The Rhetoric of Aristotle
This document discusses Aristotle's rhetoric and its key components. It explains that rhetoric involves persuasion through logical argument (logos), establishing credibility or ethos, and appealing to emotions or pathos. The three modes of persuasion - logos, ethos, and pathos - are examined in more detail. Additionally, the document outlines the five canons of rhetoric as invention, arrangement, style, delivery, and memory.

1) The document discusses various narrative theories and techniques including those proposed by Todorov, Propp, and Levi-Strauss.
2) It introduces concepts like stock characters, binary oppositions, suspense, cliffhangers, and editing techniques like montage and ellipsis.
3) The learner is tasked to apply these narrative theories and techniques to develop their own narrative idea.
Media Studies AS - Task 8 - Theory's
The document summarizes several theorists and their theories about narrative structure:
- Tzveten Todorov believed narratives follow five stages: equilibrium, disruption, recognition, attempt to repair, restoration of equilibrium.
- Vladimir Propp theorized narratives feature certain character roles like hero, villain, dispatcher, donor, and mentor.
- Claude Levi-Strauss looked at narratives in terms of binary opposites like good/evil, past/present that reveal deeper structural arrangements.
- Roland Barthes said narratives can be "unraveled" to find different meanings and potential interpretations. He described five codes that group signifiers: hermeneutic, symbolic, proairetic, cultural, and
The Rhetoric Of Aristotle
The document summarizes Aristotle's rhetoric and its key components. It discusses three types of proof in rhetoric - logical, ethical, and emotional. Logical proof uses enthymemes and examples to draw conclusions. Ethical proof establishes the speaker's credibility through intelligence, character, and goodwill. Emotional proof involves triggering audience emotions like anger, fear, and admiration. It also briefly outlines Aristotle's five canons of rhetoric: invention, arrangement, style, delivery, and memory. The critique notes issues like lack of precision in Aristotle's terms and assumptions about audiences.

Narrative Theory (A2 G325)
Narrative theory provides frameworks for understanding how stories are structured and convey meaning. Aristotle claimed narratives involve actions that change characters' lives, containing a beginning, middle, and end. Todorov suggested narratives follow an equilibrium-disruption-resolution structure. Propp identified common character types like heroes and villains. Levi-Strauss saw narratives as involving binary oppositions. While mainstream films aim to please, counter-cinema presents unresolved contradictions of reality.
Narrative
Narrative refers to storytelling and how elements are organized to create meaning. Narratives across media share characteristics like structure and how they are informed by characters, action, and location. Narrative structures can be closed with a conclusion or open-ended. Theorists like Todorov, Propp, Barthes, and Levi-Strauss analyzed narratives and identified common patterns. Todorov saw narratives as progressing through equilibrium, disruption, and new equilibrium states. Propp identified character types like villains and heroes. Levi-Strauss explored binary oppositions. Barthes identified codes like hermeneutic and symbolic that shape narratives.

Applying narrative theory short version
This document discusses several narrative theories and concepts that can be applied when analyzing media texts, including:
1. Vladimir Propp's character archetypes which identifies 7 broad character types that frequently appear in narratives. It provides examples of how these archetypes apply to the films Star Wars and Shrek.
2. Tzvetan Todorov's theory of narrative stages which proposes that stories typically move from an initial state of equilibrium, through disruption, to a new resolution or equilibrium. It questions the relevance of these stages to audience enjoyment.
3. Claude Levi-Strauss' concept of binary oppositions which examines how opposite values and themes in a text reveal its underlying structure. It asks how familiar op

Humans exam question
Steve Neale's genre theory suggests that genres contain elements of both repetition and difference. Genres rely on repetition of conventions to provide audiences with pleasure and anticipation, but also require difference to evolve over time. The exam question asks how the TV show Humans both repeats and changes conventions of the science fiction genre through its opening and title sequences.

This document provides guidance for a music video and music magazine cross-media production project. It outlines requirements such as creating an original music video for an unsigned artist between 3-3.5 minutes long that includes various shots, locations, and elements of performance or narrative. It also requires producing a print music magazine to promote the same artist. Research must be done on music video conventions, target audiences, and industry context. A Weebly site must be used to host the finished work. Suggestions are provided for song choices and record labels to feature.
Humans industry
The document discusses the television show Humans and provides context about its production and distribution. It was a co-production between UK's Channel 4 and US network AMC. Channel 4 commissioned British production company Kudos Film & TV to produce the show, while Shine Ltd distributed it internationally and AMC distributed it in the US. The show was based on the Swedish series Real Humans and became Channel 4's highest rated drama since 1992 with two seasons of eight episodes each. It discusses how television has become a global industry with changing models of production, distribution and consumption due to new technologies and platforms.
Codes and conventions of pop music videos
Mainstream pop music videos typically feature:
- High production values shown through expensive locations and a glossy, film-like style.
- The artist is heavily featured as the central "hero" and frequently sings directly to the camera.
- A relationship between the lyrics, music, and visuals that can illustrate, amplify, or contradict the song's meaning.

