From poverty to racism, African Americans had to fight and struggle everyday for a less than even chance at surviving. The North, predominantly white, was worse than the South, predominantly black, however, the North was favored for its opportunity.

This was all in hopes of saving his terminally ill pregnant wife. Ellison expresses that humans can not change their destiny through the...

...Biographical Films Jenna Nelson December 12, 2014 JASS 248 Professor Erik Marshall Analysis Essay-The Five Heartbeats; The Film Genre of Biopics The Five Heartbeats (1991), directed by Robert Townsend, is a movie that I know all too well. This film effectively portrays the highs and the lows of the music industry and how it affects the members of a group. In this essay, I will analyze the cinematography, mis-en-scéne and the importance of music in films such as this one. I will also expound upon the genre of biographical films and how they contribute to society. Biographical films, or “biopics” represents the life history of an actual person or group. Unlike documentary film, biopics employ actors to play the roles of these individuals: they are dramatized, fictional films. Biopics are often marketed as being “inspired by” or “based on” the lives of famous people including entertainers, royalty, scientists and even criminals. Dennis Bingham conducted a study on biographical films and discusses and history of the biography. He also looks at the various forms of the biopic, including theatrical releases, made-for-television movies and short films. Bingham argues that biopics of women are structured so differently from male biopics as to constitute their own genre. The conventions of the female biopic have proven much more intractable than the male biopic. This is due to society’s difficulty with the very issue of women in the public sphere. The difficulty kept...

With the help of creativity, technology, and strong dedication, a logo that represents imagination, dreams, and magic can be created. The Walt Disney logo is formed according to the founder’s signature that promises secure, cheerful, and quality western cartoon entertainment industry. Aside from the regular logo which is only a fancy text, the company has adopted different form of logo for different kinds of products. For example, the castle that appears in front of a blue background version is used for Disney’s movie releases. As for other segment like resorts and holiday, Disney added the word “world” behind its famous fancy “Walt Disney” logo. Even though each logo is located at different segments of market, they share same symbols which is a “star fall”. In the movie release logo, there is a line forming an arc accross the castle. That line, apparently, is the tail of the star fall. Similarly, in the resort logo, a star fall also appears above the text. Disney puts this star fall symbol to symbolize dreams, wishes, and miracles do come true to...

From inevitable accents to being bound to Latino stereotypes, each movie, commercial, and screen-time is an accomplishment. We are never aware all the arduous work that they had to do. We never know where they come from or the sacrifices that they had to make.

...says. "Working with a younger target that doesn't necessarily consider our brand, [the campaign] certainly drives up our name with this audience." "Engagement" is the operative word on virtual sites where brands can splash their name around the environment by opening boutiques in virtual malls or sponsoring lounges where users can congregate. To build up its back-to-school campaign, Sears did just that on the teen and tween sister sites Zwinky and Meez. In its Arrive Lounge on Zwinky, a Sears-created video featuring High School Musical 3 star Vanessa Hudgens played in the background. Users could also watch a Sears-sponsored fashion show or visit its boutique to try on the clothes. (Schwirtz, 2010) Discuss clothes shopping from a family decision-making standpoint, including parent-child dynamics and determine the dynamic that Sears is attempting to influence by using social network sites.
