...Paper One Assignment for Film One (F1) ARTH 334 James Jackson February 7, 2015 “The Kid” debuted in 1921 written and directed by Charles Chaplin is great film about a poor man (played by Charles Chaplin) who runs into a situation that tests his morals and character. He finds an abandoned baby orphan on the street and not having the means to support another person he still decides to care for this child (played by Jackie Coogan) and teaches him what he knows about the world. This film perfectly presents a good balance of comedy and drama in a way that makes you sympathize with the main characters and route for their happiness of staying together. Three specific items to concentrate on are its camerawork, editing, and sound. The camerawork (Cinetography) aided in the story telling of this film by using match on action, specifically different scene angles showing different views within same scene and adding continuation to the story. This type of scene change allowed for movement of the subject as it was occurring to various places and continue temporal continuity. I noticed however the camera was always still with limited left and right panning action only. Adding more movement to the camera through tracking shot could have possibly made the scene more fluid in motion avoiding the viewer from orienting themselves at every scene change. It would have been possible for Chaplin to add this technique as it was already available and featured in an Italian film in 1914...

...In 2010, Kid Cudi made a guest appearance on One Tree Hill, starring as himself and performing in the show. Kid Cudi also starred in the HBO comedy series How to Make It in America, as part of the main cast, until its cancellation after 2 seasons.[60] Personal life On March 26, 2010, his daughter, Vada Wamwene Mescudi, was born.[61][62] Throughout 2012, Cudi was in a quiet but bitter custody battle with the mother of the child. Reports surfaced that Cudi gave up custody after his child's mother accused him of being an absentee father, as well as having violent tendencies and a "long history of consistent drug and alcohol abuse." These claims were disputed by Cudi and his attorney in a statement, which noted: Cudi did not give up custody but reached an amicable agreement with the mother; that "both parents are fit and proper persons to have custody of their child," as stated in the final custody judgement; results came back negative for drugs in a drug test voluntarily taken by Cudi; and that the court acknowledged Cudi attempted to establish a relationship and visit his child since her birth and "voluntary provided financial support, including child support, rent and other monthly payments, for his daughter since her birth until the time that a child support order was entered as part of the normal course of the case." Details of the official custody agreement remain private.[63] Cudi has purchased a property in Chicago to be close to his...

...ritics, record-label hype and American modern-rock radio, which Yorke compares to "a fridge buzzing". This coincides with the soundtrack of the film, with sounds that weave in and out of snatches of interviews, conversations, and songs. Along with this "radio wave" effect is a series of edits and quickly moving shots with stills, slow tracking shots, time-lapse photography, and colour/black-and-white film and video. The documentary opens with video taken from the back of a subway train, along with the track "Fitter Happier" from OK Computer. This cuts to the band members reading off several dozen radio intros. Interspliced with the promotional material is live footage taken from various venues around the world, including the song "Karma Police" on Late Show with David Letterman. Included in the documentary are various video clips of television appearances, newspaper articles, and other mentions of Radiohead in the media. In a clip from a Sky News programme, presenter Kay Burley comments on the video for the band's song "No Surprises", saying "Music to cut your wrists to. [...] It's the most miserable-sounding tune I've ever heard." While watching the video, the programme's music reviewer quips "You'll probably quite enjoy it because he actually drowns at the end". The making of the video is then shown, where frontman Thom Yorke is lip-synching while trapped in a tank of rising water.[2] The world tour that is the subject of the film has subsequently been admitted as a...

...In this wonderful experience, I learned plenty about the kids and how I could connect their everyday behavior. In all the units we have covered, they displayed most, if not all the attributes about behavior, the way the brain works and how we learn towards certain things. This experience helped me grow in understanding psychology. The first psychology reference that I noticed were the behaviors that made them human. Behaviorism refers to the school of psychology founded by John B. Watson and was based on the belief that behaviors can be measured, trained, and changed. Behaviorism is a concept of learning based upon the idea that all behaviors are developed through conditioning. Conditioning occurs through interaction with the environment. The first example of this was on my first visit with the students and their art teacher. When a student would talk over the teacher, she would take away points for their daily activities and they would immediately stop. By taking something away, the bad behavior was changed. Another example of behaviorism that the students exhibited was when they found out I would be helping out every week. It gave them something to look forward to and more than likely provided a basis for their behavior throughout the week. The students who exhibited bad behavior could be put back “in line” by letting them know they would not be able to participate in the interactions of the high school student that visited them weekly. Students were also rewarded for traits...

