Paper no.9. comedy of menace in birthday party
Comedy of menace refers to plays that combine elements of comedy and tragedy to produce unease in the audience. It originated from a play by David Campton and was used to describe early works by Harold Pinter. Comedy of menace uses everyday settings and situations but creates an atmosphere of threat through implied or actual violence, uncertainty, and the juxtaposition of comedy and seriousness. It reflects the human predicament of living in an indifferent world surrounded by the unknown. Pinter's plays exemplify this technique through subtle menaces, cryptic dialogue, and the withholding of key information from the audience.

History, Types and Definition of Comedy
Comedy takes many forms on television including slapstick, parody, stand-up, and dark humor. Slapstick involves physical humor like tripping or falling. Parody spoofs real events or people in an exaggerated, funny way. Stand-up features a comedian telling jokes and stories directly to an audience. Dark humor approaches serious topics like death or violence in a satirical manner. Other comedy genres include reality shows, dramedies, silent films, hidden cameras, variety acts, and cartoons. Successful comedy avoids looking over-acted and finds the basic joke throughout.

Comedy
The document defines and describes several types of comedy in literature and drama. It begins by defining comedy as a genre that is amusing and satirical, with a cheerful or happy ending. It then divides comedy into two categories: low comedy, which uses slapstick, drunkenness or buffoonery to create laughter; and high comedy, which relies on wit, satire or criticism of life. The document goes on to define romantic comedy, comedy of humors, comedy of manners, sentimental comedy, and tragicomedy - providing 1-2 sentences on each genre's focus or characteristics.
Aspects of Genre
Period dramas typically feature young, heroic white protagonists and focus on themes of love, family, and relationships set within a particular patriarchal society of the past. Documentary dramas, also known as docudramas, re-enact real historical events through research and sometimes first-person accounts. Crime genres revolve around a protagonist investigating a death or crime like murder, robbery, or suicide, typically ending with the revelation of who committed the act and justice prevailing.

2nd Review SII199H1
The document summarizes and critiques the arguments made in Susan Seizer's article "On the Uses of Obscenity in Live Stand-Up Comedy". Seizer argues that stand-up comedians who use curse words in non-denotational ways create an intimate and informal tone that improves their performance.

It questions why crude uses of swearing do not have the same benefits and notes that her analysis is limited to Southern US comedy clubs where swearing is already normalized. While Seizer convinces the reader that obscenity helps comedians relate to drunk audiences, the document concludes her thesis has significant flaws and a limited perspective.

It describes 9 frames that show scenes from the Vietnam War including a smiling soldier, an injured soldier, the band's lead singer Layne Staley, soldiers carrying guns through the jungle, a soldier who has lost his leg, a soldier threatening a child, two soldiers with one crying over an injured comrade, and guitarist Jerry Cantrell appearing sad at the end. The analysis suggests the video portrays the dangers and horrors of war while also relating it to the band member Jerry Cantrell and his father who fought in Vietnam.
The shining film trailer analysis
The trailer is for the 1980 horror film The Shining, directed by Stanley Kubrick and starring Jack Nicholson. It depicts a family moving into an isolated hotel for the winter. Shots establish the setting and show the father descending into madness, holding weapons. Tension builds with quick cuts and screaming, without revealing the cause. This leaves viewers wanting more information and ensures the film is intriguing and frightening.
Hello my name is death short fillm review
The short film "Hello My Name is Death" follows a man who is told by Death that he was shot by one of two women and he must figure out which to save himself. The review summarizes that the film uses cryptic sequences and repetition to confuse the viewer and leave them questioning what they witnessed. It creates an unsettling atmosphere through close-up shots, dark undertones, and a minimal setting that makes the reviewer feel claustrophobic. While listing some positives, the review concludes that the film challenges viewers but leaves them contemplating its plot and message.
OSA1
The opening sequence to Casino Royale uses CGI to show blood dripping and card symbols appearing, introducing the genre, title and main character James Bond. The Toy Story opening shows Woody and Andy playing to establish them as the focus, using a child-like title and POV shots that imply the toys are alive. Zombieland starts disorientingly then uses a POV zombie bite to comedically set the tone before a voiceover explains the premise. The Golden Eye opening follows a bullet through a gun barrel and an eye, using action, explosions, women and Soviet references to set up the plot. Bunraku's CGI opening depicts the evolution of violence over time through prehistoric animals, stickmen and modern war

