...Paper One Assignment for Film One (F1) ARTH 334 James Jackson February 7, 2015 “The Kid” debuted in 1921 written and directed by Charles Chaplin is great film about a poor man (played by Charles Chaplin) who runs into a situation that tests his morals and character. He finds an abandoned baby orphan on the street and not having the means to support another person he still decides to care for this child (played by Jackie Coogan) and teaches him what he knows about the world. This film perfectly presents a good balance of comedy and drama in a way that makes you sympathize with the main characters and route for their happiness of staying together. Three specific items to concentrate on are its camerawork, editing, and sound. The camerawork (Cinetography) aided in the story telling of this film by using match on action, specifically different scene angles showing different views within same scene and adding continuation to the story. This type of scene change allowed for movement of the subject as it was occurring to various places and continue temporal continuity. I noticed however the camera was always still with limited left and right panning action only. Adding more movement to the camera through tracking shot could have possibly made the scene more fluid in motion avoiding the viewer from orienting themselves at every scene change. It would have been possible for Chaplin to add this technique as it was already available and featured in an Italian film in 1914...

...ritics, record-label hype and American modern-rock radio, which Yorke compares to "a fridge buzzing". This coincides with the soundtrack of the film, with sounds that weave in and out of snatches of interviews, conversations, and songs. Along with this "radio wave" effect is a series of edits and quickly moving shots with stills, slow tracking shots, time-lapse photography, and colour/black-and-white film and video. The documentary opens with video taken from the back of a subway train, along with the track "Fitter Happier" from OK Computer. This cuts to the band members reading off several dozen radio intros. Interspliced with the promotional material is live footage taken from various venues around the world, including the song "Karma Police" on Late Show with David Letterman. Included in the documentary are various video clips of television appearances, newspaper articles, and other mentions of Radiohead in the media. In a clip from a Sky News programme, presenter Kay Burley comments on the video for the band's song "No Surprises", saying "Music to cut your wrists to. [...] It's the most miserable-sounding tune I've ever heard." While watching the video, the programme's music reviewer quips "You'll probably quite enjoy it because he actually drowns at the end". The making of the video is then shown, where frontman Thom Yorke is lip-synching while trapped in a tank of rising water.[2] The world tour that is the subject of the film has subsequently been admitted as a...

...obesity. Moreover, obese children have a much higher risk of many health problems such as coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and certain cancers--all of which are fatal if left untreated. In 2010, a mother from California sued McDonald’s over the company’s marketing practice of Happy Meal. The mother claimed that McDonald’s used alluring toys to lure kids into Happy Meal. This lawsuit, which might be viewed by many as senseless and absurd, was one of McDonald’s biggest cases. In order to come out of the lawsuit ahead, this largest fast food chain had to undergo some major organizational changes. In this paper, we would like to use the knowledge learned in the class to analyze the event (the lawsuit) and its effects on McDonald’s. The paper will have four main parts. In the first part, we provide a brief introduction of the company, McDonald’s, and the lawsuit. In the second part, we will use the concepts learned in class to analyze Happy Meal’s influencing strategies and the organizational changes during and after the suit. We believe that Happy Meal’s influencing strategies deserve our attention as they were the main causes of the crisis. Since its Happy Meal’s influencing...

...Should We Restrict Marketing to Children? Kelli Zimmerman-Klemp November 25, 2013 Ethics and Decisions Should We Restrict Marketing to Children? This issue of whether or not advertising aimed at children should be restricted is a strange one to me. When presented with the issue, my first thought was, “Assuming, of course, that the advertising is truthful (which, if it’s not, is a problem unrelated to whom its target audience is), why would we need to restrict advertising to children?” Thinking about it a bit, I was unable to think of a reason why it would be wrong to market to kids. Picking up Taking Sides Clashing Views in Business Ethics and Society (Newton, Englehardt, & Pritchard), I was eager to learn why such advertising might be harmful, and thus, unethical, for children. In reading the introduction to the debate, I was reminded that “children do not have the fully developed cognitive skills necessary for making…an informed decision” (Newton et al., p. 256). I had a feeling this last sentence would play a role in the argument against marketing to children. Stop the Presses I began with Stephanie Clifford’s 2010 article from The New York Times, “A Fine Line When Ads and Children Mix” (Newton et al., p.258). Clifford specifically addresses advertising in magazines aimed at children. The Children’s Advertising Review Unit, an arm of the Council of Better Business Bureaus set up by the National Advertising Review Counsel (asrcreviews.org), has been set up...

...1.Discuss how the two cases in this chapter illustrate the major theme of this text: changes in the macro environment affect individual firms and industries through the microeconomic factors of demand, production, cost and profitability. Drawing on current business publications, find some updated facts for each case that support this theme. Both the cases McDonald’s in China and Wal-Mart in Mexico show how the interplay of microeconomic and macroeconomic factors influences managers’ competitive strategies. For both of these company, expansion abroad was a strategic move that helped offset slowing in the United States. However, both cases show how companies had to understand consumer behavior in these countries and the nature of competition from both local and international sources. is prevalent that several changes in the macro environment have had an effect on the profitability of individual firms and industries. The text states that downturns in economic activity forced all the fast-food companies to develop new strategies. During this economic downturn McDonald’s was one company in particular that has developed strategies that were influenced by microeconomic changes. A great example is when McDonald’s entered the Chinese market they had to take into consideration consumer taste and acceptance in China. They had to decided whether or not to have the menu in Chinese or English and whether or not to take on the American menu or add more Chinese influenced menu items. Cost...

