    FinalProject 25/08/2018, 930 PM COGS108 Final Project Group Members: Yanyi Wang Ziwen Zeng Lingfei Lu Yuhan Wang Yuqing Deng Introduction and Background Movie revenue is one of the most important measure of good and bad movies. Revenue is also the most important and intuitionistic feedback to producers, directors and actors. Therefore it is worth for us to put effort on analyzing what factors correlate to revenue, so that producers, directors and actors know how to get higher revenue on next movie by focusing on most correlated factors. Our project focuses on anaylzing all kinds of factors that correlated to revenue, for example, genres, elements in the movie, popularity, release month, runtime, vote average, vote count on website and cast etc. After analysis, we can clearly know what are the crucial factors to a movie's revenue and our analysis can be used as a guide for people shooting movies who want to earn higher renveue for their next movie. They can focus on those most correlated factors, for example, shooting specific genre and hire some actors who have higher average revenue. Reasrch Question: Various factors blend together to create a high revenue for movie, but what are the most important aspect contribute to higher revenue? What aspects should people put more effort on and what factors should people focus on when they try to higher the revenue of a movie? http://localhost:8888/nbconvert/html/Desktop/MyProjects/Pr_085/FinalProject.ipynb?download=false Page 1 of 62 FinalProject 25/08/2018, 930 PM Hypothesis: We predict that the following factors contribute the most to movie revenue.

  • Aesthetic Investigations
    Casting Allusions Author Affiliation Jason Holt Acadia University, Canada Abstract: The modest philosophical literature on allusion focuses on descriptive issues concerning literary examples, and thus tends to neglect both allusions in other media and normative concerns about allusions in general. In this paper I will help fill both gaps through an analysis of three different cases of what I call casting allusions, which depend on the audience’s recognition that a certain cast member was also in the cast of a different work. These cases vary greatly in aesthetic merit, and this is best explained via two dimensions of allusive value: richness (given the medium) and dynamic engagement. All else being equal, an allusion will be more aesthetically pleasing when it relies on a wider variety of medium-relevant input types or prompts less passive, more evolving audience response. Such an account finds further support in elaborate cinematic examples, such as the tapestry of allusions to Bruce Lee in the Kill Bill films. Among the things we often appreciate in rewarding encounters with artworks are connections to other works. For instance, we may appreciate how one work is similar to another in its quality or style. Sometimes more specific connections can be discerned, as when one work makes reference to another, as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead liberally refers to and otherwise draws on Hamlet (ostensibly occurring in the same fictional realm). Although most artworks are not so richly and dependently referential as the Stoppard play or film, such links are not uncommon in our encounters with art. Less direct, often subtler references include allusions, and although most works c Aesthetic Investigations Vol 2, No 2 (2019), 215-226 Casting Allusions containing allusions may be appreciated independently of allusiveness (unlike the Stoppard case), certainly those with the requisite taste may find just the right allusion to add significantly to their interpretation, or failing that, to add spice to the savoured work.

  • Cast Bios David Carradine
    ‘SON OF THE DRAGON’ CAST BIOS DAVID CARRADINE (Bird) – In a professional career spanning 45 years, David Carradine has more than 200 credits as an actor in film, television and stage. He is the man audiences immediately picture in their minds when they hear the words “kung fu.” Carradine has appeared in 118 films, 32 plays, 27 television movies of the week, miniseries and dramatic specials, starred in three series, and made over 35 guest appearances on various series. His second starring role, as Caine in “Kung Fu,” evolved into becoming one of the most iconic roles in the history of television. In addition to the smash hit series that garnered Carradine both Emmy ® and Golden Globe ® nominations, it also introduced many viewers to Asian martial arts and Chinese philosophy. There were also two television movies,”Kung Fu, The Way of the Dragon” and “Kung Fu the Movie.” Carradine resurrected his Caine character with a second series, “Kung Fu, The Legend Continues,” which he also co-produced. He also authored Spirit of Shaolin, a Handbook of Kung Fu Philosophy and voiced “Caine, The Kung Fu Adventure Online.” A member of one of Hollywood’s acting dynasties, Carradine followed his father, John, a star of screen and stage dating back to the golden era of Hollywood, into the family business. Carradine and his well-known brothers represent the second generation and many of their children make up a third generation of established actors. Affirming his status as an acting legend, Carradine has his own star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame.
