Submarine Study Notes ©Optimum Releasing
Submarine Study Notes Releasing ©Optimum Directed by: Richard Ayoade Certificate: 15 Running time: 97 mins Release date: 18 March 2011 Synopsis: Submarine is an offbeat comedy about a fifteen-year-old, Oliver Tate, who is obsessed with books, films and…a girl called Jordana. Desperate to lose his virginity while equally desperate to save his parents’ crumbling marriage, Oliver takes us on a quirky and strangely beautiful journey of love and loss through the industrial landscape of South Wales. These Study Notes are intended for students of Film and Media Studies at GCSE and AS/A2 or equivalent. The subject matter of the film also touches on aspects of the curriculum for PSHE. 1 www.filmeducation.org www.nationalschoolsfilmweek.org ©Film Education July 2011. Film Education is not responsible for the content of external websites. Before Viewing Submarine and music Music plays a particularly important part in Submarine. The film features a number of original songs written and performed by Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys. The film contains long wordless sequences underscored by these songs and, understandably, many critics have compared these sections to music videos. Interestingly, most of Ayoade’s directorial experience before Submarine was in music videos. z What sort of feeling and impact can music video have and what effect could a music video-style sequence achieve in a film? z Can you think of other films which feature extended montage sequences that are quite like music videos? z Take a look at Ayoade’s music videos for Kasabian’s ‘Vlad the Impaler’, The Last Shadow Puppets’ ‘My Mistakes’, Vampire Weekend’s ‘Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa’ and Arctic Monkeys’ ‘Fluorescent Adolescent’.

Comedic Indexes (See Bell 2001A, 2001B)
Indexes: comedic, humorous and laughable (for all the right reasons) Paula Clarke Bain, Marketing Director, Society of Indexers The set -up An index can provide an entertaining conclusion to a book in its own right. Some indexes can be unfortunately laughable for entirely the wrong reasons, but many authors and indexers choose to add deliberate humour to this final part of the book, and some do this very well. Over the last couple of years, I have been writing a series of blog posts on the comedy book index on my website ( baindex.org ), some of which have become articles for The Indexer journal (Bain 2017, 2018), continuing the fine tradition of Hazel Bell’s reviews of comedic indexes (see Bell 2001a, 2001b). I’m pleased to present an overview of some recent examples for this issue of Catalogue and Index . I have always had a great interest in comedy in my leisure time, and I have indexed a lot of books in my work hours, having been a full -time freelancer since 2001. It’s been a great delight to me, as both a comedy and indexing fan, to see that many of my favourite comedy writers have recently produced books that have plenty of humorous material in their indexes. These include Francis Wheen, Charlie Brooker, Richard Ayoade, and the writers of the Alan Partridge and Steven Toast characters, all of which I review below. Strange indexes indeed: Francis Wheen The earliest of these were two books by Francis Wheen, journalist and deputy editor of Private Eye magazine. How Mumbo -Jumbo Conquered the World was published in 2004 and Strange Days Indeed followed in 2009.

Channel 4 and British Film: an Assessment Of
Channel 4 and British Film: An Assessment of Industrial and Cultural Impact, 1982-1998 Laura Mayne This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Portsmouth. September 2014 i Abstract This thesis is an historical investigation of Channel 4’s influence on the British film industry and on British film culture between 1982 and 1998. Combining archival research with interview testimony and secondary literature, this thesis presents the history of a broadcaster’s involvement in British film production, while also examining the cultural and industrial impact of this involvement over time. This study of the interdependence of film and television will aim to bring together aspects of what have hitherto been separate disciplinary fields, and as such will make an important contribution to film and television studies. In order to better understand this interdependence, this thesis will offer some original ideas about the relationship between film and television, examining the ways in which Channel 4’s funding methods led to new production practices. Aside from the important part the Channel played in funding (predominantly low-budget) films during periods when the industry was in decline and film finance was scarce, this partnership had profound effects on British cinema in the 1980s and 1990s. In exploring these effects, this thesis will look at the ways in which the film funding practices of the Channel changed the landscape of the film industry, offered opportunities to emerging new talent, altered perceptions of British film culture at home and abroad, fostered innovative aesthetic practices and brought new images of Britain to cinema and television screens.

Acomparative Study of Middle English Romance and Modern Popular Sheikh Romance
DESIRING THE EAST: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF MIDDLE ENGLISH ROMANCE AND MODERN POPULAR SHEIKH ROMANCE AMY BURGE PHD UNIVERSITY OF YORK WOMEN‟S STUDIES SEPTEMBER 2012 ABSTRACT This thesis comparatively examines a selection of twenty-first century sheikh romances and Middle English romances from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries that imagine an erotic relationship occurring between east and west. They do so against a background of conflict, articulated in military confrontation and binary religious and ethnic division. The thesis explores the strategies used to facilitate the cross-cultural relationship across such a gulf of difference and considers what a comparison of medieval and modern romance can reveal about attitudes towards otherness in popular romance. In Chapter 1, I analyse the construction of the east in each genre, investigating how the homogenisation of the romance east in sheikh romance distances it from the geopolitical reality of those parts of the Middle East seen, by the west, to be „other‟. Chapter 2 examines the articulation of gender identity and the ways in which these romances subvert and reassert binary gender difference to uphold normative heterosexual relations. Chapter 3 considers how ethnic and religious difference is nuanced, in particular through the use of fabric, breaking down the disjunction between east and west. Chapter 4 investigates the way ethnicity, religion and gender affect hierarchies of power in the abduction motif, enabling undesirable aspects of the east to be recast. The key finding of this thesis is that both romance genres facilitate the cross-cultural erotic relationship by rewriting apparently binary differences of religion and ethnicity to create sameness.

Remediating the Eighties: Nostalgia and Retro in British Screen Fiction from 2005 to 2011
REMEDIATING THE EIGHTIES: NOSTALGIA AND RETRO IN BRITISH SCREEN FICTION FROM 2005 TO 2011 Thesis submitted by Caitlin Shaw In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy De Montfort University, March 2015 2 3 ABSTRACT This doctoral thesis studies a cycle of British film and television fictions produced in the years 2005-2011 and set retrospectively in the 1980s. In its identification and in-depth textual and contextual analysis of what it terms the ‘Eighties Cycle’, it offers a significant contribution to British film and television scholarship. It examines eighties- set productions as members of a sub-genre of British recent-past period dramas begging unique consideration outside of comparisons to British ‘heritage’ dramas, to contemporary social dramas or to actual history. It shows that incentives for depicting the eighties are wide-ranging; consequently, it situates productions within their cultural and industrial contexts, exploring how these dictate which eighties codes are cited and how they are textually used. The Introduction delineates the Eighties Cycle, establishes the project’s academic and historical basis and outlines its approach. Chapter 1 situates the work within the academic fields that inform it, briefly surveying histories and socio-cultural studies before examining and assessing existing scholarship on Eighties Cycle productions alongside critical literature on 1980s, 90s and contemporary British film and television; nostalgia and retro; modern media, history and memory; British and American period screen fiction; and transmedia storytelling. Chapter 2 considers how a selection of productions employing ‘the eighties’ as a visual and audio style invoke and assign meaning to commonly recognised aesthetic codes according to their targeted audiences and/or intended messages.
