[order_calculator]When Quentin Tarantino’s fourth film, Kill Bill, came out in 2003:
From Washington Post:
“Outrageous, ingenious, inventive and very bloody (to the point of Monty Python-
style satire), this movie reconfirms his status as the master of pop cinema and
puts a sense of excitement into the year.”
From New Yorker:
“The movie is what’s formally known as decadence and commonly known as crap.
Saying that it’s an homage to long-established genres in Hong Kong doesn’t reduce
its pop-nihilistic stupidity.”
Whew. Some reviews can be as entertaining as the film itself, or even more so.
When you review a film, you have two responsibilities.
–First, to evaluate the film by stating your overall opinion—positive, negative, or mixed—
and to analyze the film, supporting your opinion with evidence.
–Second, to entertain your readers. You have to show that you’re sharp enough TO
evaluate films, and that you are knowledgeable and perceptive. And have some
personality.
When you do an analysis, you evaluate certain elements just like you do with literature. You use literary elements that address the story,
but because it’s a visual medium, you must also use visual elements.
I. STORY ELEMENTS
–CHARACTERS:
Major, minor, supporting. How do they change and develop? What is their motivation? Are they believable? Is the plot character-driven?
Does the dialogue ring true?
–PLOT:
The story line. Usually revolves around a conflict, a clash of ideas or forces, or internal tension of some kind. Plot twists need to make
sense in the end, and no scenes should be meaningless. Is there sufficient development to the story?
–THEME:
The idea behind the film, the truth the filmmakers are exploring. Maybe a social message, a demonstration of some truth, or an insight.
Needs to be subtle and well-integrated into the story.
II. VISUAL ELEMENTS
–ACTORS:
How well they do a role, their believability. It’s how well they bring the character to life—not whether or not you like the character
that was written. Be sure to keep them separate from the characterization.
–CINEMATOGRAPHY:
The way the movie is filmed. The shots, camera angles, and lighting. Certain effects. Close-up shots, camera movements, lighting.
Give ex: A Time To Kill, when ____________ kills them in courthouse. Also, in jail.
–EDITING:
Putting individual camera shots into a coherent final product. The sequence of images and transitions from one scene to the next. How
scenes are spliced together. The pace of the film.
–PRODUCTION DESIGN:
Sets, costumes, locations, and props. Do they feel authentic? Set the right mood?
–SOUNDTRACK:
Not the popular songs that often accompany certain scenes, but the musical score of the film that adds to the mood. Is it appropriate?
Distracting?
III. THE PLAYERS
Producer: pitches the project, arranges financing, monitors the money, advises on locations.
Director: interprets the script, oversees shooting and the actors, and determines film’s style.
Writer(s): Create an original plot and characters, or adapt already-created ones.
Actors: Translate characters onto the screen.
Cinematographer: Director of photography. Decides lighting, camera angles and movement.
Editor: cuts the footage to arrange into final product.
Consider genres and various conventions:
Western: mythic setting in the Old West, tense buildup to a showdown, good and
bad guys, symbolism.
Horror: jittery camera and jumpy editing, shrill music or silences, fear of what
can’t be seen, the paranoid central character.
Romantic Comedy: crossed signals between eventual lovers, sarcastic banter, the kiss
Historical Drama, Psychological Thriller, Sci-fi,…
AN ANATOMY OF A FILM REVIEW:
1. Title and grade
2. Introduction
Hooks the reader and establishes your credibility as someone with something interesting to say. Here are some possible ways to begin:
–compare a film to others by the same director
–compare the film to others by the same writer
–compare the film to others starring the same actor(s)
–compare an adapted film to its original source
–compare a film to other films with similar themes
3. Thesis
This is the point you are prepared to argue and support through your analysis, and it’s your assessment of how well the film succeeds in
fulfilling its intentions and your expectations. It’s why you feel the way you do about the film. Did it do what you expected?
Some reviewers build a case first, and lead readers through their analysis to their thesis, which appears at the end. But most present the
thesis quickly.
REMEMBER: a good thesis doesn’t just say whether you liked the film, but sets forth a more specific argument that analyzes the important,
underlying strengths or weaknesses. And an important FYI: you don’t have to be negative. You just have to have support for whatever you’re
saying.
