...Producer was Arnold Messer. The movie starts out with wording and music, similar to Star Wars, giving the prologue of the movie. I feel that the Director’s vision is that he is trying to warn us about what the future is capable of happening, if we put “brains” in computers. In this thesis I will be telling you about the movie so you will be able to understand what is happening. I will also be telling you who is in the movie and what their roles are, the style and directing of the movie. I will also Critique the film regarding the flaws that was done, the editing to the style and the acting. The Original music was done by BT. Music plays throughout the movie; the colors are neutral at the beginning of the movie with certain key items showing full color, in one scene a United States flag is flying on a building. Dean Semler does the Cinematography’s work. His work includes Secretariat (2010) and Mad Max: Fury Road (pre-production) (2012). Stephen Rivhin did the film editing. His most recent work was Avatar (2009), Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (2007) and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (2006). Making a movie is a genuinely collaborative effort. Large films employ literally hundreds of people who work together to create the finished product. Yet as with any endeavor that enlists the labor of so many people, there must be one person with the power and the overall vision to make sure that all the pieces come together as they should (Goodykoontz...

...An artistic movement whose influence on film has been as profound and enduring as that of surrealism or cubism on painting, the French New Wave (or Le Nouvelle Vague) made its first splashes as a movement shot through with youthful exuberance and a brisk reinvigoration of the filmmaking process. Most agree that the French New Wave was at its peak between 1958 and 1964, but it continued to ripple on afterwards, with many of the tendencies and styles introduced by the movement still in practice today… French New Wave The New Wave (French: La Nouvelle Vague) was a blanket term coined by critics for a group of French filmmakers of the late 1950s and 1960s, influenced by Italian Neorealism and classical Hollywood cinema. Although never a formally organized movement, the New Wave filmmakers were linked by their self-conscious rejection of classical cinematic form and their spirit of youthful iconoclasm. "New Wave" is an example of European art cinema. Many also engaged in their work with the social and political upheavals of the era, making their radical experiments with editing, visual style and narrative part of a general break with the conservative paradigm. Using portable equipment and requiring little or no set up time, the New Wave way of filmmaking presented a documentary type style. The films exhibited direct sounds on film stock that required less light. Filming techniques included fragmented, discontinuous editing, and long takes. The combination of objective realism...

It is like a homework task that a good advertising/marketing/sales person would always carry out before (and after) implementing the said product's advertising/marketing strategy. By collecting data with the help of research methods, the researcher can manage to understand the consumer, what he wants, when he wants it, and how he wants it. Research methodologies, more or less, aim to reveal consumers’ different perceptions of the product, in large part about the way it is advertised. The researcher wants to know how effective the advertisement is on his listeners, where the strategy falls short, and where it can improve. Ultimately, it can be said that the most important task of advertising/marketing research is to increase the sales of the product. This requires a well developed...

...Elements of Guerrilla Marketing According to Drew Neisser, CEO of Renegade Marketing, guerrilla marketing “…is a state of mind. It simply isn’t guerrilla if it isn’t newsworthy”. Brett Zaccardi of Street Attack Media said it is “unauthorized and disruptive, and sticky”. I think these 2 quotes can really instill what the elements of guerrilla marketing really are. It is more than a simple marketing plan; instead GM is unconventional with creative marketing techniques that pinpoint on a specific niche market and uses the power of publicity to spread like wildfire. Guerrilla marketing is more than just a simple commercial or an advertisement, they are unique campaigns that don’t just sell the products, but they are entertaining and unique. From my research the elements that I have found that make guerrilla marketing successful are unique/disruptive, brand building, and they leave a lasting impression. Unique/Disruptive Simply by definition guerrilla tactics are fundamentally different than traditional marketing messages. Therefore guerrilla marketing has the ability to stand out from the endless barrage of marketing that we as consumers see everyday. The company’s capacity to do something cheap and simple that can catch people’s attention can be way more effective than to fund an expensive media campaign that most people just ignore. A great example is instead of just putting a car insurance ad on a billboard a company could make the billboard stand out by having two cars crash...

...Athletic HISTORY The first modern-style indoor athletics meetings were recorded shortly after in the 1860s, including a meet at Ashburnham Hall in London which featured four running events and a triple jump competition. The Amateur Athletic Association (AAA) was established in England in 1880 as the first national body for the sport of athletics and began holding its own annual athletics competition – the AAA Championships. The United States also began holding an annual national competition – the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships – first held in 1876 by the New York Athletic Club.[14] Athletics became codified and standardized via the English AAA and other general sports organisations in the late 19th century, such as the Amateur Athletic Union (founded in the US in 1888) and the Union des sociétésfrançaises de sports athlétiques (founded in France in 1889). An athletics competition was included in the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 and it has been as one of the foremost competitions at the quadrennial multi-sport event ever since. Originally for men only, the 1928 Olympics saw the introduction of women's events in the athletics programme. Athletics is part of the Paralympic Games since the inaugural Games in 1960. Athletics has a very high profile during major championships, especially the Olympics, but otherwise is less popular. An international governing body, the International Amateur Athletics Federation (IAAF), was founded in 1912; it adopted its current...

