...oid corp ■ Polaroid Corporation Companies venturing into nonindustrialized nations often face a natural contradiction between their own goals and those of the host country. The foreign company wants an adequate return on investment and to create returns for the shareholder. The host country usually wants long-term capital investments that bring in foreign technology, create jobs based on significant value-added production and exports, and train management and workers. Polaroid's fundamental strategy in China is the same as it has been for the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and India: to tie the company's goals into the needs of these countries. Polaroid has reconciled the natural differences by focusing on points of mutual advantage, namely manufacturing for export, provided there is a demand for export goods. Like other firms, Polaroid has developed its commitment to China in stages as benchmark goals were met. It began by selling, moved to subcontracting component assembly, and when comfortable with its partner, started discussions on a joint venture. This case study focuses on the evolution of the venture and describes an important component of dealing with the domestic market-sales and marketing. This description originally appeared in Business China (July 29 and August 12, 199 1) and is adapted here with permission of the publisher, Business International Asia/Pacific Ltd. Polaroid has been selling directly into the China market since the early...

...YourLastName Instructor's Name Course Title 29 April 2013 €œ5 Broken Cameras" Guy Davidi (2011)5 Broken Cameras INTRODUCTION 5 Broken Cameras is a documentary film that premiered in the year 2011. Co-directed by a Palestine Emad Burnat and an Israeli Guy Davidi, the movie generally explains the happenings of the protests of a certain Westbank village which was directly affected by the Israeli Westbank barrier. This documentary was shot by a single person, Emat Burnat. Emat Burnat, a farmer, had bought his very first camera in the year 2005 in order to record the birth of his fourth born son Gibreel (Guy Davidi 2011). However, in 2009, Guy Davidi joined Burnat and they both began co-creating the documentary film. The plot of the movie revolves around the violent destruction of Mr Burnat’s five cameras and 5 years of extreme village tumult that a family faced. In 2009, Mr Burnat was approached by Greenhouse, a film development, with the sole aim of producing a documentary film. However, the project would only involve non violent movements as opposed to screening the whole truth. This made the deal go sour as an agreement between the two could not be reached. Burnat then later on in the year approached Davidi with whom they struck a deal. Davidi decided that Burnat would be the protagonist in the movie narrating the whole story infront of a cameraman. Davidi also passed out instructions that Burnat’s camera be used and some clips and footage of his home and family were included...

...in-vehicle cameras helps the police track down errant drivers. More videos of traffic violations recorded with these cameras are handed to the Traffic Police, as these original videos can be summited as evidence. The Traffic Police also started tracking the number of such videos last year, and noticed a higher frequency in submissions with 1,000 clips last year. Mr Derek Teo, executive director of the general Association of Singapore felt that the presence of these cameras would create a sense of responsibility among motorists, who know there are more eyes watching them. An example of such cases would be the arrest of Quek Zhen Hao last month. Quek Zhen Hao was branded a “road bully” by netizens after two videos showing him driving recklessly went viral. Thanks to the videos, the police arrested the 24-year-old and investigations are still going out. In regards to this trend, the Traffic Police remains supportive, and encourages citizens to submit video evidences. I feel that social media, being an efficient platform, is the main reason behind this trend. With a click, everyone in the world has access to what you posted in an instant. In recent 2 years, there have been many videos taken by in-car vehicles circulating online, drawing in public’s attention. For example, a video taken by an in-vehicle camera of the crash between Ferrari and Taxi instantly went viral online within hours last year, and the news drew in overwhelming attention. If the in-vehicle camera did not capture...

...BUSINESS PLAN JASSIM AL MALKI Al Malki Photo Studio As Sumhan, Barka, South Batinah Tel. No.: Fax No.: E-mail address: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Families need photographs to capture the special moments of their lives. Families of professionals are busy, and if too much time goes by between photos, these moments are lost forever. Babies, especially, grow fast and parents need photos of them several times a year. While nearly everyone has a camera for snapshots, people need professional quality photos when they will be shown to an important audience, and when people want to be seen in the best light. The Internet has expanded the use of photos, making it possible for anyone to send them or to publish them for wide viewing. Professionals often have business needs for high-quality photos, and through this familiarity, they acquire a taste for them. When these professionals need photos to preserve memories, or to display family photos when they entertain at home, they have the budget and the desire for similarly high-quality photos. Just as they appoint their homes with fine furniture and decorations, the photos on their walls need to exhibit their standards of quality. Most people use professional photo studios only on rare occasions, such as weddings, yearbook pictures, or baby portraits. Because the client has to initiate the call, many special moments are lost and the studio loses potential business. Photo studios generally charge a large fee for CDs of their clients'...

