Response Paper 2 length: 500-700 words style: MLA (be certain you cite any sources you use) film: Memento due: by midnight, Tuesday 26 February Choose one of the following questions and answer it using specific details and observations of the movie’s formal composition. You do not need an introduction or a conclusion (this is a very short paper), but you should have a clearly identifiable thesis, which makes a claim about the way the film’s meaning is conveyed through its form. -- ~What is one object (prop) that is important to the film? How do characters interact with it, and how is it relevant to the plot or story? How is its significance communicated in the way that it is filmed? How is it a part of the film’s meaning, in terms of its interest in broad themes like violence, revenge, tragedy, grief, belief, stories, history, disability, the nature of the self, the nature of relationships, etc? ~What is one setting that is important to the film? How do characters move through this setting or talk about it in ways that show its role in the movie? How is it dressed, lit, and filmed to convey its significance to both the story and the themes listed above? ~What is one place where a specific piece of language is important to this movie? What is the importance of this piece of language, and does it occur visually, as dialogue, as voice-over or voice-off, as non-diegetic language, etc.? How does this language contribute to the film’s representation of the themes listed above? nb: I’ll leave Memento on reserve at the library; it’s also available in iterations of variable, but mostly low, quality on YouTube. I definitely don’t recommend you rely on these YouTube versions, but you can use them to remind yourself of plot details or dialogue if necessary. **To get full credit for this assignment, continue to analyze and write specifically: identify specific details and describe what the effect of those specific details have, distinct from what other elements of the movie does: how they contribute to the effectiveness of the scene, why you believe the director made these particular choices.** ...

Film Worksheet
Art Education 1600
Art and Music since 1945
For this assignment, you are to see a film this semester and fill out your worksheet. Use the skills you learned for the Art Worksheet, but now you have to analyze the combination of sound and moving images.Step 1 Select a Film
Selecting a film to watch is more than picking a movie with favorite actors or a genre you like (science fiction, superheroes, detective mysteries, romance). The film you pick should have enough interesting content to write about. It helps to inform yourself with two kinds of film reviews. First, professional critics have seen many movies and write from a well-informed point of view, but theirs is just one point of view. Beyond the perspective of Professional critic, there are the reviews from moviegoers, like yourselves, who post their responses on blogs and theater websites. Viewer reviews can be just as valid as professional reviews, so long as they explain why they feel the way they do about a film. Both kinds of reviews can help you narrow your choice of a film, and in the end, pick a film you feel like writing about.
11 pts: State the title of the film you chose and a write brief synopsis of the film in your words (90 to 100 words):
Citations and References
If you decide you use ideas from the film reviews or any source, write the name of the source here AND Cite the source(s) where you use them:
REMEMBER
1. You must view the film for this worksheet personally and you must see it in a theater this semester. (Free screenings at the Union also count as a theater). Even if you choose an older film made in 1945 or later, we want you to see the film in a theater. At a theater, you sense the effects of the sound and moving images as they were intended. Films reproduced for television or on DVD on a home system lose the effect you sense in a theater.
2. Connect your review of the film with the cultural and social ideas we address in class. How do you think audiences relate the narrative on screen with other narratives in the press or entertainment media? Superheroes, for example, save the day when complicated agencies of government and military fail.
3. Look over the Film Worksheet before you attend the film, so you know what to look for in the film. Taking notes during the film is usually a problem, but you can make your notes afterward. You might be surprised at how much you will recall about the film and your experience of viewing it.

Narrative/Storytelling
Our textbook sets up a distinction between story and plot, stating that story is what happens in a movie, and plot is
how
it happens. The distinction may seem minor; however, throughout this course, we will be scrutinizing the various aesthetic choices and cinematic techniques that work together to create meaning in any movie. With that in mind, we can understand that the way a film presents action can be as important as the action it is presenting.
For your initial blog post
Select a full-length film and identify the title, writer, director, major actors, and the year it was released.
Summarize the story and plot of your chosen movie.
Discuss whether your film is presented chronologically or non-linearly. In your discussion, address the following:
How did this aesthetic choice contribute to the general effect on the audience?
How are elements like character development or foreshadowing impacted by the choice of storytelling methods?
If the film had followed a different presentation style, how would the general effect on the audience have been different?
You must use at least two outside sources, in any combination of embedded video clips, still photos, or scholarly sources. All sources should be documented in APA style.

