2 pages Destructive Communication Write a 2 page paper considering the following: Destructive communication takes many forms. This is vividly depicted in the film, The 33 . Describe a work interaction in which you witnessed or experienced one-upping, withdrawing, bottling negative emotions, lashing out unexpectedly, engaging in personal insult rather than addressing a problem, or insistence on handling issues alone. Be sure to define the term(s) you are using for this example. Explain the response this behavior created in the interaction and how you or the other person reacted in turn. NOTE: If you cannot think of a personal work situation where one of these events occurred, you might want to view The 33 and use an example from the film. Given what you have learned in this chapter, discuss what you would have done differently in that interaction and what advice would you give others in a similar situation. If you choose to use the film, discuss what did the miners did to resolve their communication and work through group conflict. Use at least three sources in addition to the course text.

The first part of the final exam itself is an exercise in th.pdf

ablazeaepl

The first part of the final exam itself is an exercise in the art of active listening, observation, persuasion, empathy, and self-awareness as you absorb the film Twelve Angry Men. This intense film is set in a hot, sticky jury room during the dog days of August 1957 located in the Criminal Courthouse at 100 Center Street, New York City where 12 men are deliberating the fate of a young man accused of murdering his father. The film digs beneath the surface of the individual jurors and does a great job of demonstrating how important it is to remember that facts are facts. No amount of emotion or wishful thinking can change the nature of a fact. People can interpret facts differently, but that interpretation may not be supported by the facts. The job of a jury is to determine whether or not the facts presented are accurate enough to be able to come to a decision on the issue the jury is deliberating. The judge applies the law. The film also is a portrait of how human frailties and bias can participate in a decision-making process. Each of the 12 different juror characters possesses unique peculiarities and biases. If you think this movie is not relevant to negotiation you would be wrongthis is the ultimate negotiation...negotiating over whether to strip someone of their liberty and possibly their life. First and foremost, before a jury can agree on a decision, they must all agree on the facts...that is their only job. If possible, watch the film and then step away. Have something to eat or go for a walk or just change the environment from that of where you watched the film so you can think about what you just watched and let it sink in. Think about preparing an outline of the interactions you choose to focus on. It will keep you organized while you write. B: Compose an analysis of the movie using the information that you have learned in this course and your own personal life experience. Remember, I am most interested in how you plan to integrate some of the basic types of negotiation that were presented during the course. What I mean by that is how you use the correct terminology in context when explaining an observed interaction and then applying the appropriate concept to that interaction that supports your reasoning. Examples: Was the interaction between the jurors distributive or integrative in nature? Why? Or was it a combination of those types of negotiation or some other approach? Provide an example to illustrate your reasoning. Use your course materials for reference. Second Part (10 Points) The following questions are designed to be a self-analysis of sorts. It is very important that negotiators are completely honest with themselves. Through personal knowledge, negotiators have learned what environments either support or detract from their performance and prepare based on that. Example: Are you the type of person that will stick with a decision that you believe is proper in the face of stiff opposition or be too prideful not to admit an.

COM 203 Introduction to Communication Final Analysis Paper150 poi.docx

brownliecarmella

COM 203: Introduction to Communication Final Analysis Paper 150 points Your final paper will be related to the movie The Devil Wears Prada. We will watch this movie during class time, but if you are absent from class on the day(s) the movie is shown, it will be your responsibility to obtain a copy of the film and watch it outside of class on your own time. The movie exemplifies many of the different types of communication interactions we have learned throughout the course. Pick 1 type of interaction that you will focus your paper on: Ø Interpersonal relationships (both romantic and friendship) Ø Organizational communication (superior/subordinate, and colleagues) Ø Small group communication Ø Intercultural communication (remember this is not just based on race/ethnicity but may also include people from different social circles or different priorities) Note: When making this decision it is important to consider which topic is of most interest to you. You may want to watch some of the movie before making your decision. Therefore, I recommend you take notes on each type of interaction so that you can make your decision at a later time. Within each of these types of interactions you will see a number of different communication principles we have learned throughout the course. You will pick a minimum of 3 principles to focus on: Ø Verbal communication (language, language functions, connotative/denotative, concrete/abstract, direct/indirect perception checking) Ø Nonverbal communication (nonverbal codes) Ø Listening and adapting to others (listening styles, barriers to listening, noise, perception checking) Ø Leadership and power Ø Organizational climate and culture (upward/downward, communication traits, bureaucracy) Ø Diversity (labeling, prejudice, discrimination, ethnocentrism/chauvinism, cultural dimensions, role-taking, assuming similarity/differences, in-group/out-group) Ø Relational escalation and de-escalation Ø Conflict and conflict resolution Ø Mass communication and media literacy (convergence, platform agnostic, media multi- taskers, media addiction, concentration of ownership, hyper-commercialism, product placement) Note: Each bullet point counts as one principle. For example you might choose (1) verbal communication, (2) leadership and power, and (3) organizational climate and culture. Within each of these categories you can focus on as many subtopics as you wish. However, if you only discuss language, its functions, and connotative/denotative language that only counts as one principle, not three! Finally, you must include a minimum of 1 communication theory we have discussed in class: Ø Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis Ø Expectancy Violations Theory Ø Uncertainty Reduction Theory Ø Social Penetration Theory Ø Social Exchange Theory Ø Relational Dialectics Theory Ø Structuration Theory Ø Systems Theory Ø Theory of Bureaucracy Ø Social Identity Theory Ø Identity Negoti ...

