  • Marble Hornets, the Slender Man, and The
    DIGITAL FOLKLORE: MARBLE HORNETS, THE SLENDER MAN, AND THE EMERGENCE OF FOLK HORROR IN ONLINE COMMUNITIES by Dana Keller B.A., The University of British Columbia, 2005 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Film Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) December 2013 © Dana Keller, 2013 Abstract In June 2009 a group of forum-goers on the popular culture website, Something Awful, created a monster called the Slender Man. Inhumanly tall, pale, black-clad, and with the power to control minds, the Slender Man references many classic, canonical horror monsters while simultaneously expressing an acute anxiety about the contemporary digital context that birthed him. This anxiety is apparent in the collective legends that have risen around the Slender Man since 2009, but it figures particularly strongly in the Web series Marble Hornets (Troy Wagner and Joseph DeLage June 2009 - ). This thesis examines Marble Hornets as an example of an emerging trend in digital, online cinema that it defines as “folk horror”: a subgenre of horror that is produced by online communities of everyday people— or folk—as opposed to professional crews working within the film industry. Works of folk horror address the questions and anxieties of our current, digital age by reflecting the changing roles and behaviours of the everyday person, who is becoming increasingly involved with the products of popular culture. After providing a context for understanding folk horror, this thesis analyzes Marble Hornets through the lens of folkloric narrative structures such as legends and folktales, and vernacular modes of filmmaking such as cinéma direct and found footage horror.

  • Models of Time Travel
    MODELS OF TIME TRAVEL A COMPARATIVE STUDY USING FILMS Guy Roland Micklethwait A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University July 2012 National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science ANU College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences APPENDIX I: FILMS REVIEWED Each of the following film reviews has been reduced to two pages. The first page of each of each review is objective; it includes factual information about the film and a synopsis not of the plot, but of how temporal phenomena were treated in the plot. The second page of the review is subjective; it includes the genre where I placed the film, my general comments and then a brief discussion about which model of time I felt was being used and why. It finishes with a diagrammatic representation of the timeline used in the film. Note that if a film has only one diagram, it is because the different journeys are using the same model of time in the same way. Sometimes several journeys are made. The present moment on any timeline is always taken at the start point of the first time travel journey, which is placed at the origin of the graph. The blue lines with arrows show where the time traveller’s trip began and ended. They can also be used to show how information is transmitted from one point on the timeline to another. When choosing a model of time for a particular film, I am not looking at what happened in the plot, but rather the type of timeline used in the film to describe the possible outcomes, as opposed to what happened.

  • Är Det Här Amerika?
    Är det här Amerika? En kvalitativ studie om musikvideon “This is America” och dess plats i den samhälleliga kontexten. Is This America? A qualitative study about the music video “This is America” and its position in the social context. Philip Alfredsson & Wictor Palmgren Fakulteten för humaniora och samhällsvetenskap Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap/Kommunikation & PR (program) C-uppsats - 15 hp Emilia Ljungberg HT 2018 Sammanfattning Att musik väcker känslor är nog något som vi alla kan komma överens om. Musiken kan få oss att skratta, gråta, dansa, ja, alla känslouttryck kan skapas genom den. Och kanske är den ultimata låten den som får oss att känna allting på en och samma gång, och får oss att vilja lyssna på den om och om igen. Vissa låtar med tillhörande musikvideos exploderar och får miljoner, för att inte tala om miljarder, klick. Musiken kan ibland bli mer än bara en låt, och folk kan bli sittandes och diskutera dess mening i timtal. Låten ​This is America​, med tillhörande musikvideo, är en sådan. Den här studien redogör för den videons beståndsdelar, hur den anspelar med den nutida politiska kontexten och vad för eko den har skapat till omvärlden. För att ta reda på hur videon blivit så populär författade vi en övergripande frågeställning som löd: “Hur ska vi förstå meningsskapandet i ​This is America​?”. Utifrån vår forskningsöversikt, kunde vi finna att ett popkulturellt fenomens mångtydighet och öppenhet till tolkning, bäddar för dess popularitet. Genom historien finns det även fog för att musik som är sprungen ur utanförskap och som kritiserar samhället, har möjlighet att bli än mer populär.
