W04 Essay Perceive the Elements of a Film (Aristotle's elements)

W04 Essay Perceive the Elements of a Film (Aristotle's elements)

 

Plot: What can you say about the plot in this little excerpt?

A lonely man who probably didn’t have friends living in a castle protected by a camera and surrounded by fences with a sign “No Trespassing.” Before his sudden death, he whispered a name or word “Rosebud” then dropped the snow globe that rolled down the steps. Then comes a lady to fix his body on the bed and cover him.

  .

Character: Describe what you know of the main character.

The main knowledge I have about this man is that he was an unhappy wealthy citizen of Kane. Unhappiness and regrets of being alone probably caused his sudden death.

 

Thought: What thoughts is the filmmaker trying to convey?

 

My personal assumption as based on this clip is to avoid the life of isolation which brings depression and sudden life. In short, no matter how much richer a person can be, isolation is not a good option.

 

Diction: There is only one-word spoken-how would you describe the diction of that word?

The only spoken word “Rosebud” can really tell that something was bordering him. The diction of this word is much more important to him than us because it was his last word. The word has some mystery beyond our comprehension.

 

Music: What does the music sound like, and how is it used?

It starts with a radio noise that sounds like a call to listeners/viewers to pay attention. As the music continues with a bit of the sound of radio without a word, a train sound is followed by a sad and a moment of reverence sound while watching the castle and the dead man. Because of the dissonant tone, the music brings tension to keep the viewers awake while watching.

 

Spectacle: What techniques of spectacle, or cinematography, are used?

To add to the feelings of this story, the camera is filmed from a close-up angle to capture the details by offering a visualization of the fence perimeter from the bottom up adding more feelings of mystery.

Banyingela Home and Family Department, BYU-Idaho FAML 160: Family Relations Ryanne Burnett March 27 th , 2022  ------------------- ------------ ------------------  Page 1 ------------------- ------------ ------------------ Abstract Throughout this week, I have learned that parenting is a skill that is mostly disregarded as a full-time job but in reality forms a core responsibility of parents. Parents need to trust their kids, lead with example, and create a very good & forgiving environment. As part of my study from Marriage and Family: The Quest for Intimacy and other readings, I have received knowledge about the four Parenting Styles: Authoritarian, Authoritative, Permissive, and Uninvolved. I will use two experiences I have had with parents in order to address some of the parenting styles.             Keywords: a utocratic parenting, active parenting, missed opport...

2b Design: A creative social business in Lebanon

2b Design: A creative social business in Lebanon Introduction After accumulating enough managerial experience as an entrepreneur, Raja Moubarak and his wife Benedicte de Blavous moved to Lebanon in 2003 and three years later decided to create a social business named 2b Design which specialized in transforming architectural salvage into works of art. 2b Design has a clear mission: “restoring the unseen beauty of the broken” which will focus on maintaining disappearing artwork, buildings, and tradition through artistic creations and employing marginalized individuals especially the unemployable along with the disabled. This mission is accomplished by gathering and utilizing wrought iron, decorative wood, and other elements found in scrapyards and old Lebanese homes thus preserving a heritage that was ever more in danger of disappearing while touching and improving the lives of the broken (people whose socio-economic status or disabilities hindered them from leading a decent life). ...

Fabrice Tshiyoyi Banyingela Professor Brittany James BUS 374 Social Innovation 21 July 2021 Reflection: Final It was a beautiful decision to embark on this journey and learn some of the important concepts of Social Innovation. The coursework was a mix of watching video tutorials about successful entrepreneurs and reading articles, case studies, and more interestingly an inspired book “How to change the world.” I feel empowered as an aspiring entrepreneur to create real solutions for real people. The most interesting and exciting part of my course was the understanding of Hybrids and Social Businesses.

By understanding the nature of a business and its ethics in order to solve a social issue, this course has awakened my entrepreneurship desire as a calling ...
