...Disney Pixar’s movie “Inside Out” relates to an 11-year-old girl named Riley and how her five emotions shape her perception and transitioning into her preteen years. Scientist Dacher Keltner and Paul Ekman served as consultants for the movie, making it their goal for the public to understand these five emotions and how function in the brain. In the article “The Science of “Inside Out”, they stress the idea that emotions are what makes individuals perceive the world, and how we act upon events that happens in our lives. They state that after the age of eleven “positive emotions” drop rapidly in “frequency and intensity” (Keltner and Ekman). In this movie the main character Riley is mostly expressed in Joy, nonetheless, the star of the film is Sadness, demonstrating it “as a drag” in Riley’s life. Sadness plays an important role due to the fact that it shows how Riley perceives certain phases of her life;...

...Midterm Requirement General Psychology Movie Reaction Write-up Disney’s Pixar’s Inside Out Born in the 21th century, I was blessed enough to grow up in the luxury that is modern animation in entertainment. I remember the first animated movie I saw was DreamWorks’ Prince of Egypt. From then on, my fascination over animation and cartoons ran like water. I was five years-old when my mother let me watch my first Pixar film which was “Toy Story”. From that moment on, Pixar never failed to fascinate me. Last Wednesday, cinemas nationwide premiered Pixar’s latest work, Inside Out. I already saw the movie trailer before I went to watch the movie itself. The movie teaser was very intriguing. In the 4 minute video, they showcased all of their classic movies and the emotions that they threw towards the audience. After the memory montage, they introduced five characters each symbolizing the five root emotions of man; Joy; shown as a yellow figure that resembles the shape of a star, Sadness; shown as a blue character that resembles the shape of a tear-drop, Anger; the red fellow in the shape of a box, Fear; the purple figure that resembles the shape of a question-mark & Disgust; shown as a green character that resembles the shape of a broccoli. The plot of the story was as simple as it was intricate. It was about the struggle of a young girl, named Riley Andersen, as her emotions meet a dilemma that almost dealt her her biggest disaster. The conflict started...

...SOCIETAL ENVIRONMENT Sequel Installment Although Pixar Animation Studios have resisted the temptation in making instalments among their films, producers have failed to live up to their stand. Toy Story, the ground breaking, blockbuster animated film launched in 1995, took nearly four years to finally have its sequel, the Toy Story 2 in 1999. Eleven years after the second instalment, Toy Story launched its third film in the series, the Toy Story 3 in 2010. All three sequels have made it to the lime light as one of the top grossing films in the history of animated films. Aside from the Toy Story movies, Disney-Pixar have also produced a number of successful installment movies like Cars, Monsters Inc., and the upcoming sequel of Finding Nemo (Finding Dory). In the course of time, film instalments have been an indication of opportunity to the animation company. More installments, means another profit generating loop for Pixar and an opportunity of growth to the company’s brand awareness to the general audience. Genre Variations & Character Diversity Pixar have been the Holy Grail of computer generated imagery films, and since its commencement in 1975, it has been known to produce quality child and family oriented pictures. Movies like Wall E, Toy Story, Cars, Ratatouille, and other films have been positioned to distinct male characters. In the film industry, variations in genres and diversity in character creation are crucial to maintain interest among audiences...

...https://www.nyfa.edu/student-resources/zero-budget-filmmakers-checklist/ Watching the World Turn Through a Lens is Exactly What We Need Right Now Focusing solely on moving images (aka video) rather than still photographs (I know, video is just a series of photographs), I will show you that movies, television and online videos are more than just a form of entertainment and an after-work pass-time. DOCUMENTARIES Obviously documentaries are thought to be the most “educational” form of video production. During elementary school we would all get excited when we found out we would be watching a movie in class rather than doing work, but after watching Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth (pollution/climate change) and Morgan Spurlock’s Super Size...

...Loves Raymond called “Father Knows Least” Raymond and his wife sign up for a Parenting class where they learn about active listening. In this clip he practices these techniques with his daughter Allie in order to try to get through to her about her bad behavior. Here, he tries to see her perspective, he relates to her, and makes eye contact and appropriate body gestures. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VOubVB4CTU I can apply this to my own life by trying to remember that I will actually be more effective if I put forth the extra effort to listen and engage and empathize with who I am speaking to, whether I want to or not. People will look up to me and respect me more if they feel like I genuinely care about them. Another thing that stuck out to me in Covey’s fifth habit which kind of builds off of what was mentioned above, was when he said that only 10 percent of our communication is represented by the words we say, another 30 percent by our sounds, and 60 percent by body language. That is a very small amount that is conveyed by our actual words. If we don’t use body language then it conveys that we are not listening , engaged, or...

...FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE BESTSELLING BIOGRAPHIES OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN AND ALBERT EINSTEIN, THIS IS THE EXCLUSIVE BIOGRAPHY OF STEVE JOBS. Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing. At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering. Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing offlimits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and...

...Cooperative Strategy ‘The authors have provided an ambitious overview of the cooperative strategy literature. The book will be welcomed by serious students and scholars focussed on this important phenomenon.’ Paul W. Beamish, Canada Research Chair in International Business, Ivey Business School, University of Western Ontario ‘This book provides a comprehensive, well-organized and richly illustrated analysis of inter-firm cooperation. While relevant for managers and business students, it extensively draws on the most up-to-date research, making it also a valuable source for academics studying strategic alliances and the wide array of management issues they raise. Child, Faulkner, and Tallman have done a remarkable job of putting together in a highly consistent way all the knowledge available on what has become an essential facet of business development, namely Cooperative Strategy.’ Pierre Dussauge, Professor of Strategic Management, HEC – School of Management, Paris ‘I highly recommend this book for alliance scholars and practitioners. The breadth of coverage of the practical and theoretical literature on cooperative strategy is one of the book’s primary contributions. The authors demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter and the numerous case studies demonstrate a close connection with actual experience.’ Andrew Inkpen, J. Kenneth and Jeanette Seward Chair in Global Strategy, Thunderbird, The Garvin School of International Management ‘Companies need...
