Intertextuality in Film
Intertextuality refers to references or connections between works of art such as films borrowing from other films, literature, or art forms. Deliberate intertextuality occurs when artists intentionally include references to other works. Shrek uses intertextuality by featuring characters from Disney films transformed with a different take. Allusion is a direct reference, such as Disney including a brief appearance of Sven from Frozen in Moana. Pastiche deliberately recreates another artist's style while parody mocks or mimics a particular genre through comedy. Recent films increasingly use intertextuality as "weaponized intertextuality" to trigger emotional responses in viewers through recognizable characters or images from other works.
Media Intertextuality
The document defines and discusses the concept of intertextuality, which is the shaping of texts' meanings through references and allusions to other texts. It provides examples of intertextuality in films, television shows like The Simpsons, and music videos. Intertextuality relies on audiences recognizing references to other cultural works and genres in order to make sense of texts.
Film Noir
Film noir is a genre of film that originated in the 1940s defined by a mood of pessimism and cynicism. These films featured dark themes of moral ambiguity and corruption with characters that were often flawed or desperate. Visually, film noir is marked by low-key lighting and shadowy urban settings. Some of the earliest and most influential examples include Stranger on the Third Floor (1940) and The Maltese Falcon (1941).
Film Genres
The document defines and discusses various film genres and subgenres. It provides examples of primary genres like action, adventure, comedy, crime, drama, epics, horror, musicals, science fiction, war films, and westerns. For each genre, it lists representative subgenres and provides brief descriptive definitions.
DRAMA powerpoint presentation.
Drama is a story meant to be performed on stage rather than read. It contains literary elements like plot, theme, characters, and dialogue; technical elements like scenery, costumes, and lighting; and performance elements like acting, vocal delivery, and facial expressions. Aristotle was the first to identify key elements of drama over 2000 years ago, including plot, theme, characters, thought, music/rhythm, and spectacle. While some elements have evolved, like replacing music/rhythm with conventions and adding genre and audience, Aristotle's analysis remains influential in understanding drama.
Narrative
Narrative refers to storytelling and how elements are organized to create meaning. Narratives across media share characteristics like structure and how they are informed by characters, action, and location. Narrative structures can be closed with a conclusion or open-ended. Theorists like Todorov, Propp, Barthes, and Levi-Strauss analyzed narratives and identified common patterns. Todorov saw narratives as progressing through equilibrium, disruption, and new equilibrium states. Propp identified character types like villains and heroes. Levi-Strauss explored binary oppositions. Barthes identified codes like hermeneutic and symbolic that shape narratives.
Types of documentaries
There are six main types of documentaries: expository, observational, participatory, poetic, reflexive, and performative. Expository documentaries speak directly to the viewer through voiceovers and titles to present a strong argument. Observational documentaries simply observe lived life with minimal intervention. Participatory documentaries emphasize interaction between filmmakers and subjects through interviews. Poetic documentaries organize images through associations and patterns to be fragmentary and impressionistic. Reflexive documentaries help audiences understand the construction process to develop a critical view. Performative documentaries acknowledge the emotional and subjective aspects to address audiences emotionally.
Romance Genre Powerpoint
The document discusses the definitions and characteristics of romantic genres in literature and film. It provides examples and summaries of two romantic films: The Last Song, about a rebellious teenager who reconnects with her estranged father over a summer, and undergoes personal growth; and The Fault in Our Stars, about two teenagers with cancer who fall in love while struggling with their illnesses and ultimately face a tragic ending, in contrast to the optimistic conclusion of most romantic stories.

Tzvetan todorov’s narrative theory
Tzvetan Todorov's narrative theory proposes that all stories follow a three-part structure: 1) an initial state of equilibrium is established, 2) some event disrupts this equilibrium, and 3) the story concludes with the restoration of equilibrium or a new equilibrium. The theory is exemplified in the 2014 film Kingsman, but is broken by the 2000 film Memento, which tells its story backwards and does not follow a linear path from disruption to resolution.
Intertextuality
This document discusses James Porter's concept of intertextuality and discourse communities. Some key points:
- Intertextuality challenges the idea of the writer as a lone genius and instead sees writing as constrained and situated within various discourses and traditions.
- Writers are influenced by 11 different types of texts and act as "collectors of fragments" when piecing together their own writing.
- Discourse communities are groups bound by common interests that regulate acceptable communication within the group. Writers belong to multiple discourse communities that further influence their work.
- No text is truly original or the product of a single author, as all writing borrows and builds on previous texts through intertextual references and traditions.

