A Program Evaluation is an important factor in determining if an agency is producing successful results. Usually a program evaluation is requested or brought forth by a specific concern that is in need of being addressed. This type of practice-based research method provides agencies with accountability. Sometimes a program evaluation is needed in order for some agencies to continue to receive funding to keep their programs, to meet accreditation standards, and to ensure clients are being helped…

The history of film began in the 1890s, when motion picture cameras were invented and film production companies started to be established. Because of the limits of technology, films of the 1890s were under a minute long and until 1927 motion pictures were produced without sound. The first decade of motion picture saw film moving from a novelty to an established large-scale entertainment industry. The films became several minutes long consisting of several shots. The first rotating camera for taking…

Through writing my pitch, I’ve learnt several things about the film industry. I’ve realised that a pitch is the very first thing we need to do before proceeding to any preproduction or production tasks and that the purpose of a pitch is to attract development finance to pay for the production of the film. Therefore, a pitch should be marketable and interesting. As pitching is commonly known as “selling the film”, there are several things I need to consider in my pitch so that it can attract the investors…

However, they may use them to attain different goals and employ in different ways.

Prescriptivist, as the term suggests, is one who believes there is a prescribed list of rules that writers and speakers of the language must adhere. The prescriptive approach is “Norm-enforcing” (Camron, D., 2003). A descriptivist, on the other hand, is a linguist who, rather than impose grammar usage rules, observes how patterns of the language naturally emerge. It is simpler to take a neutral stance and agree that both a Prescriptive and a Descriptive point of view are needed to keep the language moving…

Criteria for Film Evaluation There are three major standards through which I decide whether or not I will watch a film: reputation, and genre. Reputation is inclusive of friends and ratings of the film. Usually my friends and I have similar tastes and we are aroused or repulsed by the same films. Reputation is a strong and stable standard for deciding which film to go to, because…

I interviewed an evaluator, Person A, who explained that every evaluation and assessment is unique, so her…
