It is not uncommon for a film version of a staged production to go through edits and adjustments. Complete songs and scenes will be rewritten or changed all together. Something interesting happened in the 1961 film ofWest Side Story. The decision was made to switch the songs “Cool” and “Gee, Officer Krupke”. In the original stage version, “Cool” is sung in Act One by Riff to calm down the Jets, and “Gee, Officer Krupke” is sung in Act Two by Action and the Jets as a response to the chaos that has happened since Riff’s death.
The film version, however, switches these two songs. In your opinion, why do you think the creative team chose to switch these two very different songs? Also, which version do you think is more effective in telling the story?
please respond with your opinion. if you have any question please feel free to message me

An analytical essay on the film KOREEDA Hirokazu, Nobody Knows (Dare mo shiranai) (2004). （https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0408664/）
Takes as its theme the symbols of things that appear in the movie. Particularly on the appearance of color as a symbol in the film and what it means. Lightly summarizes the historical context of the film, i.e., the film environment in Japan at the time. You will be required to quote specific scenes from the film and analyze their settings. Refer to the reading for help in understanding, do not use external sources of reference, and focus only on understanding the movie itself.
Below Discussion Questions as Inspiration：
1. What is special about the shooting and editing style of this film?
2. How would you characterize the emotional tone of the film (not the story itself but the film’s presentation of it)?
3. How is the passage of time marked in different ways? Does the film have a standard story structure (opening,
development, climax, conclusion)?
4. Would you characterize the film as being from the children’s point of view? Why or why not?
5. Information and cues are conveyed in subtle ways throughout the film.

Many ideas within Modern Science Fiction propose the theme of a conflict with an alien race, a revamp of social structures, and the hope for the future residing with the youth of society.
After reading, “Ender’s Game,” find one other Science Fiction work(movie, book, short story) with similar themes as noted above. Compare and contrast these themes in a 1-2 page paper.
You may utilize your textbook as a source for this assignment and should secure one other source to compare/contrast.
All papers submitted should adhere to APA formatting. The submissions should include:

this episode, Lwaxana meets and falls in love with a scientist named Timicin (who also falls in love with her). There’s a whole story happening here where he is trying to save his planet. But the aspect we are going to focus on are in these clips and gives us something to think about. See, in the culture of Timicin, they have a tradition called The Resolution. He will explain it in the first clip. You will hear his side and Lwaxana’s side. She, being from a different culture cannot understand why his culture has The Resolution. (If these clips really interest you, check out the whole episode. His daughter gets involved, his society thinks he is starting a revolution when he questions if he should really do this, etc. It’s very powerful and gets really deep.)
After watching the clips, take some time to really ponder what Timicin says, and what Lwaxana says. Then I want you to answer the following questions:
Timicin’s people have the age of 60 for the ritual. IF we did that ritual here, do you think 60 would be a good age for it, or do you think it should be older or younger?
If you were in Lwaxana’s shoes, would you beam down to be there with him for The Resolution or would you decline?
What do you think about the concept overall for The Resolution?

I’d like to choose Park Chan-wook’s Sympathy for Lady Vengeance to analyze in my formal analysis paper.
Please read My Proposal and Feedback from my professor before start your work.

Depending on the movie chosen, I will send the sources from that week’s readings (in the instructions it says to include sources from that week and other weeks). I need 3 sources from the weeks readings of the film chosen and 3 other sources making it 6 sources total.

Dear Writer,
I have attached the instructions file and the draft answer (example). You have to write a movie review (your own preference) by following the mentioed instructions and guidlines.

write a paper that combines original analysis and historical and/or
theoretical research to provide a compelling argument about New Hollywood Cinema. The subject and
trajectory of the final paper will ultimately be up to you, but it should accomplish three general goals:
1. Provide original analysis of one or more film (and/or print) texts, at least one of which has not been
screened nor discussed at length in peer presentations. ( Films screened and discussed are as follows – Targets (Peter Bogdanovich, 1968, 90m), Midnight Cowboy (John Schlesinger, 1969, 113m), Five Easy Pieces (Bob Rafelson, 1970, 98m), McCabe & Mrs. Miller (Robert Altman, 1971, 121m), Dog Day Afternoon (Sidney Lumet, 1975, 125m, Taxi Driver (Martin Scorsese, 1976, 114m), Medium Cool (Haskell Wexler, 1969, 110m), The Parallax View (Alan J. Pakula, 1974, 102m, Carrie (Brian De Palma, 1976, 98m), Wanda (Barbara Loden, 1970, 102m), Deliverance, Zabrinski Point.
2. Use a variety of (primary and) secondary sources to support and enrich your analysis.
3. Discuss the films in light of ideas, theories, and/or historical trends examined in our class this
semester. Mainly, 1960-1970s New Hollywood Cinema movement, auteurs, Todd Berliner on the poetics of seventies cinema.
adopt poetics as your general
approach. (Refer back to the Berliner book for a definition of poetics as an analytical framework.)

First Post: Explain what a movie is to someone who has never seen one (or any moving image, i.e. T.V.).
Imagine you are trying to describe what a film is to someone born in the latter half of the 19th century, BEFORE THE FIRST MOTION PICTURES HAD BEEN INVENTED IN THE 1890’s! Hint: In the nineteenth century, people could relate to paintings, plays, photographs and books. Maybe you could use those art forms or media as reference points (Please do not reference TV or internet – they did not exist!). It is not necessary for you to do research for this discussion to discuss the technology.
Hint: Focus on describing YOUR unique experience of watching a film.