On the movie Crash:
“Crash wants to be taken seriously as a meditation on our anxiety-plagued
times, but the coincidences are too pat, the tugs on the heartstring too insistent.”
“People collide as well in this literate, engrossing, and occasionally funny
look at race relations in Los Angeles.”
On Fight Club:
“Fight Club is the most frankly and cheerfully fascist big-star movie since
Death Wish, a celebration of violence in which the heroes write themselves a license
to drink, smoke, screw and beat one another up. Sometimes, for variety, they beat
up themselves. It’s macho porn—in which eroticism between the sexes is replaced
by all-guy locker-room fights.
4. Brief Plot Summary
Include a brief plot summary usually near the beginning. It hits the highlights but leaves out the details. It’s both specific and
concise. The review does NOT retell the story. Plot, or story, is only one element in the analysis. This may involve two or three
paragraphs, short ones.
And NEVER, NEVER TELL THE ENDING. Don’t give away the surprise. Don’t ruin it for your readers.
Here’s an example of Super Size Me:
“Super Size Me takes on McDonald’s and challenges its claim that it offers
healthy fast food to millions of Americans every day. Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock,
twenty-something everyman, acts as a human guinea pig, consuming nothing but
McDonald’s food for thirty days. Spurlock entertains us as his body goes through
something like toxic shock, weaving in scary statistics about Americans’ issues with
obesity.
5. Analysis
Here you examine the elements—not all of them, but two or three. Be selective. This is the middle section of your review. You prove your
thesis by selecting and discussing the elements that support your overall evaluation of the film’s strengths and weaknesses. You may
examine some that can be praised and some that can be criticized. What works well, what does not.
6. Conclusion
No need for a detailed summary or recapitulation. A review is too short. Be a little creative here.

[order_calculator]The principles of aesthetic value.
The goal of this assignment is to demonstrate that you can use aesthetic principles in your own reasoning, and to look at an object in a
new, perhaps more open-minded, way. Ideally you should learn something about what you value, and gain some insight into how others might
perceive the world a bit differently.
You must submit your responses to the assignment below in an essay format.
Your essay should be a minimum of 1000 words, not including your “Works Cited” section at the end of your essay.
Submit your responses in the text box provided when you click on “submit assignment.”
Do not attach any files to your submission. To include a picture of your object of analysis, use the “Image” tool available in the text
submission box (signified by a “tree” in a box), or upload your picture to a website and include the URL in your essay.
Your essay will be automatically checked through the “Turn It In” system, so make sure that you are responsibly citing your sources,
including quotation marks around quoted material, and using your own words for any summarizing or paraphrasing.
ASSIGNMENT:
First, find an object THAT YOU HAVE PHYSICALLY ENCOUNTERED (do not use things from online) that you do not normally consider art, or even
aesthetically valuable. You may have encountered this item in a normal daily setting, or in a museum, art store, or other venue.
Examine the object for a while, and then write out a brief description of the object (if necessary, take a picture of the object and
include that with your assignment, pasting the picture into the submission text box.).
Second, indicate (in approximately one or two paragraphs) why you normally would not consider the object art or aesthetically valuable.
You should include what your original definition of art is (what do you normally consider art, and why), and you should clearly explain
why this object does not meet your preconceived notions about art.
Next, try to examine the object in a new way, using the principles of aesthetic reasoning (either functionalist or formalist, but not
both). Give an argument, which integrates facts about the object and the aesthetic principles, for why someone could consider the object
art or aesthetically valuable. The aesthetic principles you use must be true of the object. You must choose to use either functionalist
principles or formalism, but NOT BOTH since functionalism and formalism are incompatible. YOU CANNOT USE, OR EVEN MENTION, THE LAST
PRINCIPLE ABOUT “NO ARGUMENT CAN BE GIVEN TO ESTABLISH AESTHETIC VALUE” (since the assignment REQUIRES YOU TO PROVIDE AN ARGUMENT, this
last principle is not compatible with the assignment).
