Movies, also known as films, are a form of visual communication that uses moving pictures and sound to tell stories or inform viewers. The history of film began in the 1890s with the invention of motion picture cameras. Early films were under a minute long since technology limited longer productions. Some key events in film history include the establishment of early film studios in 1897 and the introduction of sound in 1927. Popular film industries include Hollywood, Bollywood, and Lollywood. Common movie genres are biopics, horror, comedy, action, historical, adventure, fantasy, and science fiction. While movies entertain and educate, some can also promote violence, waste time, or establish false notions.

I Shot Andy Warhol (Mary Harron, 1996) (lecture)
The document discusses the label "based on a true story" for films and how it indicates an adaptation from multiple source texts rather than a single text. It analyzes the 1996 film "I Shot Andy Warhol" directed by Mary Harron, which adapts the true events surrounding Valerie Solanas shooting Andy Warhol in 1968. The film draws from primary sources like the SCUM Manifesto written by Solanas, biographies of Solanas and Warhol, and cultural contexts of the 1960s, dramatizing facts and myths while adding fictional elements like dialogue. The document examines how the filmmaker navigated issues of adaptation, authenticity, and their responsibility in telling a true story.
Kasebier Sherman photography slideshow
This document summarizes information about photographers Gertrude Kasebier and Cindy Sherman. It provides details on Kasebier's background, artistic style which emphasized soft focus portraits, and her fascination with photographing Native Americans. For Cindy Sherman, it notes that she is known for self-portraits exploring women's roles in society. The document also compares a portrait by Kasebier to one by Sherman, noting both feature women as the central subject and exploit lighting effects, though Kasebier's suggests delicacy while Sherman's implies danger.
Anna Deavere Smith
American actress and playwright Anna Deavere Smith is known for her one-woman plays constructed from interviews. She pioneered the technique of documentary theatre, in which she would interview real people about their experiences and then perform all the roles herself. Some of her most notable works using this method include Fires in the Mirror, about the 1991 Crown Heights riots in Brooklyn, and Let Me Down Easy, composed of interviews about the beauty of life. Currently, Smith is an associate dean at Yale and continues to use performance art to examine social issues and different perspectives.

This document discusses the history and types of theatre. It begins by exploring the origins of theatre in ancient Greek festivals celebrating Dionysus. Thespis is credited as the first actor for playing a character other than himself. Theatre serves various purposes in society from entertainment to education to political propaganda. There are many types of modern North American theatre beyond Broadway, including nonprofit, regional, community, and educational theatres. Theatre continues to both challenge social norms and bring people together.
Genre
This document discusses film genres and the concept of genre. It provides definitions of genre as a type or category of film linked by common elements. Genres have conventions and iconography that help define them. The document also discusses how genres can shift and change over time due to social and economic factors. Producers must meet audience expectations of genres while also innovating to stay competitive. Different theorists such as Ed Buscomb, Colin McArthur, Tom Ryall, and Stephan Neale are summarized as having varying views on whether iconography or narrative is most important in defining genres.
Revision 2 - Ethnicity
This document discusses the representation of ethnicity in media texts. It outlines learning objectives to analyze how African Americans are portrayed, understand two media theories on ethnicity, and conduct a textual analysis of a media text's representation of ethnicity. The document introduces Alvarado's theory of four key stereotypical representations of African Americans as exotic, dangerous, humorous, or pitied. It also defines tokenism as the superficial inclusion of marginalized groups to create an illusion of diversity rather than address discrimination.
Chapters 4 and 5
This document summarizes key concepts from chapters 4 and 5 about analyzing plays. It discusses stage directions, Aristotle's elements of plot, character, thought, language, music and spectacle. It also covers genres like tragedy, comedy and melodrama. Plot elements include exposition, inciting incident, climax and types of conflict and resolution. Characterization has biological, physical, psychological and social traits. Language and music help set the mood. Genres elicit different emotional responses from audiences.

