...author’s comments do not apply to American Beauty at all. “Showing” Lester’s actions would not create the same mood of suspense as “telling” Lester’s thoughts do. Thus, the voiceovers implemented in American Beauty work in an ironic way because “telling” actually creates mystery among the viewers. During Lester’s initial voiceover, the camera is filming from above with a bird’s eye view, showing a snippet of everyday life in American suburbia. The fact that Lester is narrating the film shows that the story is told through his perspective and that the main events center upon him. Specifically, his voiceover mimics the suburban scenery in the way he describes his life- listing facts about his everyday being while repeating “This is…” over and over again. Lester...

...Facts, fiction and coding When we turn on the TV, we immediately decode what sort of program we are watching. If we watch “Paradise Hotel”, we expect a reality show and everything we associate with the genre. We expect drama, fighting, sex, betrayal and so forth. If we turn on the News, we expect to be fed with factual information about the happenings in the world. If we see a film, we also have certain expectations. When we see a romance film, we expect love. When we see an action film, we expect a fast pace and violence. When we see a horror film, we expect to be scared and so forth. We call these genre expectations. Within the world of media/literature, we deal with two major categories, facts and fiction. Facts tell us something about events and situations, which have already happened; facts therefor have an obligation to reality. Facts involve factual information, which can be subsequently checked for accuracy. However, fiction is made up where neither the people nor the events have root in the real world. Fiction therefore has no obligation to be factually correct and we cannot subsequently check for accuracy. When we watch films, TV programs or read texts, a sort of contract of understanding occurs. The contract is defined as agreements where the sender, in accordance with the receiver, agree on whether the film/text is fact or fiction. To make sure the receiver and sender are in accord, we use fact and fiction coding to decipher/ sort out fact from fiction and...

...on? Do you get side tracked by the hundreds of beautiful women or hulking men? Are you the one who runs over to the food table and eat as much as much as you possibly can and somehow disappear for the remaining of the night? These are just a few of the types of partiers I have encountered over the years. Let’s go into a little further details though. You walk into the biggest party of the year and people are stretched from wall to wall. Out of nowhere, your lab partner from your chemistry class blows through the crowd to get to you. Her mouth is moving a mile a minute. You try to grasp every word she is saying, but the only words you manage to hear are project, due, and soon. You kindly tell her that your not here to talk about school, but to have a good time. You excuse yourself and continue to party, but suddenly this “project” is the only thing on your mind. Congratulations you have successfully met the student of the year. This individual makes their way through any party or gathering and kills whatever “fun” you were trying to have. They often are very persistent and over zealous about the topic of discussion. They tend to only come to one or two parties a year. If you do see them at a party near you, there is only one thing you can do: Avoid at all cost. After you get past the student of the year, you continue on your quest for a great night. You make your way over to the dance floor. It is at the point that you see a man dancing erotically like he had just taken dance...

...Why celebrity voice-overs? Rarely have people in earlier days recognized or acknowledged the importance of voice-over artists. But some iconic voices have gotten through this recognition barriers, be it Don LaFontaine who was simply referenced to as “The Voice” or Hal Douglas. How these voices became iconic is a story that is not as glamorous as that of quintessential celebrities in Hollywood or on the small screen. The recognition in a visual medium is almost instantaneous compared to that through a voice medium. There are three different categories products and services fall into and based on these categories they can opt of different types of voice over artists. One is where the content of the ad and product eclipse the voice over. In this case the voice over artist does not have to be one that brings credibility or recognition with him/her. An example of this category is Apple’s – Think differently commercial. The script and message transcended the voice that delivered it. The voice was significant and needed a certain tone to deliver the message but the tone could be that of an obscure VO artist. The second category of commercials are one that are seldom associated with a celebrity. Be it Jon Hamm endorsing American Airlines or Julia Roberts supporting AOL, these brands used these celebrities as leverage to promote the brand and draw customers to them. This is more prominent in emerging markets where luxury brands are trying to enter. When luxury brand Tag Hueur tried...

GETTING ORIENTED It’s useful to think of a case analysis as digging deeper and deeper into the layers of a case. 1. You start at the surface, Getting Oriented and examining the overall case landscape. 2. Then you begin to dig, Identifying Problems, as well as possible alternative solutions. 3.

Typically, you’ll need to repeat this process multiple times, and as you do, you'll discover new analytical directions, evolving your assessment of the case and conclusion. a. Case Analysis Overview Analyzing a case is not just about digging. It’s also about climbing back out to examine what you’ve unearthed, deciding what it means, determining what to analyze next, and digging some more. Often your examination of information about a problem will change your idea of what the real problem is and about what to analyze next. The process is similar to when a detective investigating a crime shifts his or her opinion about the most likely suspect as more clues come to light. Gather your materials and tools. These include the case and any other related materials to supplement your reading...