The more reasoning and depth to your analysis, the better. You should submit an essay of 1000 to 2000 words in order to ensure you have
developed your ideas adequately. Don’t forget to include your in-text citations and a Works cited section at the end of your essay.

[order_calculator]Here is the brief overview of this cumulative Session Long Project (SLP). In this research project, you would work as a marketing consultant to develop a feasible marketing plan for your client. You would conduct both secondary research in SLP1 and SLP2, and primary research in SLP3 to glean the necessary information for your marketing plan in SLP4 and SLP5. When conducting primary research in SLP3, collect only qualitative data (i.e., personal in-depth interviews with at least three target customers) for this study.
It is important to conduct quality market research on your focal product/company in order to develop realistic and workable marketing
plans. Generally speaking, there are two types of research. One is secondary research, which refers to data collection using existing
sources, and the other is primary research, which is your own data collection for the specific study at hand. The purpose of market
research is to collect usable information to make more informed decisions on the business problem, thus increasing the chance of business
success in the marketplace.
Please check the outline of the marketing plan, which provides information on:
1.The final format for this cumulative session long project;
2.A list of topics for the whole project;
3.The continuity and connections among SLPs 1-5.
In this module SLP2, conduct SWOT analysis for your charge based on the situation analysis in SLP1. This is the second step of this
cumulative research project. Be sure to revise the sections in SLP1 and include them in this paper following the marketing plan outline
provided above.
SWOT Analysis
A thorough situation analysis in the Module 1 SLP is the foundation for a SWOT analysis. Develop statements of the company’s internal
strengths and weaknesses, and external opportunities and threats. If there is any question as to whether a fact or issue is external
(these lead to opportunity and threat statements) or internal (these lead to strength and weakness statements), ask this key question,
“Would this issue exist if the company did not exist?” If the answer is yes, then the issue should be classified as external.
Note: Remember that alternative marketing strategies and tactics are not opportunities. Opportunities and threats exist independently of
the firm. Strategies and tactics are what the firm intends to do about its opportunities and threats relative to its own strengths and
weaknesses.
The SWOT will play a critical role (along with an in-depth understanding of target market needs/preferences and competition) in the
development of goals, objectives, and marketing strategies and programs. Key strengths need to be matched to opportunities and converted
to capabilities that help serve customer needs better and lead to competitive advantage. Goals, strategies, and program ideas stem from an
attempt to convert weaknesses into strengths and threats into opportunities. Some alternatives will also come from thinking about how to
minimize the repercussions of weaknesses and threats that cannot be converted, and/or how to avoid them altogether. Follow the
instructions below to identify strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats.
A. Strengths and Weaknesses (Internal)
Think about internal conditions; those things that management has some control over that are relevant to future success and effectiveness.
The task is to identify internal strengths, which must be taken into consideration as management plans for the future.
Remember, a strength is any internal characteristic that improves effectiveness. Look for factors that help the company improve
positioning in the marketplace, enhance financial performance, and most importantly, fight off threats and take advantage of opportunities
in the external environment.
A weakness is any internal characteristic that limits effectiveness, performance, and the ability to accomplish objectives, meet threats,
and take advantage of opportunities.
It is also important to point out that a particular fact about the internal environment may have a weakness and a strength dimension. For
example, we might say that the company’s technical skills are of the highest quality and this is a strength, but since these skills are
possessed by only a few employees, it is also a weakness in that we need more people with such skills and would be hurt if a few key
people left the company.
Using the following 16 internal factors to stimulate your thinking, list all of the company strengths you can think of for each category.
Then review the same list of 16 internal factors and develop a list of company weaknesses. (You may not have access to all of the
information below, but try your best to identify at least five of them for your project).
Internal Factors
The following categories of internal factors are commonly used to generate a list of specific company strengths and weaknesses. This list
is to be used to stimulate your thinking about internal strengths and weaknesses.
1.Management leadership/capabilities.
2.Organization structure and management systems.
3.Facilities, equipment, and materials.
4.Technical skills and expertise.
5.Dedication, morale, and motivation of employees.
6.Capacity to meet demand—production capacity, including excess available for growing demand.
