Movie Media Assignment

Hello Ms. Johnson,

I had a question regarding the movie media assignment. While looking over my grades today I noticed the extra credit movie assignment was marked 100/200, while the extra credit section was marked 200. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be like this or not. The only reason why I bring it up, is because canvas seems to view the movie assignment as a media assignment, which it then calculates into a final grade in that section. Since it sees the movie assignment as a 100/200 it has lowered my overall score, on an extra credit assignment. I just wanted to check and make sure.

    Wynter Film Theory Essay

    In applying for the Sylvia Wynter Graduate Fellowship, my area of interest is film theory, especially as it is challenged by the work of Sylvia Wynter. Wynter’s work challenges us, as diasporic people of African descent, to create unique stories, and to approach them as “new ceremonies.” In cinema, Wynter’s challenge is primed to authorize the film scholar to approach other ways of performing humanness as a verb, and to find inventive ways of implementing humanness as a creative and biographic practice. As a student, I have noted that a large segment of African American film scholars are both resistant and dismissive of the film theory that is integral to the success and continuance of Black independent film study. It is my contention that…

    Unit 2 Assignment 3 Video And Image Editing

    Assignment 3: Video & Image Editing I realize that there is an internet social media culture that enjoys taking pictures and posting them online for their friends, family, and the world to see. I have friends that post pictures multiple times a day seemingly storing their pictures on social media for all to devour anytime they choose.

Many of them use the photo editing apps to enhance their pictures by removing flaws, enhancing the vibrancy of colors, and putting text over their pictures, just to name a few.…

    Commentary On The Film Education, Inc.

    There is so much that I am learning about education throughout my experience in college. When you think you know how schools are ran, you learn new information that makes you do a 360. I feel as if I am always keeping up with current events so I know what is ongoing throughout education in America. There is so much that is happening behind closed doors that the public has no clue about until it is presented in a documentary or by a “conspiracy theorist". I am appalled at what I learned from this documentary.…

    Stand Up Film Analysis

    Australia, being the multicultural country that it is and has been for decades, some form of racial discrimination will always be inevitable. Through the use of characters and visual techniques, Australian Rules and ‘Stand Up’ from the TV series Redfern: Now are able to create a representation of the indigenous race and reflect on the racial attitudes toward them at the time. Australian Rules was released in 2002, and according to the events that occurred in the film, racism and racial divide was still very present in Australian society. On several occasions during the film, conflict is demonstrated amongst white Australians and indigenous Australians. ‘Stand Up’ on the other hand, creates a rather different representation of Indigenous Australians.…

    Direct Cinema Research Paper

    Direct Cinema, or Cinéma Vérité, presents somewhat of a constant and ongoing paradox as to what a film’s criteria should be. Some say Direct Cinema is a specific style of filmmaking and others will say the complete opposite. This is what makes the genre so interesting because there doesn’t seem to be a definitive answer as to what makes something strictly a Direct Cinema film. Is it something that attempts to be unbiased by showing individual moments that aren’t affected by the camera, or is it something that encapsulates a specific emotion in a specific time and place with as little bias as possible?…

The word Culture defines as “the quality in a person or society that arises from a concern for what is regarded as excellent in arts, letters, manners, scholarly pursuits, etc.” (dictionary.com).

    Essay On Movie Editing

    Movie editing is defined as “the art, technique, and practice of assembling shots into a coherent sequence” on Wikipedia. While actors and directors gain fame and fortune from feature films, the editors get little recognition for their hard work that makes movie exciting. Without these editors, movies would be a dull, never-ending scene with a lot dead space. Editors are able to craft a film to evoke any emotions that they want, simply by changing the timing of the shot. Film editing is almost as old as film itself, the innovators of editing used their art to transform films from a boring set of moving pictures into an exciting story telling medium.…

    Project X Movie Analysis

    Project X is "an astounding movie about adolescence a brutal, unapologetic comedy about the fantasy every high school kid carries around in his head about being popular and cool and beloved". The reviewer George Doel disagrees with multiple aspects of the movie such as the movie being very offensive. I believe George Doel is wrong because the movie is a party and about having fun not caring so nothing should be offensive, its for teens. Firstly, George Doel speaks about the actors, the way they speak to each other is offensive.…