The Writing AssignmentWatch a movie that you want and write an.docx
The Writing Assignment
Watch a movie that you want and write an essay evaluating the movie. State your judgment (thesis statement) clearly, and support it with a convincing argument based on standards of value that your readers will be likely to agree. Assuming that your readers do not know anything about the movie, you describe it and inform them why the movie is recommended to watch or graded low. Provide a brief plot summary so that the audience can get an idea of what the movie is about. You also discuss about the strengths and/or weaknesses of the movie. Do not simply retell the story of the movie. This is not a story-telling test.
It is important to have a thesis statement in the introduction, and a topic sentence and supporting details in each body paragraph. Introduction and conclusion should be connected in a way or another. Try to reduce errors as many as possible. If you have many errors, you will not get a satisfactory grade. Do not simply retell the story of the movie.
Basic features of evaluation
A Well-presented subject
A clear, well-balanced judgment
A convincing argument
Pointed comparison/compare and contrast similarities and differences with a movie that belongs to the same genre.
Organization
Present the background, a brief plot summary of the movie that offers the foundation of your evaluation.
Discuss the universal criteria you will analyze in the essay as you evaluate the film.
Judge the movie from your critical perspective(s).
Body paragraphs
Give several reasons and support them with convincing details (evidence) from the movie.
Plot: How is the story told (chronological, flashback, or
flashforward
)? Why do you think the director structure the movie that way? How does the plot contribute to making the movie theme? Is the story interesting? Confusing? Moving? Believable? Just a copy of other movies that you’ve seen? What specific parts do you think problematic or efficient?
Genre: what type of movie is this? For example, action, adventure, horror, sci-fi, romance, mystery, comedy, tragedy, documentary? How is the movie evaluated, for example in the ranking? How does the movie attract the audience?
Pace: Is the movie slow-paced? Or action-packed? What parts were dull or exciting? How does the pace contribute to the story? Why do you think the director set that pace in the movie?
Acting: How is the acting done? Do they seem to be acting effectively? How much the acting contribute to the movie?
Music: What kind of music is used as a sound track? Is the music proper to the subject of the movie? How does the music create the mood of the scenes?
Dialogue: Does it sound natural? Were there any specific scenes of the movie where dialogue stood out for some reasons? Any memorable dialogue?
Any social, political, issues: What message does the movie try to send to the audience?
Remember you should use specific examples (dialogue, scene...) from the movie to support each above category.

Short screenplay writing
The document provides advice on key elements to consider when writing a short screenplay. It discusses the importance of the protagonist and having a clear active question that drives the action. It also addresses who or what opposes the protagonist and ensuring the story is told from a specific point of view. Additional elements covered include establishing the theme, and selecting an appropriate style and tone for the film.
Evaluation question 2
The document discusses the synergy between a short film, film review, and poster for the short film. It analyzes how each component reinforces and adds layers of meaning to the others. Specifically, it examines how the film, review, and poster all represent the themes of entrapment and mental disability through their stylistic and narrative elements while the review and poster provide context and interpretation that deepens the audience's understanding of the film.
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conv...
The document discusses conventions of film openings and title sequences. It describes common elements of film openings like introducing characters and setting the genre within the first 2-5 minutes. It also outlines different categories of title sequences like discrete, narrative, and stylized editing. Discrete titles use cryptic images to set the mood while narrative titles provide context. The document then analyzes the title sequences of Mean Girls and Se7en, noting how font, color, and images are used to convey genre and tone for each film.
Divergent analysis
The document analyzes the theatrical trailer for the film Divergent. It discusses the editing techniques used to create narrative tension. Specifically, it notes how the music intensifies during significant story moments. It also analyzes the visual style, such as a scene where the main character wakes from a dream, which signifies both the sci-fi genre and a normal waking action. The trailer uses common genre signifiers like character exposition, editing, sound, and narrative build-up to identify it as an action/thriller genre. Intertitles are used to promote the source material and build audience interest.
Pick THREE characters and explore them based on the bulleted poi.docx
Pick THREE characters and explore them based on the bulleted points below.
* How would you describe each character’s motivations? How does his or her motivation contribute to his or her development as a character? How does his or her motivation contribute to the telling of the film’s story? Are any character’s motivations unclear or surprising and, if so, how does this questioning of character motivation contribute to the telling of the film’s story?
• Do any of the film’s characters fall into discernable types (e.g., the all-American hero, the nutty professor)? If so, how are these types used in the telling of the film’s story?
• Focus on a scene involving a dialogue between two or more characters. What does
the dialogue tell you about the characters?
• Are any of the characters played by a movie star? If so, how does the movie star’s
discrete identity—his or her biography and previous film roles—affect your reading
of the film character and the film as a whole?
.
Evaluation question 2
The document discusses how the film, poster, and review work together and relate to each other. Some key points:
- The film, poster, and review all represent the theme of entrapment and explore it through the character's daily routine and mental state.
- Stylistic elements like simplistic layout and representation of the social realism genre are common across tasks.
- The review and poster add extra layers of meaning, with the poster depicting a maze in the eye and review comparing the film to a previous work.
- While communicating the same overall message, the poster uses the maze which is not directly in the film, acting as a mediating representation.
Paranormal Activity
The document analyzes the trailer for the film Paranormal Activity and discusses elements that make it effective. It focuses on the main characters, a young American couple, and how the trailer uses "shocked" audience reactions to build scare and intrigue. It also examines the target audience as late teens to mid-20s and how relatable characters are important. Finally, it distinguishes between teasers and full trailers, noting that teasers aim to create hype and leave viewers wanting more without revealing the full story.