The document discusses how music videos represent gender through stereotypes. It focuses on analyzing Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" music video and Bruno Mars' "Uptown Funk" music video based on Laura Mulvey's theory of the male gaze. The theory suggests that women are often objectified in videos through lingering camera shots on their bodies rather than faces and revealing costumes that invite the audience to admire their physical beauty over mental or physical strength. Students are instructed to view the videos and provide examples of how they reinforce or contradict gender stereotypes.
Gender in Riptide
This document provides objectives and background information for analyzing the music video "Riptide" through a feminist lens. It discusses several feminist media theorists including Van Zoonen, who believes media reinforce patriarchal gender stereotypes, and Mulvey, who introduced the concept of the "male gaze" and how women are objectified for the visual pleasure of male audiences. The document also discusses applying these theories to analyze representations of women, violence against women, and sexuality in "Riptide" as well as other related works.
Alevel wonder woman
The document asks the examinee to compare the representation of gender in a film poster and music video by considering the reasons for creative choices, similarities and differences in stereotypes used, and how the representations convey values and attitudes. Specifically, it directs the examinee to note that women are often presented as objects in the video, are typically victims of violence yet portrayed as helpless, but not all women are shown as helpless, and the violent acts are not meant to be viewed as pleasurable by the audience.
Discontinuity editing
The document discusses various techniques for continuity and discontinuity editing in film. Continuity editing techniques like shot-reverse-shot, parallel editing, and matching eye lines and actions are used to smoothly transition between shots and maintain logical spatial relationships. Discontinuity techniques like jump cuts, split screens, and breaking the 180 degree rule deliberately disrupt continuity to create confusion or draw attention to the filmic construction. The activity asks students to storyboard a 2 minute sequence using at least 3 discontinuity techniques and 6 continuity techniques including the 180 degree rule.

