Date: Signature of Student Christ University Abstract Effectiveness of films in propagating environmental issues- A comparison between live action and animation films Deepa Chandrashekhar Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr Sagarika Golder Department of Media Studies The thesis aims at finding out which is a better medium to communicate environmental issues. For the purpose of the research, four films were selected, two live action films and two animation films. 2012 and 8 Below are the two live action films and Wall-E and Madagascar are the two animation films. The study had a sample of 86 people, 45 females and 41 males respectively between the age group of 18 to 28 years. A survey was conducted, consisting of four questions each for the four films. The questions were devised to find out the theme of the films, whether or not the film has scientific grounding and if yes as to the reason why. After tabulating and analysing the results it can be seen that animation films are more popular as 76% of the sample has seen the animation films and majority of the sample believes the films have scientific grounding and that the issues and rendered in a comic fashion. 2012 and Madagascar have been watched equally by the sample, both of them have 80 percent.

  • Film Review-Madagascar
    Film review-Madagascar DreamWorks Animation presents a PDI / DreamWorks production MPAA rating PG / Running time — 86 minutes QUOTE: Halfway through, it becomes a really funny adult animation film. New York’s Central Park Zoo is home to a host of celebrity animals-Alex the Lion (Ben Stiller), who has been stripped of all animal passions and lusts. He’s a brand name performer with a line of toys and household accessories. His pals include Melman (David Schwimmer), a giraffe who craves vitamins and appointments, Gloria (Jada Pinkett Smith), a no-nonsense hippo, and Marty (Chris Rock), a zebra who yearns for more than being cooped up in a box gawked at by tourists. But it is the penguins who are the real adventurers here, and they decide to make a break for it and go to Antarctica (where, in full disclosure, I went this past Christmas and New Year’s. Yes, it is cold. And, frankly, an entire continent of penguins smells really bad! However, the icebergs are fantastic.) Marty decides to hightail it to the wild and free land of Connecticut. Alex, Melman, and Gloria take off to rescue him before he does something silly like forage for his own food. Boarding a train at Grand Central Station, they get caught and sent on a boat to Africa. The ship’s crew, slapped silly by the stowaway penguins, heads for Antarctica instead. Marty, Melman, Alex, and Gloria get shipwrecked and find themselves in Madagascar surrounded by lemurs ruled by King Julien the 13th (Sacha Baron Cohen). Soon, everyone is enjoying themselves but Alex starts looking for something other to eat than coconuts.

  • The Creation of Black Character Formulas: a Critical Examination of Stereotypical Anthropomorphic Depictions and Their Role in Maintaining Whiteness
    THE CREATION OF BLACK CHARACTER FORMULAS: A CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF STEREOTYPICAL ANTHROPOMORPHIC DEPICTIONS AND THEIR ROLE IN MAINTAINING WHITENESS THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master‘s Degree in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Melissa Renee Crum, B.A. Graduate Program in African American and African Studies The Ohio State University 2010 Master‘s Thesis Committee: Professor Horace Ike Newsum, Advisor Professor Maurice Stevens Professor Kenneth Goings Copyright by Melissa Renee Crum 2010 ABSTRACT The mass media industry as a hegemonic entity has played a vital role in displaying fallacious accounts of black life. Grounded in ideas from scholars like Richard Schechner, Patricia Ticineto, Joseph Roach and Sara Ahmed, this research is a critique of the ways in which memory, and its possible manifestations, plays in non-blacks‘ (specifically whites) interpretation, motivation, and perception of stereotypical visual portrayals of blackness. The focus will be on how the continuing phenomenon of stereotyping blackness in the 20th and 21st centuries is perpetuated in child-targeted feature-length animations with animal characters. I argue that the possible furtive and/or involuntary visual manifestations of ―black identity‖ in animation have their sources in a white historical memory that clings to the desire to maintain whiteness. This work demonstrates how ideas of blackness in white memory were not solely constructed from the imaginations of producers of mainstream culture. Rather black stereotypes are the result of a combination of black protest against negative portrayals, blacks as accomplices in perpetuating their negative stereotypes, and whites‘ imagined ways of blackness.

  • Introduction
    THE WORLD AROUND US Introduction Celebrating cinema as a ’passport to the world’, this strand includes films from Iran, France, Africa, New Zealand, Tibet and Mongolia. This resource aims to give these films a context, and to challenge children to think about how the language of film is a universal language that helps us to understand and accept different cultures. The resource will address aspects of P.S.H.E. and Citizenship as well as Literacy, Science and Geography. ©Film Education 2006 1 THE WORLD AROUND US Aliens of the Deep 3D Running Time: 50 minutes Cert: U Suitable for: KS1/2 Literacy, Geography, Science Synopsis A team of young scientists and marine explorers guide us through a journey to some of the Earth's deepest, most extreme and unknown environments in search of the bizarre and alien creatures that live there. Looking at ecosystems, intensely hot oases and oversized sea- creatures, you are invited to consider these strange life forms and decide what they could represent. Film Facts The director of Aliens of the Deep, James Cameron, directed the box office smash, Titanic in 1997. In this documentary, he worked with a team of NASA scientists to explore the Mid-Ocean Ridge, a submerged chain of mountains that band the Earth and are home to some of the planet's most unusual life forms. Pre-viewing activities 1. Where do you think the Earth’s ‘deepest, most extreme and unknown environments’ could be? Look at a globe or in an atlas to find out where the Earth’s deepest oceans, highest mountains and hottest deserts are.