The three aspects of the filmmaker's work - the film, poster, and review in Little White Lies magazine - effectively promote the same key messages about the film. The poster uses an image from the film to depict the main theme of psychological conflict. The review provides a positive analysis of the film's exploration of mental health issues and direction. Together, the three aspects accurately represent the film's substance as an art film about everyday life with deeper issues.
Evaliation 4
The poster and film review promote and provide context for the short film. The poster depicts the film's natural environment and isolated main character, reflecting its themes of loneliness. It also promotes the film's awards and critical acclaim. The review analyzes the film's exploration of abuse, mental health, and social commentary, informing readers while positively assessing the film. Both reference the film's subtle style and focus on issues. Overall, they effectively complement the film and deepen audience understanding in different ways before and after viewing.
Claire bethany amy fv
The document discusses marketing techniques for psychological thriller films. Posters for these types of films commonly feature split or divided characters and use bold colors like red and black. Reviews provide key details about the film like images, star ratings, release date and cast while using an informal tone with quotes and discussing if similar films would be enjoyed. Researching these techniques could help with creating effective marketing posters and reviews for a short film.

Posters pres
This document discusses conventions of movie posters and analyzes the poster for Pan's Labyrinth. It notes common elements of movie posters like prominent display of the title, actors' names, taglines, and release dates. The analysis finds that the Pan's Labyrinth poster effectively uses imagery and design to represent the film's mood, genre, and the vulnerability of the main character. Minor elements like credits and festival awards are also typical poster conventions.
Q2
The document discusses the effectiveness of combining a short film with ancillary texts like a film poster and review. It explains that the main task was to create a 5 minute short film and then a poster and review to promote it. A film poster increases awareness and ticket sales, while a review impacts popularity. The student created a drama genre poster showing a deceased mother to reflect how her death impacts the protagonist. Images are dark to match the genre and the black background adds darkness and suspense. Fonts, colors, and effects were chosen carefully to effectively promote the film and draw attention.
GCSE Film Studies paper 2 revision check list
The document provides a revision checklist for the film "Tsotsi" (2005) directed by Gavin Hood.

[2] It also asks the student to identify a theme/issue in the film and discuss a key sequence that explores this theme. [3] Finally, it asks the student to write a 1 page summary of the film, encouraging others to see it and discussing its themes, differences from Hollywood films, use of micro features, and whether it changed their views.
Short screenplay writing
The document discusses key elements to consider when writing a short screenplay. It identifies the protagonist as the central character who drives the narrative by having a clear want or goal. An effective protagonist also faces opposition from another character or force. The story should be told from a single point of view to focus the audience. An underlying theme relates to the audience's emotions and may not be apparent until revisions. Within the short format, style and tone become especially important to efficiently build to a climax. Techniques like point-of-view camera shots can establish tone and immerse the audience in the protagonist's perspective.

State your judgment (thesis statement) clearly, and support it with a convincing argument based on standards of value that your readers will be likely to agree. Assuming that your readers do not know anything about the movie, you describe it and inform them why the movie is recommended to watch or graded low. Provide a brief plot summary so that the audience can get an idea of what the movie is about. You also discuss about the strengths and/or weaknesses of the movie. Do not simply retell the story of the movie. This is not a story-telling test.
It is important to have a thesis statement in the introduction, and a topic sentence and supporting details in each body paragraph.

flashforward
)? Why do you think the director structure the movie that way? How does the plot contribute to making the movie theme? Is the story interesting? Confusing? Moving? Believable? Just a copy of other movies that you’ve seen? What specific parts do you think problematic or efficient?
Genre: what type of movie is this? For example, action, adventure, horror, sci-fi, romance, mystery, comedy, tragedy, documentary? How is the movie evaluated, for example in the ranking? How does the movie attract the audience?
Pace: Is the movie slow-paced? Or action-packed? What parts were dull or exciting? How does the pace contribute to the story? Why do you think the director set that pace in the movie?
Acting: How is the acting done? Do they seem to be acting effectively? How much the acting contribute to the movie?
Music: What kind of music is used as a sound track? Is the music proper to the subject of the movie? How does the music create the mood of the scenes?
Dialogue: Does it sound natural? Were there any specific scenes of the movie where dialogue stood out for some reasons? Any memorable dialogue?

