  • Than Digital Makeup: the Visual Effects Industry As Hollywood Diaspora
    More Than Digital Makeup: The Visual Effects Industry as Hollywood Diaspora By Sarah K. Hellström Department of Cinema Studies Master’s Thesis 15 hp Master Course 30 hp, VT 2013 Supervisor: Dr. Patrick Vonderau If I hear one more person who comes up to me and complains about [how]‘computer-music has no soul’ then I will go furious, you know. ‘Cause of course the computer is just a tool. And if there is no soul in computer-music then it's because nobody put it there and that's not the computers role, it's the role of the songwriter. He puts down his soul in the song if he wants to. A guitar will never write a song and a computer will never write a song, these are just tools.i - Björk Title: More Than Digital Makeup: The Visual Effects Industry as Hollywood Diaspora Author’s name: Sarah K. Hellström Supervisor: Dr. Patrick Vonderau Abstract This thesis assesses the marginal field (niche unit) of visual effects while taking into account visible and invisible vfx in virtual and actual geographies in Hollywood movies as part of industry-level studies, all the while seeking to bridge the gap between traditional, theoretical approaches of cinema studies and practitioner experience in the context of production culture. The focus of this essay remains on the many temporal aspects of production processes that identify vfx film production as chief, and vfx for television as subsequential. Encouraging scholars to consider a previously limited and repeatedly mislabeled area by demonstrating the pandemic presence of effects and its workers as a form of Hollywood diaspora, this thesis also seeks to demonstrate the need for involvement by means of scholar-practitioner methodologies.

  • 1. Introduction Everyone Likes Going to the Movies, Many of Which Play A
    1. Introduction Everyone likes going to the movies, many of which play a major cultural role in the modern world. This talk is all about the role that maths plays in the movies, and hence indirectly, on the culture of the modern world. At one level it may not appear to play much if a role at all, as the vast majority of movies do not seem to mention mathematics at all. This is not always the case of course. Maths does figure in the plot of such blockbusters. One of these is Jurassic Park, with Jeff Goldblum playing the mathematician concerned with the stability of the park and how this can be explained by using ‘chaos theory’. Another is Sherlock Holmes, in which (in the film Sherlock Holmes: a game of shadows) the great mathematician Professor Moriaty can be seen in front of a blackboard (designed by the genuine mathematician Prof Alain Goriely at the University of Oxford), which gives away the entire plot in mathematical form. Anyone who went to my last lecture will also have seen the role played by the maths of Big Data in the film Bridget Jones’s Baby. Some recent films have even featured real or fictional mathematicians as the central character, notable amongst these are The Imitation Game, about Alan Turing, A Beautiful Mind about John Nash, The Man Who Knew Infinity about Ramanujan (and others) and Good Will Hunting. Whilst it is very good (in my opinion) that mathematics is seen in the plot of these films (and I hope that we will see many more such films, for example a film about Galois would have it all in my opinion), it is not that aspect of maths which I will be discussing in this lecture.

It tells the story of Dr. Parnassus and his extraordinary ‘Imaginarium’, a travelling show where members of the audience get an irresistible opportunity to choose between light and joy or darkness and gloom. Blessed with the extraordinary gift of guiding the imaginations of others, Doctor Parnassus is cursed with a dark secret. An inveterate gambler, thousands of years ago he made a bet with the devil, Mr. Nick, in which he won immortality. Centuries later, on meeting his one true love, Dr. Parnassus made another deal with the devil, trading his immortality for youth, on condition that when his daughter reached her 16th birthday, she would become the property of Mr Nick. Valentina is now rapidly approaching this ‘coming of age’ milestone and Dr. Parnassus is desperate to protect her from her impending fate. Mr. Nick arrives to collect but, always keen to make a bet, renegotiates the wager.

By using a unique kinematic measurement technique, known as HAWK (Hand and Wrist Kinematics), researchers will be able to look at individual pianists’ playing technique - giving an insight into the posture of their hands on the keys and the movements they use - hopefully showing how this translates into the unique sound they create. The research will also provide new information on musicians’ hand health, to combat wrist injury (for example, repetitive strain injury - a common problem for pianists). The project is being led by world- renowned pianist and University of Southampton Music Professor David Owen Norris and Health Sciences academic Dr. Cheryl Metcalf. Professor Norris can track the hand movements of pianists by using a 12 camera T-Series system and Nexus software from Vicon.

  • An Account and Analysis of the Culture and Practices of Screenplay Development in the UK’
    1 ‘An account and analysis of the culture and practices of screenplay development in the UK’ Harley Benedict Lyle PhD Thesis University of East Anglia School of Art, Media and American Studies June 2015 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 2 Abstract This thesis looks at screenplay development as an industrial process, worthy of critically rigorous industry-level study. It analyses in particular how screenwriters, producers and development executives in the UK industry make knowledge claims, how they talk about gaining this knowledge and how they talk about the aims and practices of screenplay development – all through the prism of in-depth interviews. In doing so it contributes to Production Studies debates around film, specifically by arguing for and illustrating the importance of the development process. This analysis further leads to a new model of film screenplay development as a separate field of cultural production, one whose norms, conventions and constitution have a great bearing on the industry as a whole. This thesis also adds to the current debates around screenwriting and the screenplay. In particular, in addition to explicating how those practitioners engaged in the work see the process, this study proposes a new way of looking at the purpose

Long Synopsis A kiwi commando team, Captain Ben Grogan and Sergeant Joseph Tane, are sent on a mission to destroy gun emplacements inside German occupied territory in the Channel Islands on the eve of D-Day. They are diverted off their landing point by strong currents, but eventually find themselves near to the entrance of a bunker where they hear what sounds to be the screams of tortured prisoners inside. After placing the explosives on the gun directly outside the bunker entrance, they surprise and kill a German soldier who comes out pleading for help. On hearing the screams of a woman inside, Grogan makes the decision to go on an unauthorised rescue mission despite Tane‟s protests. Tane waiting at the entrance fears the worst but is compelled to go inside to look for Grogan after hearing a gunshot.
