...700 Case Study 1 BATES BOATYARD Upon returning to civilian life after several years in the Navy, Sarah Bates sought a small business that she might buy. Being a thrifty person with no dependents, she had built up a fair amount of savings, the accumulation of which had been aided by the fact that she had seen considerable duty in areas where there had been nothing to buy. Bates finally located a small boatyard for sale in a town on the coast of Maine where she had spent many summers. The proprietor was getting along in years and wished to retire. He was offering the yard for sale at what Bates believed to be a fair starting price that could probably be worked down to a very reasonable figure through negotiation. It is not necessary here to go into the details of investigation and negotiation. Bates bought the yard. The business being somewhat larger than she could finance alone, she had borrowed the additional funds required from a friend, giving a mortgage on the property as security. Bates realized the need for adequate accounting records if she was to manage the business successfully. The records on hand were for cash receipts and disbursements only. Actual balance sheets and profit and loss statements that had been prepared for the former owner for tax purposes were also available. A person who was a reasonably capable bookkeeper and general office factotum had been inherited with the business. Having had a course in accounting in college, Bates felt capable of using...

...A violin, a knife, and a psychopath with mommy issues walk into a shower… Director Alfred Hitchcock, known for his affiliation with films specifically in the realm of horror, is able to present the notion of murder and mental illness in his 1960 film Psycho. Through the usage of elements such as dark visuals accompanying symbolism, and the character exploitation of Norman Bates, Hitchcock provides a suspenseful yet foreboding storyline for his audience. To begin with, I will introduce how Hitchcock utilized various visual techniques to inter-relate the concepts of murder and mental illness. As a whole, the film itself provides a very dark ambiance which can serve as a foreshadowing of Norman’s darker side; his split personality which the audience does not fully encounter until the end of the film but only receiving quick minor glimpses of throughout the film. One of the most prevalent parts of the film that depict this braking through of a darker side is when Norman eats dinner with Marion Crane. Through the dialogue in their conversation about Norman’s mother, we see the split personality becoming slowly more prevalent. This can especially be seen when Marion mentions putting his mother in “someplace,” referring to an institution, Norman’s face develops into this sinister look where his face falls behind the shadows while his eyes suddenly lights up; in this scene, Norman’s true character is hinted at and subtly foreshadows what is later to come. It is kind of ironic...

...Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock was released in 1960. An important relationship in this text is the unusual relationship between Norman and ‘Mother’. This relationship is unusual because although they are two separate entities and Mother is actually dead, there is a constant struggle for control of Norman’s mind and in the end, ‘Mother’ wins. This relationship helped me understand the main idea of madness through the parlour scene, the fruit cellar scene and the police station scene. The relationship between Norman and ‘Mother’ helped me identify and understand the idea of madness through symbolism, lighting and dialogue techniques in the parlour scene. This symbolism includes the stuffed owls, which seem ready to attack that are placed in the background in a low-angle mid shot of Norman. At another point in the scene, Norman leans forward into a close up. This shot helps support the idea that even though Mother is physically dead, she is alive and threatening to take over Norman’s mind. This can be seen through the lighting of Norman’s face, half-light, half dark, and the dialogue. “It's not like my mother is a maniac... We all go a little mad sometimes. Haven't you?” These techniques have been cleverly assembled by Hitchcock to subtly hint at the idea of madness and help us to get to know Norman, but is not yet prepared to reveal the extent of Norman’s madness due to Psycho being a horror film. The complex relationship helps us understand Norman as a character and the idea...

She was an advisor to nine black student trying to attend a previously all white school. She was also an important figure in the seminal moment of the civil rights movement. As a publisher and journalist, she was also a witness and advocate on a larger scale. Bates endured numerous hardships, but in the coming pass years her generous labors on behalf of equality opportunity have earned her many praise. Bates and her husband were important figures in the Little Rock Integration Crisis in 1957. The Bates published a local black newspaper, the Arksansas State Press, which advertised the violations of the Supreme Court's desegration rulings. She guided and advised the nine students, known as Little Rock Nine, when they attempted to enroll in an all white school.