The three aspects of the filmmaker's work - the film, poster, and review in Little White Lies magazine - effectively promote the same key messages about the film. The poster uses an image from the film to depict the main theme of psychological conflict. The review provides a positive analysis of the film's exploration of mental health issues and direction. Together, the three aspects accurately represent the film's substance as an art film about everyday life with deeper issues.

Posters pres
This document discusses conventions of movie posters and analyzes the poster for Pan's Labyrinth. It notes common elements of movie posters like prominent display of the title, actors' names, taglines, and release dates. The analysis finds that the Pan's Labyrinth poster effectively uses imagery and design to represent the film's mood, genre, and the vulnerability of the main character. Minor elements like credits and festival awards are also typical poster conventions.
Q2
The document discusses the effectiveness of combining a short film with ancillary texts like a film poster and review. It explains that the main task was to create a 5 minute short film and then a poster and review to promote it. A film poster increases awareness and ticket sales, while a review impacts popularity. The student created a drama genre poster showing a deceased mother to reflect how her death impacts the protagonist. Images are dark to match the genre and the black background adds darkness and suspense. Fonts, colors, and effects were chosen carefully to effectively promote the film and draw attention.

Short screenplay writing
The document discusses key elements to consider when writing a short screenplay. It identifies the protagonist as the central character who drives the narrative by having a clear want or goal. An effective protagonist also faces opposition from another character or force. The story should be told from a single point of view to focus the audience. An underlying theme relates to the audience's emotions and may not be apparent until revisions. Within the short format, style and tone become especially important to efficiently build to a climax. Techniques like point-of-view camera shots can establish tone and immerse the audience in the protagonist's perspective.

According to the text, economic outcomes measured by economic gr.docx
According to the text, economic outcomes measured by economic growth is affected by a number of factors. Also, hundreds of empirical studies on economic growth across countries have highlighted the correlation between economic growth and a variety of variables.
Claims regarding the determinants of economic growth are conditional, and the findings depend on the variables used. However, the availability of physical capital or infrastructure, government consumption, terms of trade, macroeconomic stability, the rule of law, regulatory quality, government effectiveness, foreign direct investments, population size, and natural resource availability are the most consistent findings of empirical studies on economic growth.
Review the literature on economic growth and provide a summary of how:
Population affects economic growth
Natural Resource Abundance affects economic growth
Note: The answers you provide to each of these sub-questions should not be more than 15 sentences.
Also note that because this is a literature review you must cite credible sources; avoid using news articles.
The examples below should serve as a guide
Example 1: The example below shows how inflation affects investment in a study of the effect of inflation on investment.
The destabilizing effect of inflation on investment has been a major source of debate in economic and business literature. Generally, inflation is often considered a sign of macroeconomic instability and the inability of government to control macroeconomic policy, both of which contribute to an adverse investment climate (Fischer, 2013; Greene & Villanueva, 1991). However, the empirical evidence is still far from convincing. While some authors claim positive effects of inflation on investment, others hold that inflation poses a “stealth” threat to investments. For example, Greene and Villanueva (1991) argue that high rate of inflation adversely affects private investment activity by increasing the riskiness of long-term investment projects. Also, Fischer (2013) observed that inflation uncertainty is associated with substantial reduction in total investment. On the contrary, McClain and Nicholes (1993) found that investment and inflation are positively related to each other.
Example 2: The example below shows how natural resource endowments affects income inequality in a study of the determinants of income inequality.
The nexus between natural resource endowments and income inequality has also been widely debated and has inspired a long history of research in both economics and political science (see, for example, Fum and Hodler, 2010; Goderis and Malone, 2011; Leamer, Maul, Rodriguez, and Schott, 1999; Carmignani, 2013; Parcero and Papyrakis, 2016; Bourguignon and Morrisson, 1998). For example, Anderson et al., (2004) argue that natural resources endowment provide a plausible explanation as to why the observed levels of inequality are significantly higher in both sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America.