Titanic
In early 1912, construction and sea trials of the world’s largest ship named Titanic were completed. It was a floating gigantic marvel at almost 270m in length and fifty thousand tons in weight. It could carry almost three thousand people both passengers and crew. The engineers called it the unsinkable. Consequently, its first voyage was highly publicized and passage booked by the wealthiest and the poor alike. Unfortunately, the ship would hit an iceberg in April the same year that would lead to the world’s largest oceanic disaster as over fifteen hundred people perished in the water. The high number of deaths was a result of the few lifeboats that were available onboard. The lifeboats were uneven to a large number of the ship’s occupants. In 1997, James Cameron wrote and directed one of the world’s highest grossing films of all time going by the ship’s name ‘Titanic.' The film had the largest budget at the time amounting to almost two hundred million US dollars. The film’s main stars were Leonardo Dicaprio, Kate Winslet, and Billy Zane among others. Although the movie had some flaws, it had a great success and it became one of the best movies ever created.
Titanic was the most famous movie loosely based on the shipwreck disaster as many film and literature lovers took the wreck as inspiration and wrote books, made films or other forms of art, based on the incident. Consequently, this entire disturbance elevated the incident into a legend of sorts in popular culture. James Cameron made the movie in a bid to recreate the sinking moments of the ship by tying in a fictional love story with the disaster. The film is the recounting of one survivor’s, Rose, tragic love story aboard the Titanic. Rose contacts some scientists who are looking at the Titanic who happen to be searching for a necklace that was given to her as a gift on the Titanic. Rose is an aristocrat engaged to Cal to get some much-needed money for her impoverished family. She does not love Cal and wants to commit suicide. A young con artist Jack Dawson saves her. Jack and Rose fall in love with each other but are star-crossed due to their different social classes. Cal notices this and frames Jack as the thief of his fiancé’s betrothal necklace. By the time Jack is arrested and handcuffed to a pipe, the Titanic has already hit the iceberg and water is rushing into the ship. The upper classes, women, and children are put into the lifeboats and instructed to go to safety. Most of the boats leave while they are only half-full. This is the most moving part of the film as it draws on facts to recreate the scenes. When the lifeboats are over, people wait for help. When the hull breaks, thousands more plunge to their deaths as Rose is saved by Jack and put on a piece of wood that can only support one. Jack dies with the boat while Rose lives and changes her name to Rose Dawson in fear of Cal, who commits suicide in 1929 when his stocks crash in the Wall Street Crash.

The film Titanic depicts the social divide between classes on the ship, as the love story blossoms between Jack, a low-class passenger who won his ticket in a card game, and Rose, a first-class woman. Jack is initially judged as a threat because of his lower status, though Rose vouches for him. The story structure alternates between Rose recounting her memories of Titanic in the present day and flashbacks to her forbidden romance with Jack aboard the sinking ship. By hearing Rose's emotional first-hand account of losing her lover in the disaster, the film draws audiences deeply into the story.

7 Habits of Highly Effective People.pptx
Covey says most people look for quick fixes. They see a big success and want to know how he did it, believing (and hoping) they can do the same following a quick bullet list.
But real change, the author says, comes not from the outside in, but from the inside out. And the most fundamental way of changing yourself is through a paradigm shift.
That paradigm shift is a new way of looking at the world. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People presents an approach to effectiveness based on character and principles.
The first three habits indeed deal with yourself because it all starts with you. The first three habits move you from dependence from the world to the independence of making your own world.
Habits 4, 5 and 6 are about people and relationships. The will move you from independence to interdependence. Such, cooperating to achieve more than you could have by yourself.
The last habit, habit number 7, focuses on continuous growth and improvement.

