The document provides details about various construction chemicals used during different stages of construction. It discusses cement additives, concrete admixtures, concrete repair chemicals, protective coatings, waterproofing chemicals, industrial flooring chemicals, grouts and anchors, and adhesives. It provides examples of popular brands for each chemical category and their uses and benefits. The document aims to study the widely used construction chemicals and gain knowledge about their applications in construction projects.
The document outlines the nine-act and three-act screenplay structures. The nine-act structure breaks a screenplay into nine sequential parts: Act 0 during opening credits, Act 1 introduces the setting, Act 2 introduces conflict, Act 3 introduces the protagonist, Act 4 is the commitment to action, Act 5 is a "dark moment" where the wrong goal is pursued, Act 6 is a reversal where the right goal is identified, Act 7 develops a new plan of action, and Act 8 wraps up loose ends. The three-act structure similarly divides a screenplay into setup, confrontation, and resolution acts.
Mise-en-scene in horror films establishes isolation and ominous settings through techniques like pathetic fallacy, sinister props, and dark colors like red and black. Lighting is used to create mood, cast shadows, and suggest split personalities. Costumes distinguish stereotypical character types like the "blonde" and "athlete". Sound design with exaggerated diegetic sound and loud non-diegetic music builds tension and makes audiences feel scared. Common props symbolizing religion or the devil include bibles, crucifixes, and candles. Horror films typically feature stock character archetypes like "the blonde [who] usually dies first".
Hot Fuzz (2007) is an action-comedy film directed by Edgar Wright that draws on genres like cop films, buddy movies, and horror. It uses techniques like fast-paced montages and parody to reference other films and popular culture. The film contains abundant references that make intertextuality a theme. It parodies genres like the super-cop film and includes self-reflexive elements where characters are fans of the same genres the film references. Hot Fuzz was both a critical and commercial success for its hybrid approach combining action, comedy, and postmodern techniques.
The document discusses the many talented individuals who contributed to the making of the 1994 film Forrest Gump. It details the work of director Robert Zemeckis, screenwriter Eric Roth, cinematographer Don Burgess, editor Arthur Schmidt, composer Alan Silvestri, and production designer Rick Carter. It explains how each member played a key role in bringing the story of Forrest Gump to life through their unique skills and artistic visions.
A2 Level Media Comedy Drama Codes & Conventionsmimammedia
The document discusses the comedy-drama genre which balances elements of comedy and drama. Some conventions of comedy-drama films include using lighting, sound effects, and settings to transition between comedic and dramatic scenes. Characteristics like slapstick comedy, dark humor, and word play are incorporated alongside dramatic conventions like realistic settings and relatable characters. Overall, the genre juxtaposes comedy and drama elements through opposing actions, themes, and visual elements.
This document outlines various elements that are commonly seen in comedy film narratives, including different character types, settings, scenarios, and approaches to story structure. It discusses both the classical Hollywood three-act structure and comedian-led narratives that are loose collections of gags and quirks. As examples, it provides an overview of the narratives of the films Love Actually and Four Lions, noting how they both incorporate elements of gags while generally following a classic structure. It also lists typical comedy characters and prompts the reader to research different subgenres of comedy.
Comedy films often use bright settings like cities and social gatherings. The camera work is not meant to draw attention and aims to show equality among characters. Sound effects and dialogue are important for comedy, with slapstick using exaggerated sounds and conversations driving humor. Characters are typically normal people paired with stupid ones to highlight their foolishness through contrast, or highly intelligent people lacking social skills who provide laughs through unawareness of normal behavior.

Codes and conventions of the mystery genreasmedia16
The document discusses codes and conventions of the mystery genre that will influence the filmmaker's project. It describes how mystery films are often set in modern, dystopian cities which feel dark and gloomy. The protagonists are usually questionable and ambiguous, making the audience distrust them. Technical elements like lighting, camera work, and music are used to build tension and atmosphere. Specifically, the filmmaker intends to use a sepia tone, black and white footage, and a mix of jazz and classical music to invoke suspense and unease in the audience. The themes of mystery films often subvert social norms and peer into the dark underbelly of society.
GoGreen Communications has posted this important documentation in support of its market-leading research and practice on idle reduction.
GoGreen is focused on driver behavior modification training, certification and branding for fleet operators.
GoGreen’s Point of View on Idle Reduction.
As of September, 2020, idle reduction from driver behavior modification in a fleet’s gasoline and diesel-burning assets, is the biggest combined cost reduction, greenhouse gas reduction, and air pollution reduction opportunity for fleet operators in the United States and Canada in all fleet industry sectors.