According to the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), part of.docx
According to the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), part of being a well-prepared special educator includes “developing relationships with families based on mutual respect and actively involving families and individuals with exceptionalities in educational decision making” (Council for Exceptional Children, 2015, Special Education Professional Ethical Principles, E). This includes advocating for parental involvement by providing information on educational rights and safeguards in a way that creates accessibility and transparent IEP meeting procedures (Council for Exceptional Children, 2015).
Hammond, Ingalls and Trussell (2008) investigated the experiences of those family members who attended an initial IEP meeting and then subsequent meetings over the next four years. Their findings indicated that the overwhelming majority of the 212 family participants agreed that the child needed special education services but had negative emotional responses to the initial team meeting. Some of the most beneficial information collected included acknowledging the emotions tied to having a child initial diagnosed with a disability; stronger communication skills by education professionals during the team meeting; and additional measures to better prepare parents for the team meetings (Hammond, Ingalls, & Trussell, 2008). Similarly, the article,
Building Parent Trust in the Special Education Setting (Links to an external site.)
(Wellner, 2012) was written to emphasize the importance of trust building strategies to avoid costly due process hearings and to maximize relationships with all involved in making decisions on behalf of the student with special needs.

MAJOR HEALTH CARE PROBLEMS IN THE U.S. 2
Major Health Care Problems in the US
Problem statement: High and continuously rising cost of health care has been and still is one of
the biggest challenges affecting the Health Care system in United States.
Methods of Examining the Problem
Both qualitative and quantitative research methods should be used to fully understand the
issue of high cost of care in the US. Quantitative methods like surveys and experimentations will
aid in estimating the prevalence, magnitude and frequency of the problem in different regions.
On the other hand, qualitative methods like case studies and observation will help describe the
extent and complexity of the issue. The two approaches need to work in complementation to
obtain a clear understanding of this menace.
Surveys, as a quantitative research method, is one of the most effective in the social
research and present a more viable method of examining the cost of health in the country. They
involve asking of questions in the form of questionnaires and interviews. Questionnaires are
written questions to which the response can be open ended or multiple-choice format. This
would be used to gain information about cost within determinants that are of
disagree/neutral/agree nature. An example is if patients are contented with the cost of services
they get or they deem the cost of cover worthy. Interviews, the researcher discussing issues with
the respondents, are to be used to gain more details on already known aspects of the system. This
may include gathering information to inform policies, administration and use of technology to
minimize the cost of care.
Since health cost in the US is not a new challenge and there have been studies about it,
qualitative methods like .

According to the author, Social Security is an essential program, .docx
According to the author, Social Security is an essential program, but its future is looking unpromising unless we start by eliminating the payroll tax cap.
In the author’s proposal to keep the funding open, the author proposes the acceptance of Bernie Sanders’ “Keeping Our Social Security Promises Act,” which the author suggests would removes the payroll tax cap. To elaborate further, the author stated that the reason for the cap on the social security is because of the uneven amount of participation during elections which makes the rich influential in governance. The author stated that, research have found that the rich who made over $125,000 contributed 35% in campaigns. According to the author, this act causes a major problem regarding the shaping of the social security because people with lower income would not be able to contribute that amount of money towards campaigns. The author also states that it causes greater income equality, since those who contribute are rich and as a matter of fact get more benefits from political power in the form of payroll tax cap. This in the authors words, compromises the state of social welfare in the United States because those active in politics don’t have the same views as the poor who are focused on housing, poverty, and health. Congressional Research Service was used to predicts that, if tax cap is not removed, there will be a permanent increase of tax rate from 12.4% to 15.1% which would hurt people making less than the current tax cap currently at $132,900 or, cutting benefits by 20% in 2035 and continuously rising every year.
In as much as the author makes a good point on the percentage of rich people that donated to campaign, the author failed to state how much the rich get in payroll tax cap since that is a major part of the authors argument. The authors failed to indicate how an increase in tax rate would affect people making less than the current tax cap which is $132,900. To sum it up, the author failed to expand and give more numeric evidence to support the argument.
In addition, to provide a guideline in eliminating payroll tax cap, the author suggested a bill introduced by Bernie Sanders called, Keeping Our Social Security Promises Act. The bill according to the author seeks to remove the cap placed on payroll taxes. The author further stated the bill will help Solvency to expand for 75 years without increasing taxes for those who earn less than $250,000, the only people who will see a change are those earn more than $250,000. According to the Congressional Research Service as stated by the author, removing the cap would eliminate 84% of the projected shortfall. The author stated that, the top 200 CEOs would have to contributed $341,291,106 towards Social Security when the tax cap is removed. In addition, the author stated that, removing the cap would eliminate 84% of the projected shortfall. The author proposes an increase in the taxable payroll from 12.40% to 12.83% to keep it solvent.