...Inside Look: Given Imaging’s Camera Pill The factors which makes Iddan, an engineer with no medical background, to pioneer the development of wireless endoscopy are he as an electo-optical engineer and was working on developing the “eye” of guided missile to its target. His friend at boston gave him information about technology used for viewing the interior lining of the digestive system which had lots of limitations, specially with viewing the small intestine. This small intestine causes serious disorders and only in United States approximately 19 million people suffer from disorders. Existing technology like X-ray and endo-scopes were unable to identify or investigate about small intestine. So the only option left was surgery and which was very crucial if the physician does not know which part of the small intestine is affected. So his friend encourages him to come up with better technology. Due to technology revolution after decade small video cameras which uses image sensors like CCDS (Charge coupled devices) has been developed. With his knowledge from developing the eye of guided missile he tried to make small missile like device which could travel through the intestine without a life line leading to the outside of the body and transmit images wirelessly to a receiver outside of the body. He has also done small experiment on chicken with his developed camera and as he succeeds he got more encouragement but he found battery of that camera get exhausted in few minutes...

...A Thousand Paper Cranes I have always loved taking pictures. When I was little, I used my cheap digital camera to take pictures of anything and everything. I took pictures of my family, my pets my belongings… Anything I had access to, I photographed. The summer before I turned eight was when I actually became interested in professional photography. Every night I dreamt of the fancy props, cameras, lenses and lighting that someday I would use to photograph everyone who was anyone. I’d be famous. I would photograph celebrities, super-models, big figures in politics; I’d be the photographer who everyone would envy… If only I could get that camera. “Mimi, make sure your room is clean!” my mom yelled from the living room. I was sitting on the ground, running my fingers through the pink, plush carpet that covered my bedroom floor. I was daydreaming, which was very typical me. Everywhere around me reporters rush around, trying to get a story. “Mimi! Mimi! How did the photo shoot go with the presidential family yesterday?”“Mimi! Mimi! Do you ever plan on helping other photographers follow in your steps?” “Mimi! Is your room clean? We need to run errands!” my mom yelled again, quickly jolting me back to reality. I rushed to throw the papers and pencils back in my laptop bag, and then I turned my computer off and grabbed my wallet. I ran into the living room and careened around the corner, just stopping short of the dividing wall. “I called your name four times. Why didn’t you answer...

...Demetria Brown COM 2010: Intro to Film Term Paper Assignment Spike Lee’s: “Do the Right Thing” Film Analysis: Do the Right Thing Spike Lee's 1989 film, Do the Right Thing is able to effectively explore the problem of racial conflict in America by skillfully manipulating cinematic devices such as staging, narrative, cinematography, editing and sound. The concentration and emphasis on characters' certain physical attributes with the use of photography and camera framing, the fast-pace editing style and manipulation of sound all contribute to film's overall meaning. In analyzing the short sequence beginning with a small girl drawing a chalk painting on the road and ending with Sal, the local pizzeria owner, making Radio Raheem, "a hulking misunderstood home-boy" , two slices of pizza, these devices are seen to illustrate the hostility between Black and Italian working class Americans. The narrative style in this double scene sequence encapsulates the major oppositions at work in the film, which is racial acceptance and alienation. This can be seen in the juxtaposition of two scenes that show Radio Raheem's acceptance of his Black friend Mookie and his rejection and disdain of the White Italian pizzeria owners. The story is told within the course of one day and scenes follow each other sequentially. This particular sequence begins with Mookie treading over the young girl's drawing of a harmonious scene with the sun shining and people smiling, implying to the viewer...

...127 Hours by Danny Boyle, is a moving and truly inspirational movie based on the true events that happened to Aron Ralston on the date of April the 25th 2003. The film takes place in the Utah Desert where Aron Ralston (James Franco) an expert canyoner, descends down BlueJohn Canyon when a dislodged boulder falls on his right arm, trapping his fore-arm between the wall of the canyon and the 800lb boulder. Carrying only a small backpack containing a blunt knife from his cheap multitool kit, 2 burritos, a litre of water and a video camera which he records his final good byes to his mum and dad. After 127 hours of being immobilised and unable to move, Ralston realised how to save his own life when he embraced his inner animal, by dislocating and breaking the ulna and the radius in his fore-arm. After the breaking of his arm, Ralston took a cheap penknife to his arm tearing away at the flesh and digging deep into the muscles and tendons until his arm was free from the rest of his body. I admired the self-discipline and mental strength that Aron Ralston displayed when trapped in Bluejohn Canyon, when he evaluated his core beliefs, replaced negative thoughts with productive thoughts, suffered through excruciating pain and reflected on his progress daily. However our main protagonist also made a stupid mistake by not telling anyone where he was going, ’’Yeah, that's right. Eh... Hey, Mom. I'm really sorry I didn't answer the phone the other night. If I had, I would have told you where...