...1960 film Psycho is considered to be one of the most suspenseful movies in history. It is difficult to determine if Hitchcock would be known as the master of horror if it weren’t for his cinematography and the way he understood how to stylize moments. Psycho is known for one of the most horrifying scenes in movie history, the shower scene. This scene is so carefully laid out and bone-chilling for its time that it has withstood the test of time and is still terrifying to this day. As Marion Crane begins to wash herself in the shower of room one, Hitchcock does one thing better than anybody else, he leaves just about everything to the imagination. Where as recent films are prone to showing nudity and gore, Hitchcock shows neither. As Mrs. Bates draws back the shower curtain and the high pitched, intense music begins; the most famous scream in film history is heard. The scene gets really technical shortly after the stabbing begins. Because Hitchcock leaves much to the imagination, he never shows the knife cutting Marion. The audience understands that she is being stabbed, but it becomes a reality when the camera pans to her feet moving around in the tub and the blood running down the drain. At first the amount of blood is minimal, but as the music gets faster paced and loud, the amount of blood becomes much greater. The music makes for a very intense scene. The music is very piercing to the ears in order to get across the feeling of pain caused by the knife. After the killer...

...handling tort liabilities. Recognizing and Minimizing Tort and Regulatory Risk Alumina Inc. is a $4bn U.S. based international aluminum company with eight locations worldwide. Alumina Inc. falls under certain government regulatory agencies and laws such as The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and CERCLA. Alumina Inc. was reported to be in violation of environmental discharge five years ago. Even though Alumina Inc. corrected the violation, Alumina Inc. still faces a possible bad reputation because of this incident. Alumina Inc. has had a good record ever since that incident was corrected. A local resident of the community named Kathy Bates has accused the company of repeatedly contaminating the waters of Lake Dira before. Kathy Bates has now filed a complaint against Alumina Inc. in regards to suspicion that her daughter contracted leukemia due to the consumption of contaminated water. This complaint calls for an investigation of the company’s practices with regard to the Clean Water Act of 1972. However, traffic is causing water pollution in Lake Dira as well. Increased traffic is poisoning the waters of Lake Dira with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as much as hundred times greater than pre-urban conditions and pose a danger to animal, aquatic, and human life. While the fact remains that Alumina Inc. did violate the PAH discharge norms five years prior, the state has become heavily industrialized. The individual...

...I had mixed opinions about the film Psycho. I thought starting out that the movie was very slow. Not a lot was happening in regards to moving the plot forward and I found it difficult to watch. Towards the beginning I actually fell asleep a few times. I also didn’t like that the first part of the movie really had nothing to do with the middle and end of the film. What I mean by this is when the movie opened the audience was following the life of Marion Crane. We learn her back story. Marion was a secretary who embezzled forty thousand dollars from her employer and then took off with the intention of running way to her lover Sam Loomis. Along the way it begins to rain and she gets tired and decides to stop at the Bates motel and meets, the owner, Norman Bates which seals her fate. After they spend some time talking over dinner they both retire to their separate rooms for the night and Marion decides to shower before bed. At this point Norman comes in and stabs her to death. What I found frustrating is that for almost an hour of the film we are following around this random woman thinking she is important to the overall plot and direction of the movie when in actuality we spent all this time learning about her life just to watch her get murdered in the shower less than an hour into the film. After this point she is rarely referenced again except in the context of trying to find her killer. Some may refer to this as an exciting turn in the story; I...

...movie changes from Marion’s work, giving the viewer an in depth look at her surroundings, to a scene of illegal fleeing. The problem arose when Marion’s stress caused rational thoughts over stealing personal cliental money. Marion has committed an illegal act which caused her to adapt to her choices and change locations. Alfred has caused a break in the conflict by having Marion stop at a small hotel called the Bates Motel. The transition from locations has helped Hitchcock with his depict of a feeling of alertness. The setting of the Bates Mansion is given a style that depicts an old Victorian view. From the staircase to the cellar, Hitchcock still gave unsure feelings when it came to safety inside the Bates house. The interior has a look that doesn’t give off too much emphasis. The idea is simple however it’s safe to say that by glance, nervousness can be added to the Bates homes first impression. From here the view is showing a young woman on the run from the law. Marion has fled with illegal tender to a hotel that hardly has rented vacancy. After meeting Norman Bates the idea that a man has being hidden from the world gives the viewer a chance to assume how the antagonist...

