Performance
The document discusses various aspects of performance including body language, facial expressions, and dialogue. It provides examples from films like The Break Up, Lord of the Rings, and Se7ev to illustrate how actors use their body, face, and speech to communicate information to audiences. The document also lists 10 "body codes" like proximity, orientation, gestures, and eye movement that actors employ to convey meaning through their physical performance.
Shot size 1 master shot, reverse angle
This document discusses different types of camera shots used when filming two actors talking to each other. A master shot shows both actors and the environment, while an over-the-shoulder shot focuses on one actor's face and body language as they speak. For reverse angle shots of the actors talking, the same shot size should be used to maintain visual consistency between angles.
Preliminary analysis
The document provides feedback on three film scenes: a shot reverse shot scene showing two characters talking was well edited but could have benefited from another angle; a match on action scene of a character walking through a door and down stairs had editing that worked well with the soundtrack but slightly unstable camerawork; and feedback that a shot transition from the first to second scene was done well by keeping the characters on their own sides to show continuity while changing the viewing angle to focus on the action.
Cast and Crew: Love on the Line
Banke Adebola is the stage director in charge of guiding the actors and ensuring scenes match the storyboard. Sybill Scott and Zoe Haines will share camera operator duties, with Sybill also directing and overseeing locations and performances. Zoe Haines is responsible for the storyboard and shot types. Laura Heath will play the main character Jessica Long and lead the editing work. Jordon Auguste Ryan and Sean Simmons were cast as Eddie Lee and Trevor Watson respectively based on their looks and acting ability.
Shot reverse shot
Shot reverse shot is a filming technique used when characters are conversing where the camera cuts between shots of each character, allowing the audience to associate that they are talking to each other, even if not fully in frame together. This technique provides an eyeline match between two characters and switches perspectives to film the conversation from both angles in an alternating pattern during editing.
Syd field’s 3 act plot
Syd Field suggested that films can be divided into three acts: the setup, confrontation, and resolution. There are plot points between the acts that change characters' lives and relationships, altering the tone. The setup grabs audience attention in the first 10 minutes by introducing the main character and problem. In the confrontation, the character faces escalating problems helplessly until finding a better approach by the second plot point. The resolution has the character take control and achieve victory over their enemy.
Placement of objects
The document discusses composition and framing techniques for photography. It introduces the rule of thirds for placing objects in an image by imagining a 3x3 grid and positioning subjects at the intersection points. Lines like vertical, horizontal and diagonal can add dynamic impact and guide the viewer's eye. Having a clear focal point is important so the viewer's eye has a place to rest on and be drawn into the photo. Emphasizing the focal point draws more attention to the main subject.

This is a paper about I am Sam. I need someone to do the fixes to it that the teacher asked. I need it done by 10 pm.
About the movie:
In the movie, Sam is main character. The role of Sam in the movie is mentally retarded male. He has the mental capacity of a seven year old. He faces so many issues throughout the movie. But main issue is related to gain the custody of his daughter. The daughter of Sam, Lucy is the seven years old. Her teachers fear that Sam’s aptitude is holding her back because she does not want to be smarter than her father. The girl loves her father very much. Then Lucy has taken away from Sam by the authorities (
Scott, 2001
). This movie is very interesting and this has taught about the different forms of the communication and ho these forms of the communication were used.
Analysis of first communication element:
I am Sam movie shows the good relationship between Sam and his daughter Lucy. Lucy loves Sam very much. First communication element which can be seen in the movie is the relational dialectics. This can be seen in the various scenes in the movie. In the movie, I found closeness and openness, autonomy and connection and novelty and certainty. The relationship between Sam and Lucy shows the closeness and connection.
The first scene in the movie is when Sam and his daughter Lucy are at the IHOP restaurant. This scene shows the novelty and predictability. In the scene, Sam shows the predictability by ordering the same thing as always (
Thomas & Kevin, 2001
). Lucy shows the novelty because she wants to go and try a new restaurant that she has never tried before. This shows the set of desires of Lucy. Every individual has the set of desires.
The second scene in the movie is when there was the birthday party of the daughter of Sam, Lucy. This scene reflects the autonomy and connection. This was the celebration of the 7
th
birthday of Lucy. One boy in the party tells to Sam that Lucy said that she is adopted then Lucy comes in the time with the social workers to save Sam. This shows the connection among the father and daughter.
Thus, in both the scenes, the movie shows the relationship dialectic of the father and daughter. It shows the connection between them. This shows the contradictions in the relations. The movie teaches that the relation dialectics is the emotional and value based. This shows the desire to be connected with others. These scenes taught that some people need to be predictable for maintaining their life style (
Scott, 2001
). These scenes also taught that even though you love someone very much then you still need your autonomy.
Analysis of second communication element:
The second communication element is the movie I am Sam, can be seen is the form of the nonverbal communication. The communication element is the facial expressions. This can be seen in the various scenes in the movie. Sam is mentally retarded, so the people can understand his feeling by seeing at face.