...A Happy Meal for the Mind When I was a little girl I always thought it was a treat to visit McDonalds. This magical place had a giant play-place, ice cream, French fries and of course that special surprise toy contained inside the happy meal. What else could I have wanted? This world lost all of its glamour however, when I became a teen who experienced the inner workings of this land from the side of employment. I will never forget the place that was to be my first experience of the working world. My Fifteenth birthday had just passed and this meant I was finally old enough to enter the work force. So I went to the only place in the area that would hire a kid without experience or a driver’s license, McDonalds. Now, I wasn't entirely thrilled about the idea of working in this environment but if I wanted to get a car in the next year it was off to work for me. Somewhat sullenly, I donned my uniformed baseball cap and made my way behind the service counter. Feeling a little nervous, I fumbled as I attempted to tie my apron behind my back. I began to wonder what I might be assigned to do first. "Well, as long as I can work behind the scenes and avoid talking to people I should be okay." I thought. Standing motionless, I observed the fast-food frenzied scene. Employees were running here and there yelling to one another, order screens were flashing, various machines were buzzing...

...Because it may result that consumers would not have to hesitant between cheap burger meal and expensive healthy meal. Customers will rather go for healthy meal if the prices differences are approximately small. Although the launching of the new products of the company is not doing well, McDonald’s still wants to maintain selling the healthy products such as fruits, salads, and vegetables as well as fruit juice especially for kids. Because McDonald’s knows that child is one the major consumers in their business strategy, and therefore, they come out with healthy food which can attract their parents’ minds, as the children would consume whatever if their parents would allow them to. If parents found that there are fruits and vegetables in the Happy Meal box, without any consideration, they would go for it. Besides McDonald’s supports sport, the company is sponsoring a lot of sport event such as football and tennis. As nowadays, children are influenced by athletes like David Beckham and Michael Jordon. Therefore, McDonald’s now is implementing the Happy Meals with some sport related gadgets, which is aim to attract children’ attention on their role model of players in gadgets. McDonald’s has made a big efforts with their best possibility means to offer the consumers an assorted range of products against the issues of obesity arise in the world. Therefore, it is unfair for Royal Family to blame on McDonald’s of promoting an obese lifestyle as McDonald’s has tried their best to...

...market very similar to the new product lines. It will be very important to reach the health conscious consumer. To promote health, each oatmeal package will include a sticker coupon good for $1.00 off the price of the Carrot-Orange Smoothie. The coupon will have an expiration date two weeks from the date of purchase. This markets to the health conscious consumer that prefers oatmeal over a biscuit, therefore they will most likely prefer the veggie smoothie over an ice cream treat. This marketing strategy will continue at McDonald’s 60 days after the introduction of the veggie smoothie, allowing time for all to enjoy several before they are charged full price. McDonald’s has been in the news heavily regarding the toys in their Happy Meals for children. A lawsuit filed on behalf of a...

...2. From Thomas Springer’s inventory, multiple things can be deduced about his life and daily activities. For one thing, it is evident that Thomas Springer did work outside, most likely agricultural and lumber work. He has both a large amount of supplies intended for work outside, including crowbars, axes, and plows, as well as a large portion of agricultural and lumber goods, such as potatoes, cider, and wood. Not only this, but it is noticeable that he has more boots than he has drawers. The fact that he would have more boots than underwear shws that he certainly has a great need for boots, a need which would be justified by daily outdoor agricultural work. Although it is obvious that a good portion of this man’s day and his income is determined by outdoor work, it is also evident that his time is not entirely dominated by such work. It is listed that he has “a lot of books”. It can be assumed that if Springer had no time remaining outside of his agricultural work, then he would be unable to have time to read and thus be unlikely to accumulate many books. Therefore Springer most likely has spare time outside of working, which he is able to use for leisure. This, along with the fact that Springer is able to afford not only a lot of books for pure leisure, but also 2 slaves shows that, although perhaps not extremely wealthy, Springer is certainly well off and providing for himself beyond sustenance. Springer is evidently, thorugh agricultural and lumber work, making a healthy...

...Bump in the Night: The Vampire Bat Authors Note This essay of a memoir has been submitted on April 7, 2013 Oh my god! This did not just happen to me. I find myself locked outside of my apartment with just my underoos on. I'm around eleven or years old at this time in my life. My mom and I have been in our apartment for about a year or two at this point so know my neighbors petty well by now. I had just moved to Maryland from Savannah, GA a few years ago. I'm slowly adjusting to being a latch key kid because my mother was a corrections officer and worked odd shifts sometime early morning or the midnight shift. I have two older brothers Mike who is the oldest at 7 years older than me and Toby who is 6 years older than me. They are not living with us at this time. My mom has been working these odd shifts for a year or so at this time so I was used to being home alone. There were rules I had to follow to keep myself safe. I'm pretty sure all latch key kids parents made them live by these rules as well. Never open the door from anyone but my mom or my brothers unless given direct instructions from either one of them. Don't give the impression that I might be home alone. Sometimes I would leave the television on or radio in the living room to give the illusion that there is some activity going on inside our apartment. This being home alone at night had become standard operating procedure at this point. There were just a few things that really bothered me when she would...
