Movie critic
The document summarizes the author's reactions to two movies: P.S. I Love You and Eat Pray Love. For P.S. I Love You, the author was intrigued by the plot but disappointed by the ending, though upon a second viewing did feel emotional. For Eat Pray Love, the author was surprised by the high level of crying among both male and female characters and found it an odd choice for a movie starring Julia Roberts, expecting a more lighthearted romantic comedy instead of a "weeping movie." The author questions what such movies reveal about the mindsets of Western audiences and expresses a desire to read the books to gain more context.

The music video uses conventions of indie pop genres to tell a story about domestic violence and its impacts.

While utilizing some stereotypes about gender roles, the video aims to challenge hypersexualization and focus more on the female protagonist's emotions to avoid objectification.
Music promo video research 1
The document provides an analysis of two music videos and discusses Andrew Goodwin's theory of common features in music videos. It finds that the "Suit & Tie" video by Justin Timberlake establishes the artist through many close-ups and references old musical styles through its black-and-white aesthetic. The "Route 94" video takes place in a nightclub and focuses on notions of drug/alcohol use and sexuality through dim lighting and close-ups of individuals. It also references Michael Jackson's seminal and narrative-driven "Billie Jean" video which prominently features the artist and relates its visuals and detective storyline to the song's lyrics.
Narrative essay
The student analyzed their music video for Pixie Lott's song "It's All About Tonight" in relation to narrative theory. The video tells the story of a woman who wants to go out partying with her friends to forget her troubles from work. This narrative fits with the song's target audience of females aged 16+. The video includes scenes of the woman dancing with friends and relaxing in a hot tub, representing common experiences of the target viewers. While it does not have a deeply complex narrative, the video's story of fun and relaxation relates to the theories of recycled music video styles and viewers seeing themselves in the characters.

Our media project incorporates similarities to professional media texts in several ways:
The webpage draws inspiration from professional music websites by including sections like the home page, gallery, about the artist, and a video page to promote the band.
Though original, the CD cover layout is similar to a professional release with a front cover image, track listing on one side and lyrics on the other, giving it a polished look.
Key similarities between our project and a professional band's materials are highlighted, such as gallery and video content on the website along with comparable CD track listing layout, while still maintaining originality.
After Effects
This 3 sentence summary provides the key details about the document:
The document demonstrates how to use Adobe After Effects to create a green screened sequence by importing green screen footage and a background file, ordering the files so the green screen footage is at the front, using the color key tool to remove the green background, adjusting the color tolerance and thinness to remove the green without cutting into the subject, and showing the completed green screened footage over a moving rain background suited to the mood of the video.
Premiere Demonstration
The document provides steps for editing the first 30 seconds of a video using Adobe Premiere:
1. Open the software and select "New Project" to begin. Name the project and select a location for the files.
2. Import video clips and music files by selecting "Import" and navigating to file locations.
3. Drag imported files to the timeline. Use cutting tools to trim clips as needed.
4. Piece together trimmed clips by dragging them to link in the timeline.
5. Click "Render" to process the edited video for export.
Master catalogue + calendar
The document describes a master catalogue and calendar that were created using Celtx to organize a music video project. The master catalogue contains categories for characters, props, and other elements, and allows descriptions and images to be added for each. A calendar was also made listing the filming and editing dates to keep the project on schedule. Both tools provide organization that is helpful for the coursework.
Step-By-Step
This document provides a step-by-step guide to creating a professional CD cover in Photoshop CS4 in 5 steps:
1) Setting up a new file with the correct dimensions for a CD insert.
2) Creating a border and rasterizing shapes to manipulate objects.
3) Inserting and styling text.
4) Dragging and dropping an image, selecting parts of it, and placing on separate layers.
5) Experimenting with filters to refine the image and combining all elements into the final cover design.
Aspects Of Music Videos
Common motifs in music videos include fragmentation of the body through close-ups and objects obscuring the body, themes of mystery and mythology shown through gothic or fantasy scenes, and depictions of horror through violence and monsters to evoke negativity. Directors also include shots of the filming process and set to remind viewers that the video is fictional. Ritual celebration through party scenes promotes happy emotions and challenges stereotypes. Impossible sequences use animation, slow motion, and effects to make videos more interesting. Narrative breaks with live performances and bright lights fragment the story and intrigue viewers.

Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous? Risks and Benefits!
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
chakra yoga - kundalini yoga - awakening
chakra yoga
Number of petals: 4 Location: Base of the spine Name: Foundation
Plane: Physical plane Sense Organ: Nose Work Organ: Anus Sense: Smell Element: Earth Shape: Square Sound: Lang
Muladhara is the root centre of physical experience, located at the base of the spine, the sacral plexus. The square represents the earth itself, the four dimensions and the four directions. Four allows for completion, and earth embodies the elements and conditions for human completion on all levels.
Muladhara Chakra is the meeting place of the three main nadis: Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. The downward-pointing triangle indicates the downward movement of energy and the three main nadis.
The seed mantra is Lam, the yellow square represents the earth element. The Muladhara chakra governs the vital breath Apana. An inverted triangle in the centre of the square encloses the unmanifest Kundalini, represented as a snake wrapped in three and a half coils around the svayambhu (self born) linga. Because her mouth faces downward, the flow of energy is downward.
The opening at the entrance of the sushumna is called brahma-dvara, the door of Brahma, which is closed by the coils of the sleeping Kundalini. As soon as one begins working with Muladhara chakra, this dormant energy awakens, raises its head and flows freely into the channel of Sushumna, the central nerve canal that runs along the spine. These two aspects of the kundalini: sleeping and waking, are identified as her “poison” and her “nectar.” The kundalini is poison when she remains asleep in the lower abdomen; she is nectar when she rises up through Sushumna, the medial channel, to reunite with Siva, the Absolute, in the yogin’s cranial vault.
In the pericarp is found the presiding deity Brahma, the lord of creation. His skin is the color of wheat, he wears a yellow dhoti and a green scarf. Brahma is four-faced, four-armed, holding in his upper left hand a lotus flower, the symbol of purity.

OM Meditation - ultimate meditation technique
PHASE-IV
The very deep experience of silence helps to expand from the 3 - dimensional awareness of the body to all pervasive awareness. The bed of silence becomes deeper and more expansive - an ocean of silence with waves on it merge into complete silence called Ajapa state of the mind. This silence is the source of Creativity, Power, Knowledge and Bliss.
PHASE V
From this deep ocean of silence in the heart region, let one OM emerge as an audible sound which diffuses into the entire body and the space all around. Enjoy the beautiful vibrations.
Blink the eyes slowly, gently open the eyes and come out of meditation.
sanskrit yoga mantras chanting for yoga class
Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.

In his search towards reality or the unchanging fundamental unit of this universe, a scientist started with the external gross world of solid matter which is simple and easy to see, divide, and do experiments with.
This search led him through steps of understanding of this entire world of matter starting from elements, molecules, atoms, protons, neutrons and electrons;
He further understood that it is all packets of energy.
The atoms conglomerate together to form various chemicals; our body is therefore a permutation and combination of various chemicals. (Packets of energy in various configurations) When they join together they form molecules, cells, tissues organs, etc.
These follow certain well defined laws of nature and are controlled by nervous (electrical) and chemical (hormones) mechanisms to bring about movement and action in each and every cell.
Thus annamaya kosha is the physical frame which the grossest of the five Koshas.Recently uploaded (20)

Like A Prayer Analysis
- 1. ‘Like A Prayer’ Video analysis
- 2. This is significant clip in the video as it shows why this video is controversial. This shows that Jesus is black in the video and it goes against motifs of Jesus being white and this was very controversial in the 80’s.
- 3. This again adds to the controversy as the man being arrested is the same man as Jesus in the video. It is also the motif of racism as the black man is being arrested by the white policeman for something he didn’t do.
- 4. This clip shows the motif of violence as a group of men rape and kill a girl. This then leads on to the black man getting arrested as he finds the body and gets caught at the scene.
- 5. This scene shows ritual celebration. This is a motif because music videos usually show partying and dancing which this is, even though it is in a religious way.
- 6. This clip shows a scene in black and white which means the scene is a flashback. This is a motif because this happens in other videos just to show the audience that it is a flashback otherwise it would be hard to understand.
- 7. This clip is one of the reasons why the video is so controversial because she is kissing Jesus who is black and who was also the suspected criminal in the earlier part of the video.
- 8. This clip is also very controversial as when this happens it is said to show that you have been touched by God, therefore as Madonna at the time in the 80’s was very open about her sexuality and this clip said she has been touched by God which may of angered people.
- 9. This is fragmentation of the body. This is very common in music videos making it a motif. It can be of any part of the body but in this case it is black Jesus’ hand but there were other fragmentations of the body in the video to chose from.