...The Lorax A motion film called The Lorax provides a realistic look at how overconsumption has affected the small fictional town of Thneedville. In this town you have big houses, and even bigger cars, plastic trees, air quality so bad that you have to purchase the air you breathe. You soon get a glimpse of what is beyond the “city limits” of Thneedville which is utter destruction. Caused by the overconsumption of people and a man who sought to profit from people in the town. We are a nation of consumers who suffer from a horrible disease known as “Affluenza” the disease of over consumption. And Affluenza has plagued us to the point where children’s movies are being made about over consumption and spending. The lyrics of the opening song of The Lorax could be the theme song of the how Affluenza has plagued people today in America “With brand new cars, and houses and lawns”(Powell & Paul, 2012). This film had many examples from the book we are reading in class. The example of how houses are getting bigger so people can have a place to store more “stuff”. The reason why is because people continue to buy more things that they don’t need. This movie made me think of the main character Ted and once the movie progressed I connected him to John Beal from our reading. For very different reasons they both sought out to save, replenish, and protect the trees. For Ted it was so he could impress the girl he liked which then also stopped a greedy cooperate figure...

...first edge prong is having low overhead. Resources will be concentrated mostly on state of the art recoding music and recording equipment, and voice training programs and trainers. A significant amount would also be allocated to establish connections with established entertainment agencies. Advertising would also be one of our priorities, as we need to advertise our good recording studios and equipment. This would be more cost effective compared to conducting R&D of our own. For office work wise, space and resources allocated will be kept at it’s minimum. Audiobeats will also use our other competitive edge prong by retaining a low talent count. Although we offer “Voice Talent Services”, the other services we provide, namely: “Voice Over recordings”, “Music Recording & Production”, and “Facilities with recording equipment” – all these would require good equipment, studios and environment like for example soundproof studios and walls. To maximize output, scouts can be employed when people come in to use our recording services – on the look out for any potential talents. As Audiobeats is a...

...Tell Me About Yourself" The Toughest Question in the Interview Don Straits, CEO and Dragon Slayer, Corporate Warriors Share This Post When you, as a job seeker, are asked the most common, and toughest, interview question, "Tell me about yourself," your answer can make or break you as a candidate. Usually job seekers will respond with their "30 second commercial," and then elaborate on their background. While almost every career book and career counselor will tell you that is the appropriate response, I totally disagree. Many people fail in their job search because they are too often focused on what they want in a job including industry, type of position, location, income, benefits, and work environment. Their "30 second commercial" is centered around this premise. The commercial describes the job seeker's career history and what they are looking for. Too often, this is in direct contrast to what employers are looking for. There are two dominant reasons why job seekers are successful in the job search. The first is focusing on the needs of the organization. The second is focusing on the needs of the people within that organization. In this article, we are going to examine how to focus on the needs of the people within organizations. This will assist in rethinking your response to that all-important question, "Tell me about yourself." In order to learn how to respond to the needs of the interviewer, let's first learn more about ourselves. We can then apply that knowledge...

...Teens and Drugs Robert Lorenz COM/156 May 13, 2012 Patrick Misiti Teens and Drugs At the age of 12 I picked up a gun and shot and killed my sister’s best friend. I chose many things to try to cover up this pain that was created. I was building a wall around me as I was moving into my teenage years. At this time in my life my mother thought I should start learning about responsibilities, without thinking about what I had just went through. She wanted me to try to keep my brother and sister from doing things that they should not do. With all this placed on my shoulders, my teenage years flew by so fast; I had no time to figure out who I was. In today’s society we all live in a fast pass world, including our children. With this in mind it takes both parents to work to get all the bills paid on time and be able to save for retirement. What this has created is teenagers are held responsible for their younger siblings and left home alone. With this much responsibility, teenagers are growing up to fast and have too much freedom. With this freedom come more problems. Teenagers today are finding ways to deal with these problems and escape from the responsibilities placed on their shoulders. Young people are looking for anything to escape the reality of these responsibilities. Even though street drug use is down, drugs are easy for children and teenagers to get even from their own home. With the problems that teens face today, such as maintaining grades, finals, not...

People feel since they are legal and easy to get, over the counter medications (OTC’s) are safe. When used as directed, OTC’s can be very effective and safe. However, excessive over use and abuse of (OTC’s) can be extremely dangerous and sometimes even deadly. The most oblivious danger of (OTC‘s) is their availability.

Behaviors seen in drug abuse may include consumption of a medication for non-medical reasons, consuming dose amounts greater than directed, consuming excessive dosages or more frequently than directed as well as using a medication for longer periods of time than the label recommends. There are more than 100 million Americans who suffer from some form of chronic pain.
