  • Hearst Pays $81.3M for Stake in Awesomenesstv 12 December 2014
    Hearst pays $81.3M for stake in AwesomenessTV 12 December 2014 Hearst Corp. is betting $81.3 million that Internet video network AwesomenessTV will live up to its name. The investment announced Thursday gives Hearst a 25 percent stake in AwesomenessTV, which DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. acquired in May 2013. The deal is the latest to underscore the growing popularity of Internet video services. Glendale- based DreamWorks bought AwesomenessTV, or ATV, at a price that could exceed $100 million if certain financial targets are reached. Just 19 months later, Awesomeness TV has now been valued at $325 million, based on Hearst's investment. ATV, which tailors its videos for teens, got its start with a small piece of the $100 million that Google Inc.'s YouTube doled out to about 100 programmers in 2012. New York-based Hearst, which owns 29 traditional television stations, hopes to help ATV expand its audience beyond the viewers who watch the network's clips about 800 million times per month. Among other things, Hearst is allowing ATV to use its video-on-demand technology to expand. "For us, it's very important to make a bet on the future of how content is created," said Hearst CEO Steven Swartz. ATV's stable of talent includes Cimorelli, Miss Glamorazzi, Tyler Oakley, Cameron Dallas and Nash Grier. © 2014 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

  • Recommended Films: a Preparation for a Level Film Studies
    Preparation for A-Level Film Studies: First and foremost a knowledge of film is needed for this course, often in lessons, teachers will reference films other than the ones being studied. Ideally you should be watching films regularly, not just the big mainstream films, but also a range of films both old and new. We have put together a list of highly useful films to have watched. We recommend you begin watching some these, as and where you can. There are also a great many online lists of ‘greatest films of all time’, which are worth looking through. Citizen Kane: Orson Welles 1941 Arguably the greatest film ever made and often features at the top of film critic and film historian lists. Welles is also regarded as one the greatest filmmakers and in this film: he directed, wrote and starred. It pioneered numerous film making techniques and is oft parodied, it is one of the best. It’s a Wonderful Life: Frank Capra, 1946 One of my personal favourite films and one I watch every Christmas. It’s a Wonderful Life is another film which often appears high on lists of greatest films, it is a genuinely happy and uplifting film without being too sweet. James Stewart is one of the best actors of his generation and this is one of his strongest performances. Casablanca: Michael Curtiz, 1942 This is a masterclass in storytelling, staring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. It probably has some of the most memorable lines of dialogue for its time including, ‘here’s looking at you’ and ‘of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine’.

  • Body Positivity “I Could Have Never Imagined How Much It Would Cost Me to Attempt to Reach the Standard of Today’S Beauty
    Body Positivity “I could have never imagined how much it would cost me to attempt to reach the standard of today’s beauty. —Sadie Roberston, “I Woke Up Like This” Beyoncé Was Right: When It Comes to Beauty, “It’s the Soul That Needs the Surgery” Katrina (not her real name) struggled through middle school and high school. It was a difficult time for her, not simply because she was socially awkward, but also because of how she looked. She rarely felt pretty: She struggled on and off with acne, had braces for a while, and had no idea what to do with her crazy hair. To add insult to injury, she didn’t know how to dress stylishly and would often feel embarrassed about her clothes. Our society puts a heavy burden on people, women in particular, to measure up to certain standards of physical beauty. The body positivity movement has arisen in response to these unattainable ideals. It attempts to redefine beauty and human worth and has made its way from social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter into our mainstream marketing. But is it the answer that all teenagers who struggle to accept themselves desperately long for? Despite the necessity of this movement, or at least something like it, body positivity is complicated and nuanced—and very worth talking about with your teens. How do teens feel about their bodies? In her book, Unashamed: Healing Our Brokenness and Finding Freedom from Shame, Heather Davis Nelson writes, “Shame commonly masquerades as embarrassment, or the nagging sense of ‘not quite good enough.’” This is how Katrina felt, and it’s a feeling that many teens can relate to, especially when it comes to their bodies.
