Why I Should Be Taken For Course Work Purposes

The existence of the motion picture industries has been a primary source of media information. In fact, video studio gave birth to some magazines. The is so much obsessed with celebrity and star news leaving the media personnel with no option but dig star gossips as much as they can. The movie industry has been around for quite some time. However, over time it can be appreciated that cultures have regularly changed as time goes by (Thomas 67). Values to be depicted on in a movie vary widely as well as the actors. To get a clear picture of these varying cultures and values, it is important to compare two Hollywood stars; One before the year 1980 and the other one our current time.

I should be considered as the Shoals Student of the Year because I hold myself to high standards, work hard, and have a deep love for the Shoals area. My parents have instilled in me the need to always do my best, and I have worked very hard to do so. I believe it is important to do my best in everything. I have always given my best effort, whether it is a good grade, the position of drum major, honor band tryouts, or sweeping the floor. This is something I have done since childhood. I believe that this work ethic makes me an acceptable and exceptional candidate for Shoals Student of the Year.

In the contemporary context, when one tries to analyze the idea about women from previous decades being an audience and not the crew of a film industry, one wants to question and ask: why were women only an audience or, actors? Maybe there were some culturally held values and beliefs with respect to their contexts? However, with the passage of time, cultural and professional values improved. Technology began to improve and so did the mind-set of professional groups along with the audiences. Film industry has had an impression of providing first entertainment and, second education. Hence those working for the films might have had hurdles in choosing working for films as their career or vocation. At different times in the history, women in different cultural contexts have worked for certain film industries. I want to explore the idea about women and their talent in the film industry. Since I am primarily a viewer of the Bollywood industry and an occasional viewer of the Hollywood cinema, I want to compare the cultural and professional values of those who work for films in different settings. Since the course readings provided information with respect to certain cinema contexts, I wanted to add some ideas providing a comparative analysis of the women talent in diverse film settings.

She seems to be strong and independent and shows the patronizing attitude to Sullivan. The Girl is already acquainted with Hollywood's main requirement for women: submission to the male producers. By her comportment it can be assumed that she has failed as a Hollywood actress because of her refusal to follow these canons of behavior. The Girl has preserved her independence what can be seen when she gives sarcastic commentaries upon every attempt of Sullivan to show his domination and

The CES school I would most like to attend would be BYU-Idaho so that I am able to gain a better education and do great things like my siblings before me. I would also like to attend there because it will allow me opportunities that I wouldn’t be able to find anywhere else. BYU-Idaho also contains the schooling I will need in order to become an elementary teacher without going through a longer process than most colleges. I also agree with all the honor codes and the way the school system is set up so that you are able to do what is needed. I also strongly support the religious side of college and think that is a really great part being able to be with people who mostly have the same standards.

I am currently taking courses at Columbus State Community College for three reasons. The first reason is because I would like to get ahead in high school. By taking courses at Columbus State through College Credit Plus I am able to acquire both high school credit and college credit at the same time. If I continue to take college courses throughout the year I may be able to finish all of my high school credits by the end of next summer which would allow me to do a full 2 semesters of internships during my senior year. My second reason for taking college courses is to have something productive to do with my abundance of time over the summer. I often find myself extremely bored during summer break so by taking extra classes over the summer I am

For this assignment I will be analyzing Gwyneth Paltrow. Gwyneth Paltrow was born in 1972 to parents who were also in the business of acting. Her mother was an actress and her father was a producer/director. Paltrow herself became an actress as well as a singer and food writer. She originally studied anthropology but later dropped out of school and decided to act. Her first movie was called “High” a made for tv film that her father directed. She did really well in the beginning of her acting career but this slowed down after winning an Oscar. She believed she wasn’t ready for the pressure of acting and so made some poor decisions in films she decided to be a part of. Her acting career later picked up again when she starred alongside Robert Downy Jr. in the Iron Man movies.

A star’s image is a concept carefully molded by the celebrity himself or herself with the aid of many factors such as audience reception and current ideological trends. Star image, by definition, given by O’Shaughnessy and Stadler, is “the qualities, ideals, and values that a star represents, based on their films and other performances, and on media information circulated about them” (430). A change of star image encompasses the sum of everything we, as in the audience, affiliate with that star. That means changing the star’s body of work, promotion, publicity, and audience practices. These factors put together is also known as star text (Professor Josh Jackson, September 8, 2016, University of California, Berkeley). Jennifer Lawrence had a particular star text before she took on the role of Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games and was instead known for her role of Ree Dolly in Winter’s Bone. This new role launched Lawrence into a different star text she was previously known for. Though it seemed like the change is solely based on her landing an already popular role, the change in her star text is still calculated in order for her to maintain a certain image that landed her at the top of the celebrity social ladder. This careful manipulation of a celebrity’s image as she takes on a role that guaranteed a big impact on her acting career demonstrates how a star’s image is important when it comes to maintaining what the celebrity, and everyone who is working with that

I have always had a strong passion for school and I believe you can really see part of that in my transcript. The majority of all my classes since freshman year are averaged in 90’s and above, which I am proud of becuase it took hard work to keep everything in my life balanced out. I rank 14 out of 84 in my class, and although that may seem very impressive, I strongly believe I should be in the top 10 percentile of my class becuase I am deserving and always honest of the work I submit. My highest SAT score is an 1180, which again, for someone who doesn’t know me, may seem impressive, but I know I could have done better. Like many people, standardized tests give them anxiety, but I know that my score doesn’t define me as a student. The type

Perhaps one may say that Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, also known as ‘Lady Gaga’ has conquered living a double life. From her exquisite choice of clothes to provocative performance style to unique sound, Lady Gaga is known for making pop music “weird.” Five albums and eight years later, Lady Gaga continues to rock the entertainment industry not only with her excellence in music but most recently in her debut acting career, therefore, ultimately rewriting her star text. The body of work, authorized and calculated image construction, publicity, and audience participation one sees in Lady Gaga can be defined as her star text (Jackson). A star text can include a celebrity 's albums, movies, music videos, interviews, talk show

My personal opinion of Jolie’s work is that there are positive aspects to her involvement in development work, but there are so many underlying issues that it makes it impossible to view her work as positive to development.

Angelina Jolie is one of Hollywood's most known actresses. Leading in movies like “Salt” and “Maleficent.” She’s one of Hollywood's highest paid actors. Jolie was born in Los Angeles, California, June 1975. She was always a joyful little girl, she would dress up and play improve while her brother would record her. Meanwhile, she suffered from depression. While living in New York at the time, her parents were separated when she was only 6 months old. Her father being the actress Jon Voight managed to be very wealthy, but he failed to pay child support and saw Jolie and her older brother occasionally leaving their mother in money trouble. She was bullied in school and when they moved back to California she grew to be a rebellious teenager. She was a self-cutter (people who cut themselves to relieve stress between the age of 7 to 24) and started doing drugs. One time she cut herself so deep, she had to be rushed to the hospital. That was sort of wake up call for Jolie. Later in 1986 she dropped out of Highschool to attend Lee Strasberg Theatre and film Institution in West Hollywood, California. There she learned the method of acting, how to feel the emotion of characters by getting in touch with their painful memories. Acting pulled Jolie out of this dark place in her life. She later went back to Highschool where the bullying continued. Jolie says “ I didn't feel clean or pretty” pg.17.