...The Kids Are All Right Research Paper I viewed the movie The Kids Are All Right. This movie is about a couple, Nic and Jules, who are in a committed, long term relationship. Their relationship is by no means perfect. They have two kids, Laser and Joni. Laser’s biological mother is Jules and Joni’s is Nic. Each child represents their mother in temperament. The twist is that Joni and Laser are both half siblings having the same sperm donor father. Joni is eighteen and Laser is only fifteen. Shortly before Joni plans to head off for college, Laser pleads with her to contact their sperm donor father. He is thirty-something Paul, a co-op farmer and restaurateur. Paul may look successful but he has always evaded responsibilities, mainly in his personal life. After meeting Paul, Nic and Jules learn about their children’s interaction with their sperm donor father. They do not want him in their lives but still want to have a connection with him and meet him since the kids want to maintain contact with him. As their entire relationship grows with Paul, this includes him hiring Jules to design and construct his backyard; they want to have an effect on what he wants in life. This in turn affects the family dynamic and each person’s relationship outside the family. The Family is much more conventional than what they seem. Nic is the obvious stereotypical father figure. She brings home the money at the end of the week being a doctor. Jules is not sure what she wants in life. Her business...

...Bump in the Night: The Vampire Bat Authors Note This essay of a memoir has been submitted on April 7, 2013 Oh my god! This did not just happen to me. I find myself locked outside of my apartment with just my underoos on. I'm around eleven or years old at this time in my life. My mom and I have been in our apartment for about a year or two at this point so know my neighbors petty well by now. I had just moved to Maryland from Savannah, GA a few years ago. I'm slowly adjusting to being a latch key kid because my mother was a corrections officer and worked odd shifts sometime early morning or the midnight shift. I have two older brothers Mike who is the oldest at 7 years older than me and Toby who is 6 years older than me. They are not living with us at this time. My mom has been working these odd shifts for a year or so at this time so I was used to being home alone. There were rules I had to follow to keep myself safe. I'm pretty sure all latch key kids parents made them live by these rules as well. Never open the door from anyone but my mom or my brothers unless given direct instructions from either one of them. Don't give the impression that I might be home alone. Sometimes I would leave the television on or radio in the living room to give the illusion that there is some activity going on inside our apartment. This being home alone at night had become standard operating procedure at this point. There were just a few things that really bothered me when she would...

One test does not show what a student is capable of achieving in college. Transition: Now, let us talk about why standardized testing should not be used to determine admissions. II. Body a. Unfair i. One test does not show one’s full potential or intelligence. ii. i iii. I think the pictures give meaning and life to the album. iv.

...not go outside, do your homework, and do not call me at work. Besides chasing my sister back into the house when she escaped, we followed the rules and waited until our parents to get home. Merriam-Webster defines a Latchkey child as a school-aged child of working parents who must spend part of the day unsupervised (as at home) —called also latchkey kid Generation X,—born between 1965 and 1980— became a generation that was pushed into adulthood at an early age. It was an era of new technology. We watched the evolution of computers the size of a room become the norm as a desktop appliance. By interacting with computers at an early age, Gen Xers have a greater understanding of its concept. We spent less time with our parents then earlier generations. It was common for Boomer mothers to stay at home and raise their children, while the fathers went off to work. Unlike Boomers, Gen Xers were the first generation to be recognized as latchkey kids. Our generation found ourselves at home taking care of our younger siblings and ourselves while our parents worked. I never considered myself a Latchkey kid. I was like all the other fifth graders with working parents and younger siblings. I babysat all the time when my parents ran to the grocery store, or when they needed a date night. Babysitting was nothing new to me. I knew that my parents needed to work, so that we could have a good life. There have been many studies showing that unsupervised children...

...public relation issues that affected the brand’s identity and image, rise of fast fashion competition and its struggle with its brand position and pricing while the consumers’ preferences are changing. Through examining these various elements, it is clear that Abercrombie and Fitch must take a diverse approach in order to revitalize its brand and maintain profitability. First of all, one of the main internal issues that led to Fitch’s decline was their lack of sustainable competitive advantage. Indeed, A&F views brand image as its most important asset, and their postioning enabled them to set premium prices on their apparel. They lost their audience and brand image these past years ; in fact, the problem is that the « cool » college kids do not perceive A&F as trendy anymore. A better marketing information system is required to change that, evaluating customers tastes and needs evolution. Besides of Fitch’s loss of competitive advantage, public relation disasters highly damaged firm’s image. In 2002, a racist T-shirt that disparaged Asian Americans led to negative...