The fluid identity of authors in social media
Getting published has never been an easier work for even the nobel laureates in literature. Then getting acclaimed for their literary piece has always been a never ending war. Mess media has never been unbiased. In a world where the greatest literary works and best seller master pieces got rejected over and over, where the people who provides the most prestigious prizes for literature nominates and awards journalists for writing diaries on the decay of communism over Soviet Union, where great thinkers like Noam Chomsky faces the popular media ban for revealing the way they are treating things which is very Euro-America centric, people who are dreaming of becoming another literary mastermind can surely be considered as one of the most difficult works.
Keeping these issues in our mind as our context, we look critically upon the history and rise of online blog spots. Because, with a white eye, we can easily see that the power of controlling the voice of the authors and thinkers is slowly drifting from the hands of media mughals. These online spaces are providing the content creator the opportunity to express their thoughts more or less freely. The filter is much less than those of in print media and popular media. In this age of hyper connectivity, when it is considered as almost suspicious not having a social media account, when each and everyone is always on standby to get interrupted, building up an audience is not an issue as well.
Can we really come to this conclusion that at least, through the fluid identity that an author carry on line, the power of expressing thoughts freely has equally been distributed among the content creator and publisher/editor? Are the social networking sites for writers going to replace the need of publication houses or are they just electric sharks that devour everything and keep no lingering impact over the readers?

Sam Evaluation question 2
This document analyzes the representation of social groups in the characters presented in a film sequence. It describes the characteristics of the two agents, protagonist, and conventional protagonist in action sci-fi movies. It notes that the Asian agent breaks conventions by being Indian, and discusses how the sequence lacks female characters but includes a positive portrayal of the Indian agent, though he is ultimately killed by the white protagonist. The document also examines decisions made in casting and the implications for representations of gender, race and British-Asian culture.
Western Genre
Western genre films are typically set in the late 1800s to early 1900s American Old West, featuring remote towns with saloons and desert landscapes. The narratives usually focus on themes of culture vs. nature, community vs. individuality, and involve gunfights and chases. Iconography includes cowboy hats, guns, horses and sheriff badges. Main characters are often cowboys seeking justice or revenge who come into conflict with villains or sheriffs in the male-dominated towns. The films have a sepia-toned, orange look and use close-ups and low camera angles during gunfight scenes.
Q4: Who would be the audience for your media product? Q5: How did you attract...
The document discusses targeting a media product's audience by considering their age, gender, and class. It aims to attract a middle-class, urban audience ages 15 through clothing, actors, and scenarios. Horror is chosen as it appeals to both genders and younger audiences. Scenes and an antagonist are included to represent both genders and counter stereotypes while still appealing to the target demographic.
Farewell My Concubine
The document discusses the 1993 film Farewell My Concubine, directed by Chen Kaige. It analyzes themes of changing identity and tradition in China through the relationships between characters. Symbols like the Beijing Opera and a sword represent the old traditions. The film uses cinematography like close-ups and changing audiences to portray its theatrical story and changing times in China. The film was based on a novel and parallels the transition from imperial to communist rule in China.
How does your media product represent particular social
David Foster represents young teenagers who commit murder as a result of trauma experienced during their teenage years, similar to the character of Carrie in the film Carrie who is bullied in high school and seeks revenge by killing other students. The document discusses how the character David Foster in a media product is meant to portray teenagers who kill after experiencing something difficult at a young age, drawing comparison to the character Carrie from the film who kills classmates seeking revenge for bullying.
The Male Gaze Theory
Laura Mulvey's 1975 essay "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema" introduced the concept of the "male gaze" to describe how films typically adopt the perspective of the heterosexual male viewer. Mulvey argues that films are constructed based on patriarchal ideals that portray women as sexual objects to be looked at. Traditionally, films give men active roles that drive the narrative, while women play more passive roles as erotic objects that slow down the plot. The male gaze results in the objectification and stereotyping of women in cinema for the visual pleasure of male audiences.
Chapter 6 + 7 Power Point THE 2000
Playwrights must create the world of the play by establishing people, action, structures, and opposing forces. A play contains a story, which includes all events mentioned, and a plot, which is only events shown on stage. Plays use dramatic structures like climactic, episodic, or circular structures to frame conflicts. Climactic structure limits scope, while episodic includes many plots and characters. Circular structure ends where it began. Plays feature protagonists who drive the plot forward against antagonists trying to thwart them. Characters can be extraordinary, representative, archetypal, or stock types defined by traits.
2012 intro to ethnicity
The document discusses representations of ethnicity in British media and common stereotypes. It notes that while ethnic minorities make up nearly 8% of the UK population, their representation in television is often limited and relies on stereotypes. Common stereotypes seen include black people portrayed as entertainers or criminals, Middle Eastern people as shopkeepers or traditional/misogynistic, and stereotypes of other groups are often absent entirely. The document argues for more progressive representations that move beyond limited stereotypes.
Expressionism
Expressionism was an artistic movement in early 20th century Germany that sought to communicate strong emotional feelings through visual artworks. Expressionist artists used techniques like distorted lines, geometric shapes, shadows, and dramatic colors to convey emotion. Common subject matters in Expressionist works included death, starvation, and other dark and sad themes. Some notable Expressionist artists mentioned include Kathe Kollwitz, Edvard Munch, Max Beckman, and Ernst Kirchner. Expressionism also influenced early expressionistic films, which were dark, creepy, and unpredictable, using stylistic techniques to create an unsettling atmosphere. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari was cited as one of the first expressionistic films due to its use
Classical Hollywood Narratives
This document discusses classical Hollywood narratives and how they have evolved. It begins with defining classical narratives and their typical elements, such as three-act structure and mise-en-scene rules. It then analyzes how some popular film franchises, like James Bond and Lord of the Rings, have both retained and adapted classical narrative elements over multiple films. While newer films still draw from classical structures, the document explores how Hollywood storytelling has also changed with new formats like television and stylists trends like "New Hollywood." In conclusion, it finds the classical model remains influential despite ongoing evolution in the industry.