7.Marketing effectiveness/efficiency—advertising, personal selling, public relations, products/services, prices, distribution, marketing
research and planning, customer service, warranties, sales support, sales promotion, etc.
8.Ability to deliver what the market wants.
9.Ability to deliver in a timely manner.
10.Image and reputation as perceived by customers and within the industry.
11.Customer (and potential customer) perception—likes, dislikes, and perceptions of service, quality, etc.
12.Financial performance—sales, market share, customer satisfaction/loyalty, and profits.
13.Financial situation—availability of capital, internal funding, financial stability, etc.
14.Cost of operations—high cost vs. low cost, rising costs, costs compared to competition (manufacturing, distribution, etc.)
15.Geographic location(s).
16.Other relevant competencies/resources that translate into strengths that have not been mentioned. Also, any weaknesses we have missed
related to a lack of competencies and/or resources that are needed in the future.
B. Opportunities and Threats (External)
Think about the most significant trends in the organization’s external environment that will have an impact on future success. The
challenge is to identify relevant opportunities and threats outside management’s control that must be taken into consideration during the
planning process. You will need to list and describe the factors/issues forming industry trends that may influence future efforts one way
or the other, either as a positive force (opportunity) or as a barrier (threat).
An opportunity is the result of some trend or fact in the external environment that represents a marketplace and/or financial performance
advantage. It may indicate a new direction, product or service, and/or resource requirement for the company. It represents an attractive
arena for marketing action in which the company would enjoy a competitive advantage.
A threat is the result of some trend or fact in the external environment that represents an area of concern for management. It represents
a challenge posed by an unfavorable trend or development that would lead, in the absence of effective marketing action, to the erosion of
the company’s or industry’s position. A threat may:
1.Directly or indirectly affect the business.
2.Indicate an area to be avoided.
3.Demand a strategic response.
4.Represent an opportunity if responded to properly.
It should be pointed out that a particular trend in the external environment (for example, mergers/acquisitions, technological
advancements, and/or a recent change in the way competitors operate and what they are offering the market) can imply both a threat and an
opportunity. Sometimes in strategic planning we say that behind each threat (or problem) lies an opportunity. Or an optimist in strategic
planning will look at threats and try to turn them into opportunities. Thus, it should be remembered that if management can adapt properly
to a threat (such as mergers and acquisitions), this trend may be viewed as an opportunity as well as a threat.
Review the following 13 categories of external environmental trend factors and list the trends or issues that are relevant to the company
and industry. Then translate each factor identified into a specific opportunity and/or threat statement. That is, what are the
implications of each environmental trend or issue outside the company in terms of specific opportunities and/or threats? (You may not have
access to all the information below, but try your best to identify at least five of them for your project).
External Environmental Trend Factors
The following categories of external environmental trend factors are commonly considered in the planning process. They are used to develop
a specific list of company opportunities and threats. This list is to be used to stimulate your thinking about opportunities and threats
in the external environment.
1.Mergers and acquisitions—(e.g., among customers, potential customers, suppliers, competitors, and/or within the industry).
2.Competitive trends—specific competitive strategies and programs, or recent changes such as lower prices or new products.
3.Economic trends—forces and changes in the economy such as inflation, interest rates, recession.
4.Technological trends—new technological innovations.
5.Technical requirements—within the industry.
6.Market/industry trends—size of firm related to industry, financial performance of the industry compared with the firm, size/growth rate
of current and future potential market characteristics and trends in markets and industry.
7.Customer and potential customer attitudes—preferences, expectations, problems, wants, needs, etc. What changes are anticipated?
8.Legal trends—government regulations and policies.
9.Societal/lifestyle trends—changes in people’s values, attitudes, and activities.
10.New products/services—on the market.
11.Supply sources.
12.Declining or increasing productivity—in the industry or economy.
13.Other industry trends not previous mentioned that are relevant to the future.
Based on the detailed discussion of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, use SWOT tables for the SWOT analysis. In other
words, first state the facts based on your research, and then summarize the findings in a SWOT table. Note the examples below and follow
the “best statements” to describe the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats for your company and charge in SWOT table(s).
