...What stylistic features make Flow My Tears a piece of Renaissance music? Composed in 1596, Flow My Tears is a ‘Lute song’ - a style that emerged during the Renaissance period - typically consisting of a voice (a counter tenor or alto in this case) accompanied by a lute. It could also be accompanied by more than one instrument in what was known as a ‘mixed’ or ‘broken’ consort. This performance uses a bass viol. This can be seen as reminiscent of the development of the bass line in defining the harmonic structure of music that was occurring at the time (assuming even greater significance during the baroque era). The texture is melody and accompaniment, however often with enough separate movement in the parts to be contrapuntal. An example of this is a four-part chord in the lute part which creates five parts with the voice in Bar 1 and playing six notes in Bar 16. This is indicative of the period because much of Renaissance music (including Lute songs) employed both homophony and counterpoint. Counterpoint itself developed strongly throughout the Renaissance and Baroque era, featuring heavily in the works of well known composers of the time such as Orlando Gibbons and William Byrd. The tripartite structure of the song relates to the structure of the stanzas - verses 1 and 2 are sung to the same notes whereas verses 3 and 4 are sung to a different melody as is the 5th verse. Whilst the structure itself is not greatly indicative of the period, the through-composed nature...

...longtime girlfriend’s house and we see that they hugging to each other and talking to each other in a romantic manner. In these scenes, their conversations it seems to me like improvisation because their gestures and forms of longing each other were very natural. In the later scenes, we see that Dan is trying to find a job in order to go back his normal life. Firstly, he makes job interview with car wash and repair company and the conversation which Dan made with boss of the that company also impressive because that scene ideally describe the man who just out of jail has difficulty in order to find a job and how he is trying to prove himself even so he does not want to do that job from inside. Another point about that scene is that although music was used in the majority of the film, in...

...complete. Each feature intern will produce four complete feature stories of approximately 500 words by the end of one month, plus a second, revised version of one of those stories (edited by a partner). During the Feature Writing 101 Workshop, interns will prepare four feature story ideas that they would like to pursue over the course of the evaluation. The ideas should include these four types of stories: a reportage, a profile/interview, a how-to story and a trend story. Your final paper will be a complete revision of one of these pieces. Feature 1: Reportage Go to a specific event and write a 500-word reportage based on your reporting and research. Interview and quote at least two sources for the story and include their contact information on a separate sheet. Feature 2: Profile/interview Identify someone you think is important and interesting—a professor, a businessperson, a community leader, etc…—and write a 500-word profile of that person. Your feature should include quotes based on your interview with the person plus biographical and professional background as well as an exploration and analysis of why this person is important and interesting. Feature 3: How-to story Identify an interesting process you’d like to share to the public—how to survive an earthquake, how to enjoy the rainy season, how to prevent hair-loss, etc…—and write a 500 to 800-word story about that process. Your feature should include factual basis on every step in the process. Your feature must also...

...the most important characters (hero, villain, love interest); 3); what is the setting of the film (time and place); 4) the genre; and finally, 5) what sort of film language characterizes the film? We look at all these elements and begin to put them into context. Based on their environment, how they look, what they say and what we see them do, we make assumptions about the characters, their roles in the film and their relationship to each other. We also recognize so-called genre markers (things we associate with one particular genre) which tell us if we are watching a Western or a Sc-Fi film and, thus, form specific expectations about what is going to happen during the rest of the film. At the same time, we listen to the sounds and the music of the film and establish its general mood. Without realizing it, we have actually begun to decode the film language; to create meaning from the films audio-visual elements: the images we see and the sounds we hear. What we often do not realize, however, is that these audio-visual elements are never chosen randomly. From the first until the last moment of a film, the filmmakers define and...

