...Indian Cinema The field of Entertainment has evolved significantly over the years. Earlier pictures didn’t have sounds they just had movements from Actors. These movies were called silent motion pictures. With the invention in technology the movies started talking and were called ‘Talkies’. Soon these movies became popular and were a major source of entertainment. There was a section of people who were apprehensive about the possibility that movies will overshadow the theatre or the art of stage acting. But all these fears proved to be untrue as theatre is still very popular amongst certain section of society. Theatre creates a direct emotional bonding with the audience. Over the decades movies have become a very popular source of entertainment. The medium of Movies has been used as a medium to depict stories and culture of the society. It has been responsible in shaping up the society and getting public co-operation for nation building. The Indian Film industry recently completed its 100 years of existence making it one of the oldest and largest movie industries in the world. The first Indian movie was Raja Harishchandra and it was released in 1913, directed by Dadasaheb Phalke. In that era it was considered derogatory for females to work in movies. In 1930’s a new era was started with the introduction of “studio system”. It’s most successful early film “Devdas” (1935) was the product of the studio system with P.C. Barua as the main lead. Prabhat Film Company, founded by...

...ANNUAL REPORT 2008-09 Good economic circumstances usually make for great team-building. Its an excellent time to assemble the best talent that wants to be part of a profitable whole. With some diligence, its not difficult to get a model act together in terms of a mix of optimal goals and objectives for individuals, the team and the organization; set up systems for open and frequent communication, peer accountability; and create a culture that appreciates and bonds the team for best results. However, even in prosperous times things are never THAT perfect… and exceptional organizations more often than not, tend to get built by less than exceptional teams. And then there are times when the economy is less than booming. The times when businesses have to take tough calls. Are these a good time for building the finest teams? The last year demonstrates resoundingly that these are indeed great times to build excellent teams and very nimble teamwork. Periods when resources aren’t available for the asking, force organizations and teams to roll up their sleeves and develop REAL PEOPLE POWER. These are times when wise organizations leave behind any misguided reluctance to focus on teams and grapple squarely with the realization that without the right teams and work methods, the organization will not effectively identify and implement new ways to survive and thrive. Resource-scarce situations force huge efficiencies. They ensure that much more is achieved with less. Flatter organization...

...American Cinema Unit 2 1. Oligopoly is the exclusive ownership of a industry by several companies acting in concert. Vertical integration is the studios’ control not only of the production of movies but also their distribution and exhibition. The story department consists of workers that are professional readers employed by the studio. They hire these workers to find and develop script ideas out of newspapers, magazine articles, plays, and books. Block booking is the tactic of forcing exhibitors to rent movies in groups rather than separately. Radio-Keith-Orpheum was one of the five major production studios in Hollywood. United States v. Paramount Pictures, Inc., et al. is the Supreme Court decision which ruled that the studio system constituted an oligopoly because it depended on such illegal practices as blind bidding and block booking. Blind bidding is a standard practice in which an exhibitor was forced to rent a movie from a studio without ever having been given the chance to see it or learn anything about it. Minors, was the name given to the three smaller studios in Hollywood during the studio era. 2. A and B are false 3.

...European cinema is more complex than American cinema. The above statement does not entirely reflect the reality. At the level of creative expressions, the relationship between these two continents has always been, to say the very least, a two-way road. The exchanges concerning Hollywood and the international cinema scene are long-standing and deeply rooted. During the formation of classical Hollywood cinema, many of its key architects were in fact European emigrants – Lubitsch, Dieterle, Lang, Hitchcock, Sirk, to name but a few. More recently, many of Hollywood’s finest contemporary directors – Scorsese, Altman, Coppola and others – have often turned to Europe, to the French New Wave, Italian neo-realism and the New German Cinemas for a source of inspiration and influence. In the Bioscope of 8 January 1925, Joseph Schenck, then president of United Artist, commented brutally on British film productions: “You have no personalities to put on the screen. Your stage actors and actresses are no good on the screen. Your effects are no good, and you do not spend nearly so much money.” Similar remarks can be found about almost any European cinema in almost any decade. It is possible to question the aesthetic standards by which such complaints are made. It can be argued that slow rhythms, deliberate staginess, and lack of star presence or of visible production values are positive qualities which European film-makers have exploited in creative ways and which the Hollywood cinema is the poorer...

