanced The Scenes
5. In Kalank Alia Bhatt as Roop arrives in a dream-like town of Lahore.
The pleasant lotus ponds with cosy boats, floating huge lotus leaves, oversized
chandeliers in the palace of Bahar Begum, lace curtains, horse carriages, costumes with
intricate details provided a mesmerising effect on the audience.
From the wide range of colour palette VFX artist team selected the suitable colours to
add extra spark in the visuals.
FluiidMask Studio located at Mumbai handled the VFX of this movie.
FluiidMask Studio’s VFX Supervisor shared that “Kalank has fair amount of VFX and it
will be stunning.”
At FluiidMask artists worked on the colour correction of the shots to make the shots
more appealing.
VFX artists gave the colour texture to the water and made the flowers more bright and
colourful.
Beautifully designed lavish palace of Bahaar Begum is a visually treat for the audience.
Lighting and texture has been applied so intricately at every nook and corner of the
palace that it left impressions on the viewers.
In the above image we can see the red colour shade at the background wall of the
palace.
6. In the song ‘Tabaah Ho Gaye’ one can find her performing her trademark pose in
anarkali suit.
The First Class song featuring Varun Dhawan and Kiara Advani had almost 500 backup
dancers.
Shot at the Hira Mandi set, this song showed the narrow streets, brick staircases and
houses of 1940s period.
CG Bull-Fight Scenes
7. Varun Dhawan as character Zafar played the role of Macho Man.
Varun performed all the stunts himself under the guidance of action director Sham
Kaushal Ji.
The actor went through rigorous physical training to make the body needed for the
script.
The character Zafar is someone who flirts with life and danger.
The bull-fight sequence surrounded by audience was shot for 8 days on a hot sunny day
in Mumbai.
But luckily the bull was not real, it was a CG or computer generated bull.
VFX team created the bull by using 3D model in 3d software and later added the
animation to the bull for movement.
Fighting with real bull could be life risky so the CG bull was introduced in the null fight
sequence.
The bull fighting arena has partly been crafted by VFX.
The back ground pillars and the broken wall structures were created with the CG tools.
8. The above image of Alia Bhatt with kite in the background of mountains is captured
through the use of Chroma keying merged with VFX techniques.
The snow covered mountains has been inserted at the background during the post
production stage.
As the film Kalank was mainly shot at the Film City Mumbai so it is quite obvious that
this type of shot has been created at post production stage.
This shot too is crafted by VFX.
The grand and huge set of Hira Mandi in the heart of Mumbai is not surrounded by the
mountains and river.
But in the above shot we can see river and mountains at the background.
Moreover the burning Ravan is also added with the VFX in the mid ground of the shot.
9. Now days fire can be generated with the use of VFX, there are software to build fire on
shots so it is not necessary to use the real fire in the shooting set.
Through strong VFX Kalank’s each and every frame received colour, texture, lighting,
fire and mood to highlight the emotion of the storyline.
Kalank with its rich VFX and mesmerising grand set will make a place in the heart of its
audience.