Titanic f12
- 2. CODES AND CONVENTIONS Codes and Conventions of drama genre are focused on real life situations to emotionally effect the audience. Codes are divided in two ways, technical and symbolic. The slow music of Titanic can be technical and symbolic as it is linked to the characters actions in the movie. Convention in Titanic are the additional scenes such as sadness or showing more emotions.
- 3. NARRATIVE Titanic is a love story set against real historical events: the sinking of the great ocean liner amongst the ice packs of the North Atlantic in 1912. Directed by James Cameron starring actors such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet and Billy Zane. It is listed amongst the top ten grossing films of all time. It has won eleven Oscar awards including the much sought after award of Best Motion Picture. In its first year of release it sold more tickets than any other motion picture in history and it was the first ever to gross one billion dollars in worldwide sales. The three-minute sequence I have chosen to look at starts with Old Rose telling the discovery crew about what the Titanic was like. She then has a flashback and the film goes back to the day of the Titanic's maiden voyage.
- 4. CINEMATOGRAPHY Leonardo DiCaprio who plays Jack in the movie falls in love with Rose who is played by Kate Winslet. Rose who is engaged to be married to a very rich man falls hard for jack and they have to sneak around to be together. More suspense strikes when the ship collides with an iceberg and only a certain few are allowed into the life boats. Jack is not one of the lucky voyagers and dies at sea. Rose is devastated by this memory because she survives the tragedy and is portrayed by an old lady telling of that fateful voyage. This film jumps from one scene to the next. From Rose being young and on the Titanic to when she is an old lady telling the crew searching for the remains of the Titanic about her life story. This order made the plot more interesting, the old Rose helped build up to the sinking and when she started crying it made the scene even more dramatic.
- 5. SOUND Dialogue in a movie is when the characters are interacting with one another verbally. Sound effects in a movie are used to make the scenes seem more realistic. In the scene where Titanic is breaking in half the sound effects are extremely realistic. as the ship is sinking we can hear a background music played by one solo instrumentalist, or by a small group of instrumentalists . The effects in the scene where the Titanic is sinking is realistic. The water is coming into the ship and busting out windows and people are jumping from the ship in the hope of saving themselves from a certain death. The special effects in this scene were extraordinary. If the special effects such as the glass bursting or the pole breaking and making an sound were removed from this scene it would not be as believable. Special effects are what makes a movie more enjoyable.
- 6. EDITING The film has a high density of shots. the shots are always dynamic and interesting, supporting the film’s quick and energetic editing pace. so the actors are frequently photographed in the foreground, and the elements of the ship visible in the background. In one of the greatest epic shots of the film, the camera starts with a close-up of Rose coming out of the water and screaming for Jack, only to pull back to an overhead wide angle shot to reveal an endless crowd of people fighting for survival in the darkness of the ocean.
- 7. MISE EN SCENE Various elements of visual design that are incorporated in this scene allow for audiences to be immersed into the emotion of the characters. As the sun sets in the sky, an array of gorgeous colors appear, which clearly reflect the mood. Glowing oranges and pinks are mixed with sweet purples to create a backdrop that implies loving connection. These colors are also reflected in the expressions of happiness on both of the characters faces which are bright pink. One can also observe the set design of this scene, which is intentionally empty and open. Despite the thousands of others aboard the Titanic, no other people are anywhere near the front of the boat or the deck space in which this scene unfolds. In this moment, it is although the rest of the world has stopped and it is just Jack and Rose.
- 8. REPRESENTAION The opening scene of the movie titanic shows the large number of people waving to the huge ship leaving the harbor. It shows how formally people including women were dressed. The very slow emotional music in the background plays throughout the opening scene. Then ending shows the modern machinery going deep inside the ocean to find the gigantic ship after it sank.
- 9. TYPOGRAPHY In the film opening , it shows ‘the Paramount Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox’. It further shows the ‘ A Lightstorm Entertainment Production’. Then a bigger font of words ‘TITANIC’ appears representing the actual movie name.
