    1 COM 221: Introduction to Film Dr. Neuendorf Sample Final Exam #1 PRINT NAME:_____________________________ SS#:______________________________________ CSU ID#:__________________________________ Multiple Choice/T-F--Indicate one letter on your opscan/scantron answer sheet: 1. The annual Cleveland Film Festival features American films not produced by major commercial studios, as well as films made in such countries as Poland, New Zealand, and Zimbabwe. Most of the Festival films, then, could be considered: a. Bollywood films b. Second City Cinema c. indies and Third Cinema d. New Wave Cinema and Race Movies 2. Our ability to use the auteur theory, as well as to analyze genre and conduct formalistic analyses of the mise-en- scene, is largely due to the work of six young men writing in a film journal in the 1950's. They all studied films of all types at their local cinematheque before trying to make films themselves. When they finally did make films, the works were heralded as being inventive and eclectic. These men have been called: a. the German Expressionists b. the French Dadaists c. the Italian Neorealists d. the French New Wave 3. In films such as Contact, What Dreams May Come, and Mighty Joe Young, some of the special visual effects include images that have been created electronically, without hand drawings, and without models constructed. That would indicate what type of animation? a. computer animation b. stop-motion animation c. cel animation d. multiplane animation 4. The 1994 film The Crow (D: Alex Proyas), starring the late Brandon Lee, a young rock musician rises from the grave and seeks vengeance with the aid of a spectral crow.

  • In Writing This Book, I've Suppressed a Number of Scholarly In
    NOTES n writing this book, I’ve suppressed a number of scholarly in- Istincts. Most importantly, I’ve sacrificed precise attribution and sourcing in the text at the altar of readability. In these references, I attempt to make amends. For each chapter, I have combined a discussion of specific sources for sections of the book, recommendations for further reading, and specific citations for any direct quotes. The sources for each chapter are organized in the order in which they contributed to the chapter. The suggestions for further reading are either an effort to point interested readers to original sources or to accessible treatments of these ideas. I hope these recommendations will also serve to acknowledge the many scholars whose work I have tried to summarize. A textbook treatment of the ideas of finance is an excellent next step for those interested in learning more. I recommend Bodie, Zvi, Alex Kane, and Alan J. Marcus. Investments. Boston: McGraw-Hill Irwin, 2013; and Berk, Jonathan B., and Peter M. DeMarzo. Corpo- rate Finance. Boston: Pearson Addison Wesley, 2013. A more acces- sible treatment of these ideas for practitioners is provided in Hig- gins, Robert C. Analysis for Financial Management. 11th ed. New York: McGraw-Hill Education, 2016. Robert Shiller’s Finance and the Good Society. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2012, is another excellent general source. My own effort at making finance accessible is the HBX online course “Leading with Finance.” MOV.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission November 10, 2009, Designation List 422 LP-2330 E. HAYWARD and AMELIA PARSONS FERRY HOUSE, 26 West 56th Street, Manhattan Built 1871, D. & J. Jardine, architects; remodeled with a new façade 1907-08, Harry Allan Jacobs, architect Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1271, Lot 54 On March 24, 2009, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the E. Hayward and Amelia Parsons Ferry House and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 2). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of the law. A total of nine witnesses, including representatives of City Council member Daniel Garodnick, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, the Municipal Art Society, the Historic Districts Council, the Society for the Architecture of the City, three members of the West-54-55 Street Block Association and the president of the 45 West 54 Corporation testified in support of the proposed designation. In addition the commission has received letters in support of this designation from State Senator Liz Krueger, the Metropolitan Chapter of the Victorian Society in America, and several members of the West 54th and 55th Street Block Association. There were no speakers or letters in opposition to the designation. Prior to the hearing, on June 12, 2008, Manhattan Community Board Five voted to request the designation of this building. Summary Remodeled in 1907-08 by the noted architect Harry Allan Jacobs for investment banker Isaac Seligman and long occupied by banker E. Hayward Ferry and his wife Amelia Parsons Ferry, this highly intact former townhouse is an exceptionally fine example of the restrained Neo- French Classic variant of the Beaux Arts style and forms part of “Bankers Row,” a group of five residences built for bankers on West 56th Street, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues.

    Joseph E. Levine: Showmanship, Reputation and Industrial Practice 1945 - 1977 A.T. McKenna PhD Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham School of American & Canadian Studies March 2008 Acknowledgements I would first like to thank my PhD supervisor, Julian Stringer, for his tireless support of this project since its inception. Julian has provided me with extremely valuable advice and guidance as well as allowing me access to his extraordinarily detailed knowledge of film history and scholarship. He also allowed me a great deal of latitude in my approach to researching what turned out to be a very complex project. I would also like to thank all those I have interviewed for this project: Larry Turman, Albert Maysles, Ray Galton and Alan Simpson. My thanks also go to the staff of the various libraries and archives I have visited: the staff of the Hallward Library at The University of Nottingham, the staff of the BFI Library in London, the staff of the Howard Gottleib Research Center in Boston and the staff of the Margaret Herrick Library in Beverly Hills – especially Jenny Romero. Thanks also to all those at the Department of American and Canadian Studies at The University of Nottingham, particularly Peter Urquhart, Roberta Pearson, Sharon Monteith and Ann McQueen for their help, advice and input.

  • The Producers
    The Producers By Brian Scott Mednick The partnership between Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder is re- sponsible for a comic trifecta of films that are considered among the funniest ever made: “Blazing Saddles” and “Young Frankenstein” (both from 1974) and the one that started it all, “The Producers” (1968). Wilder’s big break came while he was on Broadway in the original 1963 production of “Mother Courage and Her Children.” The show was not a success but its star was Anne Bancroft. Bancroft was then dating future husband Mel Gene Wilder looks on as Zero Mostel counts the money they’ve scammed from Brooks, who often hung out little old ladies.