Acting and Acting Style Prepare As we have been discussing, the mise en scène of a film is the use of a variety of design elements to create the visual theme. As you prepare to write this discussion, take a few moments to do the following: · Read any required and recommended reading materials for this week, especially Chapter 5 (Mise en Scene and Actors). · Review the grading rubric for this discussion. · Select a full-length film from the AFI 10 Top 10 list. Reflect Mise en scène refers to different technical elements used in making a film such as lighting and sound, both of which you have already analyzed in this course. The term also encompasses the role of actors in a film, their physical positioning and movements within the frame, as well as the different styles and types of acting. You can classify an acting category using only one film as reference, but these categories are subject to change. Each new role helps to clarify or shift an actor’s designation. Do some actors always fall into the same category? How can actors change from category to category? Does genre have any effect on the acting styles present in a given film? Write(due Thursday, Day 3) Please view the video Adding Pictures and Video to Discussions and Introductions for guidance on how to integrate multimedia with your response. Using specific examples from your chosen film, write an initial post of at least 200 words which should · Identify three actors from your film and classify each according to the acting category listed in your text. · Explain your reasons for classifying the actors as you do. Use specific references to the film and pay special attention to how these decisions impacted characterization. Also, consider the impact of any realistic or stylized portrayals within the film. · Focus on one of the actors you’ve discussed. Based on other films the actor has been in, would this actor always be placed in the same category? If so, what does this say about the category or actor? If not, what can you infer about the flexibility of these categories? Provide evidence (references from other films, including film clips and stills) to support your argument. 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 as outlined by the Ashford Writing Center. Respond to Peers(due Monday, Day 7) Respond to at least two classmates who chose different actors or different categories than you did.

is a term meant to encompass the arrangement and use of a variety of design elements in creating the visual theme of a film. Please look through Chapter 5 (Mise en Scene and Actors) for more information on this term. It can be easier to grasp the importance of the term mise en scène if we break it down into its component elements. This week, we’ll look at the impact of lighting choices on the creation of meaning in a film. In any film, the intensity and direction of lighting will influence how an image is perceived by the viewer, and it can establish or enforce particular themes. Using specific examples from your chosen film, construct a blog post in which youIdentify the type of lighting used in the film (traditional three-point, high-key, or low-key) and assess the impact of the lighting used to establish the theme. What are the benefits of the style of lighting used?How did this technique contribute to the theme?How was the lighting technique suited to the genre of the film? For example, documentary films tend to rely on natural light as a way of creating an overall tone of authenticity.Compare how the scene would play if different choices had been made. 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 as outlined by the Ashford Writing Center. It is suggested that you approach this blog by focusing your attention on the same film you will write about in this week’s “Genres and Genre Film” assignment. *Blog 2* As we have been discussing, the mise en scène of a film is the use of a variety of design elements to create the visual theme. Please look through Chapter 5 (Mise en Scene and Actors) for more information on this term. Last week, we examined how different lighting styles and choices affected the final impact of a film. This week, we will consider different types of sound at work in film and assess how they contribute to the overall sense of meaning in a film. There are many types of sound in a film. Some are diegetic (sounds that are represented as coming from within the world of the film); others are non-diegetic (sounds that come from outside the world of the film). Using specific examples from your chosen film, construct a blog post in which youDescribe each of the three basic categories of sound (dialogue, sound effects, and music). Explain how the different categories of sound are being used in your chosen film. Assess the impact of sound in establishing the theme. How does the use of sound inform the mood of the scene, or the film overall? Can you identify specific sounds in your film that allow you to infer a particular genre? Since each category of sound may produce a range of effects, how might you characterize the effects in your film? For example, realistic and expected sound effects may have a different effect on a viewer than ...

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. chapters 1, 3 and 10 are attached .

Film WorksheetArt Education 1600 Art and Music since 1945For t

ChereCheek752

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. Late Paper Policy: You will lose points for assignments turned in late after the final deadline. 1 day late: 20% 2 days late: -40% 3 days late: -60% 4 days late: -80%Step 2 Organize your data This step is about your experience of viewing the film and how the director kept you engaged.

Essay Types The Evaluation Essay Standards of Evaluation 1. Aesthetic Evaluation: ●Deals with conceptions of beauty (physical & otherwise). ●Judgement involves 2 criteria: coherence & comparison. E.g. “Is graffiti an eyesore?” 2. Ethical Evaluation: ●Deals with moral perspective. ●Judgement may involve religious, moral, ideological issues. E.g. “Is the continued existence of the Canadian senate defensible in the wake of recent scandals?” 3. Logical Evaluation: ●Deals with reasoning & evidence in arguments. ●Judgement involves assessment of reasoning, evidence, emotional appeals.
