...The film ‘Gallipoli’ based off the war in 1915 that was held in Gallipoli demonstrates mateship and the qualities of mateship throughout the Australian and New Zealand soldiers. Peter Weir who is the director of the movie has shown friendship through the two main characters Archy and Frank when it shows the way they care for one another, when they go into the desert and train together, when Archy lets Frank be a runner and sacrifices his life so that Frank won’t get killed. Towards the start of the film Frank didn't like Archy at all and they were sort of rivalries but by the end of the film it is shown how much Frank really did care for him. It shows this when Frank ran back to the frontline to stop them going ahead with fighting so that Archy wouldn't die. It also shows that they cared for each other when Frank is determined to help him get to the frontline and be able to fight as well as when Frank decides to go with him. The whole film is based on the way they care for each other but with caring comes mateship and so therefore Peter Weir shows mateship throughout this movie with the relationship of Archy and Frank....

And dying,” Paper magazine’s Kim Hastreiter says halfway through the tour of her Super (Duper) Market, which will be open Friday through the weekend in Manhattan’s meatpacking district. She is completely elated and, more important, satiated, by what’s in store: “The best ice cream (Humphry Slocombe), the best cornbread (Red Rooster), the best olive oil (Sciabica’s),” she says. Here, at what is a smorgasbord of carefully procured and exquisitely packaged food stuff, all the stars of Hastreiter’s bicoastal culinary-craft world collide. The vendors hail mostly from Brooklyn (Empire Mayonnaise, Morris Kitchen, Mile End) and California’s Bay Area (Boulettes Larder, Modern Appealing Clothing, Tartine Bakery and Cafe). “I’m kind of a maven, and these are really my favorite things,” says Hastreiter pointing to the Tang Brothers noodle stand. “Those are, like, the best noodles.” Walk through the mart and you might sample homemade mozzarella on honey-drizzled toast from the Cobble Hill restaurant Brucie, buy a Sol LeWitt star bowl (Hastreiter’s pick) at...

...feel the inauthenticity and lack of spirit. It is rather difficult to endure. After World War 2, Italian Neorealism emerged, portraying Italy’s social progress and cultural change as it was the only film industry in Western Europe to survive the economical, physical, and psychological damage of the war. It was the first postwar cinema to break the chains of the studio as it introduced narrative film techniques such as the use of nonprofessional actors, improvisation of the scripts, and on-location shooting. The film techniques allowed for Italian Neorealism to truly depict the poverty and frustration in Italy post-WWII. Bicycle Thieves was an Italian Neorealist film that influenced modern US films with its sad ending. The movie showed viewers that every sad movie does not necessarily have a happy ending, as it is with war....

...DVD cover, ‘Class On Grass’ I will be analysing my own DVD cover, ‘Class On Grass’. The genre of this film is a hybrid genre of sport and co medy. The stereotypical conventions of sport and comedy include football, running and, for comedy, laughter, of course, to attract a bigger, mainstream audience. My target audience are anybody over the age of 12, who are also interested in football or comedy. The protagonists of my film are England football stars Wayne Rooney and David Beckham. These two are immensely famous and are known all over the world. However, people only know the sporting side to them but not the personal side. This will engage the interest of my target audience because they will desire to see these two legends in this movie and also see the other side of them. Also, the connotations of the colours red, white and green represent the England flag and a football pitch. It symbolises football as a whole. The denotation is that it is Wayne Rooney and David Beckham; the connotations of these two players are skills and legends. This will entice the attention of my target audience, as they will recognise these two players and will want to see them in action. The demographic of this DVD cover is comedy and football fans, which are over the age of 12. They will enjoy watching their idols battle it out for the number 1 spot. They will also ache in laughter as this amusing rivalry is occurring. Firstly, the title is big, bold and clear, as is the font, just as you...

Añonuevo, Sabbyna R. Cara, Angelica P. Paguiligan, Noemi D. BAMC 4B Mr. Regemrei P. Bernardo MARCH 2016 Chapter I The Problem and Its Setting INTRODUCTION A film is a characterization of diverse emotions and motions of a society (Santillan, 1998, 155, as cited in Campomanes, 2015). As disciplines and fields of knowledge, History and Film differ from their own characteristics and potencies however as in the teaching of history, there are times when their relationship is evident. According to CCP (1994) historical films are “films based on biographies and events in the distant past.” Following this definition, it has been said that there are two kinds of historical films, one that uses history only as a context and the latter that attempts to directly represent a historical period, place or personality. (Navarro 2008, 134 as cited in Campomanes, 2015) The amount of information we gain from a book can hardly be equaled to the ones we gain in a film for the reason that a film is limited with its running time. Although with...

...Essay on celebrity Being a celebrity has not only a bright side. Everyday thousand of people live in the reflection of fame, some of them had lost their touch on reality. The phenomenon “Celebrity” is an abused term. You do not longer have to be talented to be acknowledged, and adored. If you were called a celebrity years ago it really meant something. Much like today, it is an easy way to achieve fame if you are attractive and self-representational. Maybe it is not a permanent status, but the 15 minutes it last, affect the persons permanent. But why do we seek fame? Why do we not have enough in our self? The article “Mindfulness in everyday life – so you want to be famous?” is written by Donna Rockwell, a licensed clinical psychologist, and is a specialist in mental health. She has had fame close to her life. But not in a way you imagine. Her grandmother said that she was her favourite celebrity, and she will never forget that. Maybe if you have tried something likely you can relate? Donna tells about Andy Warhol who has said: “In 15 minutes everybody will be famous.” Maybe she is right. There is something about the rush of fame, which makes us simmer. We want it so badly, that we all dream about it, from time to another. Filmmaker John Waters appears in the article with the statement: “Most everybody secretly imagines themselves in show business, and every day on their way to work, they’re a little bit depressed they are not. People are sad they’re not famous in America...

