Research into zombie film genre
This document summarizes research into the zombie/horror film genre. It discusses several common conventions including focusing the story on a small group of protagonists to avoid confusion, limiting settings to keep the plot understandable, and using fast-paced editing during chases to build tension. It also examines typical character archetypes like the "alpha male," intelligent character, "dumb blonde" character who often dies first, and comedic "joker" who tends to survive longer than others. The goal of these films is to frighten audiences using these codes and conventions.
Literary elements characters
Every story needs characters, which can be either dynamic or static. Stories also require a conflict such as man versus man or nature, as well as a setting, climax, and point of view. The protagonist is the main character, while the antagonist opposes them, and foreshadowing provides hints about what will happen next.
Types of Characters in Film
The document discusses character arcs, which describe the emotional change or development of a character over the course of a story. A character typically begins with a certain viewpoint that changes due to events in the narrative. Examples are provided of characters who transform from misogynistic to empathetic or carefree to traumatized. Character arcs are driven by inner conflicts that mirror the story's outer conflicts and keep the narrative tension high. Effective character arcs involve a character gradually overcoming a personal flaw or limitation through the rising and falling action of the plot.
Character types
This document discusses different types of characters that commonly appear in literature. It defines major/central characters as vital to the plot and resolution, and minor characters as helping to move the plot forward. It also defines dynamic characters as those who change over time due to resolving conflicts, static characters as those who do not change, round characters as complex with contradictory traits, and flat characters as defined by a single trait. Stock characters are conventional stereotypes, while protagonists are the central characters faced with conflicts, and antagonists are those opposing the protagonists. Anti-heroes are protagonists who lack nobility, and foils are characters who contrast with others.
Characters (10)
This document defines different types of characters that can appear in stories. The main character is called the protagonist, while the antagonist stands in opposition to the protagonist. Round characters are fully developed with many traits, while flat characters lack development and traits. A dynamic character changes over the course of the story, whereas a static character remains the same. For example, in Shrek, Shrek is the protagonist and Lord Farquaad is the antagonist. Shrek is also a dynamic and round character as he becomes softer and more well-rounded over the course of the film.
Types of Characters
There are several types of characters found in stories. Round characters undergo changes throughout the story in response to conflict, while flat characters remain static. Stock characters rely on cultural stereotypes. The protagonist is the main character the audience empathizes with, while the antagonist directly opposes the protagonist. Examples are provided of each character type from stories like The Chronicles of Narnia, Tangled, and Superman.
Introduction to plot
This document provides an overview of plot structure and elements, including exposition, foreshadowing, obstacles and conflicts, climax, and resolution. It uses examples from films like Independence Day, Get Out, Titanic, and novels like Stardust to illustrate these concepts. The document emphasizes that plot and character work together, with conflicts forcing characters to act and reveal their nature. It provides potential questions for analyzing plot in a reaction essay.
Static and dynamic characters
Static characters do not undergo important changes over the course of a story, remaining the same from beginning to end. Dynamic characters do change, often as a result of external conflicts, with changes in insights, understanding, values or commitments. The example given is that Prim from The Hunger Games is a static character who does not change, while Haymitch is dynamic as he sobers up and commits to helping the tributes over the course of the novel. Dynamic characters tend to be more fully developed and central to the story.

The opening sequence follows conventions such as titles fading in and out, but introduces both the protagonist and antagonist, rather than just one. Continuity editing and moving shots are used to gradually increase pace as in other horror films. However, some elements break conventions, such as featuring a psychopathic supernatural magician as the antagonist and including a chase scene early on. The protagonist represents mental illness negatively and the antagonist is stylishly dressed unlike typical psychopaths. Sound uses tension-building drones and drums as in films like The Shining.

Session One: 'Setting Expectations: a DEIA Primer,' was held June 6, 2024.June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
