What Was The Atmosphere Like During The Filming Of This Movie?

Canada as a nation has been striving to characterize itself as more ?Canadian? for decades. This has included numerous struggles and events such as protests, bans, and the creation of the Massey Commission, to encourage national development in the arts, and support major companies like the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) and National Film Board (NFB). However, this has not been an easy task for the Canadian government, as major influences from below the border (the United States) have been captivating the Canadian audiences by large. American media has had a momentous revolutionizing effect on Canada, even through efforts made to define Canada with its own cultural identity.

Singing in the Rain and A Clockwork Orange are both Classical Hollywood films. However, singing in the Rain closely follows what classical Hollywood film is supposed to be and A Clockwork Orange definitely tests the idea. Classical Hollywood Cinema is a type of traditional studio based style of making films in both the sound and silent periods. The directors of these types of films want you to simply watch and not worry about why the characters are doing what they’re doing. They want you to enjoy what you’re watching. They are also filmed with a sort of structure in the beginning the characters are all introduced to the viewers. There are then complications or conflict added to the plot. Then the resolution occurs where the conflict of the film has a confrontation and the protagonist ways his or her options. Finally, all major conflicts and issues in the film are resolved and generally the protagonist lives happily ever after. While the protagonists live happily ever after the antagonists of the films are punished from their actions throughout the film.

The beauty of the Canadian television and radio content is that there are so many multicultural channels available to people. Examples of these channels would be OMNI1, OMNI2, TLN, ART, BET, and many others (Rogers Cable). Acceptance of some content from the US does not necessarily mean that Canadians would accept just any media content from anywhere. There tends to be a trend for local acceptance of content. For instance, a “Cindy Crawford” on the front cover of a magazine is not going to help the advertising for that magazine in Asia. Same rule works for media content in Canada, if the content is not similar to the individuals’ cultural background, that person is not going

Ever since I was little, I enjoyed being in the kitchen with my mom, dad and other family members. As long as I can remember, I was always there, trying to help out in whatever I could and what my family members would let me. When I was eight, I baked my first batch of chocolate chip cookies and ever since then I developed a passion and dedication for baking that has helped to teach many

Their theatre productions are amazing productions and for the past few years they have been putting on large productions such as Chicago, Grease, The Wizard of Oz and this year the Little Mermaid (Les comédies musicales, n.d.) They have province level sports teams in hockey and volleyball (Activité Sportives, n.d.). All of these activities are supported by the students with great enthusiasm for their fellow college mates. In the past there was also a program broadcasted by the university: Télé Clare. It was a francophone community television station that put out local news, performances by Acadian artists and community ad space. It was cancelled in

The movie “Gone with the Wind” is about a rich southern girl named Scarlett O’Hara and her life hardships set during the time-period of the Civil War. In the story, Scarlett is forced to watch helplessly as her family’s wealth and lives fade as the confederacy loses the Civil War. Even though, the movie is mainly centered on the dilemmas of Scarlett’s love life, there are many historical accuracies that immerse the viewer in the southern mindset as well as the timeframe. The portrayal of class structures and the confederate attitudes before the Civil War are both accurate and engaging details that the movie successfully implements. In the film, these examples are displayed mainly through the dialogue and setting.

Canadians are convicted to many stereotypes, however, there are many cities in Canada that people hope not to live in. Stereotypes are like viruses you can't get rid of but spread rapidly. The biggest stereotype towards all Canadians is that we are polite. Most definitely everyone is not polite. One finds this country safe no matter what, peaceful and friendly. However, there are some places in Canada that meet these expectations, and some that don't. In a nutshell, this is the main story I am trying to tell.

Each country has a particular fingerprint they leave with their media, and this is no exception with canada. As a nation we have a cultural identity we reflect with out movies and T.V. shows. Although Canada has been swamped with american media, CBC stays true to its roots by having “almost 100% Canadian content, with a mixture of dramas, comedies, documentaries and news programs”. In particular, Mr. D is a Canadian show featured on CBC, it strongly represents CBC’s mandate by including a large range of diversity, strong canadian traits in the characters and a purely canadian crew adding to Canada's cultural identity.

“If you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all,” remarks Kathy Selden about movies after first meeting silent film star Don Lockwood in the beginning of Singin’ in the Rain (Singin’ in the Rain 17:38). While Kathy was slightly off base when saying that all movies are the same, movies belonging to the same genre often do share certain conventions which author Bernard F. Dick discusses in his book Anatomy of Film and Tim Dirks confirms in his assessment of the genre for the American Movie Classics Company. What do one of the best musicals ever made and the newest musical to receive raving reviews have in common? With 64 years separating Singin’ in the Rain (1952) and La La Land (2016), the advancements in film technology are apparent, but the

I think it’s filmed well not too many transitions in the film or weird shots from below. Sound effects are normal nothing spectacular or anything that truly stands out. There is little to no music in this movie at all and when there is it’s the same sound and musical noise over and over again which I can stand to you is easily my least favorite part of this film. All the sounds and cinematography put together in this film make for a truly stunning movie that really brings out the feel and time of the movie itself.

In today’s society, is the media mirroring our behavior, or are we mirroring the media’s portrayal of us? That question was posed in the documentary “The Merchants of Cool”, narrated by Douglas Rushkoff. This program examined the teenage culture and how the media is used to manipulate and portray our generation. With examples from Sprite, MTV, WB, and other massive media outlets, evidence is shown that our media-teenager relationship is tainted with sex, music, rebellion and a broad image of what it is to be “cool”. Most of the images portrayed of teenagers aren’t the best. With TV shows such as “MTV Spring Cruise”, teenagers are shown as sex-driven, reckless kids. TV corruption is just one of many examples of the blurred line between reality and perception in media and advertising.

Several weeks ago, my brother asked me if we could bake biscuits, and I eagerly agreed. At first, everything ran smoothly, the biscuit mixture was perfectly combined with not a lump in sight, the cheese grated to the smallest strands, the oven warmly heated and ready to go. However, when we got to greasing the pans my brother became useless. I watched him run around the kitchen as if the answer was hiding between boxes of cereal or behind the kitchen stove. How could he not know how to grease a pan? I was going to tell him to grow up and do it right, when I thought of a passage from the short essay Lost in the Kitchen by Dave Barry:

My baking skills hace increased after making a tripl bach of "moist devil's food cake",which filled up all the cake pans. While making it I used the Boch ,and the largest Vatsa bowl and made a mess in the process.

The documentary begins by explaining that the Freedom Rides was a civil rights movement, in which both black and white people had to get onto buses and drive into the South. They wanted to “test and challenge” segregated public places. The participants were aware that they could be insulted and harmed. There specific goal was to go into the “deep South” and end in New Orleans. They specifically wanted the Freedom Ride to become a movement.

For some, the idea of baking seems as menacing as the idea of drinking bleach; but to others it is an incredible way to relieve stress, show individuality, or even impress a significant other.
