The paper about “Semiotic analysis of Girish Karnad’s play The Dreams of Tipu Sultan”, Yashaswini Gowda. Semiotics is often employed in the analysis of texts. Here it should perhaps be noted that a 'text' can exist in any medium and may be verbal, non-verbal, or both, despite the logo centric bias of this distinction. The term text usually refers to a message which has been recorded in some way (e.g. writing, audio- and video-recording) so that it is physically independent of its sender or…

The Auteur Theory, is the idea that the true author of a film is the director. The director leaves an implicit remark on the film and because of this cinematic, literary, or thematic signature, they are credited as the author of the film. While there are numerous people involved in the production of a film, with some directors it is truly prominent who can be described as the author of the film. Mel Brooks, renown comical director and screenwriter is one instance of the undeniability of the…

To motivate audience members to address these problems with society, Miller creates characters they can empathize with. Because Death of a Salesman is a play, most characters are actors with a physical presence and capacity for human emotion rather than merely printed names. The theatrical realist movement inspired plays about middle-class characters and encouraged natural acting. Miller took this movement further; to maximize the chance of the audience identifying with his characters, he…

Proud Mary Proud Mary was by far one of the best movies that I have seen this year. The movie is an action packed, kick-butt film in which Taraji P Henson plays the lead character, Mary. NY Times described Taraji as a, “hit woman with a soft spot” and Variety describes her as a, “Haunted assassin who bonds with a kid.” I, however, describe Taraji’s character Mary as simply a resilient and audacious hero. In Proud Mary, Mary was a part of a mafia that she had been affiliated with all her…

I really enjoyed Water By the Spoonful. It was easy to become lost in the show and I ended up becoming very attached to the characters. Although there were some scenes where you could tell the actors spoke a line ahead, overall they did a great job. The performance by the actress playing Haikumom/Odessa brought tears to my eyes. Additionally, the production did a really good job of working with the few set pieces they had. The use of lighting for the chats was cool and made it easy to follow…

preferred it because it is told from the point of view of the main character, Tris. She lets you know all her thoughts, her personal opinions of situations, and other personal things. Sadly, these are not shown in the movie. Still, the movie and its actors did a good job for the development of the story and the characters and should continue to do so by adapting the continuation novels, Insurgent and…

characters so improvisation, which means the actors have to try and prepare for the production during the performance. The costumes allow the actors to understand the characters and try to interpret them as much as possible. The cloak and the money pouch could allow the actor to learn the story of the Pantalone’s greed. The costume’s details and mask branch out into becoming the aspect of storytelling that bring the character’s meaning to the audience and to the actor. In the article called “In…

Will Eno’s play “Intermission” is arranged as a play in between a play, with all of the action inserted during the intermission of a play that the characters are attending. From the beginning of this play it is noted that the four major actors have issues with time, reality, and boredom by their conversations. The same could be said for the intermission during Andrew Lee’s performance. In considerations of Eno’s play and Lee’s performance, what are the effects of and intermissions insertion or…

Psycho Article Summary With over a hundred years of watching movies, audiences have come to expect a certain formula their films should follow, and when they don’t there can be some unseen outcomes. One film that is famously known for breaking this formula is Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho. When Psycho first released film goers and movie critics alike were shocked and (for many cases) appalled by the twist shower scene in Hitchcock’s movie. Although it is no argument that Psycho’s shower scene, and…