...our culture, education and economy, forcing and scaring the people who decided to trust into a different opinion against the government, those ones will be recognized as “Traitors” and “Enemies of the nation” at least that was the way they used to call them. The visual arts means to me as a way to escape from reality and open our minds to others, to make them understand that there’s a another world outside complete different as the one who we live in now. At the age of seven, my father took me into a Father-son trip to the beach, where he gave me my first camera, an Instant water proof Kodak, one of the most beautiful gifts that i’m still appreciating from hem. Since then I have been feeling a passion for the Films and Photography a passion who becomes an intuitive path that guides me through life. For me films are about romance, adventures, tears, laughs and smiles, more than recording with a video camera, doing a film involves feelings, inspiration, originality, pushing the boundaries and making us to be able to distinguish ourselves from one another. Every mind is a different world, this life is a gift, no matter how pain full it seems to be, we need to be ready to take a risk, to grow and recognized that everyone has reason to live. I’m taking now the risk, I’m growing up and I’m recognizing my reason to...

...one for the Entry-level cameras and the second for the Multi-featured cameras, hence a mixed strategy. For the Entry-level camera we applied the Best-cost provider or the Hybrid strategy as we provided a low cost yet unique product as it offered high value and quality. The goal behind this strategy was to increase profitability and outcompete our rivals through increased market share. While for the Multi-featured cameras we implemented a focused differentiation strategy, as we decided to provide a unique product with a high price, to achieve a very high PQ rating. We chose this strategy because we found a gap in the Multi-featured camera market, as there was no other company producing a high quality camera at a premium price. Both of these strategic directions were driven by the responsiveness of the competitive market. For both types of our cameras we tried to find a gap in the market and take advantage of it. Therefore, we chose the hybrid strategy for the Entry-level camera and the focused differentiation strategy for the Multi-featured camera. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW: PESTEL Political Since we operate in four major geographical areas (North America, Europe-Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America) we are likely to be influenced by differing political policies, such as: government stability, type of government, import duties and taxation policy. Import duties initially averaged $5 for entry level cameras and 10$ for multi featured cameras. Nevertheless, operating...

Figure 2 – High Speed Photography, Bullet shot through an apple 1 Module 1: Digital Photography Critical Analysis Photography has changed a lot since its inception, what once was a painstakingly slow process involving specialized equipment and chemicals has become a revolutionary digital medium accessible by virtually anyone. 2. A Brief History of Cameras While the founding ideas behind what would become photography date back as far as the ancient Romans, the real history of cameras starts in the 17th century. Photography’s history revolves the pioneering attempts to reproduce images, regardless of the success or failure of these early photographic attempts. The first relevant device to appear in the history of photography is a device known as a Camera Obscura. The Camera Obscura consisted of a box that had a tiny hole at one end. An inverted image and enlarged version of what the small hole was viewing would...

...The men and women who survived a deadly virus that wiped out much of earth's human population hunker down amidst the ruins of San Francisco; meanwhile, a growing ape population has built a lovely and thriving community outside of San Francisco in Muir Woods. The tension between the two societies drives the action-packed Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, the sequel to the 2011 Rise of the Planet the Apes that starred James Franco. As this sequel begins, Franco's character has been dead for a decade, and the apes have had plenty of time to create their version of civilization. But in real time, it's been just three years since the Rise movie. In the world of motion picture technology, though, that's an eternity. Long enough to create computer graphics gear robust enough to take out of the studio and deep into a real forest. And long enough that moviemakers no longer need to give a recognizable Hollywood star top billing to bring in audiences. In fact, if you passed the leading man of Dawn—Andy Serkis—on the street, you wouldn't recognize his face at all, for you never see it on the screen. That's because his performance in the woods (actually, forests near Vancouver, not San Francisco) wasn't fillmed traditionally, it was motion captured, and used as a framework for a computer-created realistic digital ape, Caesar. And, for the first time in my knowledge, it's the performances of the motion capture actors, not the regular actors portraying humans, that are getting all the good reviews...
