... five, and six in our class book Film Art: An Introduction we learn the fundamentals of film; mise-en-scene, editing, and cinematography. Both mise-en-scene, editing, and cinematography deal with what is happening inside of the film frame, this includes the setting, costume, lighting, framing, photographic aspects, characters, editing, and cuts of the shot. Together these specific fundamental elements partake in the films that we watch providing dimension, mood, and style. The Big Combo is the epitome of film noir. Film noir’s visual style conceives a mood in a film with instability, double identities, and somewhat shifting values by using it’s techniques of darkness in shadows and night time scenes. In The Big Combo the main characters seem to have double identities “shadowed” upon them throughout the movie through silhouettes, shadows, and reflections, and not only do they have these double identities through mise-en-scene but also in the narrative. In the opening hospital sequence in The Big Combo, just as detective Diamond comes up the stairs and through the door we have a horizontal angle very slightly looking up (a low angle) into the hallway. As detective Diamond steps into the door past the officer the camera angle stays the same, both Mr. Diamond and the standing officer are in medium long shot. With the medium long shot we are able to make out the two nurses and reception desk in the back. In the hallway of the hospital the high-key lighting makes the contrast between...

...Billy Collins And All That Jazz: An Essay by J.Doria You can’t read Billy Collins’ poems without considering their background music, which, like his comic and physically impaired mice, perforates his words and timbre of his poetry, a distant accompaniment, a soundtrack to his verses. The central focus here will be Many Faces of Jazz from Picnic, Lightning with reference to some other works fromQuestions of Angels, The Apple that Astonished Paris and The Art of Drowning. Billy Collins has said that he likes to be alone with his reader, creating a very personal and intimate link between ourselves and the poet. Reading is a singular act and Collins makes full advantage of this. Not only does he seduce the reader by his profoundly simple yet enchanting verse, he shares his love of music as well, almost gifting us with a mixed tape ranging from classical to jazz to the blues to a track on the radio. In this poem, The Many Faces of Jazz, Collins reflects on our complicated relationship with this genre of music which he clearly loves “and, most essential, the whole/head furiously,/ yet almost imperceptibly nodding/ in total and absolute agreement.” The poem takes you into a smoky, hazy jazz bar perhaps by invitation where we watch an audience. Jazz can be a musical estrangement of sorts. It jars. Tempos can be jagged and ragged. It refuses to soar with Beethovian swells, climaxing gloriously and unforgivingly. We feel we should ‘understand’ it but don’t. One almost feels uneducated...

...Shantae Todd Intro to Jazz History Mrs. Lester 10 February 2014 "King of the Clarinet" Artie Shaw was a bandleader, clarinetist, composer, and writer. He was born Arthur Jacob Arshawsky on May 23, 1910, in New York, New York. Sometimes referred to as the King of the Clarinet, Artie Shaw was one of the leading jazz performers and bandleaders of the swing era of the 1930s and 1940s. Born on New York’s Lower East Side, he was the only child of Jewish immigrants from Russia and Austria. The family eventually moved to New Haven, Connecticut, where Shaw spent many of his formative years. A shy child, he was deeply hurt by the anti-Semitic taunts from his schoolmates. Shaw was further wounded when his father abandoned the family. While he learned the ukulele early on, Shaw first started getting serious about playing music when he took up the saxophone. He later moved on to the clarinet. Around the age of 15, he quit school to learn to become a better musician. Shaw listened to such jazz greats as Bix Beiderbecke and Louis Armstrong in an effort to improve his own playing. Moving to Cleveland, he eventually found work with Austin Wylie, a well-known bandleader. In addition to his music, Shaw was an avid reader and maintained literary aspirations. In 1927 Artie heard several "race" records, the kind then being made solely for distribution in black (or "colored," as they were then known) districts. After listening entranced to Louis Armstrong and his Hot Five playing Savoy Blues...

...you and all of its beauty. From the ever flowing Mississippi River, to the ledges of the mighty Grand Canyon, or even to the peak of Mt. Fuji there is an immense amount of things on this Earth that are so incredible it is hard to believe science and chance created these magnificent things. So what is the best explanation for these occurrences? I believe that these occurrences scream of an intelligent designer which also leads us to the existence of God. First I must explain what an argument for design is and then we will look at Paley’s Watchmaker Theory to give us better insight on this argument. Then I will point to Betty and Cordell’s argument that the things of our universe lead us to a belief in God (intelligent designer) and that the Big Bang theory is not the best explanation alone for the existence of God, and that a multiverse is not the best explanation for the existences in our universe. Design arguments most often try to explain the existence of God by pointing to various occurrences and objects within our world and universe that lead us to believe that there is an intelligent designer. According to the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy, design arguments usually consist of three premises. One is a premise that asserts that the material universe exhibits some verifiable property (F); Two is a premise that asserts that (F) is persuasive evidence of intelligent design or purpose; Three concludes that the best or most probable explanation that the material universe exhibits...

Mc Donald’s product/market expansion grids are as follows: Market penetration Marketing efforts of the company to offer their existing product in the current market is called market penetration strategy. This strategy is when the company is looking to adapt for increasing their sales and profits. The best way to do this is to attract the competitor’s customer and looking for potential customer for the existing products.

McDonald’s current products are Big Mac, Grilled chicken Foldovers, Quarter Pounder, Beverages, and others. As for their current market, they have students, working professionals and also families. In order to increase their market, Mc Donald’s collaborate with institutes and universities for opening an outlet at campuses, easily accessible places and commercial area.

...Mountain Lion The topic I chose to research is a mountain lion because I find them to be an interesting living mammal. I have three cats at home and wanted to research the correlation that the mountain lion and cats share. Mountain lions affect society in way that they are an endangered set of mammals because they are known to attack people and children. They once roamed nearly all of the United States. They were prized by hunters and despised by farmers and ranchers who suffered livestock losses at their hands. This has changed my view of science by looking at the mountain lion in a biological, physiological, psychological way. Anatomy The mountain lion is the largest cat native to North America. Their head is small and they have a short and round face while their neck and body are elongated and narrow. The mountain lion is that their hind legs are longer than their front legs in which they utilize for running and jumping. The mountain lion has a long spinal column, which provides an increase lumbar flexation when they run. Adult mountain lions are a plain colored cat. Their color can vary from grey to dark brown to tawny and buff cinnamon red depending on the geographical location that they reside in. The tail is long, cylindrical with lots of hair. The muzzles are black located on the sides. Their upper lip, chin, and throat are whitish. The tail is the same color as body, except for the tip, which is either dark brown or black. Male mountain lions are usually larger than...
