Question 1 I researched commercial marketing techniques, effective video production skills, and referred to various parodies of the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare to help create an appealing video to the youth which will help sell the play. From my research, I specifically took away that the youth (and many other ages) are mostly attracted to humorous content, with the idea of humorous content arose the use of an ideal figure or celebrity to promote the product in a show or commercial.

These elements can include certain techniques of mise en scene, or a story or theme that has never been explored in previous films, or hasn’t been executed in the same manner.

An analysis of Frankenstein Heath Schexnider Western Governors University WGU Student ID: 422867 After reading the work my reaction was much different to my previous reactions to exposures to Frankenstein. I felt much more connected to the story when I read it and felt it was more of a Science-Fiction novel than simply a horror story. Prior to reading this novel I had only seen theatrical adaptations of this story. I was most impressed with the author's conceptualization of the reanimation

From the beginning to the end of the music video “Hmm for the Weekend” by Coldplay featuring Beyoncé (2015), the audience is shown a multiple array of colours and authentic sounds, from traditional bells, to Chris Martin’s angelic voice. However, the video also portrays prolific visuals of the Indian culture.

Each of the stimuli I selected was due to something in the image or video that drew my attention. The first image referenced as “Sunset” attracted my focus due to the color and the dark contrast of the boy and tree standing out against the background.

Welcome to Rick’s: A Closer Look to the Introduction of Rick When the opening of the film Casablanca (Michael Curtiz, 1942) first introduces Rick at “Rick’s”, many indications of his character are shown. He is sophisticated, mysterious, and a hard thinker. These traits are shown by his playing chess by himself and wearing very expensive, well-kept clothing. The “Rick Introduction” scene in the film is able to give the audience an immediate perspective on who Rick really is, within a matter of

The plagiarism tutorial taught me three things. The first thing that it taught me was APA format requires the citing of paraphrased material to be different than the citing of directly quoted material (Jackson, 2017). This is helpful to me because in my last class I was citing my paraphrased material like it was directly quoted. The second and third thing it taught me was there is a better way to use paraphrasing as a tool to avoid plagiarism and that there are six different types of plagiarism (Jackson

Troy is clearly the protagonist. He’s likable and complex. He’s the type of character that feels like he can attract talent, given his range of emotion and his deep, psychological need and inner struggle. Troy’s choices to find his biological family and give Gigi a ride move the story forward. Troy has a solid external goal and he’s driven by his inner, emotional need to find out about his biological parents and connect. It’s a solid goal and objective. The stakes are personal.

Last quarter I took a class called Psychology of Gender that I really enjoyed. The topics that we discussed were all very interesting and had me wanting to go to every class for engaging discussions.