...Hitchcock Footprint Comparison Essay Alfred Hitchcock’s ability to draw the viewer into an atmosphere where you feel completely immersed is parallel to none. His style of directing has made movies recognizable beyond that of even a modern day film. His movies have been able to transcend that of many scary movies of the time because of the footprints that he embedded into each movie. These trademarks or seen throughout all of his movies, and they all share a common ground. In two of his greatest films Psycho and Rear Window you can see that these footprints attribute to the overall mise en scène of the movie. Some of the footprints that Hitchcock leaves in these two movies are extraordinary situations occurring to ordinary people, voyeurism, sound leading to climax, dark lighting, and close up shots. In Psycho one of the main characters Marion Crane an ordinary realtor's office secretary is thrusts into a situation where she is on the run from the law as well as her won guilt from stealing 40,000 thousand dollars. The fact that she works a nine to five just like every other American of the time creates common ground. When she was eventually murdered in a motel, it made the viewer feel as if it can happen to anyone who stays at a motel. In Rear Window the main character L.B. "Jeff" Jefferies was a photographer, a job which seems pretty ordinary but when he his bed ridden due to a broken leg he is thrust into an extraordinary situation where he is watching a murder investigation...

...Daisy Bates is remembered as an American Civil Rights Activist, who was not only a role model, but an important figure in the movement. As a young child, Bates suffered, but soon overcame several hardships that later shaped her into an influential African American. Bates’ most known endeavor was working to desegregate schools in Little Rock, Arkansas. Daisy Bates and her family faced numerous threats along the way to desegregation.

...Orange has Alex, who is one of the most memorable characters ever. He will forever be stuck in my mind. Such a well-structured and engaging story! I do have to admit though that there's something extra special and extra disturbing about the movie adaptation. The actor that plays Alex just truly captures everything about the character, and I love everything about the movie. Such a classic film, and something I wish everyone would watch at least once. Such memorable characters in here. And some of the most memorable scenes as well. If you're looking for a Stephen King book to read, check this out. It's very different from his other novels, and it's what made me appreciate King as an imaginative author. I do have to mention the movie, as Kathy Bates was incredible in it. This list can not exist without this book. Some of the events that are told in this book have been some of the most agonizing things I've ever read. It's one of those rare books that made me put it down several times, thinking I could not continue with it! And yes, the movie... must watch. This book is about an unstable kid, and the story is told from the perspective of a mother who also disturbed and unstable. Put them together and...

...Psych“O My Gosh” By: Kody Barnes Stylized moments can be seen throughout a multitude of the some of the greatest movies ever made. Alfred Hitchcock was a master of the stylized moments, especially in the film Psycho (1960). The scene that is most prominently remembered in many people’s minds is the murder scene. The scene where Marion Crane is murdered is just jammed with stylized moments, and deserves to be further analyzed because of the thought Hitchcock put into directing this scene so magnificently. The scene begins with the shower still running, and water washing away all of the blood off of Marion. The camera starts on Marion’s leg before following a stream of blood and water mixing together. The scene also cuts away all music at this point, and only includes the background sound of the water flowing from the shower. The choice to avoid using non-diegetic music may have been a sign of how important the loss of life in this scene actually is to the movie. The camera continues panning left until it reaches the drain of the shower, and the blood and water swirl around the drain trying to stay out of the reach of the drain like humans do a “swirl” to avoid the loss of life. As the water is swirling the camera zooms toward the drain. The zooming of the camera towards the blood swirling down the drain shows a deeper meaning behind the loss of life that Marion is currently experiencing. As the water pours down the drain, and the camera zooms closer it leads to...