The document analyzes the Digipak for the Red Hot Chili Peppers album "Californication". It summarizes that the artwork shows a pool and sky switched positions, symbolizing how people try to change themselves to achieve the California lifestyle, or "Californication". It also notes that the band name is in small text to avoid drawing attention away from the artwork's message. Finally, it mentions that the unusual placement of the barcode is another way the band strays from conventions to promote their theme of Californication.
Treatment Sheet
The document outlines plans for a music video for the song "Away from Here" by the band The Enemy. It discusses using a warehouse setting and fast cuts between the band's performance and images representing the working class lifestyle. Lighting would be bright on the band but dimmer on other shots to set a sadder mood. Costumes would be ordinary like jeans and jackets to fit the song's theme about the working class. The video aims to have a late 90s/early 2000s style and would include locations from the UK to Turkey.
Risk assesement
The document outlines various risks that could be encountered during the shooting of a music video and responsibilities and preventative measures for each risk. Potential risks include illness or injury of participants, bad weather affecting an outdoor shoot, memory cards filling up, low camera battery, inadequate lighting, issues with location availability and safety, tripping hazards, public interference with an outdoor shoot, and software crashes during editing. Contingency plans such as scheduling alternative dates, carrying extra equipment like memory cards and portable lights, booking locations in advance, cleaning shooting areas, and frequent saving while editing are described.
Lyrics Breakdown
This document provides a breakdown of the lyrics for the song "Away From Here" by the band The Enemy. The lyrics describe a protagonist who is tired of working a 9-5 job and would prefer to stay at home watching TV. They find their work boring and draining and look forward only to the weekends when they can escape their routine and relax. The song expresses a desire to break away from the daily grind of modern working life.
Shooting schedule
This document outlines a shot list for a music video. It provides 63 shots describing the action, camera angles, and mise-en-scene details for shots of a band performing and an accompanying storyline. The shots include close-ups and medium shots of band members singing and playing instruments, cutaways to related locations and objects that tie to the song lyrics, and storyline shots of the protagonist at work and socializing. The goal is to film the band's performance while cutting between those and storyline shots to illustrate the song.
Company Logo: RJ Records
For a school project, the document describes the process of creating a logo for a fictional record label called "RJ Records". Research was conducted on common conventions for music label logos. The logo was designed in Photoshop and features the capitalized text "RJ RECORDS" on a black background, with "RJ" in red and "RECORDS" in silver to make the name stand out. Effects were added to give both elements a metallic look.
Digipak Analysis
The second album by Gorillaz, Demon Days, was released in the UK on May 23, 2005 and was the first time the band's four animated fictional band members were shown to the public. The album features samples from the 1978 film Dawn of the Dead and its music videos show the band members in an animated fictional world. While the band members have Asian appearances, the album was released three weeks earlier in Japan than Britain, possibly because Japan appreciates the band's unique animated style.
Digipak analysis
This document summarizes the digipak for the Arctic Monkeys' debut album "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not". The album was released on January 23, 2006 and made a big impression on the British indie music scene. The cover features their friend Chris McClure casually smoking, reflecting the album's common lyrical themes of not caring about appearances. Additionally, the disc itself is designed to resemble an ashtray, linking it to the smoking imagery and use of black and white colors throughout, which emphasizes how life contains both positive and negative experiences.
Video Analysis: Arctic Monkeys- R U Mine?
The video shows the Arctic Monkeys listening to their new song "R U Mine" playing on the radio in a jeep. They air drum and sing along, not following conventional music video techniques of clearly showing the band playing their instruments. Scenes include the front man taking a selfie and two girls in costumes in the back. At the end, the full band is shown actually playing the song with fireworks and smoke for dramatic effect, following standard music video conventions.
Advert Analysis: Gorillaz
Plastic Beach is Gorillaz's third studio album, released in 2010. The album cover depicts an island featuring a lighthouse, palm trees, and large building, with wavy text matching the beach theme. It shows the setting of the virtual band's fictional universe as seen in the music video for the single "Melancholy Hill", and promotes the newly released album with its straightforward display of the cover art.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

Rise against: war hero
- 1. Video Analysis Band: Rise Against Directed by: Meriert Avis Album: Appeal to reason
- 2. Hero of war The song starts out with an army recruiter asking the protagonist, a potential recruit, to enlist. With promises of adventure and money, they do indeed sign up. At the end of the song, the enlistee, now a veteran, recalls with bitter irony the army recruiter's promise that signing up would mean he could "see the world."
- 3. Hero of war Here we see the protagonist sat in a playground performing the song. This is used to create the feeling that he is thinking back on the memories and telling his story to the audience.
- 4. Hero of war This low shot of the protagonist's feet plays on with the narrative and also with the lyrics to the song "Black leather boots", the shot also helps the video live up to the convention of war and soldiers, showing the typical leather boots. The shot shows the soldier treading over broken glass, suggesting that there has been a lot of wreckage, which again, lives up to the convention of war. The close up of the soldiers feet is used to hide the identity of him, suggesting that he is just another soldier and has lost his individuality and has been depersonalised by the war.
- 5. Hero of warThis shot shows a close up of the protagonist crying to himself in the mirror, this signifying the pain he is suffering during his time in the army. This shot links well with the lyrics overlaying it as he is speaking of another mans pain and suffering caused by him 'They took off his clothes, they pissed in his hands, I told them to stop, but then I joined in, we beat him with guns and batons'. The shot shows that he is ashamed of himself for making the man suffer. It also suggests that he is lying to himself and being lied to by his country 'hero of war' and has falling for the proper gander 'son have you seen the world, what would you say, if I said you could'
- 6. Hero of war 'She walked, through bullets and haze, I asked her to stop, I begged her to stay, but she pressed on, so I lifted my gun, and fired away..' In this shot a close up has been used to exaggerate the innocence on the young girls face, who is referred to in the lyrics This shot shows us the protagonist begging the girl to stay. This signifies to us he unwillingness to harm the girl however he does anyway because he is under order to do so. 'A hero of war? Is that what they see?' These lyrics link well with the shots as they identify again his unwillingness to shoot the girl and also the shame he now feels, rather than being a hero.
- 7. Hero of war At the end of the video the lyric 'Son, have you seen the world? well what would you say, if i said that you could?' is repeated however this time the shot now shows a unhappy man rather that the young ambitious happy teen who signed up at the beginning of the video. This shows how the war changed the protagonist and how he regrets falling for the proper gander.