Ethnicity Representations in the Media
This document discusses the representation of ethnicity in media. It begins with dictionary definitions of ethnicity as relating to cultural identity based on shared traits like race, religion or language. It then discusses Alvarado's model of common stereotypes in media representation of ethnicity: exotic, dangerous, pitied, humorous, and recently added - sexualized. The document notes that representation has changed from earlier definitions by foreignness or comedy, but minorities tend to still be defined by their otherness. It cautions that stereotypes can be dangerous if they form people's only experience of other cultures. Specific examples discussed include the demonization of young black people in some media and focus on stereotypical aspects of cultures in representations of minorities.
Western Genre
The document summarizes key elements of the Western genre of film. It describes the time period and location of typical Westerns as being the American Old West between 1865-1890. It outlines common themes around civilization versus wilderness, law enforcement versus outlaws, and the cultural separation between the East and West. It also discusses iconic visuals like cowboy hats and revolvers, as well as settings of untamed frontiers and small towns. Cinematic techniques often featured in Westerns include long shots, shadows, and gunshot sounds.
Role of Cinema
Cinema has the potential to both educate people and promote social change. It began in India in the late 1800s and has since become the largest film industry in the world. Early Indian films helped establish a domestic film industry and promote social issues. Over time, cinema has addressed topics like women's rights, labor issues, and social evils. While commercialization has increased, films still aim to spread knowledge and awareness on important social and political topics to influence public opinion and thought. When used for documentaries and education, cinema can significantly impact society by building understanding and working towards a better social order.

Understanding genre
Genre theory seeks to recognize film as both an artistic and commercial medium. It developed as an alternative to auteur theory, which viewed directors as the sole authors of films. Genres are both defined by critics and exist independently, as studios try to replicate successful film types. However, defining genres is complicated, as films can fit multiple categories and subgenres exist. The meaning and conventions of genres also depend on historical and cultural context.