...How a Publicity Biitz Created The iVIyth of Subliminal Advertising By Stuart Rogers I n September 1957, I began what to me was a serious study of contemporary applied psychology at Hofstra C'ollege in Hempstead, Long Island. At exactly the same time, in nearby New York City, an unemployed market researcher named James M. Vicary made a startling announcement based on research in high-speed photography later popularized by Eastman Kodak Company. The Tachistoscope Some time before, a device had been developed that could emit a flash of white light at a speed of I/60,000th ol a second. It was called the tachistoscope. The light pulse of the tachistoscope was so fast that it was imperceptible to human consciousness—what I was learning as a psychology student to call "subliminal." because it was below ("sub") the threshold ("limen") of human perception. The work done for Kodak involved a tachistoscope providing illumination in a pitch-dark studio for a large-lens camera with an open aperture. In one series of experiments, the flash of the tachistoscope was triggered electronically by the sound of a rifle shot, and the image of a bullet in flight was frozen on color film. Perhaps you have seen samples of these remarkable photographs hanging on the walls of your local camera store. Retainers and Consulting Fees Armed with the scientific sound of "tachistoscope,** Vicary invented a sparkling new pseudoscience, and proceeded to contact the CEOs, marketing directors, and advertising...

...BBFC – This Is England. This is England is a British film written and directed by Shane Meadows in 2006. The film revolves around the life of a young boy facing social challenges, who later finds company with a young group of skinheads in 1983. The film highlights the origin of their subculture, which can be traced back to the 1960’s. The film also highlights the social issues that were dominant within the society, as well as the division between skinheads in the society because of their nationalist views. Becuase this film was produced in UK, the film had to undergo certain levels of scrutiny under media regulation bodies. According to the Oxford Dictionary of Media and Communication, media regulation is the “control and supervision of organizations exercised by external authorities through the application of rules.”(ODMC 2011). The setup of regulation bodies in a society stimulates domestic production of films, and guarantees public interest when watching films within the region affected. The British Board of Film Classification, commonly known by its abbreviation, ‘BBFC’, is a non-profit regulatory organisation in the United Kingdom, setup in 1912 as an independent body to bring a degree of uniformity to the classification of film nationally, and test their suitability for viewing in the home. The BBFC is the regulatory body for films produced and distributed in the UK. They examine “issues such as discrimination, drugs, horror, imitable behaviour, language, nudity, sex, sexual...

...“When I first met my boyfriend” When I first met my boyfriend “it was love at first sight” It was a breezy day in October. I was attending this vocational school in Gainesville, Florida. I was sitting at my desk completing this assignment my instructor had assigned to me. I could not help but to see his beautiful smile from way across the classroom. His appearance was very noticeable as well. My boyfriend came over to where I was sitting and introduce his self and told me his name and I told him mines. Then he started a conversation about this prelaw class we was in. He was asking me why I took this prelaw class and I told him I was very interested in law and I wanted to make it a career in the future. Then he told me I must be a brave woman to get into such dangerous career. After talking to him about my career he started telling me a little about his career and it was similar to mines. The bell rung and class was over for the day he shook my hand and left. First, the next day he came in class smiling normally he would sit across the classroom from me but this particular day he came and sat in the seat right next to me.

...MARKETING IN MOVIE TICKETS” “A black market is a market in goods or services which operates outside the formal one(s) supported by established state power” - Wikipedia. “A black market is an illegal free market which flourishes in economies where consumer goods are scarce or are heavily taxed. In the first kind, black market prices are higher than the 'official' or controlled prices. In the second kind, prices are lower than the 'legitimate' or taxed prices, due to tax evasion. Black market and black money go hand in hand” - Business Dictionary. Black markets are essentially channels of buying and selling which are not sanctioned by governments. Black Markets for Movie tickets in the 1990’s and early 2000’s and the pricing of movie tickets In the 1990’s and early 2000’, a flourishing black market for movie tickets existed. Movie goers could go to a theatre just before the movie and buy tickets for 3 - 4 times the price of the ticket. Quite a few reasons created the need for such a market. In the time period discussed, the only method to purchase movie tickets was off the ticket sales counter. This enabled touts to form a nexus with the ticket salesmen and purchase the tickets in bulk, which they later sold at a premium. Another reason was that movie hall owners themselves who encouraged this activity for a share in the profits. While the above reasons are valid, they are secondary to the main reason which will be discussed below. Black Markets for Movie tickets in...

Things have to be pretty grim, if you can’t afford buttons. But despite the lack variety of styles available, the 30’s did introduce some new hemlines fashions. Mid calf for daywear and long for evening. Hey, they had to amuse themselves somehow. Movies were a big thing in the 30’s, the perfect way to dream away your woes. So of course, they influenced fashion with movie star endorsements of styles and accessories especially with evening wear. Which of course, most people couldn't afford... othes that were affordable, lasted a long time, and that didn’t go out of style every season and the fashion industry had to accommodate.A popular movie star look was the empire-waisted gown with ties at the back.