...real and more authentic. A classic case in point was the Body Shop chain of cosmetic shops, which did not promise to reverse ageing or get rid of wrinkles but instead offered natural, authentic products and showed concern for the environment at the same time. innocent Ltd is a company in that mould. It has built a very successful business in the smoothie market by offering quality, fresh products and by behaving in an openly ethical manner. Its success has spawned a host of competitors and it now faces several challenges to its dominance of the sector. Company background innocent was founded in 1998 by three college friends—Richard Reed, Adam Balon and Jon Wright. In the summer of that year, the trio set up a stall at a small music festival in London. They started with £500 of fresh fruit and set up two bins, one with a ‘yes’ sign and the other with a ‘no’ sign. They also had another sign that asked customers ‘Should we give up our jobs to make these drinks?’ By the end of the festival, the ‘yes’ bin was overflowing and innocent Ltd was born. The vision of its founders, in the words of Richard Reed, was to be ‘Europe’s favourite little juice company’, and innocent set about making products that contained 100 per cent pure, fresh ingredients with no additives. The unconventional approach that has characterized its development was illustrated through the use of both a lower-case ‘i’ rather than a capital letter ‘I’ in its name and its claim on its packaging...

...commonly referred to as “gangster walking”, while classical musician Yo-Yo Ma accompanies him on the cello. The performance cannot be compared to anything else – the blend of street dancing and classical music is truly a unique combination. It’s a combination that we don’t see in everyday life, a distortion of reality – which is most likely why Jonze was drawn to the idea. From his early days as a music video director and all throughout his career, Spike Jonze has had a penchant for escaping the confines of reality. From one of his earliest music videos, which plays in reverse, to films like Being John Malkovich and Where the Wild Things Are, in which he literally brings the viewer in to a new reality. This distortion of reality is a mirror of Spike’s obsession with straying from convention, in narrative and filmmaking technique. While Spike and his characters may seek to escape the confines of reality, what they are really seeking under the surface is acceptance. Spike’s work reveals a common human tension – the desire to be unique, yet also accepted. One reoccurring theme that reverberates through much of Jonze’s work is the idea of a distorted reality. Jonze has proven to be a master of manipulating the techniques of filmmaking to create this effect. During his time as a music video director, Jonze directed a...

...‘Masters’ in AKΩ. He encourages the brotherhood to stay and if they argue he calls them a ‘simplidor’, he reasons that they’ve gone through many things together and to quit will just make the time they’ve spent useless. And so the show must go on, clad in their black stockings they dance the cabaret to a German song, Hitler’s insignia behind them, it is a show of brotherhood but amidst the fun, there are dangers ahead. A rival fraternity wants a fight and the AKΩ masters agree to it, the night ends with some of the members dead but the their brotherhood grows closer. The wait has been harsh and unforgiving but the 5 left of the neophytes finally become the masters they wished to be and the AKΩ brotherhood sings to their success. Batch ’81 is a feature length film directed & written by Mike De Leon with Clodualdo Del Mundo Jr. and Raquel N. Villavicencio. The film reflects the reality and metaphors of living under the horrors of that time. Conformity, freedom, loyalty, identity and tyranny are seen throughout the narrative style of presenting the story. Mark Gil as Sid Lucero is remarkable and brings the hardness and tenacity of a man who wants to succeed but does not see how it sacrifices his individuality in the process, the rest of the cast, such as Noel Trinidad who creates the...

...arts scene has moved into the colorful Mission and the ethnic community of Japantown. Check out classic films in beautiful picture palaces, world cinema and funky film festivals playing once-in-a-lifetime festival films. PARAGRAPHS Old-school cinemas In the 1920s, when silent movies played in ornate, single-screen "picture palaces," San Francisco was buzzing with picture houses. Today, you can see some of the older style of cinema glam at the Castro Theatre, a revival house where the bright neon lights of the marquee shine down on the vibrant Castro district, known city-wide for its progressive Queer politics and expressive residents. Check out double features of classic Hollywood films, arthouse movies and quirky independent film festivals, all part of the Castro's eclectic lineup of one-night-only shows. Live organ music helps put cinema-goers in the mood before the show. In the neighboring Mission District, the Roxie Theatre has a similar vibe in an even older theatre. San Francisco's oldest cinema has been in operation continually since 1909, which is a pretty amazing feat in itself. Today, it still screens new releases (usually independents, documentaries and European films) and sponsors film festivals, workshops and special events with filmmakers. Visiting artists can submit a short film as part of the cinema's monthly "mixtape" screenings, or attend a festival or talk to broaden your knowledge of filmmaking.