Editing analysis
Jump cuts are used in a scene to compare the facial expressions of characters. One character with a scar appears confident speaking to another man, who seems uncomfortable and avoids staring at the scar. A cutting rate shot interrupts the initial scene, emphasizing the shock of one character's scarred face and how others react with surprise and avoidance. These cuts are motivated by the audience's desire to see characters' reactions and facial expressions, as tension rises during their conversation.

Flight of the Conchords can be defined as a postmodern text based on several criteria. The TV show incorporates elements of postmodern theory as described by Strinati, such as blurring genre boundaries and playing with audience expectations. However, it also employs traditional media concepts at times. Overall, while Flight of the Conchords displays some postmodern features, it cannot be purely defined as postmodern and still incorporates traditional elements of narrative and representation. The show challenges rigid definitions of postmodernism.
Post modern concepts
This document discusses key concepts in traditional media and how postmodern texts challenge those concepts in three main ways. It outlines how postmodern media draws attention to its construction, challenges genre conventions through hybridity and subversion, and subverts audience expectations of representation, ideology and narrative through new stereotypes, ideas, and non-linear or open-ended structures. The postmodern audience is also described as diverse, fragmented, and active rather than passive.
Section A audience
The document discusses several theories of media audiences, including reception theory which states that audiences interpret media texts in different ways based on their own experiences and perspectives, rather than just accepting the producer's intended meaning. It also examines the hypodermic needle theory, which suggests audiences passively accept messages from media, and uses and gratifications theory, which proposes that audiences actively engage with media to fulfill various needs and desires.
Audience theory
This document summarizes several theories about media audiences:
- Cultivation theory suggests that repeated exposure to similar media representations can shape people's views of the world.
- Reception theory examines how audiences can interpret media messages in preferred, negotiated, or oppositional ways.
- Participatory culture theory describes how audiences actively engage with media texts by creating and sharing their own works.
- More recent theories argue that digital technologies have transformed passive audiences into active producers who can respond to and create their own media content.
Media language
This document discusses film techniques including camerawork, editing, mise en scene, and sound. It provides a specific example of each technique and explains how they relate to meaning and audience response. In a concise manner, the document outlines key cinematic elements.
Media language section a
The document discusses various concepts relating to how meaning is created through media language. It defines key terms like denotation and connotation, and how they relate to encoding and decoding meaning. Elements of media language that create meaning are explained, such as mise-en-scene, camerawork, editing, and sound. The importance of understanding how these micro-level techniques construct intended meanings and can allow for alternative readings is highlighted. Analyzing one's own media products in terms of the specific examples of how these elements create key meanings and audiences' potential alternative interpretations is presented as a task for revising one's work.
Using conventions
This document provides guidance on answering exam questions about using conventions from real media texts in your own work. It emphasizes showing how your understanding of conventions has developed over time through various projects. It recommends discussing both technical conventions as well as symbolic conventions related to narrative, representation, themes and messages. Students are advised to structure their answer with an introduction about the projects, paragraphs discussing skills and examples from early and later projects, and a conclusion. The document also contains advice on analyzing other students' work and planning essay answers.

Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)

AI & Electronic WarfareEssentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