Lesson 12 context and audience ug
This document provides discussion questions and context about crime drama television shows. It examines how shows like The Sweeney from the 1970s and Luther portray different time periods and societies through their representations of issues like gender, police work, and diversity. Audience theory is also discussed, with examples of how viewers may watch crime dramas for entertainment, social reasons, or to fulfill needs around information, identity, and social integration.
Lesson 9 realism
Luther represents realism through its use of location filming, natural lighting, and diegetic sounds that place the characters in a realistic world. However, some conventions like melodramatic music and plot devices undermine the realism. The characters of Luther and Alice Morgan both exhibit stereotypical traits of their genres but also challenge conventions - Luther as a troubled maverick and Alice as a highly intelligent yet dangerous female villain. Their unconventional relationship varies typical gender roles in crime drama.
Lesson 10 sound
This document discusses how sound is used in crime dramas to create meaning. It begins by defining different types of sound, such as diegetic sounds that come from within the scene and non-diegetic sounds like music or narration that come from outside the scene. Examples are given from Jaws of how non-diegetic music can establish tone and build tension. Character themes and aural motifs are discussed as ways non-diegetic sound can identify characters. The document also covers diegetic sounds and how they can convey a character's state of mind or help establish the setting. Finally, it distinguishes between parallel sounds that match the visuals and contrapuntal sounds that provide a twist or contrast.
Story structure and screenplay
The document provides guidance for students to create scenes for a short film as part of their coursework. It outlines that students must create an opening sequence and another scene from a crime thriller or horror genre film. They will also create test editing sequences and a three-minute trailer. Comprehensive pre-production paperwork is required, including a screenplay, storyboards, budget, and location planning. The document discusses key elements of effective storytelling like compelling characters, goal-oriented plots, and interconnected events leading to a resolution.
Editing - Continuity
This document discusses various techniques for continuity editing in film. It defines continuity editing as editing that is designed to go unnoticed by the audience. It describes several specific techniques: shot-reverse-shot, which cuts between two characters in a scene; eye-line match, which cuts from a character's face to what they are looking at; match-on-action, which cuts between multiple shots and angles of the same scene; and parallel editing, which cuts between two separate locations happening at the same time. The document provides examples of these techniques and quizzes students on identifying them. It also introduces other editing techniques like cut-ins, cutaways, L-cuts, J-cuts, and graphic matches. The
Lesson 8 editing 19 20
The document provides an analysis of editing techniques used in the TV show Luther. It discusses how characters' costumes, settings, and camerawork are used to convey meaning. Key points include:
- Luther's loosened tie suggests he is unconventional and doesn't follow rules.
- Alice Morgan's hair implies she is dangerous and manipulative.
- Settings like an abandoned factory connote danger, while a normal street contrasts this.
- Shots of London establish the crime drama setting and show how a criminal could hide.
- Edits between characters establish relationships and power dynamics.
Lesson 7 camera shots
The document analyzes the use of camera shots, angles, and movements in a scene from the television show Luther. It explains that close-ups of the character Henry are used to trick the audience into thinking he is the victim, while shots of the character Luther hide his face initially, suggesting he is the villain. As the scene progresses, the camerawork shows Luther gaining power over Henry, culminating in a shot from above Luther looking down on Henry dangling over a bridge. This establishes Luther's control over the situation and foreshadows his maverick approach to law enforcement.
Lesson 6 examining the hero and villain
The document provides objectives and guidance for analyzing characters in the TV show Luther. It instructs students to identify and analyze key characters of Luther and Alice Morgan in terms of how stereotypical or conventional they are. When analyzing characters in an exam sequence, students should discuss how characters are constructed, provide examples to support their analysis, and relate it to the full episode. The document provides examples of language for character analysis and gives guidance on responding in writing for marks.
Lesson 3 character conventions
The document discusses Propp's theory of character types in narratives and applies it to the crime drama genre and the characters in the TV show Luther. Propp identified 7 typical character types that often appear in stories, including the hero, villain, dispatcher, donor, helper, false hero, and princess. It then analyzes how many of these character types can be identified in Luther and lists some common "good guy" and "villain" character types found in crime dramas. The document examines Alice Morgan and John Luther from Luther in more detail, analyzing how their costumes denote and connote aspects of their characters that position them as a typical villain and hero respectively in the crime drama genre.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Narrative lesson 2019
- 1. Narrative
- 2. Before Production Takes Place You need to understand the way narrative is constructed in music videos Have knowledge of narrative theories relating to story structure, characters and themes
- 3. What is Narrative? Claude Levi-Strauss = Binary Oppositions Vladimir Propp = Characters Tzvetan Todorov =5 conventional stages Roland Barthes = 5 narrative codes
- 4. Todorov - Classic Narrative Cause and Effect Invisible Editing Story told in chronological order: Equilibrium Disequilibrium Recognition Reparation New equilibrium
- 6. Levi- Strauss- Binary Oppositions One side is represented as the ‘right’ side who the audience can identify with and support Examples: Good and evil Past and present Normal and strange Known and unknown Heaven and earth
- 7. Propp - archetypes Hero: Seeks something Villain: Obstructs the hero Princess: Hero’s reward Father: Give of rewards Donor: Provides information and help Helper: Helps the hero Dispatcher: Sends the hero on a quest False hero In Propp’s theory, these character types are established to increase understanding from the point of view of the audience
- 8. Activity 1 In your pair select one of the films below and apply these three narrative theories: The Lion King Toy Story (any) Cinderella John Wick
- 9. Activity 2 How far can you apply these traditional narrative theories to a mainstream music video? Let’s explore some video examples
- 10. Activity 3 How about to some more alternative or niche video examples?
- 12. Narrative in Music Videos Narratives are rarely complete - often fragmentary Tend to suggest storylines Non-linear order (not cause and effect) Desire to see them again Narrative often divided between performance and conceptual clips
- 13. Time & Narrative Flashbacks Real time Reversal Dream sequence Repetition Different characters POV Ellipsis Pre-figuring of events that have not yet taken place (foreshadowing)
- 14. Types of Narrative you might see Non-linear Circular Parallel Narrative Convergent Narrative Interweaving Narrative
- 15. ROLAND BARTHES The text is like a tangled ball of threads The threads need to be unravelled Once unravelled, we encounter an absolute wide range of potential meanings We can start by looking at a narrative in one way from one viewpoint, one set of previous experience and create one meaning from that text You can continue unravelling to find different angles and meanings
- 16. Barthes’ Enigma Code Refers to any element in a story that is not explained, and therefore remains a mystery Raises questions that demand explanation Most stories hold back details in order to increase the effect of the final revelation The audience is frustrated if not all questions are answered. What enigma codes did you employ? How did you construct these?
- 17. Referential Code Meaning is created through intertextuality Is the story more apparent because of references?
- 18. Semantic Codes The connotations within the text
- 19. Symbolic Code
- 20. Key Task Analyse 3 videos Explore the extent to which you can apply the traditional or other narrative structures to the text Write a 500 word account for each video with specific examples from the text
- 21. What questions can we ask in our analysis? 1. To what extent can you apply traditional narrative theory to the video?: 1. Propp 2. Todorov 3. Levi-Strauss 4. Barthes How is time represented in the music video? or What type of narrative is presented e.g. linear, circular What effect does it have on the audience? (refer to Barthes if possible e.g. enigma) What meaning is created for the audience? Are there different interpretations?
