Jeffery Donavon: Video Analysis

Improved Essays
On the off chance, that I am the Hollywood movie producer, my objective would be to reproduce the second Shakespeare video as presented to me from the lesson for a 21st-century audience. The performer I would be my speaker would need to be Jeffery Donavon. He is an exceptionally popular actor. He would be a critical tool to the gathering of people to need to see the characters views my actor would be portraying. Many individuals will talk after for him. That many individuals could see the motion picture and need to see it. I would set this to be in the downtown streets of New York and have there be many people of all the stages of man, running from newborn are the distance to individuals in their senior years walking past Jeffery Donovan. …show more content…
My movie, much like the second video, would involve the actor showing the deep thought concerning the conditions of man and his stages. In addition, the movie would also show the stages of man as an aside, as Jeffery Donovan would not be talking directly to the other characters that depict each stage of man. I would set this to be in the downtown streets of New York and have there be many people of all the stages of man, running from newborn to individuals in their senior years hastily pacing past Jeffery Donovan. As each stage of man passes him, he recites their matching lines. For example, Jeffery Donovan is walking at a fast pace when the first stage of man also ^subito passes him, and as this stage passes him, the camera slows (slow motion in order to say his line before the next stage of man is drawn near him.) As the first stage, the Newborn passes him the camera slows and he states the line for the newborn stage of man, “At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms…” After that, the camera would resume the normal speed until the next stage of man draws in Jeffery Donovan’s radar. That next stage would be the whining

    In my opinion, my desire to be a state thespian officer could be summarized by my childhood girl scout troop’s mantra which was “Wherever you go make it a better place when you leave”. The arts programs over the course of my entire public education have served me well and continues to. This love for theatre has stemmed all the way from 1st grade Annie with my debut role of Kate the orphan to now an over 50 cast of Beauty and the Beast. I believe that the best way I can repay this debt back and make theatre a better place is through being a state thespian officer. Without theatre, I truly don’t know who I would be and I would like to do my best to not only improve arts programs across the state but, also bring the arts to those less fortunate improving theatre for all from when I first entered it all those years ago.…

    Pacino assumes creative licensing in adapting his film ‘Looking for Richard’ to an audience unappreciative of Shakespeare’s craft. In creating his docu-drama for a 20th century audience, Pacino transcends the confines of the Elizabethan era, hence allowing Shakespeare’s Richard III to prove more accessible and relevant to a contemporary audience. Through creative reshaping, Pacino vivaciously expresses the values intrinsically connected to both periods, teetering on previous concepts whilst entering a unique approach to them. In grasping a clear intertextual connection, the audience seamlessly witness Pacino’s attempt to reshape Shakespeare’s expression of the human self, deeply extricating the utmost importance of understanding one’s actions.…

    I really enjoyed watching the video. The purpose of John Sinnett 's was that he wanted his students to see that he was engaged just as the students were. From the video, we can see that John is very passionate about his kindergarten students. During his lesson, he gets down on the carpet on the same level as his student to make them feel engaged. This is something that is very important because students are so to teachers telling what to do.…

    The focus of the video clip we chose is around kinematics and dynamics. The movie scene we chose to do is from Project X when Thomas jumps from the roof and lands on a bouncy house. The research we did in order to determine whether or not Thomas’ fall was survivable centered around finding numbers pertaining to Thomas’ weight, the average height of a two story house, and information about fatal falls. We picked this scene because we wanted to see how realistic the fall was.…

    “Shakespeare must be a black girl,” voiced Maya Angelou as she spoke to a crowd of students and professors during a 2013 visit to Randolph College in Lynchburg, Virginia (Curtis). As a child growing up in rural Arkansas, Angelou became a victim of racism, rape, and abuse at a young age. One of the few places she found solace from these traumas was at her local public library, a safe haven where she read every piece of literature that she could get her hands on. This is how she first discovered the work of William Shakespeare. “How else could he know exactly how I felt?”…

    Dewitt Jones’s video is very inspirational; it makes me want to tap into my creativity more. I really appreciate the way he defines creativity, emphasizing that anyone is able to be creative if they are willing to change their perspective. Similar to his early beliefs, when I was younger, I believed that only talented artists were creative and that creativity was not a trait that everyone could possess, especially not myself. As I have grown older, I have learned that all of us possess creativity, we just have to be willing to go the extra mile in order to access it.…

    Over the centuries, theatre conventions evolved from the highly presentational performances of the Greeks to the extravagance of Elizabethan productions and eventually conglomerated to produce contemporary theatre. The University Playhouse’s performance of Acting: The First Six Lessons expressed this conglomeration of Greek and Elizabethan conventions through elements of presentational theatre, a non-localized set, and a supporting cast that functioned similar to a chorus or ensemble. This performance also altered conventions through the addition of female actors, use of representational aspects, adaption of the functions of the chorus or ensemble, and lack of a raised stage. In the following sections, I will discuss the adoption and adaptation…

    Showcased in their workshop presentation, discussion, and performance of Henry V, the American Shakespeare Company (ASC) demonstrate significant understanding and enthusiasm in their interpretations of the play; namely in the portrayal of Henry himself. ASC Co-founder and Artistic Director Jim Warren professes that “like all of Shakespeare’s major characters, Henry is not just one thing. He’s calculating and heroic; he’s patriotic and ruthless; and he gets the girl with one of Shakespeare’s most charming rom-com endings. The title character (and the play) is a rabbit and a duck. Just like life.”…

    Shakespeare enthralled audiences at the Globe, many of whom would be considered at the lower end of the economic spectrum. These spectators were riveted by tales of intrigue and bloodthirsty action. Despite the hundreds of years between them, Luhrmann also engaged his audience by presenting similar ideas in a way which reflected his contemporary society. At the heart of both productions are universal themes of cross-cultural clashes and the bitter and futile outcomes for lovers caught across the boundary. From…