Further, GoGreen believes that cost reduction, greenhouse gas reduction and air pollution reduction should be a fleet operator’s priority at this time of economic crisis, accelerated climate change, and a lung virus pandemic. Currently, idle reduction is not an area of priority for most operators (GoGreen is actively surveying the market, documenting the barriers to creating an idle reduction fleet culture).
It is GoGreen’s view that the typical addressable opportunity for North American fleet operators who have not addressed driver idling behavior (as an aggregate of all fleet industry sectors and all fleet departments) is about 40% of engine hours and its associated downstream cost impact on operation and maintenance expenses* This assumes driver idling behavior only and excludes ‘PTO’ or business function idling in park.
GoGreen has identified the following cost metrics regarding driver idling behavior:
Fuel.
Added maintenance, lost warranties.
Lifecycle costs.
Vehicle downtime.
Employee productivity.
Carbon emissions.
Air quality.
Safety risk (vacant vehicle idling).
Fleet reputation.

The document discusses various cliques and stereotypes that are commonly portrayed in teen dramas. It identifies typical clique groups such as jocks, nerds, emos/goths, and loners. It also describes some stereotypical characteristics of nerds, cheerleaders, jocks, outsiders, and others. Common settings in teen films like the locker room, cafeteria, and field are mentioned. The document also outlines some typical "teen issues" that are explored in teen dramas, such as peer pressure, conformity, disliking a small town, and feeling like an outcast.
This document discusses character archetypes and the hero archetype in particular. It describes the characteristics and journey of the hero, known as the "hero's quest", which involves crossing over into an unknown world, accepting a call to adventure, undergoing tests and trials, returning home with gifts or lessons learned, and transforming. It provides examples of other common archetypes like mentors, companions, and various male and female archetypes. The entire document serves to introduce and explain the concept of character archetypes.
This document provides an overview of pile foundations and construction techniques. It begins with definitions of key pile terminology. Piles are then classified based on material (timber, concrete, steel, composite) and construction method. Details are given on driving and installing different pile types, including considerations for soil conditions, hammer selection, and positioning equipment. Additional foundation techniques like diaphragm walls are also introduced. Test pile programs are recommended to select the appropriate pile design and installation method for site conditions.
Teen comedies typically follow common plotlines involving coming of age, first love, rebellion against parents, teen angst, or feelings of alienation. Locations are usually limited to school, homes, and local areas that teenagers frequent, like school and bedrooms. Characters are often stereotyped into familiar high school archetypes like jocks, cheerleaders, nerds, rebels, and outsiders. Serious topics are usually presented in an exaggerated or trivial way to appeal to teenage audiences.
The conventions of action genre films typically include:
1) Stereotypical characters like a muscular hero, damsel in distress, and villainous opponent.
2) Settings involving busy cities, boats, or alleys where fights and chases can take place.
3) Elements like guns, knives, fast cars, and jewelry as props and a narrative involving threats to the hero by the villain through attempts to kidnap the damsel or seriously harm the hero.
This document provides background information on the film Forrest Gump and its director Robert Zemeckis. It then summarizes key historical events depicted in the film, including Elvis Presley, the Vietnam War, civil rights events involving George Wallace and Lyndon B. Johnson, the Watergate scandal, and Forrest Gump's interactions with presidents and involvement in Ping Pong diplomacy and running across the country. The summary analyzes how these events are portrayed and their significance to the film's plot and themes.
The document outlines several common character types found in horror films:
The Hero is typically a brave, masculine figure who leads the group without showing emotion. The Non-Believer is overconfident and convinces others not to worry but often dies first. The Female Victim is young, blonde, and vulnerable, requiring protection. The Loved Up Couple leaves the group to be intimate and one will die, distressing the other. The Hysterical Character breaks down after a death and refuses to leave danger, usually being killed or causing others to be hunted. The Evil Character takes forms like killers, demons, or monsters and is inhumanly difficult to injure or kill.
A melodrama is a dramatic work featuring exaggerated emotions and stereotypical characters intended to appeal to audiences' emotions. Originating in 19th century France, examples include soaps like Hollyoaks and Neighbours. Melodramas employ stereotypes like "the hunk" and storylines involving catharsis, escapism, and characters viewers aspire to emulate. They utilize exaggerated non-diegetic sounds, dramatic lighting, and fast-paced camera work to create tension through their multiple concurrent storylines.
Lightweight concrete has a lower density than normal concrete, ranging from 300-1850 kg/m3 compared to 2200-2600 kg/m3. There are three main types: lightweight aggregate concrete uses porous aggregates; aerated concrete is produced by incorporating air bubbles; and no-fines concrete omits fine aggregates. Lightweight concrete reduces building dead load, improves workability, has better insulation and durability, and allows for use of industrial wastes. Its lower density offers applications in construction elements like pre-stressed concrete and high-rise buildings.