...In this thrilling mind-boggling film, “The Usual Suspects”, the acting, editing and sound inherent all play an excellent role in creating the mind set for the plot that was aimed to impress and twist the minds of the audience. Acting, in this one of a kind film was excellent, fooling many with a curveball thrown at the end, shocking and leaving viewers jaw dropped. For example, throughout the whole film Kint is being interrogated by Kujan , trying to get Kint to spill the beans and help bust the criminal, but as Kint professionally plays the role of an innocent the end of the film performs a quick twist to Kujan that Kint was not so innocent after all. Editing in this film was at its finest, playing a huge role in piecing the plot together. For example, when Kint is being interrogated flashbacks take place as well as quick transitioning between scenes. These flashbacks, and quick switching of scenes led this film to rely on editing heavily. This film can relate to “Slumdog Millionaire” and “Snatch” quite well in several ways such as involving certain editing techniques and different twists and turns used in the films. All three films come very close to relying on editing an equal amount. “Slumdog Millionaire” and “Snatch” uses both flashbacks as well as quick scene transitioning relating to “The Usual Suspects”, since this film uses both as well. In “Slumdog Millionaire”, Jamal, the boy on the show “Who Wants to be a Millionaire”, recalls flashbacks specifically to support...

Marketing has long relied on the use of market segmentation. While birth age has been a useful way to create groups, it describes segments but does not help to understand segment motivations. However, environmental events experienced during one’s coming of age create values that remain relatively unchanged throughout one’s life. Such values provide a common bond for those in that age group, or generational cohort. Segmenting by ‘coming of age’ age provides a richer segmentation approach than birth age. This study compares two significant cohorts: Baby Boomers and Generation Y, with respect to their shopping behavior and purchase involvement for food, clothing and automobiles. For the three types of products...

...Global Studies 298: Barcelona Winter 2009 Cinema History in Barcelona and Spain Cinema reflects the voice and culture of a nation. It documents important changes in politics, lifestyle, and even language. Barcelona was the birthplace for Cinema in of Spain. During the silent period of film all of the biggest Spanish directors including Marro, Chómon, Gelabert, and Bános were based out of Barcelona (Alvarez 6). The first films that had sound where shown in Barcelona before anywhere else, although without sound due to the lapse in technological capabilities (Alvarez 7). Barcelona’s movement in film did not stop there. Throughout the years and generations Catalan cinema has been a part of Spanish culture and has in its own right fought to survive. In the beginning Barcelona was the sole player in Spanish Cinema. Madrid, the other major metropolitan area, was more concerned with traditional forms of entertainment such as bullfighting and la zarzuela (musical theater) (Alvarez 6). The first Spanish film was actually that of a group of church goers leaving Sunday Mass which was entitled Salida de la misa de doce del Pilar or in English: “Leaving the Midday Mass at the Church of Pilar in Zaragoza.” This film was already the way from 1896 and would seem to show an enthusiastic future for film if it were not for such factors as foreign competition, government, and an overbearing church (Stone 14). During the turn of the century in particular themes of the church...

...01/18/2013. Global Cinema Questions for Spanish Cinema and Cell 211. 1. Individual Question: I have not used this film in a class before. I want your honest opinion of it. Look at the course objectives and refer to specific ones as you address whether or not I should use this film again in Global Cinema. I think Cell 211 portrays a very excellent example of Spanish cinema and Global Cinema at large and hence, should be used in future classes. One of the main objectives of the Global Cinema course is for the student to be able to differentiate between film as mass consumption entertainment like the ones produced in Hollywood and film as cultural art as produced in other countries. Even though Cell 211 has a lot in common with Hollywood style of film production, I think it still kept close to the international style of filming because the main Character in the movie, Juan Oliver, was not Idolized and made to seem superhuman. The movie was realistic and not only was it entertaining but also very emotional, which is a strong trait of Spanish films. I particular like the final scene where Armando asked if there was any questions signifying that the movie answered all and any questions the audience had. Another important objective of this course is help the student identify the historical and political issues being addressed in the film and I think Cell 211 couldn’t have done that any better. The ETA members were taken hostage in the prison and I remember sitting...

...reward type business. It has been the goal of studios and filmmakers to put buts in seats at cinemas all over the world. Over the decades new technologies have added more interest to viewers in the ultimate goal to have the best experience watching a film. In society the cinema was used as a catalyst to forget about what’s going on in daily lives of viewers and take the audience to another world or another time. It was the perfect getaway from troubles of the real world. The Beginning: The first developed film technology was the Kinetoscope projector. Inventor Thomas Edison developed the Kinetoscope. The Cinematograph developed by the Lumiere Brothers was an advancement on its predecessor the Kinetoscope. The Lumiere Brothers would send camera men all over to film various things done by people and they would show the film with their Cinematograph to an audience and from there the cinema was born. Around 1898 a man named George Melies used the technology given and established vast sets and camera tricks as a way to make films even more unique and special. Melies’ films would take the viewer to the moon or on an adventure across the seven seas. People would come to see his films because it was something different. Up to that point films were only a minute or two long but with the success of Melies longer films other producers began making longer films as well. The Birth of the Cinema Theater: At this time film exhibition was more of a novelty where it would be shown for a...