...9-508-076 REV: APRIL 14, 2008 ELIE OFEK Sony PlayStation 3: Game Over? [W]hen you look at the history of the video game industry since the PlayStation was launched back in 1995, we were able to take the leadership position very quickly with the PlayStation. With PlayStation 2 we have more than 110 million gamers and consumers enjoying the PlayStation 2 on a worldwide basis. And I think we have a very loyal following for the PlayStation family of products. So with the PlayStation 3, I believe that we are going to be able to quickly take the leadership position once again and maintain that position for a very long time. — Kaz Hirai, President and CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment of America, November 17 20061 It was a picture that was reminiscent of the launch of the original PlayStation nearly a dozen years before. Some eager customers had arrived as early as 6am and from as far as New Jersey to a video game store in Manhattan with the hope of purchasing one of the newest and most sought after video game consoles. By 9am, the number of customers waiting for entrance to the store exceeded 100 and the line extended down the block. One customer in line had been searching stores across the region for two weeks in order to find a console for her brother’s twenty-fifth birthday. A twelve-year-old and his grandmother were visiting their third store in search of the new console. “I just hate what you have to do just to get one,” the boy said.2 In one sense, long...

...Book of Five Rings by Musashi Miyamoto Swordplay as Philosophy by Scot Conway As an interesting historical aside, my mother’s maiden name was Arakawa. Her mother’s maiden name was Fujiwara. Musashi Miyamoto was a member of the noble family of Fujiwara, a family was one of the most powerful noble families as long as a thousand years ago. Musashi Miyamoto apparently did not have any children, so there is no chance that my grandmother was a descendant, but it is at least an interesting historical curiosity to Guardian Martial Artists that there may be some hugely distant relationship between Musashi Miyamoto (whom all should remember was born in 1584 - so it was a very long time ago) and the founder of their style. TRANSLATOR’S INTRODUCTION Musashi killed his first opponent at age 13, and another at 16. He became known as the invincible swordsman, and he is regarded to this day as the greatest, or at the very least one of the greatest, swordsmen Japan has ever produced. He wrote the Book of Five Rings late in life after studying swordplay for most of his life. Musashi said “When you have attained the Way of Strategy, there will not be one thing you cannot understand.” and “You will see The Way in everything.” The Guardian ideal here is that we find something in which principles are contained, such as martial arts, and we study in great depth until we begin to fully and deeply understand those principles. It can take decades to achieve the magnitude of insight that allows one...

...Understanding the Gift of Consciousness 2008 Timothy Lynch COMP 111 5/14/2008 The brain is the most complex and most fundamental of all the human organs. It is the essence of life. It is the vehicle through which man perceives reality, experiences, interprets his body’s sensory information, and coordinates all communication through billions of neural connections to various organs and systems, regulating and maintaining homeostasis (processes for maintaining internal stability). One’s experiences of life, their acquired skills, and the lessons learned are contained within a brain’s wrinkled, corrugated, and almost alien structures as memories. Two main categories of memory exist independently and simultaneously, short-term and long-term. Short-term, also known as working memory, is the mind’s way of temporarily storing any relevant information and task-specific data. There are at least two varieties of Short-term memory. One of the memory types is called by the name ‘phonological loop.’ This is how your brain stores linguistically encoded information for short periods of time (only seconds). The other is the visuospatial sketchpad, the mind’s way of maintaining, its visuospatial relationship(s) for the same short time as the phonological loop.(Foster, 972). The alternative memory format is Long-term or, declarative memory. The three inherent and pre-determined protocols the brain uses to remain functioning to translate a person’s experiences as this...

...CR TOPIC-WISE EXERCISES (700-800 LEVEL) 1 The 700-800 Club Critical Reasoning Critical Reasoning Topic 1: CONCLUSION 1. • • • • • 2. In the United States, about $5,200 per person per year is spent on health care, while in Britain the amount is about half that. A recent study indicated that middle-aged white Americans have a significantly higher rate of diabetes and heart disease than do middle-aged white Britons. Even after eliminating from the study the lifestyle differences of diet, exercise, smoking, and drinking, the data showed that the Americans have poorer health than their British counterparts. The statements above, if true, best support which of the following assertions? Health care spending in the United States should be reduced by 50%. More expensive health care causes a higher incidence of certain diseases. The money spent on health care in the United States is not being used effectively. The average health care spending for middle-aged white Americans is probably less than the average health care spending for Americans in general. Something other than diet, exercise, smoking, and drinking must account for the difference in health for the two groups in the study. Spokesperson: In the 2006 election of the city mayor, 55% of the voters were female. All the voters were between ages 18 and 70 and 2/3 of them supported the incumbent mayor. The incumbent mayor won the election with a substantially greater number of votes than any other...

...Season 1 Episode 1 Sex and the city aired "Once upon a time an English journalist came to New York. Elizabeth was attractive and bright, and right away she hooked up with one of the city's eligible bachelors. The question remains, is this a company we want to own? Tim was 42. A well-liked and respected banker, who made about two million a year. They met one evening, in typical New York fashion, at a gallery opening. Like it? Yes, actually I think it's quite interesting. What? I feel like I know you. Oh, doubtful. I just moved here from London. Really? That's my favorite city. It is? Absolutely. It was love at first sight. You know, I think perhaps I have met you somewhere before. For two weeks they snuggled... went to romantic restaurants... had wonderful sex... and shared the most intimate secrets. One day, he took her to a house he saw in the New York Times. How about if we start at the top? There are four bedrooms upstairs. Do you have any children? Not yet. That day Tim popped the question. Would you like to meet my folks Tues-day night? I'd love to. On Tuesday he called with some bad news. My mother's not feeling very well. Oh, gosh, I'm sorry. Can we take a rain check? Of course. Tell your mum I hope she feels better. When she hadn't heard from him for two weeks, she called. Tim, it's Elizabeth. That's an awfully long rain check. He said he was up to his ears and that he'd call the next day. He never did call... Bastard. She told me one day over coffee. I don't understand...
